Just like North Korea’s dictator Kim Chong Un, Trump is planning on throwing himself a military parade for his upcoming birthday.

Estimates put the cost in the tens of millions, which will all be paid by the taxpayers.
Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on President Donald Trump’s birthday in June call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press has learned.

While the slides do not include any price estimates, it would likely cost tens of millions of dollars to put on a parade of that size. Costs would include the movement of military vehicles, equipment, aircraft and troops from across the country to Washington and the need to feed and house thousands of service members.

I guess the North Korean styled Cabinet meetings, where 90% of the time is spent praising him, isn’t satiating enough.

Isn't this required to honor the one the Mormons call "The one mighty and strong," or Floridians might call "Der Swamp Führer"?

Trump figures it’s his time for honoring himself.

The plans say the parade would include a Stryker battalion with two companies of Stryker vehicles, a tank battalion and two companies of tanks, an infantry battalion with Bradley vehicles, Paladin artillery vehicles, howitzers and infantry vehicles.

There would be seven Army bands and a parachute jump by the Golden Knights. And documents suggest that civilian participants would include historical vehicles and aircraft, and two bands, along with people from veterans groups, military colleges, and reenactor organizations.

Followed by fireworks at a cost of $92 million.

But hey... no mention of Soviet-style missiles that the Russians used to display!
