Trump Plans Expensive Military Parade to Celebrate Birthday and Army Anniversary
Donald Trump is set to mark his birthday with a lavish military parade on June 14, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Reports suggest that the parade will include 25 Abrams tanks and a host of military displays, with costs spiraling to as much as $45 million. The extensive plans have drawn criticism, with many labeling the celebration a waste of taxpayer funds. Protests against the event are also expected as the public expresses mixed feelings about the militarization of such a personal celebration.
