Trump to celebrate military strength in parade – while growing national debt and gutting vital programs

Life is full of Coincidences.

Funny thing President Trump is very busy organizing a giant national parade on June 14. The parade will rival those held in Russia, China, and North Korea where the leader of the nation watches and reviews the military marching in formation all while saluting the President and invited dignitaries. Fly overs of jets and bombers I am sure, with large tanks rolling down the Capitol streets, maybe large missiles on trucks all to impress foreign governments with our national might.

The U.S. Army celebrates its 250th birthday on June 14, 2025, commemorating the Army’s distinguished service to our nation. The central theme for this year’s celebration is “This We’ll Defend.”

Oh, I forgot to mention the Coincidence – it is our Dear Leader’s 74 birthday.

We have a national debt of 36+ trillion dollars, with Congress gutting vital government programs deemed wasteful for citizens and our needy poor, but we will spare no expense to have the world celebrate our military strength.
