A bargain
And speaking of trying to slash budgets for everything that’s not weapons or presidential travel while also pissing it away on graft and trumpian whims – Donnie’s Excellent Parade will cost between 10 and 30 million.
Trump’s military parade would cost between $10 million and $30 million, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said on Wednesday.
Mulvaney offered the estimate during questioning at the House Budget Committee. He said the White House hasn’t yet budgeted for the parade and would either rely on Congress to appropriate funds, or use money that already has been approved.
“The estimates I’ve seen, they’re very preliminary, is between 10 [million dollars] and 30 [million dollars] depending upon the length,” Mulvaney said. “Obviously an hour parade is different from a five-hour parade in terms of the cost and the equipment and those types of things.”
As a one-man parade, Don is much more expensive than that.
Must be His Stoolness’ New Clothes?
Speaking of parades …

A 5 hour parade? The mind boggles.
I don’t suppose there is any way he could force us all to watch his stupid parade, is there?
Not so far!
And how did the French justify the cost of their big march past Two-Scoops?
However much he might flatter himself that it was for his benefit, the Bastille Day Parade has been held regularly for more than a century. It’s usual and expected and likely budgeted for. My understanding of Trump’s Parade is that this is Strange and Unusual for the U.S., but then so is Trump.
