Absolutely not on a parade to glorify Trump, spend the money for Scholarships for fallen soldiers
children, or for their medical or for medical for our Soldiers, or for a homeless shelter for our
homeless Vets. spend it on something important, but never on Trump, he spends enough of taxpayers
money on himself. He must spend $ 22 million every weekend he goes to Mar a Largo, haven't we
paid out enough money for this worthless man. Poor Milania, I can't even imagine how she must
feel.

NO!!!! We do not need an "ego parade" for "MOTUS". The funds would be better spent on actually helping our brave military with issues which ensue from serving in the armed forces that affect so many. Homelessness, mental health, family needs, medical and better benefits, etc. are real issues that should be addressed before the type of "parade" demands are even considered. The USA is not North Korea or Russia, countries which thrive on boasting about their "military might" while their citizens go hungry, are repressed and brain washed into thinking "showing off" serves anyone besides their "leaders". Hopefully military cabinet members sane actions will prevail and refuse this outrageous, thoughtless demand. I do not know anyone who is not appreciative of any military service member. Their sacrifices and service should be rewarded with tangible actions which would be much more meaningful. My sincere thanks to all US military, past and present. Our US military members are what makes our country GREAT!!!

Absolutely not! And no wall either! Does Trump not remember the feeling when the Berlin Wall was finally destroyed during Reagan's term? This man is so obsessed with himself that he cannot see beyond his own narcissism. His arrogance is only exceeded by his ignorance!

Absolutely not! With this man's bloated ego and sick sense of self, no matter what cover he claims, this parade would be for him! He has reduced our reputation across the world, disrespects anyone who doesn't look like him and has reduced the bar for what a president should be. I love the military and take every chance to say and show that, but this parade would not be for the military.

A parade of our military might at this time can clearly be judged as a shameful effort by POTUS to satisfy his insatiable ego. As a veteran of Korean War and parades. I strongly oppose THE PARADE.

As a Vietnam vet, I feel that the 5 time draft dodger whose only claim to sacrifice was having unprotected sex while 58,000 Americans died. Why does he think the glorification of war is something to be proud of? He deserves only to be run out of office for his continued massive theft of the taxpayers money.

Yes and no. The military deserves to be recognized. Without them, there would not be any MLK parades, GBGT (?) and hundreds of others. They are what keeps this country great. I'm all for it, but the timing is bad

Not only is it a huge waste of money, that could be more wisely used on infrastructure or Veterns benefits, it also is something that weaker nations do to look strong. We don’t need to compete with North Korea in the size of our weapons or our military might. The strength of our military is a given.

We will be in the area of $400-500 bil. deficit in the Fed budget the next 2 yrs.
Rep. and Dems just keep on spending.
With $20 Trill (how many zeros in a trillion) in deficit, and how much waste is there?
Where is all the Trillions that were wasted in all the QE's? With all the bankruptcies on solar "investments" and "solar" plants in the QE's, and continued subsidizing of solar sales with tax dollars!
Who and how will citizens, now and in the future, will pay for it, or do we need a world wide financial collapse?

Only dictators in banana republics hold such parades to bolster their egos -- we're not a banana republic yet but are egomaniac president is movie us in that direction.

Absolutely NO. Use the money to help homeless veterans, or, to hire more doctors and nurses for the veterans hospitals, or, build a national veterans hospital. TRump is a narcissistic maniac, with the mind of a adolescent. Don't indulge his amoral socialpathic tendencies.

What a colossal waste of taxpayer money just to feed the insatiable ego of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder in a suit we elected. What's more shameful is how Americans tolerate and downright this incompetent and likely treasonous buffoon.

Absolutely not! Money would be better spent on healthcare, infrastructure, and environment. They talk about cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, yet want to spend millions on a parade. A military parade would just be an expensive ego trip for Trump. He wants to see all those soldiers saluting him.
