It’s a parade for a grifter, they went the extra mile and grifted the parade spending too.
Special thanks to our sponsor of the US Army - Coinbase!
this shit cost like $4k per attendee
It looks like toy tanks and plastic army men marching.
Cuz it was a graft. They just pocketed all the sponsorships and stuff.
Gross as in big (failure) and gross as in disgusting.
Both
Welcome to the United States Army and have a great life,” Trump said after they recited the Oath of Enlistment.
Trump, after they did all the "unimportant constitution" parts: "I thought we edited that out"
Drumpf, the entirety of the Republican party and their voters are all GROSS FAILURES...
Republicans: I know you are, but what am I?
What was it after tax?
A net failure
Welcome to the parade sponsored by Carl's Jr

After two hours, the event reached its logical conclusion: political speeches. J.D. Vance briefly went first. “June 14 is of course the birthday of the Army,” Vance said. “It is, of course, the birthday of the president of the United States. And Happy Birthday, Mr. President.” He delivered the laugh line of the night. “It’s also my wedding anniversary,” he said before immediately leaving the stage.
DJ PopeKillah got the parade for free!
And his base will still support him.
And how exactly did that failure show? Nothing exploded, people were attending, nothing at all was out of line. Just a regular parade.
It's literally the first line of the article: cost up to $45 million, was short on attendees, long on political speeches.
Isn't it what all parades are? Costly and propagandish? That is their essence.
And that "short on attendees" needs concrete numbers. If there were 15 people total, I would agree without knowing how many were actually expected...

The only videos I can find of soldiers marching has them in normal-ass fatigues, shuffling like people ashamed of being there. Reeks of veiled cringe.
Rofl I read that it was supposed to have “historical uniforms” with all eras of the US military represented from pre America colonial times up until now. I’m not super into military stuff but I am super into history and I understand militaries play integral part of modern history and was a little bummed such an interesting idea was being wasted on someone so shitty not like, our 250th birthday or something more wholesome. Hilarious it’s just some dudes in fatigues and some squeaky tanks
Even soldiers marched wrong out of protest.
They marched fine on nato military parades. Its like they do not respect their president or something.
I'm having trouble finding a video of that. Don't suppose you can share one?"military parade protest" finds protests about the parade rather than in it.
Username sure checks out
Bait used to be believable SMH.
Yeah literally nothing in the article to suggest that it was a failure. He screamed his propaganda, people were there for it and his sponsors got their word out.
