Trump Cancels Parade For This Important Reason

President Trump has cancelled the military parade for 2018, citing high costs. The Daily Wire reports:

The military parade that President Trump wanted following his trip to France has been canceled due to the high costs.

According to The Hill, the president said on Friday that he “was canceling plans for a military parade, blaming a $92 million price tag and local politicians in Washington, D.C.”

With reports estimating on Thursday the military parade would exceed $80 million during a time of rising debt, Trump took to Twitter saying “local politicians” were responsible for the rising price tag.

“The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it. When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up! I will instead attend the big parade already scheduled at Andrews Air Force Base on a different date, & go to the Paris parade, celebrating the end of the War, on November 11th,” Trump wrote.

Will the costs for a parade go down next year? In the meantime, Trump has vowed to shift that money to purchase additional military hardware.

Democrats complain that the President has added too much to the national deficit and when he saves 90 million dollars (seems to be fake a amount) they are still complaining. Perfect example with Democrats that President Trump will never win in his quest to make America Great again. But I believe he will for the Man upstairs approves of him despite his sinful nature that we all have.

You won’t get any argument from the troops. They’d rather have $46 ($92 million ÷ 2 million active duty and reserve troops).

The President did the right thing, but the local thieves who claim to be politicians were ready and able to make a fast buck, but that won’t work with President Trump!

Politicians are always the problem. Self interest oversees caring about the people voting them into their cushy lifestyles. A Businessman looks at things differently. A Businessman wants results, and at the best price with profit. Definition of a politician: “Poly means many, and tic is a blood sucking insect” Sounds about right!
