I guess Trump is cancelling his grand military parade because, at it turns out, to create the parade he wanted, it would run about $92 million!  $92 MILLION.  If that number doesn’t raise your blood pressure a few points, it should be noted that that number is about $80 million over budget.  And that’s not hyperbole.  That’s about 766% over the expected budget.  And it leaves me once again with the question, who the hell was this parade for?  I mean, what was the purpose?  Listen, I appreciate the troops as much as the next guy, but sending our tanks and missiles down Pennsylvania Ave. doesn’t make me think of our troops.  It makes me think Trump is proud of our guns.  And the reality is, I think that’s more of the point.  As much as Trump wants us to believe this was about troop morale, I think it’s more akin to Trump really wanting to show off the nation’s firepower.  Because we all know what people say about the size of one’s guns…that’s it’s reflective of the size of their insecurity.
