President Trump on Friday canceled his military parade as he accused DC politicians of price-gouging — a day after his own secretary of defense scoffed at a report about the 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,” Trump said on Twitter.
“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,” he wrote, referring to the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
“Maybe we will do something next year in D.C. when the cost comes WAY DOWN. Now we can buy some more jet fighters!” Trump added.
He did not explain how the costs would be reduced and it was not immediately clear what previously scheduled parade he was referring to at the base in Maryland.

only insecure 3rd world dictators need a military parade, hard working first world tax paying americans who are trying to pay off a $20 trillion national debt don`t need a military parade.most of us won`t even see the parade because we`ll be too busy working and paying taxes to pay off the $20 trillion debt and the cost of the parade which we will never see.
And one reason you need to work is to pay the cost of welfare all these illegals suck off.
The mightiest nation on earth with a global currency does not need to flaunt .
