Politico surveyed 50 Hill Republicans. Only 7 said they plan to attend Donald Trump’s $45 million taxpayer-funded, North Korea-like spectacle on June 14th. The massive self-tribute “will feature 6,600 soldiers, 50 military aircraft and 150 vehicles,” according to People.
It’s top-level Republicans who are dodging Marie Antoinette Trump’s birthday parade (he pretends it’s a birthday party for the Army). They include the chairs of the House and Senate Armed Services committees and the top congressional officials overseeing the military, Politico found. Speaker Mike Johnson’s office did not respond to Politico’s inquiry. He probably hasn’t yet removed his finger from the wind.
It’s not like those elusive Republicans have the courage to publicly state the obvious: The parade is an obscene waste of money, especially, when you’re plotting to seize life-saving services from the poor in order to make the rich richer.
