Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to spend a staggering $100 million on a massive military parade that will wind its way through the streets of Washington on his birthday.
Grandiose Display of US Might
For years, the president has harbored ambitions of showcasing America's military strength in a grand parade, and now, plans are finally in motion.
Route and Details
Sources in Washington have disclosed that Trump intends to hold the elaborate military parade on January 14, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the US Army. The procession is slated to commence at the Pentagon in Arlington, making its way through DC to culminate at the White House.
Previous Attempts and Inspiration
In 2017, Trump's initial desire for a military parade was sparked by watching a similar display in France hosted by President Emmanuel Macron. Despite facing obstacles and a $91 million price tag for the first attempt, Trump is now determined to bring his vision to life.
Concerns and Future Plans
While concerns over costs and road damage halted Trump's earlier plans, the president seems undeterred and is reportedly pushing forward with the ambitious military spectacle, aiming to make it a historic event.
Upcoming Celebrations
In addition to the military parade, Trump is also planning a "Great American State Fair" to mark the country's 250th birthday in 2026. This grand festival is expected to showcase America's greatness and patriotism in a year-long celebration.
Various attractions and a "National Garden of American Heroes" featuring statues of prominent figures in US history are also in the works for the event.
