The U.S. Army is planning a historic parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., on June 14 that will coincide with and be part of the Army’s long-planned 250th celebration.

The parade will involve some 6,600 soldiers, tanks and infantry vehicles, helicopter flyovers and parachute jumps, according to several people familiar with the planning effort, and will also occur on Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

The timing and White House involvement in planning efforts have stoked speculation that Trump is using the Army’s birthday as an excuse to get the kind of grand military parade he wanted during his first term in office. That event was scrapped after estimates topped $90 million.

    •Military parade to celebrate your greatness as your tariffs absolutely massacre the economy, officially cementing record for the lowest first 100 days in office in 80 years

    •Answering “IDK” when asked if you will uphold the constitution

    • Your vice president saying “I don’t really care that much,” when asked about low approval ratings

    •Your speaker of the House trying to gaslight the country into believing this is all for our own good as Walmart warns shelves will soon be empty.

    •We have yet to roll out a bird flu vaccine, but we are banning some dyes in food and fluoride in drinking water…

    Just stating all that to get a sense of where the red line is now? Wondering when/if the Republicans in the House and Senate will be continuing to move it as more “healthy Americans,” somehow die from making America so healthy/great or do they stop bothering. Are they hoping we all just die off from disease/fighting each other for the last remaining resources before the midterms?
