Trump defends the high price tag for his military parade: 'Peanuts compared to the value'

In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Trump also outlined a White House renovation he hopes to carry out — which he said he will pay for himself.
For the strongest military in the world, it's degrading. This is pure government waste. Only a malignant narcissist could find value in this.
True.
But what's also true is the fighter pilot flyovers, anthem, and pledge of allegiance. All of them are problematic and should have ended long ago.
Like, I just get tired of people acting like trump came out of nowhere and shit was perfect.
We can't just keep watching the right destroy shit, then settle for a pause in the damage. We need to start fixing shit before there's nothing left to be fixed.
America replaced patriotism with nationalism decades ago, and refusing to address it will make another trump a question of "when" not "if".
Except to piss off your troops. I HATED being in parades to celebrate some general or another retiring. Then there's the potential for heat injuries and troops just passing out from standing so long.
Sounds about right. You really want to honor the troops then how about taking that money and cutting every active and reservist soldier a check?
