Trump planning military parade through DC for 79th birthday
The Trump administration is planning a June 14 military parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., to mark the president’s 79th birthday.
It will also mark the Army’s 250th anniversary. A senior administration official confirmed the plans to NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network.
Washington City Paper first reported on the parade, noting it will stretch almost 4 miles from the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., to the White House.
An Army official confirmed the parade’s length to The Hill, and said that “there are plans for a parade that will involve the Army,” adding that nothing is yet solidified.
The official noted that the Army had planned to celebrate its 250th anniversary with a “robust capability increase in what you would see in previous years.” Planning began last year and the event has since expanded, with the number of units participating now increased.
They also said Washington’s local government has been involved in the planning, with engineers in both the Army and city doing “route reconnaissance.”
Washington officials also complained that heavy military equipment such as tanks would damage the city’s roads and cost the city millions of dollars for public safety.
The Pentagon has not released details of the newly planned parade, though it could likely be carried out by Army command, which is in charge of major occurrences including state funerals for former presidents and inaugurations.
The Defense Department could use its training budget to pay for flyovers and use vehicles from nearby bases, but the event would also require outside costs such as pay for Secret Service and police, and the renting and construction of stands and barriers.
The timeline for planning is also tight, given that June 14, Trump’s birthday, is less than 10 weeks away.

For the people who claim the courts will save us from trump
Hopefully it's only a 3 day pause and not indefinitely, this should be a easy decision by the court. We in dark timesChief Justice already gave him permission and immunity if he decides to kill a few Supreme Court Justices. Being sent to a foreign prison without due process is probably preferable to a firing squad
