I had some Dems on another website tell me that this is different because it's the 4th of July. Like their real gripe isn't just because it's Trump doing it. I see little to no difference than having this in an inaugural parade or the 4th of July. It actually makes more sense for the 4th of July as it symbolizes the way the U.S. fought for freedom from the British, but I still think it's a waste of money and resources no matter if the other presidents did it or Trump does it. It also sends the wrong message, especially now when the U.S. is hellbent on resource wars and imperialism.

Oh and they said it was me "defending Trump" even after I said it was a waste of money and resources and sent the wrong message and also that it was to please Trump's ego. Yep, defending Trump.

@Allamanda I don't understand the motive behind your question in reply to my post, but to answer, probably. He's a jackass.

@Allamanda I'm sure he would mention it in passing during a speech.
