Ya, the military is just going to take money from whatever or whomever to prep the site, muster up,.move resources from all sorts of locations, find a place to billet those resources for a week and a half, hold a parade, then move everything back to where it came from and replace the parade route to its original state?
Looking at close to $400 million. That's not chump change, you'll need a consortium of billionaires to pay for it out of pocket.

Nothing comes out of his mouth that I believe. Since US taxpayers pay for the military show us the proof this parade is privately financed, If it was I am sure the Orange Foolious received a kickback from them because he never does anything unless it benefits him professionally
