Trump Diverts $2.5 Million From Park Service for His Military Parade

Trump Diverts $2.5 Million From Park Service for His Military Parade: President Trump has decided to divert nearly $2.5 million, which was intended for maintaining our National Parks, to cover the costs of his military parade and Independence Day Speech on the Washington Mall.

Wow, is it just me, or does $2.5 million seem like a helluva lot of money to shell out for a hate speech. Now, I’m certainly no economist, but I always assumed they were a lot cheaper than that.

Meanwhile, anticipating some blowback about that very cost, Administration officials promise this rally will be one of the grandest political gatherings since those "Nuremberg Rallies” - way back the 1930’s. And frankly, I can think of quite a few Republicans who probably feel it’s a damn shame Leni Riefenstahl is no longer around to film it all.

All that aside, however, I do kind of understand this Administration’s thinking in deciding to make the 4th of July a “celebration of Donald Trump,” instead of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I mean, who the hell wants to celebrate a bunch of dead guys signing government paperwork?
