Colbert Rips Worst Part of Trump B'Day Military Parade Plan

[Jilly_in_VA]

Stephen Colbert is not looking forward to Trump’s birthday this year. The late-night host detailed Trump’s plan to have a giant military parade in Washington D.C. to celebrate his 79th birthday, costing taxpayers an estimated minimum of $25 million.

“[Trump]‘s gonna bring a taste of dictatorship back home,” Colbert joked in his Thursday monologue. “He’s throwing a big military parade on his birthday… featuring 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, and 50 helicopters.”

“He wants overwhelming force, because this is more important than D-Day. It is his B-Day,” Colbert joked.

The worst part for Colbert wasn’t just the autocratic vibes, but the conditions the military service members would have to endure on Trump’s behalf.

“Service members will be wearing period uniforms from the Revolutionary War to the present,” Colbert explained. “It’ll be June in one of the most humid cities in America, and they’ll be dressing them in wool pants. It’ll go down as the Battle of Swamp Ass.”

1. Be a damn shame if

20 thousand cars were to visit D.C. that day all around and people couldn't get to the parade.
Damn Shame!

2. I hadn't heard about the period uniforms before.

Dear gawd, these fascists love them some cosplay.

5. Shades of Nixon, when he dressed the WH guards in crazy outfits from another

century. Was a national laughing stock. Recall feeling sorry for the guards.

6. For those who may have missed it . . .

3. His Immenseness

will probably want them to goose step as they pass the reviewing stand.

4. Kegsbreath Hegseth must be creaming his jeans,....

..... in anticipation of his birthday parade party for Dear Fuhrer.

How much damage will the military tanks cause to the streets of Washington DC ? Extra police patrols and extra public works expense to clean up the mess left behind.

The city will be stuck with $5 million dollars of extra expenses so this buffoon of a despot can have his birthday - pin the tail on the donkey - celebration of his birth, while the rest of the world moans.
