A spokeswoman for Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday ruled out any notion of the District paying for President Trump's proposed military parade, saying that Trump would have to pay for it himself.

Anu Rangappa said that there has not yet been formal outreach to D.C. officials about the proposed parade.

"In the meantime, we do know that just like the wall, he will have to pay for it," she said, referring to Trump's proposed border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Funding requests for that project have hit staunch opposition in Congress.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Pentagon officials, at the behest of Trump, were beginning to plan a military parade in Washington, similar to the Bastille Day parade Trump attended in France last year.

10. MY friend was running across Tan Son Nhut Air Base

during Tet, the Viet Cong and the NVA started firing 120mm rockets, well to make this short and bitter, the only items they found of him was his left foot, part of his dog tag, some parts from his body, not all, but some parts, and no head, the rocket landed squarely on his head and exploded, and this spineless asshole wants to have parade in front of that WALL and mall area -------------------FUCK HIM

8. What the Dotard doesn't realize is that the Bastille Day parade signifies the end of the

French monarchy, whereby French citizens stormed the Bastille, a French prison used to hold political prisoners and weapons. It was the beginning of the end of the French monarchy and their "let them eat cake" attitude. The "let them eat cake" response was "supposedly" said by Queen Marie Antoinette in response to being told that the French peasants had no bread. If the Dotard wants to be king he can find himself an island somewhere to do so. In fact, he should then build himself a big wall around it, paid for by himself, to surround himself and keep him and his family in and the rest of us will gladly stay away.

But Americans fought a war against the British Monarchy, and shed a lot of blood, because we refused to be ruled by Kings and Queens ever again, in the new world. It was called the American Revolution, and we're not going backwards, because the Dotard has a thirst to be revered.

9. Tracked vehicles tend to destroy asphalt.

When I was a teen in the early 60's, the local Army National Guard unit decided to drive around the neighborhood in a tank. That one tank left quite a few digs in the road. Imagine a whole parade.

11. Make him pay -- UP FRONT !!

He can use his re-election campaign funds.

[Blindingly apparent]

12. I personally think the Democrats should get fully behind the military parade and the wall

We could claim that both are so important that we will have to call back some of the tax cuts to pay for it. Make it sound like it is the civic and patriotic duty for the ultrarich to forgo their tax curren make it sound like it is the civic and patriotic duty for the ultrarich to forgo their tax Cut to pay for.

14. Of course it would be totally in character for him to have the parade and then laugh at any attempts

by D.C. to get the federal government to pay for repairing the roads afterwards.

15. That heavy equipment will tear up the streets

maybe he'll get North Korea to pay for it just like he got Mexico to pay for the wall

17. tRump is an ego driven POS who's rarely told NO and wouldn't take NO for answer if he were told....

NO FUCKING PARADE FOR YOUR HUGE FUCKING EGO! BLOCK HEAD.
