Colbert Rips Worst Part of Trump B'Day Military Parade Plan [View all]
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.”
