For the first time since 1991, a great military parade is held this Saturday, June 14 in Washington, in the United States. It is officially that the Trump administration celebrated with dignity the 250th anniversary of the country’s army, but also the 79 years of the US president who fell the same day.
Donald Trump decided to put the little dishes in the big ones. “We are going to show off a little,” said the White House tenant. And in fact, almost 7,000 soldiers and 150 military vehicles will parade in the heart of the Federal Capital when fifty planes will fly in the sky.
This parade will have a significant cost: between the parade itself, security measures will be implemented or even suspended commercial flights, the US army estimates that it will cost not less than $ 45 million to US taxpayers.
“Misery”
For Donald Trump, these are “clopinettes” given the importance of the event. But for some, it is a new illustration of the president’s authoritarian turn. In addition, the manifestations organized by the “No Reyes” movement (not kings) will also take place to denounce what is perceived as a militarization of the United States, especially after the deployment of forces in California.
“Have a birthday cake and blow some candles. Do not close the capital and do not display 60 tonos tonos in the streets,” said Bernie Sanders, he heard a Democratic senator.
“You cut many programs, but you will spend a lot of money to organize a parade. This man [Donald Trump] He is selfish. He doesn’t care about anyone but him, “a veteran of the Vietnam War also told AFP.” The day of his birthday, that is what the fascists do, “he said.
“If there are demonstrations, it will be responded with great force,” said Donald Trump on Tuesday. “The president is, of course, favorable to peaceful demonstrations,” added the White House spokesman.
