No parade?
The Pentagon is reporting that trump's military parade is being postponed - maybe if he's still in office it'll be in 2019. trump's been planning this spectacle for over a year! Apparently, the parade was going to go over budget by $80 million. The original estimate put the cost at $12 million. His widdle heart must be broken - no parade to honor himself. Things just aren't going his way!

Re: No parade?
So glad they cancelled the parade....even $ 12 million was too much! He just should pay for it himself...
On Thursday, the Pentagon announced that it was postponing the parade until next year. Earlier in the day, CNBC and ABC News, citing unnamed officials, reported that the cost estimate of the parade -- which was estimated in July to cost approximately $12 million -- had swelled to $92 million.
An administration official told CNN "that the $92 million figure was a planning estimate for an event that would meet Trump's intent, and that about half of that amount is for non-military costs like security, some of which would involve the city of Washington."
A second official said the costs covered by the military were about $50 million.
