Donald Trump is about to fulfill one of his long-held dreams, in the image of some of his greatest dictator heroes.
One of his dreams
Trump, who has been dreaming of a military parade since his first term, will likely be thrilled to see that the celebrations for the 250th anniversary have been expanded.
The celebrations
It seems he is taking over the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the US Army with a huge military parade, which would also coincide with his birthday, June 14.
79th birthday
According to Washington CityPaper, which was the first to report the information, and Fortune, Trump wants to celebrate his 79th birthday with a huge military parade in Washington.
From The Pentagon to the White House
According to some sources, including an Army official interviewed by The Hill, the parade would stretch from The Pentagon to the White House.
In preparation
Celebrations were already in preparation to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army, founded on June 14, 1775, a date that coincides with the president's anniversary.
His first term
However, Trump, who has been dreaming of a military parade since his first term, is probably delighted now that the celebrations for the 250th anniversary have been expanded, with an increased number of participating units.
92 million dollars
10 weeks from the event, this has led to an explosion of the cost of celebrations, now estimated at 92 million dollars.
The Americans
According to The Hill, the Army spokesperson, Colonel Dave Butler, stated that the purpose of these national celebrations is: «for Americans to be proud of their Army and their nation».
About him
However, many are wondering if Donald Trump will be able to guide them in such a way that they are not focused on that, but rather on himself.
