President Donald Trump's military parade this fall is shaping up to cost $80 million more than initially estimated.
The Department of Defense and its interagency partners have updated their perspective cost estimates for the parade, according to a U.S. defense official with firsthand knowledge of the assessment. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The parade, slated for Nov. 10, is estimated to cost $92 million, the official said. The figure includes $50 million from the Pentagon and $42 million from interagency partners such as the Department of Homeland Security. An initial estimate last month pegged the prospective cost for the parade at $12 million.

Anonymous sauces but can we all agree regardless of the cost that this is a terrible idea and a complete waste of money?
ETA:
Maybe Trump felt the heat and is having second thoughts?

Over budget and behind schedule!

I have a club car on the MAGA train, and yes, I think this is stupid.

It’s better than jellyfish sex experiments. And it’ll look great politically when Dems start protesting the parade.

It’s beyond stupid.

Once all of the democratic members of congress are in the same place will we see a terrible accident occur? Is this how Trump's fascist takeover begins?

I still don't understand the point of this.

Stupid. A waste of money. But if I were anywhere near it I’d be rocking the biggest freedom boner on the parade route.

How the hell are they getting those numbers?

maybe, but I question the accuracy of the cost estimate
for example, how much of "salaries of participants" is included
that number sounds inflated

Hopefully there won't be any goose stepping by the troops or any "Sieg heil!" chants ringing through the Autumn air.

Dumb shite. Stupid shite.

now THATS a billion dollar idea

Of all the things we waste money on, I’m not going to complain about something patriotic that’s a drop in the bucket. I mean, people have received public funds to blaspheme God by submersing a crucifix in piss and calling it art.

I don't see how it could cost that much.
If it cost more than 5 million then I say scratch it.

I'm a Trump supporter, but I think the entire military parade idea is a bad one.

There is no point. It's only because of the French and Bastille Day that he even had the idea.
Maybe if we had just won a war or something I could partially be on board but having a parade while we are STILL stuck in the longest US war in history is absurd.
