President Trump Plans To Hold Massive Military Parade In D.C. On His Birthday


President Trump is planning a massive military parade for his birthday on June 14th.

Trump’s birthday just so happens to land on the Army’s 250th anniversary.

The parade is expected to start at the Pentagon in Arlington and stretch to the White House, 4 miles away.

The Army said, “There are plans for a parade that will involve the Army.”

Here’s what Yahoo News reported:

The Trump administration is planning a June 14 military parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., to mark the president’s 79th birthday.

It will also mark the Army’s 250th anniversary. A senior administration official confirmed the plans to NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network.

Washington City Paper first reported on the parade, noting it will stretch almost 4 miles from the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., to the White House.

The White House told Politico Monday night that no parade has been “scheduled.”

An Army official confirmed the parade’s length to The Hill, and said that “there are plans for a parade that will involve the Army,” adding that nothing is yet solidified.

The official noted that the Army had planned to celebrate its 250th anniversary with a “robust capability increase in what you would see in previous years.” Planning began last year and the event has since expanded, with the number of units participating now increased.
