Trump’s military parade was pitiful

Trump’s “trumped up” military parade went over like a lead balloon. It was pitiful. Small crowd, no excitement, no grand spectacle. Not much of a birthday present for our nation’s man-child. And it cost us American taxpayers about $45 million.

I want to file a complaint with DOGE — the fake government agency in charge of cutting waste, fraud and abuse from our federal budget. But I can’t find an address for Elon Musk now that he’s fled Washington, D.C. Maybe I should send my complaint to our Republican delegation in Congress. They’ll stand up to Trump, won’t they?
