Why is the media so angry about this? It just doesn’t make sense.
President Donald Trump is preparing to host a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., this June—and the liberal media is in full meltdown mode.
The parade, set to honor veterans and active-duty heroes while commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, is expected to draw thousands. It will also take place on President Trump’s 79th birthday, a fitting tribute to the Commander-in-Chief who has always prioritized American strength.
Mainstream Media Labels Patriotic Parade “Authoritarian”
Left-leaning outlets like MSNBC, CNN, and ABC wasted no time in attacking the parade.
CNN’s Charles Blow outrageously claimed, “Strong men do that because they want to make their citizens cower,” ignoring the parade’s focus on celebrating service members.
On The View, Whoopi Goldberg dismissed the entire event, saying, “I’m not interested in throwing a parade for you [Trump].”
Conservative Leaders Defend the Celebration of America’s Military
Conservative commentator Scott Jennings pushed back:
“It’s a national parade to show pride in our military—and you’re mad about it?”
Kayleigh McEnany, former Trump press secretary and now a Fox News host, said the backlash is part of a tired pattern:
“The Democratic Party is now just an outrage machine. Americans are fed up.”
Trump: “We’re Celebrating the Best Military on Earth”
Speaking from Mar-a-Lago, President Trump dismissed the price concerns, telling NBC’s Meet the Press:
“The cost is peanuts compared to the value. We’re showing off the best missiles, the best tanks, and the greatest military on Earth.”
Estimates put the event cost between $25 million and $45 million. But the payoff? A much-needed morale boost and a celebration of American power.
Over 6,000 Troops to Participate in the Historic Parade
The event will feature:
- More than 6,000 U.S. service members
- Advanced military vehicles and equipment
- Helicopters, tanks, and tactical displays
- Multiple marching bands and flyovers
American Families and Veterans Deserve This Honor
Fox News host Harris Faulkner emphasized that the true focus should be on service members and their families:
“This will make them feel special, and they deserve that recognition.”
Independent Women’s Forum editor Kaylee McGhee White added:
“If you love this country, you love to see it flex its strength.”
A Parade for Patriots, Not Politicians
Despite liberal outrage, millions of Americans view this military parade as a celebration of national pride, sacrifice, and unity.
It’s not about ego—it’s about honoring those who’ve worn the uniform and reminding the world that the United States remains a beacon of strength, courage, and freedom.
