This military parade that he's having is outrageous.

Its the absolute proof that we are living in a fascist dictatorship. And we're going to pay for this spectacle.
I am horrified.

With June 14 fast approaching, President Trump's proposed military parade is yet to be finalized, but permit applications give us a glimpse into the spectacle that's expected to cost tens of millions of dollars. Why it matters: The event would be on the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and Trump's 79th birthday — achieving his long-held desire to march a parade of soldiers through the capital.

Here's what we know: The military procession would begin at 6pm at the Pentagon's north parking lot and go over the Memorial Bridge, according to a National Park Service permit application released to Axios. Continuing on Constitution Avenue, the Army's Golden Knights will parachute down to the Ellipse, and a flyover will take place, per the application. The parade ends at 15th Street.

About 6,600 soldiers, 150 military vehicles, and 50 helicopters are part of the plans developed by the Army, the Associated Press recently reported. The Washington Monument grounds will welcome crowds and have facilities for food, water, and restrooms. The Ellipse will have a presidential review stand, bleachers, and a concert stage, the NPS application says.

Set to begin at 8pm, the "concert will consist of 5-7 musical acts" with "well-known performers" who are "likely from the country music world," per the application. A fireworks display would occur at 9:45pm. But there's about five weeks to go. Consider that it takes about four months for the presidential inauguration platform to be built at the U.S. Capitol.

All that money for a self-glorifying clown show.
