Chris Cuomo rips Trump's parade: This was never about 'we'

CNN's Chris Cuomo says President Trump's cancelled military parade wasn't intended to be about the US military, but instead about Trump's show of Power.

Why on earth would we have a military parade for a president who dodged the military?! It’s all surreal and disgusting

[cassidysmith]

Maybe use that money for infrastructures. Maybe use that money to provide better security for schools. Maybe better funding for education. Apparently kids are not his concern or priority. Just look at the separation of kids and families at the border.

Any government funding for parades and pageantries is appalling to the taxpayers and the needy! What a waste of money! That 100 mil could have gone towards trying to fix the horrible conditions at VA hospitals....or fund research into treating soldiers with PTSD. The best way to support our troops is to give them something tangible. This entire parade is about Trumps own ego.

[Leonaza]

Now let’s cancel the Wall and while we're at it...cancel his presidency!

[Leonaza]

He brags about being so rich, let him pay for his stupid parade.

Oh man. That is the best.

Vote Trump out of office .

[witzerdog]

While he revokes military clearance from those whose criticize him...

[JoakimKanon]

It’s never his own fault or bad idea. Always somebody to blame. Ego of a child.

The Pentagon said Thursday that it would postpone Trump’s parade indefinitely because of ballooning costs. The Defense Department estimated the cost at $92 million, including $50 million for the Pentagon and $42 million for other government agencies, a Pentagon official told CNBC. The parade had been scheduled to coincide with Veteran’s Day this year.

As always, an eloquent and well constructed statement without the need for abusive language and childish insults. Just wish the president could speak in such a way instead of like a teenage boy with no self esteem

The day Trump and all the corrupt politicians face justice, that will be the day that America can rise out of the ashes and celebrate the birth of a social democratic society and be united in diversity and compassion. A special day to remember. It will be in history books around the world. Doing the right thing is moral standard again.

12 million becomes 92 million??This is why we can't have nice things.

[TheBeaniek]

OH Trump wanted this parade only for himself. Having all these military walk by him and salute to him... Won't happen.. Trump isn't one that we are proud and honestly the sooner he goes the better....

[catwiss]

Make presidency great again 😒not until he is gone 😄

[cynthiahawkins]

Thank you, Chris. We don't need a freaking parade. We need help for our wonderful, brave vets. We need respect for diversity. A hand up for young people. Encouraging one and all to find common ground and work together. Business people, elected officials, blue collar, white collar..or no collar at all!!!

[grahameaton]

Maybe there could be a parade of all the rich white draft dodgers so the veterans could express their 'appreciation'. Obviously Captain Bonespurs would take the lead.

[JD-sdhl]

How about borrowing the Baby Blimp from London and parading that every day until he gets the message?

[alancall]

Fantasy Island Chris don't try to fix a seventy-year-old narcissist draft Dodger that throws his own son under the bus you're not dealing with a normal human
