10:36Now PlayingJoin us as we dive into the controversial military parade planned for President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, a lavish event that has sparked significant debate among lawmakers and the public alike. While Trump is eager to celebrate this $50 million affair, which coincides with the 250th anniversary of the Army, many congressional Republicans are opting to skip the festivities.
In a recent survey by Politico, only seven out of 50 GOP lawmakers expressed their intention to attend, raising eyebrows about the event's appeal. Notable absentees include Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, with some lawmakers like Rand Paul openly criticizing the parade as reminiscent of authoritarian regimes.
We'll explore the implications of this low turnout, the reactions from social media, and what this means for Trump's relationship with the Republican Party. With an expected attendance of 200,000 people, the parade will feature a daytime festival, a military display, a concert, and fireworks, but will it truly be a celebration of the Army or just another showcase for Trump?
