Military parades cost whatever they cost, they are all about the same cost in then-year dollars.

They serve an important purpose: to show the world US military might, without having to engage in actual shooting war, so they may save money and lives in the long run.

Gulf War Victory Parade in 1991 cost $12m, adjusting for inflation that would be 22m in 2018. The WAPO came up with the figure of 92m - pulled out of their magic hat.

The subversives in the gov't/media complex can not afford to have Trump's approval rating go any higher, which would likely happen after such a patriotic display of our military power.

The parade after the 1991 gulf war cost an estimated 8 million...yet, 5 million of that came from private sources. Trump could do the same, perhaps better, from private donors.
