I just registered a Fraud, Waste, and Abuse complaint about trump's parade

It is probably a waste of time, but something has to be done to stop this vanity parade. The $12 million estimated cost can surely be put to use in a better cause... election security, Puerto Rico, education.

Has a date been set?..

I was hoping his "presidency" might be rendered null and void before it came to fruition.

That said, you've done a great thing, since it's important to make a moral statement, even if doesn't immediayely lead to reform.

Bravo to you for this. Keep us posted on it's progess, and if you can think of any way DU can help, let us know.

Yep, lots of things they could do with the money instead.

I just submitted one also, the reason being:


"The Federal Government employee, President Donald J. Trump, is flagrantly and openly misusing over $12M in federal funding for the purpose of conducting a self-centered and narcissistic parade in Washington D.C. which will benefit no-one other than himself and his ego. He is misusing the Department of the Treasury, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency, the General Services Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Veteran Affairs.

These funds could be better spent by reunification of immigrant children, assistance to Puerto Rico and USVI, assistance to flood, fire and hurricane victims, funding for education, health care and assistance to the elderly.

Thank you for your consideration."
