Trump Mocked After Cancelling Military Parade: Plan Substitute Parade For Everyone With Bone Spursby Caleb Ecarma | Aug 17th, 2018, 9:34 am
President Donald Trump officially announced the cancellations of plans to host a military parade in Washington, D.C., as the $92 million cost estimate was too high and Twitter was quick to mock him for even dreaming up the outlandish proposition.
-snip-
The $92 million number came from a CNBC report released yesterday, which said the Pentagon required $50 million to fund the parade, while Homeland Security required $42 million.
As for Trumps desire for parades, they began last year after he visited France to meet with Emmanuel Macron and became enamored with the countrys military festivities. Because of what I witnessed, we may do something like that on July 4th in Washington down Pennsylvania [Avenue], Trump tweeted last year. Were thinking of having a really great parade, to show our military strength.
Check out a few of the reactions from pundits, writers, and journalists mocking or criticizing Trump after cancelling his long sought-after parade:

We were never checked for bone spurs. Only for flat feet. Trumps personal doctor thought up that beauty, bone spurs. 😂

If Trump can convince just 10,000 of his voters to show up for the parade, he can charge them admission. Heck, that would be only $92,000 each.
