> The action of having a military parade for the president's birthday is expensive and doesn't benefit us. The funds for the "United States Army 250th Anniversary Parade" were allocated before President Trump was elected, during the Biden debacle. The fact that it falls on June 14th is what is called a "coincidence". Be careful about blindly accepting propaganda as fact.

I would agree with your "coincidence" explanation if it weren't for the consistent pattern of "coincidences" in which Trump does something dictator-like and right-wingers rush to his defense with "coincidence". It's just a coincidence that all of these foreign diplomats invest in his meme coin or some family business and then suddenly are granted meetings with the president! It's just a coincidence that Qatar sends him a luxury airliner and his rhetoric about Qatar does a 180 degree flip! It's just a coincidence that he tried to interfere in a presidential election! It's just a coincidence that he consistently claims Article I and Article III powers for himself! It's just a coincidence that he's rounding up people and sending them to foreign prisons! I've never met someone so unlucky /s

  Are you claiming that the Army anniversary date being on DJT's birthday ISN'T a coincidence? That must take some crazy mental gymnastics... As to your other points, most aren't coincidences, though some aren't real either.

    The date is entirely unimportant. I suppose it's just a coincidence that Trump is following project 2025, step by step, since day one¹. And also a coincidence that many of the people who wrote project 2025 are in the Trump administration²³. It's just a coincidence, but of course trump didn't and doesn't know anything about it.

      > The date is entirely unimportant. The date is exactly what was being discussed. I was responding to the mischaracterization of "a military parade for the president's birthday", which is factually inaccurate. Plus, the plan was made during Biden's term. > I suppose it's just a coincidence that Trump is following project 2025, step by step, since day one He's following Agenda 47, which was published on his campaign website. He stated he agreed with some of Project 2025, but not all of it. It's unsurprising that some involved in writing Project 2025 are working for the Trump admin.

> The funds for the "United States Army 250th Anniversary Parade" were allocated before President Trump was elected, during the Biden debacle. Um: "The Army’s 250th birthday celebration has been in the works for two years, Army officials said. But adding a parade was the Trump White House’s idea, so planning for that began only two months ago."
