**Trump Plans Massive Military Parade for Birthday, Sparks Controversy**
Washington D.C. – President Trump is planning a large-scale military parade in Washington D.C. on June 14th, coinciding with his birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s founding. The parade is slated to feature 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, and 50 helicopters.
The announcement has drawn criticism and commentary, particularly from late-night hosts. Stephen Colbert quipped that Trump seeks “overwhelming force” for “his B-Day” and mocked the living conditions prepared for the participating troops, reporting they will be housed in a warehouse with limited amenities. He also pointed out the historical irony of a president who never served in the military hosting such an event.
Colbert also highlighted the costumes, with “Service members will be wearing period uniforms from the Revolutionary War to the present. Yes. It’ll be June in one of the most humid cities in America, and they’ll be dressing them in wool pants.”
The parade plans follow Trump’s return from a trip to the Middle East.
In other news, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made waves during recent congressional testimony when he stated, “I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me” during the debate about measles vaccination. This statement was met with derision by both Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon on their respective late-night shows.
