PARADE: Now we can celebrate

| August 24, 2018 1:00 AM

The taxpayers won one! The cancellation of the military parade in Washington, D.C., is a victory for the U.S. taxpayers.

Unlike North Korea, China and the former Soviet Union — countries that needed military parades to be great — America is great without a military parade.

Whether it would have cost $100 or $92 million, by not spending money on something we don’t need, we taxpayers get a break.

Thank you President Trump.
