President Trump’s “Salute to America” celebration on the Fourth of July cost the District of Columbia government $1.7 million, bankrupting the city's fund to protect the capital from terrorist threats and provide security at rallies and
Trump’s 2017 inauguration cost the District of Columbia $27.3 million. 2½ years later, his administration still owes D.C. $7.3 million. So naturally the Narcissist-in-Chief thought it would be an excellent idea to hold an over-the-top self-aggrandizing Independence Day “Salute to America” in D.C., complete with military jets and tanks, which cost at least “six times as much as in years past,” and likely more “as the city continues to tally expenses.”
As a result of the debts that D.C. has incurred due to Trump’s egotism, the city estimates that its Emergency Planning and Security Fund “will be depleted before the end of FY2019, leaving overages of over $6 million.”
