Republican senator says Trump

Washington – President Donald Trump’s next military parade with dozens of tanks and other armed vehicles in the capital of the nation this week is not right with some members of his party in Capitol Hill.

When asked about the June 14 event, which will cost taxpayers up to $ 45 million and will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the army, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) expressed concern about their cost and the images typically associated with authoritarian regimes in the former Soviet Union and North Korea.

“I love parades, but I’m not really excited about $ 40 million for a parade,” Paul told News themezone. “I really don’t think the symbolism of tanks and missiles really is what we are all.”

“If you ask me about a military parade, all the images that come to mind, the first images, are from the Soviet Union and North Korea,” he added.

Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) Also said he would spend money on other things.

“The United States of America is the most powerful country in human history,” Kennedy told News. “We are a lion, and a lion does not have to tell you that he is a lion. Everyone in the jungle knows it, and we are a lion. He would save the money, but if the president wants to have a parade, he is the president, and I am not.”

Saturday’s parade, which is on the president’s birthday, will have a large number of military teams and thousands of soldiers in Washington, DC, occurs in the midst of national protests against Trump’s immigration offensives and their decision to display military troops to help quell the disturbances in Los Angeles.

Trump threatened on Tuesday who planned to protest the parade, despite the fact that US citizens have the constitutional right to meet peacefully.

“If there is any protest that wants to leave, they will find a great strength, by the way. And for those who want to protest, they will meet a great strength,” the president said from the Oval office.

Millions of people are expected to participate in “no kings” in more than 1,500 cities throughout the country on Saturday, the organizers of the demonstrations said. The effort focuses on rejecting Trump’s attacks on the rule of law. However, “no kings” protests are planned for Washington, DC, where the parade is celebrated.

“In the United States, we do not make kings,” says a website for demonstrations. “Challenge our courts, American deportees, disappeared to the people in the streets, attacked our civil rights and reduced our services. Corruption has also gone. Far.”
