Trump defends 'very little' costs of Fourth of July event
By Brett Samuels - 07/03/19 10:46 AM EDT
President Trump on Wednesday defended the cost of his "Salute to America" event on Independence Day amid mounting criticism from Democrats that the spectacle will amount to a campaign rally at taxpayers' expense.
The president claimed the cost of the event "will be very little compared to what it is worth."
"We own the planes, we have the pilots, the airport is right next door (Andrews), all we need is the fuel," Trump tweeted. "We own the tanks and all. Fireworks are donated by two of the greats. Nice!"

Coincidentally as I reead this, I hear Rush Limbo listing previous examples of parades.
"Really Lame Attempt," he calls it.
And speaking for myself, I do not miss this as yet another instance of similarity among democrat, media and #nevertrumpers.
