Market Data 
This isn’t the first time Trump pushed the idea of hosting a military parade in Washington.
Inspired by the military parade on Bastille Day in France, the president said he wanted to host a similar militarized celebration to commemorate the centennial anniversary since the end of World War I in 2018.
However, the plan ended up being scrapped due to logistical issues and skyrocketing costs of about $92 million — up from initial estimates of $12 million.
Rather than acknowledging the military parade’s large-scale scope and costs to repair potential damage to city infrastructure, Trump took to Twitter to blame local politicians for the event’s cancellation.
“When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I canceled it,” Trump wrote on social media at the time.
“Maybe we will do something next year in D.C. when the cost comes WAY DOWN. Now we can buy some more jet fighters!” he added, referring to Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II aircraft.
Bowser, who has been DC’s mayor since 2015, responded to Trump’s remarks, saying that she “finally got thru (sic) to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/demonstrations in Trump America.”
