Donald Trump’s $50 million birthday parade, advertised as a military tribute, backfired spectacularly. Amidst claims of patriotism, the event was marred by empty bleachers, silent tanks, and a stark disconnect between the government and its people. What was supposed to be a grand display of military appreciation turned into a symbol of division. And as the ceremony unfolded, former General Mark Milley took the opportunity to break the silence and challenge the narrative, reminding us that the military serves the Constitution, not an individual. #MarkMilley #TrumpBirthdayParade #LIVETV 🔺 DISCLAIMER This channel/video is produced solely for informational, educational, and commentary purposes.

awkward silence told a different story in that silence a soldier decided to speak up on saturday trump had this uh his much anticipated stupid sweet 16 disguised as a tribute to the us army he bone spurred his way out of after all the height and money somewhere around $50 million it was boring it was basically a $50 million version of when a 5-year-old shows you every car in his hot wheels collection the event widely promoted as a military salute perfectly coincided with donald trump's 16th birthday with a near $50 million price tag funded by taxpayer dollars this spectacle was held amid rising inflation and overwhelmed va system and cuts to veterans benefits instead of rallying national pride the parade backfired the bleachers were empty the tanks rolled silently and flags flew without anyone to admire them 1:01 what was supposed to unite became a symbol of the growing divide between the government and its people or as trump would say there were record setting crowds bleachers you could see were mostly empty the crowds were sparse there was not a whole lot of cheering for the the tanks and military vehicles this tank was very squeaky this hank this one could have used some of diddy's baby oil to get it going a little bit and that is a what was broadcast on tv didn't match the white house's claims the real images told the truth the crowd didn't exist there was no applause and no one stood waiting for the tanks this wasn't just a failed ceremony it was a disconnect and while the media struggled to explain in the empty space one person could no longer stay silent someone who had once sat in the very oval office someone not speaking for politics but out of duty the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark millie said 2:00 'no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than donald trump and he is a fascist to his core he is the most dangerous person ever i had suspicions when i talked to you about his mental decline and so forth but now i realize he's a total fascist he is the most dangerous person to this country a fascist to the core.' millie repeated to me 'i will never forget the intensity of his worry.' general mark millie the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff broke military tradition by making an unprecedented statement calling the former president the greatest threat the country had ever faced this wasn't a personal comment it was a strategic assessment from someone who once controlled the full power of the us military what millie did wasn't just opposition he marked a boundary the military doesn't serve the president they serve the constitution we don't take an oath to a country we don't take an oath to a tribe we don't take an oath to a religion we don't take an oath to a king 3:00 or a queen or to a tyrant or a dictator and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator we don't take an oath to an individual we take an oath to the constitution and we take an oath to the idea that it's america and we're willing to die to protect it milliey's words were a clear statement loyalty is not for individuals while trump created military rituals those who had served under him had to speak out to affirm the obvious that loyalty has limits and those limits are the law not blind allegiance but while millie reiterated the soldiers oath on the streets the military music played armored vehicles paraded by and the budget burned for personal rituals the gap between image and substance grew wider and it didn't stop with the generals and if you go to any of the big no kings rallies on sunday uh saturday rather make sure to stop by the antifa accounting table to pick up your check you will be paid and the sick individual who's making this happen is busy planning his big birthday parade or as 4:00 i'm calling it fart trump is having a parade tomorrow he claims the parade which will cost american taxpayers somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million is meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army and who better to lead that celebration than a felon who dodged the draft by getting a note from his father's podiatrist amid the emphasis on honoring the military there stood the image of a man who had never served who had used his father's doctor's note to avoid military duty this irony couldn't be hidden and it was the reason so many generals stepped out of their traditional safe zones to oppose it general steven anderson made it clear 'we don't show our values through parades we show them through action.' a simple statement but enough to discredit the entire purpose of the event donald trump has stolen this money essentially taken it and used it under priority so i think that it was what happened yesterday although wonderful to watch and behold and great to see soldiers do well it was a it was a colossal waste of time money and effort 5:00 when the military budget meant for barracks child care centers and welfare programs was diverted to stage a birthday celebration the concept of honor was distorted soldiers became props tanks became propaganda tools and the public who was supposed to be served became an unwitting audience or rather a non-existent one this wasn't just a spending blunder it was a perfect example of power being theatrically displayed turning the most sacred into a personal stage the much much larger crowds for the groups of americans gathered to protest trump and his new ass inflator immigration policies more than 5 million people showed up all over the country including in philadelphia there were huge crowds in st louis there were 200,000 people in the city of new york that's san diego 60,000 strong thou bo boise idaho had a huge protest and then in los angeles we had 200,000 6:02 people in downtown la alone many more in other spots when the government spends tens of millions to stage a military ceremony aimed at bolstering its leadership image the people don't respond with cheers or online arguments they respond with action over 5 million people took to the streets from washington to new york from st louis to boise not to protest a birthday but to make it clear that a boundary is being crossed they weren't protesting because of an individual they were marching for a principle they weren't holding partisan flags on their signs were words sharp as a blade he's not our king no loudspeakers no drums no flares just footsteps steady silent but resolute like an unexpected rehearsal for citizens vigilance none of them were paid to be there there was no director no one needed to call them they showed up as a reflex when they sensed the scent of power exceeding constitutional 7:00 limits what they opposed wasn't the man but the system a system in which the military no longer belongs to the people but becomes a theatrical prop a system where the law is no longer a standard but just a suggestion a system where patriotism is redefined not by quiet service but by tanks flags and symbolic displays it was the moment when the american people stopped waiting for congress to speak up and stopped trusting the explanations coming from the microphones in the press room they stepped outside to reclaim center stage the place where real power is granted and where it needs to be controlled and that's what made that military ceremony meant to display strength and celebrate into a turning point it was no longer just a media highlight it became a catalyst from a parade of tanks it sparked millions of footsteps from the empty bleachers it ignited a citizen 8:00 movement and from a carefully scripted celebration it became the starting point for a question that america can no longer avoid if we continue to accept power built on image ceremony and budget how much of the democracy our forefathers left behind will remain no one answers right away but one thing is certain silence is no longer an option and in that moment as the armored vehicles rolled by and the citizens footsteps echoed on the pavement one thing became clearer than any speech democracy doesn't die because of a parade it dies when no one stands up to respond steven miller isn't just the most extreme thinker within donald trump's inner circle he's also the most tension-filled figure to the point where even allies started to tread lightly around him and now trump isn't even trying to hide it anymore an internal report reveals he referred to miller as weird steven a nickname that points to something deeper the relationship 9:00 between them is starting to crack from its core steven miller isn't just the most extreme thinker in donald trump's inner circle he's also the most controversial figure to the point where even his allies have started to tread lightly around him and now trump isn't even trying to hide it anymore an internal report revealed that trump called miller weird steven a nickname that hints at something deeper their relationship is cracking at its core steven miller was the architect behind the policies that donald trump couldn't openly endorse from large-scale deportations to controversial detention centers miller turned immigration into a political tool at the heart of trump's administration but now miller's presence has become a liability to trump's image something trump is desperately trying to distance himself from i don't believe this split is about morality it's about fear the fear that miller's image is no longer creating consensus but instead 10:01 reminding people of an era seen as extreme ruthless and politically unstable the weird steven nickname isn't just a personal jab it's a strategic boycott a way for trump to sever ties with his own past but to understand why miller once considered untouchable is now being pushed aside we have to look at the very power tool he built immigration policy sometimes what causes an alliance to collapse isn't outside opposition but the internal reality that can no longer hold up because you know let's just do a little playbyplay on thursday what happened to me happened to me come friday there was an announcement that the president was directing dhs to let up on enforcement in hotels and agricultural fields and restaurants and we thought oh maybe there's a glimmer here maybe there's a baby step in the right direction oh by friday that was all gone like no no no no not only are we restoring that we're doubling down in blue cities is what he said so the the 11:02 clear partisan political attack donald trump once saw immigration as his ace in the hole a strategy that could both rile up the crowd and portray him as a tough leader but he got one thing wrong america can't run on slogans alone under steven miller's influence immigration policy became a comprehensive control mechanism from pressuring the department of justice to increase the number of people detained in the system to expanding facilities for unaccompanied minors all of it was aimed at maintaining a coercive image as a core political message when agricultural states started lacking labor when restaurants had to shut down because no one was washing dishes trump couldn't ignore it loosening controls in key sectors wasn't about him waking up to moral reasons it was because he was losing his economic support base this is something the original narrative doesn't clarify trump didn't abandon the policy he was restructuring it to serve 12:00 immediate needs as for miller he didn't change direction he pushed ice to ramp up and from there the conflict didn't lie in the policy itself but in the level of pragmatism miller saw flexibility as betrayal trump saw stubbornness as a risk of failure immigration policy didn't collapse because of opposition it collapsed because it ran into its own limits it was unsustainable in a country that still relies on immigrant labor to maintain fields meals and election seasons and when the immigration strategy began to fail from the inside trump and miller didn't just clash over border control they clashed over how to control america itself because if immigration policy was once a tool to suppress the outside now they were looking for a new tool to suppress the inside the military and that's when all boundaries started being pushed further than ever before i mean that's exactly the rhetoric that compelled me to speak uh at the press conference last week not just as a senator but as an american uh 13:08 number one number two when when they suggested that the mission of the military was to go and and do the liberty that is not what marines are trained to do that is not what they're they can fight wars overseas but you don't use them against your own people when a us senator has to publicly remind everyone that the military shouldn't be used to suppress civilians it means we've gone too far this is no longer just a policy disagreement it's a fundamental issue the line between protecting the nation and using power to maintain personal control has been blurred i used to think that images of military vehicles rolling through cities only appeared in politically unstable countries but then i saw the marines deployed to los angeles not to provide disaster relief not to protect critical infrastructure but to stabilize areas with protests 14:01 steven miller was the one who proposed this idea in internal memos he suggested invoking the insurrection act to deploy the military into democratic run cities a dangerous strategy not only because it goes beyond constitutional authority but because it spreads fear as a political tool and trump didn't reject it in fact he publicly talked about liberating cities using military language like occupation soft martial law and protecting at all costs i don't deny that us cities are facing challenges but using the military to address social unrest is never a sustainable solution it only deepens the divide between government and people between law and emotion but it wasn't just armed power being abused to maintain an image of control even budget numbers which should be impersonal and neutral were twisted to serve the same goal protecting the wealthy minority while the rest of the country is left behind 15:00 and the consequences don't show up on charts they show up in unpaid hospital bills in clinics slowly closing their doors less that you're normally keeping in your pockets but you don't have this crazy random health care bill right probably so right like and and the reality is that people are going to die you know listening to the stories of people that literally have only been able to live because of medicaid it's heartbreaking and the fact that we're talking about rich people just keeping more money in their pockets while literally other people are going to die one thing the trump administration excelled at was using numbers to paint a rosy picture even when the foundation underneath was crumbling they talked about growth tax cuts and budget balancing but no one asked what's the real cost and who's paying for it i once heard a republican senator on tv say we need fiscal discipline but in missouri i met a doctor at a community clinic who said that if they had to cut another 5% from 16:00 their budget their facility would have to shut down they're not wasteful they're not political they're just keeping patients alive week by week what's important here is this the cruelty isn't just in policies or speeches anymore it's hidden in spreadsheets where medicaid is slashed but tax breaks for energy companies remain intact this policy doesn't openly declare who gets to live and who gets left behind but its consequences speak very clearly we're living in a country where survival is determined by your ability to pay a bill a country where a life can be valued less than a $5 tax cut and that's the dark side of the concept of reboling spending something this administration uses as a moral cloak in reality it's not about adjusting the budget it's about redistributing harm shifting pressure from the powerful to those with no voice caroline levit turned the white house press conference into a fiery 17:00 controversy when the truth couldn't be defended levitt resorted to the familiar tactic of blaming others making the situation even more chaotic during the press conference caroline levitt strongly defended defense secretary pete hgsth despite reports revealing that he shared classified war plans through the signal app with his family the president stands strongly behind secretary hegsth in the change that he is bringing to the pentagon and the results that he's uh achieved thus far speak for themselves you might be wondering how could a defense secretary leak classified information via text but instead of taking responsibility levitt immediately blamed pentagon staff calling them saboturs who were intentionally trying to undermine the administration they were pentagon employees who leaked against their boss to uh news agencies in this room and it's been clear since day one from this administration that we are not going to tolerate individuals who leak to the mainstream media particularly when it comes u to sensitive information at first glance 18:02 this might sound like something out of an action movie when the protagonist faces a tough situation they never take the blame but instead blame the bad guys in reality this is an old tactic that trump often uses when trouble arises just blame those without the power to push back after defending hegathth leave it shifted gears to criticize jerome powell and the federal reserve fed the president has the right to express express his displeasure with the fed and i also spoke to kevin hassid about the fed as well and he has called into question the fed's independence and whether they are actually doing things again out of the best interest of the economy or are they doing it for for partisan reasons uh the president believes that they have been making uh moves and and taking action in the name of politics rather in the name of what's right for the american economy you might not be surprised to hear this blame being thrown around when the economy isn't heading in the right direction 19:01 it's easier to find a scapegoat than admit mistakes it's almost as if if the economy were a car trump would blame the mechanic for poor maintenance forgetting that he himself had taken off all the wheels i think uh most people around the world recognize the united states of america is a great place to do business it's a beautiful place to visit uh and they should certainly come here because it's a much safer country than it was four years ago under the previous president at this point leit continued to deny the reality when the department of commerce reported a significant drop in international tourism to the us despite other countries warning their citizens about the dangers of traveling to america leave it insisted that the us is now safer than it was four years ago when questioned about travel warnings from countries like canada europe and new zealand leave it ignored the actual data and instead tried to paint a rosy picture of america under trump even though reports from goldman sachs 20:00 predicted that the decline in tourism would cost the us economy $90 billion leit chose to overlook these figures in order to keep up the narrative of the nation's prosperity well we certainly welcome uh diverse viewpoints in this room which is one of the reasons we have you in here and there's many new faces in this room in comparison to the previous administrations uh we want to welcome all viewpoints into this room we welcome um unbiased journalists who really care about the truth and the facts and the accuracy so thank you for being here tim it's great to see you thank you and now for the most interesting part levit proudly boasting about inviting tim p a right-wing influencer into the press room and calling it diversity levit certainly couldn't be prouder claiming that inviting a trump supporter into the press room was a true reflection of diversity bringing tim p in was nothing more than the white house's attempt to mislead the public about the diversity of opinions being welcomed for levit it seems diversity simply means same 21:01 opinion and anyone who disagrees is left on the outside looking in finally throughout the press conference levit displayed an aggressive attitude challenging reporters and avoiding direct answers to questions about the scandals and controversies she focused on attacking those who criticized the administration and use cultural war issues as a distraction tactic when faced with tough questions levit had no hesitation in changing the subject shifting the focus away from important matters this is a very familiar tactic when you can't answer the question directly make everyone forget about it by bringing up something else this is also the communication style employed by the trump administration not answering questions headon but using smoke and mirrors to conceal the truth well if you go back a little bit lawrence remember the during the first trump administration everybody said that trump's tariffs were going to be inflationary back then what actually happened i think it's useful for all of us to step back and ask us ask ourselves what has the globalist economy gotten 22:00 the united states of america and the answer is fundamentally it's based on two principles incurring a huge amount of debt to buy things that other countries make for us and to make it a little bit more crystal clear we borrow money from chinese peasants to buy the things those chinese peasants manufacture with every decision trump makes we get the opportunity to witness his strategic moves and this time is no different it's a political drama trump claims that his tariffs won't cause inflation but this is something that brings tears of laughter the policies that are disrupting the economy are now being dumped on jd vance no one else but vance has to step up and defend these tax policies that everyone knows will cause chaos honestly vance now looks like a hero with no choice but to stand as the face of an impending economic disaster and to see how trump prepares for this battle let's continue 23:00 with the next detail from the video there are some terrible people being met with awful news themselves and that includes those in the trump administration specifically j d vance who got what i might consider almost careerending news from donald trump today with a new announcement that has thrown him under the bus in the most delicious way so if you have been upset with how bad the news has been be excited because jd just got some himself it's really hard not to laugh when we watch trump redraw the political map in a way only he can jd vance once considered trump's right-hand man has now become the target of a grand political play he has no control over trump continues to play the raise and lower game with vance pushing him into the most difficult situation he could imagine vance now looks like a sheep being herded into a pen completely 24:00 powerless to what's about to happen according to new reports the trump administration is considering forming a task force to look into the potential impact of the tariffs that they have put on china and of course the tariffs that china has put on us in other words donald trump wants to make sure that any of the ramifications of his trade war fall on somebody else and that somebody else according to these reports is going to be jd vance no need to say more we again witnessed trump's delicate maneuvering that's almost unimaginable although he was the one who initiated the trade war when things started spiraling out of control he pushed jd vance into this battle like a knight defending trump's policies vance is now not only shouldering the responsibility but must also explain why trump's decisions could lead to disaster for the us economy this political tactic is 25:02 nothing short of a joke with trump comfortably sitting from afar while vance has to take the heat a single shipyard in china now produces more ships every year than all of the american shipyards combined think of that and it was a business that we used to dominate we used to dominate it totally in short chronic trade deficits are no longer merely an economic problem they're a national emergency that threatens our security and our very way of life it's a very great threat to our country and for these reasons starting tomorrow the united states will implement reciprocal tariffs on other nations oh surely vance never imagined that he would have to bear the consequences of such decisions the tariffs trump imposed are not only hurting us businesses but also forcing vance to defend a troublesome policy that even trump won't take responsibility for given the task of 26:00 defending a disastrous tariff policy what can vance do to avoid becoming the bad face in the eyes of the public after receiving this perfect gift from trump let's see what vance does next but we will charge them approximately half of what they are and have been charging us so the tariffs will be not a full reciprocal i could have done that with the skill of a master politician trump has turned a bad decision into a comedic spectacle vance now has to do more than just explain this tariff policy he must defend the theory behind it in front of the public this really makes us laugh as vance becomes the defender of a policy that could collapse the us economy how will he explain to voters that this is a brilliant strategy
