Trump celebrates 79th birthday with a spectacular tank parade in D.C.!

Washington, D.C., USA - The US Army plans an extraordinary anniversary celebration in Washington, i.e. on the occasion of President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. This day of honor falls on June 14, 2025, where a large military parade will take place. On the request of Trump, the event, which also celebrates the 250th anniversary of the US Army, is accompanied by a parade that is based in its splendor on the military parade in Paris, which Trump visited as a guest of honor in 2017, such as ZDF reported.

For this event, up to 6,500 US soldiers, 150 vehicles, including up to 25 M1 Abrams tanks, and 50 aircraft are moved to Washington. The entire celebration should cost up to $ 45 million, with the costs for the elimination of road damage that could be caused by the tanks. This is in particular a concern, since Mayor Muriel Bowser emphasizes that the streets in Washington are not designed for heavy armored vehicles, such as Exxpress

planning and coordination

Preparations for the parade are already in full swing and are coordinated by various ministries and authorities, including the Pentagon and the National Park Administration. The director of domestic politics in the White House, Vince Haley, and the deputy press spokeswoman Anna Kelly have also commented on the plans. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth described the parade as the largest and most beautiful in the history of the United States, and it can be assumed that the event is a special homage to American veterans and active soldiers.

During Trump's first term in office, an attempt was made to organize a similar military parade, but this project was rejected due to the high costs. Well, reinforced by the personal wish of the President, the planning focuses on a solemn and at the same time impressive performance of military strength and history.
