Trump’s Military Parade Receives Financial Backing From Big Tech
- A grand military parade is scheduled for June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and President Trump's 79th birthday.
- The parade follows the tradition of the 1991 National Victory Celebration and aims to honor military service, though critics question its purpose and costs amid political controversy.
- The event will feature approximately 150 military vehicles, 50 planes, and around 6,000 service members, along with a VIP program for major contributors, all coordinated by America250, a bipartisan nonprofit established in 2019.
- Polls show 64% of Americans disapprove of public spending on the parade, with 88% of Democrats opposing it, while major sponsors include Amazon and Coinbase who support America250’s non-political mission.
- While Meta does not currently sponsor America250, it has a historical relationship and explores future collaboration, reflecting mixed corporate involvement as the parade sparks debate on politicization.
