Trump to kick off 100th Veterans Day parade in NYC on Monday

President Trump will be the first president to kick off New York City’s Veterans Day Parade, the White House announced Wednesday.

Trump will address the 100th Annual Opening Ceremony of the parade on Monday and then will lay a wreath at the Eternal Light Memorial at Madison Square Park.

As a private citizen, Trump stepped up to raise or donate large sums of money when the parade was struggling. The New York Times reported that in 1995 Trump agreed to give $200,000 and wanted to be named parade grand marshal in return, though it appears he never held that honor.



The 100th annual tribute parade is hosted by the United War Veterans Council. The president of the United States is traditionally invited to attend the annual event, but Trump is believed to be the only one to personally accept.


Trump’s visit will be the first time in more than a decade a president spent Veterans Day in the Big Apple. In 2008, President Bush commemorated Veterans Day in New York City on the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. And in 2001 — two months after the 9/11 attacks — Bush spoke at a Veterans Day prayer breakfast in New York and attended a somber ceremony at Ground Zero.

But often presidents honor Veterans Day by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

Trump caught heat last year for staying in the White House and making calls on Veterans Day instead of heading to Arlington. “I should have done that,” Trump told Fox News Sunday in a moment of regret.

Trump spent his first Veterans Day as president overseas in Vietnam in 2017 where he met with veterans there.

1. I hope there are massive protests to greet him.

2. I want proof he ever donated ANYTHING.

Only mention of a figure donated was when he tried another quid pro quo - I'll give you 200k IF I get to be grand marshal. Didn't happen so I'm guessing no donation.

3. Draft-Dodger Trump ...

Draft-Dodger Trump likes military parades.

He'll give his usual whiny speech full of lies.

8. Not sure why all these public appearances after three years hiding behind MAGAts

But the guy got fucking booed by a MMA crowd so I don’t think this will go well for him either lol. Whoever is advising him on this will be fired in a week.
