PARADE PETTY CASH

Lest the American public thinks that the $2.5 million, diverted from the National Park budget, is the sum total of the cost of Trump's 4th of July parade, it is just the Petty Cash.  The big-ticket items are such things as tanks and aircraft mobilizations and tank operations as well as manpower costs all of which come out of the Defense Department budget, and which, of course, will have to be repaid out of the taxes to which the Trump family and friends are reluctant to contribute to.
