A Craigslist advertisement seeking paid "seat fillers" to attend US President Donald Trump's grand military parade in Washington is spreading rapidly online ahead of the June 14, 2025 event. But there is no evidence the listing is aut hentically connected to the Army Birthday Parade;

Trump, who turns 79 on Saturday, said he wants a military parade to show how great the country is. The president first pushed the idea in 2017 after attending the Bastille Day parade and celebration in France, saying he wanted to "try and top it." That effort was canceled after price estimates topped $90 million.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight years after President Donald Trump was dazzled by a grand military parade down the Champs-Élysées in Paris, he is finally getting a chance to try to top the spectacle.

Donald Trump’s military parade will bring heightened security around the White House following the violent rioting in Los Angeles. The parade on Saturday will mark the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army,

The White House attempted to clarify Donald Trump's call for the use of force on "any" protesters who show up at the parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary.

The parade, which is expected to draw 200,000 spectators to the streets of Washington, D.C., celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army but also comes on Trump’s 79th birthday, raising complaints from some that its real purpose is to embellish his strongman image. The Army says the parade will cost up to $45 million.

Protesters of the June 14 Army parade in Washington, D.C., "will be met with very big force," President Donald Trump said on June 10.
