There are all sorts of events planned, and planning began before Trump became president, just like the Army celebrations were planned during the Biden administration. It’s the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the Army and Navy - of course there were going to be lots of celebrations. Yes, Trump will make it about him but it would still have occurred if Harris had one.

Would still have happened but the point today is KRASNOV exploiting it for himself. UTUSN Aug 29 #3

The OP suggested the Navy hadn't planned any celebrations Abnredleg Aug 29 #4

It would have been a proud, amazing day. Now it is a shameful disgrace of a day. Irish_Dem Aug 29 #7
