25. Trump says that the cost of the parade would be peanuts compared to the value of doing it.

Question is, will the "value" of trump's narcissistic birthday parade be appreciated by the taxpayers who will be footing the $71 million tab when they can't afford day-to-day necessities for their own families that trump only takes for granted.

It's time for Karma to make its entrance. He wasn't brought up right to know right from wrong; he's strictly a taker who's concerned about only himself. He's mentally ill, & after everything I've seen, I believe more than ever that trump stole this election to get the revenge he could only dream about -- and, apparently, he's willing to step on his own voters to get what he wants. He's ugly inside and out.
