    What does DOD think stalling on Trump's dictator parade will do? Do they think staffers will ultimately be able to talk sense into him? Do they think he'll no longer be POTUS for the dictator parade?

        IDK - By that time maybe they're hoping to split the cost with the Russians.

        Good point. If Mexico has to pay for the wall, Putin should have to pay for the dictator parade.

        Sure. But the military in it won't be wearing their uniforms.

        Regardless of the mechanism, I'd put the chance around zero of it happening if dems win the house. he'll either be busted, playing defense, investigations, etc.

        Something tells me the Pentagon is betting that there won't be an active Trump administration by 2019.

        I think it was building into a major election liability. With skyrocketing cost and his insane disparagement of armed forces seeking raises that congress got, an unprecedented 92 million dollar single day event just 5 days from Election Day is a slam dunk target to shoot at.

        The WH just learned today about the cost. I don’t think they’re stalling. I think they’re trying to leave more time to convince Trump this is an idea too stupid for even Trump to push forward.

        Various reports have suggested that if you stall him long enough on something, he forgets about it and moves on.
