“If the parade had been canceled purely for fiscal reasons, I imagine I would have been in the room when that was made and I wasn’t,” Mulvaney (pictured above) told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace. “So my guess is there were other contributing factors.”
Trump initially wanted to hold a Veterans Day military parade in D.C. But anonymous officials told CNBC and ABC News Thursday that the parade would cost an estimated $92 million — much more than the initial $12 million estimate.
Approximately $50 million would be needed to fund the military personnel and equipment costs while $42 million would be required to cover security costs and the costs D.C. would accrue.
The president took to Twitter Friday to rip District officials.
“The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it. When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up!” Trump tweeted.
