Trump defends the high price tag for his military parade: 'Peanuts compared to the value' In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ β€œMeet the Press,” Trump also outlined a White House renovation he hopes to carry out β€” which he said he will pay for himself.

President Trump plans to commemorate Flag Day, which also happens to fall on his birthday, with a β€œbig, beautiful” military parade in Washington, D.C

Defense officials say the estimated cost could be as high as $45 million.

Trump says it would be worth it.

I think you're confusing crispy with spicy.

Why stop at food?! Nice is a boring adjective and overused everywhere.

I'm replacing all uses of "nice" with "crispy".

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

The CDK Book The CDK Book - A Comprehensive Guide to the AWS Cloud Development Kit

Super-useful hint I learned from The CDK Book. When using CDK with TypeScript, always run with "npx cdk synth" to use the version of CDK from your project, rather than defaulting to your global CDK.

He tanks the stock market, and he and his rich buddies buy low…

Then he pauses the tariffs, and stocks rise…

He and his rich buddies sell high.

Rinse and Repeat…over, and over again.

It isn’t Rocket Science…

It’s actually criminal.

The hard truth is that there are some products you just can't make in America. These must be imported from elsewhere. Like chocolates, for example. American workers will always become overwhelmed by the speed of the conveyor belt. They'll end up shoving the sweets into their mouths and blouses
