For the cost of Trump's #MilitaryParade we could buy a nice tiny home for 14,500 of the 150,000 homeless #veterans in the United States -- or a smaller tiny home for 39,189 homeless vets.

For the cost of Trump's #MilitaryParade he could feed every single homeless #veteran in the United States 3 meals a day for a year.

For the cost of Donald Trump's #MilitaryParade you could buy a @menswearhouse suit for every single homeless #veteran in the United States so they could look nice for job interviews.

For the cost of Trump's #MilitaryParade we could pay for a therapy session every other week for 60,000 #veterans for a year.

Instead of Trump's #MilitaryParade we could pay for 15,000 homeless #veterans to get a certification to be an electrician or a wind power technician, which could help them earn enough to be in the middle class.

For the cost of Trump's #MilitaryParade we could send a care package to all #soldiers stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria every week for 106 years. Seriously.

OR we could send a care package to every single one of the 1.3 million soldiers stationed abroad every week for 2 years (and 1 month) for the cost of Trump's #MilitaryParade

We could even buy a nice pair of @LEVIS for every single homeless #veteran in the United States every year for almost 20 years for the cost of Trump's #MilitaryParade

Or a pair of jeans and a new pair of @Converse sneakers every year for 10 years

The point is, this isn't a game of "Hungry, Hungry, Ego." These are real people who fought for our country who could use someone's help. We could do something that gives them a hand. We COULD. Instead, we'll let Trump drive a tank down Pennsylvania Avenue. #MilitaryParade
