$Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ πŸš¨πŸŽ―πŸ—žοΈ Trump’s $40M Parade or $DJT Pump? The Birthday That Cost America Millions πŸ—žοΈπŸŽ―πŸš¨

This weekend’s parade is not just an over-the-top birthday bash. It’s a convergence of market speculation, political theatre, and taxpayer outrage, and the shockwaves may ripple through Trump-linked equities like $DJT.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ The United States is commemorating 250 years of the Army with a full military showcase in Washington, D.C. But conveniently, or strategically, it also happens to fall on Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. That coincidence has lit up headlines, balance sheets, and partisan commentary from every angle.

πŸ“ Here’s What’s Really Happening on 14June25, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ NZ Time Context

The parade will roll down Constitution Avenue, with 6,700 troops, 150 military vehicles including M1 Abrams tanks, and 50 aircraft flying overhead. It’s pegged between $40M and $90M depending on which source you ask, and yes, it’s being billed to taxpayers.

Fox News plans full coverage. CNN and MSNBC? Just β€œlive look-ins.” ABC, CBS, and NBC aren’t touching it. Major networks are steering clear of what many are calling a β€œvanity event.”

πŸ“‰ The Political Backlash, and Wall Street Implications

Senator Tammy Duckworth didn’t mince words:

β€œIf it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance, and tuition… But it isn’t. Trump is throwing himself a $30 million birthday parade just to stroke his own ego.”

Bernie G. Thompson was even more scathing:

β€œ$62M joke. $46M for the show, $16M in street damage. Meanwhile, he’s profiting off Bitcoin, sneakers, MAGA merch, and even asking Qatar for a $400M jet. This isn’t patriotism, it’s profiteering.”

Congressman Steve Cohen went a step further and introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act, a satirical bill aiming to block taxpayer funds for any future presidential birthday parades.

β€œNot one Republican signed on. They’re either fine with it, or too scared to tell a man-child β€˜no.’”

And Trump? He fired back warning that β€œanybody who protests the parade will be met with very heavy force.” A chilling quote that stunned constitutional scholars. If this were a stock disclosure, it’d trigger SEC scrutiny.

πŸ“Š Now, Let’s Talk $DJT, Will the Birthday Bash Move the Tape?

$DJT (Trump Media & Technology Group) is trading at $19.54, barely budging post-market. The ticker historically moves on Trump-related spectacle, but this time, the setup is trickier.

There’s an emotional impulse trade brewing among MAGA loyalists, but here’s what they’re overlooking:

   β€’   Valuation still detached from reality: Revenues hover around $770K, while market cap flirts with $6B

   β€’   High short interest remains sticky: Last reported above 18 percent, any bump from the parade could become a shorting opportunity

   β€’   Options flow muted: Unlike AI stocks or crypto plays, there’s little institutional call activity backing this event

We’ve entered meme-territory again, but with fewer buyers and a lot more baggage.

⚠️ Event Psychology: Show of Strength or Signal of Fragility?

This parade isn’t just costly, it’s politically isolating. The refusal of mainstream media to cover it, combined with rising bipartisan criticism, makes this feel more like a last-stand performance than a wave-making rally.

And yet, it might still spike $DJT short-term. Why? Because price action doesn’t always track logic, it tracks liquidity and emotion. That said, emotion is fleeting. Reality isn’t.

πŸ’¬ My Take:

Would I trade $DJT around this? Only as a sentiment fade.

If it breaks above $20.50 on volume, I’d look to short into that strength, targeting a fade back to $18.70 unless backed by sustained retail flow. Otherwise, I’ll wait for the dust to settle, parades end, gravity doesn’t.

Trump Phone? What Might Be Trump's Next IP Product?
Companies such as Oracle, Amazon, Coinbase, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir are key sponsors of the nonprofit organization designated by Congress to raise funds for the United States' 250th anniversary celebration. It's the first time enterprises sponsoring military parade. How do you view the advertisement during the parade? How will the businessman Trump shape the politics? Will you invest in these stocks?

    Perhaps President Trump has another reason why he is investing 40 million in this parade. Maybe he thinks that the parade is good value for money in order to remind the world about the scale and Capability of US military assets.

    I also think he somewhat plays up to his reputation of having his "cheese sliding of his cracker" as he knows this gives his political opposition and the media something to agonise over.

    What he does know is how to talk directly to the working class. I think that photo of him in the dumpster truck with a high viz vest on probably won him the White House last year. I think he is a master of theatre, and modern politics is about theatrics.

    🀩🌟✨ This was seriously sharp. I’m really curious to see how $DJT reacts when the market opens after the weekend. You laid out the sentiment and short setup so clearly, I’ll definitely be watching it more closely now. Appreciate the insight, BC! πŸ’•πŸ€©πŸŒŸ

    at least the us troops are parading through Washington and not Iran.  I'd rather have them parade in USA than invading a foreign country.   and have the parade run across the USA-Mexico border so they can patrol the border at the same time.

      A parade on home soil is preferable to foreign conflict, but intent matters. When symbolism overlaps with political spectacle and civil unrest, the message becomes conflicted. Markets respond not just to events, but to how power is perceived and projected.

      πŸ€“ Always appreciate your take. Watching this from here in NZ, it’s hard not to be struck by the contrast between the spectacle and the actual cost. It looked like theatre on the surface, but the underlying $DJT flow revealed something deeper. Thanks for spotting it and keeping the convo sharp.

    🌟🌟🌟 A brilliant breakdown. I haven’t seen anyone else explain the political theatre and market angles like this. Will be really interesting to see what happens with $DJT once this all plays out in the US. Big thanks for putting this together, BC!!! 😻😻😻

    🌟🀩🌟 Honestly, I found the idea of a presidential birthday parade pretty uncomfortable, especially with that kind of military display. Your post nailed the tension between political drama and market psychology. It’ll be fascinating to see how $DJT opens after the weekend. Thanks for the clarity and depth, BC! An awesome read as always πŸŒŸπŸ’œ
