That cost would occur wherever those troops were stationed. The only costs you can include are ones above their normal berthing costs, if any.
I don't believe any of the figures I've seen from any source.
So? Semi-tractor trailers weigh up to 80,000 lbs. and have a much greater ground pressure than an Abrams tank. They dive on roads and streets all the time.An M1 Abrams weighs over 54 tons. By comparison, a medium crawler dozer weighs up to 27 tons distributed over about the same footprint.

How Much Does a Bulldozer Weigh? (Types & Weight Range Chart) | Measuringly
The weight of crawler bulldozers can range from 8 tons for smaller models to over 120 tons for the largest ones. Wheel bulldozer weights can vary from around 15 tons for smaller models to 40 tons for larger ones. Mini bulldozer weights usually range between 7 to 10 tons.measuringly.com
An Abrams with double bushed, rubber pad, tracks has a ground pressure of about 14 psi. A loaded semi-tractor exerts over 100 psi ground pressure. Which do you think is going to do more damage to a road driving over it? That is why interstate highways have a reinforced concrete roadbed several feet thick.
The only time an Abrams might tear up the pavement is when it has to turn, and that was already considered and they're using those steel plates you commonly see used to cover trenches in a street when doing construction and traffic has to continue.
There would clearly be a rental cost involved here but I doubt it would run into the millions of dollars.
And with that, we can now see why you remained semen... err, a seaman.

Still waiting for you to post the numbers on who much Trump's birthday parade will cost. I'm patient.That cost would occur wherever those troops were stationed. The only costs you can include are ones above their normal berthing costs, if any.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's "dumb and docile", at least not in all things. I certainly don't think that just anyone can be elected President of the United States twice. That being said, I certainly agree that he can be manipulated. Generally speaking, I like Tulsi Gabbard, so I'm not too worried about -her- leading him astray, but she's only one of many people around him. I certainly think what he's doing in the middle east is pretty bad, but then Biden didn't seem to be much better there.

Not the first time Donnie has been accused of not being a "reader". LOL
President Donald Trump’s intelligence chief is exploring ways to revamp his routine intelligence briefing in order to build his trust in the material and make it more aligned with how he likes to consume information, according to five people with direct knowledge of the discussions.
Gabbard considering ways to revamp Trump's intelligence briefing
One idea is to make the briefing, which according to his schedule Trump has been taking less often than his predecessors, a video that looks like Fox News.www.nbcnews.com
As part of that effort, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has solicited ideas from current and former intelligence officials about steps she could take to tailor the briefing, known as the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, to Trump’s policy interests and habits.
One idea that’s been discussed is possibly creating a video version of the PDB that’s made to look and feel like a Fox News broadcast, four of the people with direct knowledge of the discussions said....
...A new PDB could include not only graphics and pictures but also maps with animated representations of exploding bombs, similar to a video game, another one of the people with knowledge of the discussions said.
“The problem with Trump is that he doesn’t read,” said another person with direct knowledge of the PDB discussions. “He’s on broadcast all the time.”
Yep. The problem with verbally informing someone of something is that they might misunderstand, not be paying attention, and/or have nothing to refer to if they need to double check. When dealing with an elderly person with poor recall, it gets even worse.
Trump is a stupid, uneducated, mentally deficient con man. His genius is in selling himself as powerful, strong, smart, in charge. MAGATs buy it. The rest of the world is worried.

Here is the 50 second Gabbard briefing to Trump about the Holocaust:

I'm not the one making claims about what it will cost. I've only stated that the claims I've seen to date are vague and almost certainly wildly exaggerated. You are the one claiming $45 million. Show the cost breakdown.
The presidential briefing is normally daily and to the president. Not the VP briefing. Ergo Presidential Daily Briefing. You are wrong. In over 100 days, Trump has shown for 12. He was criticized for blowing them off first term too.

No, but I don't think it will cost tens of millions either.

Of course you don't. You have no idea what it will cost.

I've said as much, other than it won't be $45 million or more. You have no idea either but keep parroting the numbers the Trump haters publish without question.

You have no clue but claim my information is false. Got it. Thanks again.

You already gave examples trying to support it that show it's false such as including the costs of feeding and berthing the military members taking part in it. Those are costs the military would incur regardless.

I've posted links. You didn't like them but don't have any of your own. Again, Terry. No worries. I understand. If your Orange Jesus says it's a free parade, you'll believe him.
YOU KNOW HOW WE KNOW THIS IS A HIT PIECE?
JUST LOOK AT ALL THE JPP LEFTIST GOULS SALIVATING AND CUMMING ALL OVER THIS THREAD.
IT'S COMICAL !!!

You know how I know Brazilians are an emotional hot mess? When they type in all caps and scream about others cumming.
Its known that Trump does not read much, and certainly not books, and his reason is pretty solid...he says most books are boring and written by people who are wrong. He long ago decided to go out into the world, experience it, and make up his own mind what is going on....he is sure that he has better sense than almost anyone else regardless of their credentials.
