Late-night comedians including Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert finally agree with Fox News about something: President Trump’s military parade, which is reportedly being worked on at “the highest levels of government,” isn’t the best use of taxpayer dollars.

“It seems like a waste of money,” Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade said on Wednesday morning. Late-night hosts echoed the sentiments later in the evening: “The world knows America has a military. It’s in their countries right now,” Noah quipped.

“So you’re just going full dictator now?” Meyers asked rhetorically. “If you want to hold a parade for something you yourself actively avoided, why not throw an IRS Parade or a Parade of Personal Trainers?”
