Craigslist Listing Reportedly Seeks Paid 'Seat Fillers' for Trump's Birthday Parade

In mid-June 2025, an image depicting a Craigslist listing that sought paid seat fillers for a military parade scheduled in Washington, D.C. on June 14 began circulating widely on social media.
The ad, posted on June 10, offered $1,000 in cryptocurrency from Fight Fight Fight LLC and encouraged minorities to join for attendance perception at President Trump’s birthday parade.
The parade marks the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and aims to honor military service, with the ad specifying patriotic dress and seating arranged for TV and VIP viewership.
Social media users widely mocked the event and the ad’s legitimacy, noting no contact info and possible satire related to the organizer name T-Mellon Events and crypto payment.
While some question the ad’s authenticity and connections, the parade will proceed June 14 and the White House calls it a tribute to military sacrifice and service.
