President Donald Trump’s big birthday parade became the subject of a Craigslist ad branded by the White House as “fake.” The ad, published Tuesday, was headlined “Seat Fillers Needed - June 14th - Constitution Avenue - DC.” Coincidentally, Trump’s $45 million tank parade in honor of his 79th birthday is taking place in Washington, D.C. on the same day. “T-Mellon Events is looking for seat fillers and extras to provide their time for space maximization and attendance perception for an event taking place in Washington DC on June 14th,” the ad read. “Extras are required to wear Red, White and Blue clothing and will be provided a RED hat to wear. GOLD accessories are acceptable as well.” The ad promised $1,000 in cryptocurrency and lunch for any takers. “We encourage people of color and ethnic groups to sign up for maximum perception control and these individuals will be prominently displayed on the televised broadcast and local viewing screens to be seen by the VIP platform,” it added. The White House told TMZ, however, that the ad was “fake news.” The company cited in the ad, Fight Fight Fight LLC, told TMZ that they knew nothing about the posting.
