Trump is proposing a celebration around July 4 by The Lincoln Memorial


Trump said Tuesday that he's exploring the idea of holding a parade called "Salute to America" around July 4. The Lincoln Memorial is under consideration for the event, which he said would be more like a "gathering." He'd also like the event to become a tradition.

"We're thinking about doing, on the 4th of July or thereabouts, a parade. A 'Salute to America' parade," Trump said at the White House. "It will be a — really, a gathering, as opposed to a parade, I'd guess you'd have to say. Perhaps at the Lincoln Memorial."

Last year, Trump staged a separate, nationally-televised concert from the White House lawn for the military and other guests.

SMDH.

Trump "staged."

Lots of pomp, very little circumstance.

A parade, again?

Trump, with SO MANY IDLE EXECUTIVE HOURS that he doesn't have the time of day to walk a dog, is planning parades?

Like he couldn't task one of his "BEST PEOPLE" working in the White House to do this?

On the 4th of July, even? Wow!

How novel an idea!

Meanwhile, another Infrastructure Week just passed with nothing done. Veterans are still being cared for by 3 guys (who never served in the military) who just finished golfing at Mar-A-Lago.

Hey kids! Let's put on a SHOW!

It should be a nice celebration of America, as always, dems are against the idea.

reply

I agree, not sure why the dems are against celebrating July 4.

reply

Why would you lie that dems oppose people celebrating the 4th of July when there's no push to prevent people from doing it? Could it be that you like the idea of Trump using the 4th of July to celebrate himself?

Just more trolling along with the Trump admin.

This is interesting.

Fourth of July Celebrators More Likely to Become Republicans

reply

So is this.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3092984/

Studies have shown that people identifying as conservative is due to their amygdala being more prone to fear and uncertainty.

The military, a belief in god, freedom of religion legislation, fear of Christmas being taken away, fear of guns being taken away, and the wall on the southern border are all examples of a support system to help you feel safe even when nothing is attacking you.

So yes. Republicans are going to be more likely to celebrate the 4th of July. Just like republicans are going to be more likely to fear that democrats are trying to take the 4th of July away from you. Just like republicans fear Muslims blowing you up, Mexicans invading your country, and democrats taking your guns. It's all fear, fear, fear.

And republican politicians and mega churches and Donald J. Trump (who was a democrat and Clinton ally up until the point he learned from Steve Bannon he could rally right-wing retards to boost his political career by calling Obama a foreigner with a foreigner's agenda) all know it and that is how they control you.

Because you are all fear-infected morons.

reply

That article makes a good point. Republicans are fearful of the liberals taking over. So thanks for posting that.

Liberals like yourself are such wonderful people that you still call people you don't agree with retards.

"So we set for ourselves an urgent goal to disrupt this cycle of isolation and exclusion with grassroots action for inclusion in schools, workplaces, and communities around the world. And to reach it, we created an ambitious plan to tackle one part of this exclusion, the word “retard(ed)” by finding and empowering local champions to call for change in their community, whether that be on a university campus, in a school cafeteria, or a workplace."

IfImBoredImHere, I think calling what I wrote political vitriol is more than a tad hyperbolic.

I used simple words to say that T-rump made his "let's have FIREWORKS on the Mall on the 4th of July!" sound like he had this BRILLIANT idea - which no one had ever had before.

When T-rump made that statement this week, reporters had to ask 2 (TWO!) follow-up questions where it clearly gleaned on T-rump that he might not have been the 1st guy who thought of having that party on that day.

I mock him, it's true. I'm allowed.

T-rump isn't known for being a scholar. He isn't known for being kind to his predecessors & he's never given others credit. Do YOU think that he ever read any biographies of John Adams, the 1st guy to propose such July 4th celebrations? Do YOU think he was aware of past celebrations right there on the Mall?

Because there's no evidence that he does know or is aware that people celebrate the holiday and HAVE done so - right there where he suggested. SMDH.

I've celebrated the 4th of July all my life, even when I was out of the country for the holiday. I've marched in parades in uniform. I've celebrated the holiday in Washington DC, once on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, another time watching the fireworks reflect on the black wall inscribed with the names of fallen soldiers - people who fought & died in a war which T-rump supported yet did not serve.

But T-rump knows more than the generals. He's said that. T-rump has allowed 3 members of his Mar-A-Lago golf club make POLICY on the Veteran's Administration.

The 9/11 comment? Trump made a statement about witnessing "10s of 1000s of Muslims in New Jersey CELEBRATING the destruction of the Towers." He claims to have witnessed that.

I question his judgment.
He would be a HORRIBLE witness in court.
As would you if you think what I wrote in either post was a case against a July 4th celebration.

Last? I'm NEVER bored & I feel sorry for people who are & come HERE to relieve it.

Imagine hating Trump so much that you oppose a celebration of America, our great country. Sad.

The left is so steeped in it's hate, they don't see it's just petulant and childish at this point. Still clinging to a Russian conspiracy so they have something to insult Trump over, despite evidence showing there was nothing all along. Sad is exactly the right way to describe them.
