Trump calls D.C.'s July 4th 250th celebration a 'Trump rally'

cultureJun 15, 202635934

President Donald Trump announced he will stage Washington, D.C.'s July 4 semiquincentennial celebration as a campaign-style "Trump Rally" on the National Mall, centered at the Lincoln Memorial. The administration moved the traditional Capitol July 4 ceremony to July 3 and plans for July 4 include about 300 military musicians, airshows, and an expanded fireworks display. That decision places a partisan presidential event at the heart of America's 250th birthday and effectively turns federal pageantry and resources into a platform for the president's re-election messaging.

Trump just announced that the July 4 event on the National Mall celebrating America 250 will now be turned into a "TRUMP RALLY."

I'm old enough to remember how excited people were for the Bicentennial. This is just so sad in comparison.

I hate him so much

Of course he’s going to ruin what should be a joyful historical event; and lazy corporate media will play along.

You spelled shit show wrong.

Thus taking away a traditional DC area family event- picnic and fireworks and music on the National Mall. No one will take their kids to a Proud Boys “wild” event. #ETTD

Can't wait to see the A-list entertainment lineup.

This and *gestures everywhere* all of this is why I can’t get excited about America’s 250th.

That’s because to this absolute unit of a dipshit, there is no “America.” He is such a megalomaniac narcissistic asshole that he believes HE is America — just like all the GOP members act like they are GUN, or they are PATRIOT. Notice I didn’t invoke a name & you know who I’m referring to.

I suppose we'll see the same people from the UFC cage fight. I can't imagine any decent American attending a "Trump Rally" on America's birthday. I also can't imagine any reputable entertainer performing for this vermin. DC is NOT the place to be on 7/4.

It’s official. we are living under a facist regime

Great job, Republican voters. And great job, those who sat the election out because you don't do politics.

Naturally. Anything else isn't a good use of the villain's time. We didn't reject the cagefight effectively so he knows he won't hear too much complaining.

Translation: No talented entertainers want to be associated with our nazi regime.

A rally for what? He's already president.

Then, we need a 11m people march onto the national mall telling him no.

El Sargento García5

Fuck that narcissistic motherfucker and his followers.

I.e. a Dear Leader worship event.

I hope there are circus animals 🙏🏻

No surprise here. This pos’ 2 administrations has always been about him. The sooner we impeach and run his behind to rot in jail the better.

It’s why PBS moved A Capitol Fourth to July 3rd and they are having their fireworks display at Mount Vernon.

He knows he's losing, gotta gather his MAGAts together and remind them how much they hate "others."

Isn’t that what they all are ? For Pro- PEDO-Felony Traitor uniting ? Narcissistic sociopathic psychopaths Convention. Perfect time to arrest all of the criminals 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄
