Trump calls D.C.'s July 4th 250th celebration a 'Trump rally'
The president's announcement that the July 4th event in DC celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will be a "TRUMP RALLY" completes the MAGA takeover of the country's birthday that started last year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202....
Dan Friedman167This is not at all surprising, but it's worth noting that Freedom 250 flacks are out there saying the group, which is organizing the July 4 event, is nonpartisan. Making the official July 4 event in Washington into a TRUMP rally doesn't seem nonpartisan.
termitebaby53.bsky.social46A Trump Rally paid for with our tax dollars! How is this legal? (I know, I know - laws are meaningless to this bunch). I wonder if it can be stopped thru the courts?
GermanNerd25all of this has nothing to do with America. MAGA celebrates Trump, Americans celebrate America.
fjf1.bsky.social18Condolences to all those forced to attend.
jjmplsmn18I'd rather be bitten by fire ants.
Barbara Andes14To where can we all travel to gather for a REAL July 4th event? I was in Philadelphia for the culmination of a memorable seventh grade school year preparing for and celebrating the bicentennial in 1976! Sad that Trump completely screwed up the 250th year.
Steve🖖 🇺🇸💚🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇲🇽💙❌👑🏳️🌈10As someone who saw the bicentennial celebrations in person, I say this anniversary sucks.
itsmanbearpig.bsky.social10OMG this will be HILARIOUS!!! 😆 'his playlist' !! So we will hear Ave Maria, and YMCA, and Ice Ice Baby, maybe back to back
Karina Coombs10If it’s specifically a MAGA rally - as he specified - does that mean his campaign funds pay for it versus taxpayer funds?
Blue Rover9250 years of oppressive, racist, misogynistic, lying white men. The gov’t is shooting citizens in the streets and running concentration camps. The majority of the population is working poor,and white men are free to rape & murder without consequence. Hard pass on celebrating that.
dplugin5Oh sweet mother of electrical storms, we beseech thee
The Morrigan4It’s so gross. I remember 1976 as a kid and it being America’s birthday celebration for everybody. I loathe MAGA. I’m gonna read a good book and go to bed early. Maybe something else later in the summer with open minded folks.
mleroi.bsky.social4They’ve been practicing. Watching ppl’s reactions. Went to a 4th parade in a local town 3 yrs ago. Turned out to be lines of floats constructed by MAGA groups.I was “ surprised “ the village issued a permit for a political rally on a day set aside to commemorate the start of a shared nation.
Lyle Scout4You know who else really liked to have rallies?
North Korea will be so proud
cactus297.bsky.social4JFC, this shit never ends!
Annabel Lee3He has a military school graduate's attention to grammar and spelling.
J.Arizona3Our military bands are filled with phenomenal musicians. Outside of this debacle, if you have an opportunity to see a performance, you should take it.
Nancy Chadwick3'Be there. Will be wild.'
web_rant3"We will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly complain!" bsky.app/profile/dfri...
Paul Rodger3Somebody still has feelings of inadequacy from the parades in Beijing last year, so America gets Moron Festivus.
Delawarestorm3It really was supposed to something to celebrate, and like everything he touches, he ruined it for the 60%+ of the country that hates him.
danlawsc.bsky.social3Hey look at me! I’m going to violate the Hatch Act! Laws are for suckers!
Qew2Maybe no musical acts will perform so he's forcing the military to do it.
Terry Blumenstein2Beautiful and Safe? Videos show an overwhelming amount of fencing installed
experimental22.bsky.social2All decent Americans, all patriots must boycott this open celebration of American Nazism. Celebrate when this Nazism is defeated & the American Republic restored. Not until then.
Go Ask Alice2I will not be celebrating on July 4
Roland Gerritsen van der Hoop2Trump is afflicted with a modified Midas curse. Everything he touches, he thinks, turns to gold. Instead it turns to fake gold, then shit, withers, and dies. He is literally destroying everything I love about this country and still getting away with it.
nanahagg.bsky.social2What happened to the original America 250 plans???
jhg1968.bsky.social2Is this taking the place of a Capitol 4th?
Trump just announced that the July 4 event on the National Mall celebrating America 250 will now be turned into a "TRUMP RALLY."
Sherry326119I'm old enough to remember how excited people were for the Bicentennial. This is just so sad in comparison.
Tessa 🌹50I hate him so much
Michele Lamb39Of course he’s going to ruin what should be a joyful historical event; and lazy corporate media will play along.
Dona Dickinson28Thus 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
Catincognito skeeting since 07/3/202328We can only keep thinking good thoughts
Inbtwnthedarkandthelight25You spelled shit show wrong.
Dave Keon's Cousin 🏒 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱14Can't wait to see the A-list entertainment lineup.
Unity In Defiance13That’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.
Chris13This and *gestures everywhere* all of this is why I can’t get excited about America’s 250th.
Josephine Imperato11I 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.
predictionmonk technologies9Great job, Republican voters. And great job, those who sat the election out because you don't do politics.
lesliead717.bsky.social8It’s official. we are living under a facist regime
BookReadingDiva548It’s why PBS moved A Capitol Fourth to July 3rd and they are having their fireworks display at Mount Vernon.
RiseUp!! (Formerly Maskup)7Translation: No talented entertainers want to be associated with our nazi regime.
Skyline7A rally for what? He's already president.
El Sargento García7Fuck that narcissistic motherfucker and his followers.
5Plume🪶6Naturally. 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.
LR6I.e. a Dear Leader worship event.
Toonces McGillicutty (Writer?)5Then, we need a 11m people march onto the national mall telling him no.
bdkinss-❌️👑💙🌊🇺🇲🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🏳️🌈4He knows he's losing, gotta gather his MAGAts together and remind them how much they hate "others."
Lindsay 🇩🇰🇺🇸 A Immigrant3I hope there are circus animals 🙏🏻
destiny-plus.bsky.social3No 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.
Logic Thinker3He’s conflating himself with our country. Never thought I’d dread the 250th anniversary of our country… yet here we are.
Mrs. Val3They're going to be handing out some big bucks to pay for "attendees"
Nualaatpeace3Seems he's not tired of the boos.
Hansine Ilse of the North Shore3Isn’t that what they all are ? For Pro- PEDO-Felony Traitor uniting ? Narcissistic sociopathic psychopaths Convention. Perfect time to arrest all of the criminals 🤷🏻♀️🙄
rawdawg67.bsky.social2I’m surprised he’s not rebranding it to “Trump 80”.
Dave N.2The news media and political elite in this country are incapable of understanding that normal people don’t want to associate with an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.
Tigernan Pournelle, Furious Irish🏳️🌈2Because the UFC fight didn't make him happy enough/piss enough of us off.
Otis Redfoot2I think most of the hillbillies spent their last paycheck to see the UFC trailer park fight last week
He pretty much called that already when he announced himself as the main ‘performer’ when so many others backed out.
Hoosier leftist2And this is one example why 7/4 is just another day.
Tara ❌️👑2I fucking HATE him and every magat pos in this country!!!
Angry_Gammy ❌👑2It's no wonder why so many are not interested in celebrating America's 250th, HE sucks the joy out of EVERYTHING! Would have been so nice to have an intelligent, decent POTUS for this patriotic occasion but so many didn't bother to vote in 2024, now we have to deal with this. #ETTD
ArizonaTerry.bsky.social2No one should get near that crap. #FDT
Hormuz Moose in a Caboose2It’s not about HIM. #NPD
MFIQ47POS2Fuck this MF47 he is not human any more! Fucking shit!
Spirit from Montgomery2It was never about the country
Pugluver 🐾2I think that was the plan all along😣 Don’ forget 👇👇
Nicole Adams 🇩🇪🇺🇦 ❌👑🐸2Rally for WHAT? He's done and out after this... but I'm sure his dummy MAGATS don't realize that tiny bit of truth
Sherry Krauss2How many billions is he stealing for these events?
Ole Christensen 🇪🇺🤝🏼🇺🇦2Me, me, me, me, me and a lot more ME‼️
July 4th is cancelled this year. Just another day as Convicted Felon Donald Trump makes it about himself. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Lady Di6FFS he will do anything to make it about him 🙄
Sheryl with an S4🤮I pray this is his last 4th.
Ryan Moore 🏳️🌈 🇵🇸 🇺🇦3It was cancelled for me the moment he was reelected. I will celebrate this country via protest until he is gone.
Jen H2OR hear me out, what if we acutally take Independence Day for what it is this year and make it happen.
RFK Brain Worm Jr.2America IS the freedom to be corrupt, in Trump's eyes and the eyes of his greedy Republicans cohorts. Nothing more. Hardworking Americans and their dreams means absolutely nothing to these people.
Trump declares D.C.'s July 4th celebration as a "TRUMP RALLY"
helchose.bsky.social24Fourth of July is cancelled, folks.
I apologize for the nonsense🤣🌮16Then he can fucking pay for it
Dave N.11And this is why people are just tuning out any 250th celebration. It’s all been tainted by a fat, disgusting rapist & felon.
𝚖𝚘𝚔𝚞 𓅃7he is systematically taking all that americans hold sacred & dragging it through pig-shit; unless the USA goes through a radical enlightenment it will never recover from the second trump presidency
Crying for my country4Best not be using taxpayer money then!
Ewan Sutherland3Sultanism, another name for "Despotism", is a form of authoritarian government characterized by the extreme personal presence of the ruler in all elements of governance. Grand Sultan Trump 🤮
nedbarrett 🌈2Why is nothing about the country?
Michael Campbell 🏳️🌈 🎥🎬2Where's Thomas Paine when we need him?
SherriSays 🌊2I'm not celebrating US milestones until the White trash is removed from the White House. That's the day I celebrate.
Trump's embarrassing UFC spectacle was barely over when he declared America's 250th birthday a "most spectacular TRUMP RALLY" this morning. Our semiquincentennial is the anniversary of the day we officially said "no more" to the whims of a mad king. And we're gonna do it again in November.
Political geek 💙💙💙💙💔 🇺🇦6You know, I am a Christian. I have never before hated another human. I've known some real stinkers. Heck growing up we were not allowed to say we hated anything, alive or inanimate. Sadly, I can no longer say that. Trump is satan personified. I hate his guts. I'll work on that but make no promises.
Blue Shelly2No Trump rally should be using our military band or military for anything.
Kuhlcat ❌️👑🇺🇦🇺🇸🏳️🌈2He's destroying the 250th for most of us, just like he's destroying the country. 🤬
Fucking hell. Somebody file a lawsuit please. It's an absurd abuse of power to bill this as a "Trump Rally" while involving our military - and on the 4th of July to boot.
cjndfan1.bsky.social3Fraud. Waste.Abuse. How much will this cost taxpayers? He’s already screwing us with all his other bullshit!
trussell25.bsky.social2Dude sleeping at nba finals and ufc worried about music that puts you to sleep! Felon would sleep though Ozzie!
Pat IS the Bunny!2Flybys and an airshow at night?? Uuuh. Safety protocols?
Pat IS the Bunny!2Forcing the military to perform for him.
MariaC🇦🇷🇮🇹🇺🇦2Fuck him I won’t be watching Or listening Let him drown in his own bullshit When he is finally removed, we need to seize every fucking penny, every building, every stock…everything he “owns”, which he stole from us This fuckfest is gonna cost us Let him celebrate in Russia
JustAGuyFromKY2I guess we need to march on DC for the 4th of July Drown out his pathetic rally
