Washington Post Issues Warning About Donald Trump’s Fourth Of July Bash

The newspaper’s editorial board explained why Americans shouldn’t be lured by the spectacle of the event.

The Washington Post editorial board has issued a warning to Americans, urging them not to be taken in by the pomp and ceremony that will be on display at President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July celebration in Washington.

Americans “shouldn’t be lured by the trappings or the spectacle or the rhetoric of Mr. Trump,” the board said, instead suggesting they should “claim the day for values embraced by the founders: freedom, tolerance and respect for all.”

I totally agree!

It was bad enough that Mr. Trump sought to make the holiday about himself with plans to deliver a nationally televised address from the Lincoln Memorial, thus eliminating what many consider the hands-down best spot in Washington for fellowship and fireworks on the Fourth of July. But Mr. Trump now plans to cordon off an area in front of the memorial reserved just for dignitaries, family and friends. Nothing about reserved seating says “We the people.”

For you Lakhota the ignorant,

Here from Navy Military on the July 4 1976 Celebration that in part involved many MILITARY ships from many nations that docked in American ports as shown on page 8-11 of the PDF.

Also look at page 3 for the Schedule of events. There are plenty of Military involvement in it.

What had been a nonpolitical, nonpartisan celebration on the National Mall will now likely be a multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-financed political rally, critics worry.

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump has hijacked what for decades had been a nonpolitical Independence Day celebration on the National Mall, packing his ticketed-event speech with political appointees and Republican donors.

The Republican National Committee has been offering major donors tickets to Trump’s speech, as have political appointees at the White House and executive branch agencies.

“He’s going to have tanks out there. It’s going to be cool,” joked one RNC fundraiser on condition of anonymity. He said he received an offer for the free tickets on Friday but did not request any. “He wants to have a parade like they have in Moscow or China or North Korea.”

Trump has been enamored of public displays of military might since he attended the Bastille Day festivities in Paris in 2017. His plan for a massive military parade last year was canceled after a Defense Department estimate became public showing that it would cost $92 million and damage the city’s roads because of the weight of tanks and other equipment.

The current plans for Thursday do not include a parade, but Trump is still pushing for tanks or other military vehicles to be displayed on the National Mall, The Washington Post reported, even though their weight is liable to damage the grass and roads. Flyovers by military planes ― including Air Force One and the Navy’s Blue Angels squadron ― are also planned.

The Independence Day celebration has traditionally been a nonpartisan holiday. Now Trump is trying to turn it into a partisan political rally. I think that is ignorant. What do you think?

Congratulations! You've taken your Moonbattery to an even more extreme level.

You should do what I am going to do.

Not watch it, and not care.

Trump’s a retard no matter how you slice it. My feelings don’t matter.

You obviously have never been close to a person with mental retardation. You are a disgusting, hateful person.

I can see democrats are pissed about this day. America becoming its own independent country with borders. That's impossibly offensive.

So yes, it will basically be a Trump day. Trump wants an independent America with a border in the future as well. Does anyone know where I can get some Trump flags to go next to the American flags?

No answer to my question? Funny. Thanks for playing...

There are things for which Trump is deserving of criticism, but this isn't one of them.

What's wrong with celebrating the 4th of July? What's wrong with putting some tanks and other military hardware on display for the public? It's not something the public typically gets to see and it's probably a good recruiting tool to encourage young people to consider serving in the military.

For radical extremists like you, every Trump statement or action is an outrage and your outrage only flows in one direction.

What's wrong is turning it into his personal political rally.

So..you don't like America? 'Sup, bitch?

July 4th should be a nonpartisan day for all Americans to celebrate our independence instead of having it turned into a partisan political rally. It shouldn't be hijacked and turned into a narcissistic celebration of Trump.

Never in my life have I celebrated 4th of July and thought of Trump, you?

Politics has nothing to do with military honor of winning our war over British tyrannical rule over the colonists.

Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Martin Van Buren and James Polk all reviewed military parades on America's independence day.

They reviewed parades in other cities. They didn't have their own because they were jealous of France and North fucking Korea.

I don't ever remember a president turning July 4th into ME Day.

I live in one of the most liberal areas in America and yet I am seing flags everywhere for 4th of July.
Churches everywhere
Easter celebrated
Christmas too
And I'm not a Christian, so your claim about liberals is a fauxnews propaganda.

If you were Christian you wouldnt back a bully, adulterer, liar, who fuck porn stars and married to a gold digger.

If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were talking about Khmala Harriss-)

I think trump was so impressed with the military displays in N. Korea, he feels the need to show Kim and his base he's got a bigger one, and a bigger one than Kim.

 

[imawhosure]

No it just shouldn’t be hosted by retards.

Nobody hates like the left, you're proof of that.

Trump’s a retard no matter how you slice it. My feelings don’t matter.

Your 2nd sentence is 100% correct! 1st time you have EVER posted anything correct on this board-)

 

[my2¢]

Not sweating it. Whatever Trump's plans are for Independence Day is one of those things that I'm sure to avoid notice of.

 

[Muhammed]

I won't be going near the July 4th NaziCon political jamboree on the National Mall. It's a national disgrace to weaponize Independence Day for political purposes.

RNC READY TO ROCK AT ‘NONPARTISAN’ JULY 4
