Seriously.
Trump loves stirring it up and working those against him up into a tizzy.
Every maneuver for his event tonight has been to notch up the drama and suck the air out of everything. And look. Dozens of threads dedicated to outrage over this nonsense. Yes, I realize the irony of my post which just adds to it. And no, I'm not turning numb to his behavior and the acceptance and normalization of it by certain segments of our society. I am mad as hell what he has done to co-opt a holiday that is meant to celebrate independence and freedom from tyranny.
Enjoy your 4th of July as you always do. Won't most people be out and about and not tuned in to TV at all? I predict it will be a flop and we'll all just move on the next atrocity. It's all but assured he'll proclaim the event a huge success no matter the outcome. Sad. But don't let it ruin your day. There's always tomorrow when we can all get back to work throwing him and Republicans out of power.

(62,444 posts)People are acting as if the relatively low key commemoration normally held in DC was somehow the centerpiece of July 4.
DC didnt even exist in 1776, and Drumpfs nonsense is just that.
Except for people in the area, when did anyone ever really give a shit what went on in DC on July 4?
Maybe living in the Philadelphia area has me biased, but that area of the Potomac was simply a swamp at the time.

(31,506 posts)He doesn't care if it's good attention or bad. All that matters to him is that he is the center of attention and he'll do whatever it takes to occupy that spot.
