Your Fourth of July Quiz from the NYT

I got 15/16 correct. Yes, I have been thinking about Trump too much.

Happy extremely long Independence Day weekend! As our thoughts turn to the nation’s glorious beginnings, it’s not actually necessary to wonder what would have happened if Donald Trump had been a founding father. Really, stick to the fireworks. Still, the demands of concerned citizenship never wane. Let’s see how much attention you’ve been paying to current presidential events.

#1: Celebrating 100 days in office, Trump looked back philosophically on his White House experience and said …

“I thought it would be easier.”
“I thought there would be better food.”
“I thought I could do it from Mar-a-Lago.”
