Donald Trump's Fourth of July bash to include speech at Lincoln Memorial, parade, flyovers
by David Jackson
June 19, 2019


WASHINGTON – The Trump administration announced plans Wednesday for a unique July Fourth celebration – a made-for-TV event starring President Donald J. Trump.

Trump will deliver a speech from the Lincoln Memorial as part of a daylong series of events that includes a military-themed parade near the National Mall and flyovers featuring planes used for Air Force One, officials said.

“There is no more appropriate place to celebrate the anniversary of American independence than among the Nation’s monuments on the National Mall and the memorials to the service men and women who have defended the United States for the past 243 years,” Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said in a statement.

Trump's address at the Lincoln Memorial, to be delivered at a "Salute to America" event at 6:30 p.m. on Independence Day, is designed "to honor America’s armed forces," the Interior Department said.
...

Whelan said, "there appears to be little justifiable reason" for major changes, "beyond personal preference" of Trump.

"In short," she said, "this is a waste of time, a waste of money and a dishonor to our country."

The administration listed the traditional "Capitol Fourth Concert" on the west lawn of the Capitol as one of the holiday events. It is now joined by others that include . . .

After Trump's tweet in February, critic William Kristol responded: "The last president to try to hijack July 4th was Richard Nixon, who staged Honor America Day on July 4, 1970. It was widely ridiculed. Nixon later left office in disgrace."

Bill Kristol is such a cuck. Response to tweet in February. Guess he was still holding out hope on Muhller-Time.

You have to have a pretty warped sense of reality to think a celebration on the 4th of July is a dishonor to our country.

They are just pissed that one of greatest perks of being an incumbent president in an election cycle is having the biggest bully pulpit in the world.

And he blasts it up their arses like a fleet of F35s .

I swear I HATE Bill Kristol with a passion. There's no telling how many special interest groups are pulling that neocon bastard's strings.

PS - Funny how Ben Shapiro won't condemn this insane Kristol tweet. But let Trump respond and he would be all over the President.

No other president had input on the national celebration of July 4th in DC?

a dishonor to our country."


Celebrating the country's Independence Day is now a dishonor to that same country?

There’s a group of us that go every year and sit over by the Jefferson Memorial and it’s always packed, assholes to elbows.

Sucks for the servicemembers who have to participate in a dog and pony show and all the rehearsals over the four day weekend.
