    Default Trump’s July Fourth parade is a tribute to himself

    Fresh off his Authoritarians Tour 2019, President Trump is ready to celebrate himself on July Fourth.
    Oh sure, there’s that whole Independence Day thing going on, but whatever. Trump’s “Salute to America” isn’t about this country. It’s a masturbatory self-tribute by the man cruelly leading it. This is the military parade Trump has wanted for more than two years to show off his big-boy toys like tanks and jets, in formation for his own glorification.

    If his dictator buddies like Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan can have expensive and pointless pomp and circumstance, why can’t Trump?

    Patriotism is anathema to the far left loons in this country.

    So why do we need Trump to celebrate this great nation?

    Never needed any prior President to orchestrate festivities, so why now Trump other than his effort to make it all about him?

    President Trump is the leader who has brought America back to greatness.

    He has stated his love of this country and his intention to always put America first.

    It will be a great celebration with our great president on scene leading the patriotic Americans in their celebration.

    Radical Democrat Socialists who hate any display of patriotism need not apply.

    One does not have to serve in the Military to love our country.

    Another political screed premised on the author’s own imaginings, and not much else. This sort of writing is teaching true believers to pretend mind reading is leads to the truth.
    The anti-Trumper's new mantra:

    “B-b-but muh White supremacy”
