    Default DT Turns Independence Celebration Into Political Campaign Rally

    "“This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore,” Trump said. He lamented “cancel culture” and charged that some on the political left hope to “defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children.” He said Americans should speak proudly of their heritage and shouldn’t have to apologize for its history."

    DT pushes racial division, flouts virus rules at Mount Rushmore

    Is anyone surprised?

    No doubt more of the same can be expected tonight in DC.

    "The discord was heightened as the Trump campaign confirmed during the president’s speech that Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fundraiser for the campaign and the girlfriend of Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr., had tested positive for the coronavirus while in South Dakota. Both Guilfoyle and Trump Jr., who serves as a top surrogate for the president, are isolating themselves and have canceled public events, according to Sergio Gor, chief of staff to the Trump campaign’s finance committee."

    More campaign rhetoric:

    "The event, while not a campaign rally, had the feel of one as the friendly crowd greeted Trump with chants of “Four more years!” and cheered enthusiastically as he and first lady Melania Trump took the stage."

    Total disregard for the risk of transmission:

    "The small town of Keystone, which lies a couple of miles from the monument, was buzzing with people Friday hoping to catch a glimpse of the fireworks and the president. Many wore pro-Trump T-shirts and hats. Few wore masks."

    And that did not go unnoticed:

    "Mike Harris of Rapid City, who said he was a Republican, wore a mask and waved an anti-Trump flag. He also was sporting a handgun on each hip. He said he was worried the event would spark a COVID-19 outbreak.

    “I think it’s a bad example being set by our president and our governor,” Harris said."

    No. Trump NEVER tries to unite the Country. It's always a 'Us against Them'. (how much longer until November?)

    Democrats started that non stop when they lost in 2016. It is coming home to roost for them. And they will not like the results. Again.

    He’s right. There were people, Donnie’s girlfriend, who were positive, how many people did she interact with before they sent her packing?

    OP link:

    "Several people who once oversaw fire danger at the national memorial had said setting off fireworks over the forest was a bad idea that could lead to a large wildfire. Fireworks were called off after 2009 because a mountain pine beetle infestation increased the fire risks.

    Noem pushed to get the fireworks resumed soon after she was elected, and enlisted Trump’s help. The president brushed aside fire concerns earlier this year, saying: “What can burn? It’s stone.”"

    What a dumb thing to say. The area is surrounded by highly flammable beetletkill pine.

    I am *so* looking forward to having a president who does not sew hatred and try to divide the country.

    He must think he is president of the Divided States of America.

    He's got a lot of nerve co-opting the birthday of the USA.
