Title: It's Not About Him

But he'd disagree....

Trump's July 4: Patriotic or self-promoting?

What's happening:

The Fourth of July is always a major celebration, especially in the nation's capital. This year, President Trump is planning a bigger event in Washington, D.C., than anything that's come before. The "Salute to America" will feature a massive fireworks display, military aircraft flyovers, music and an address by the president from the Lincoln Memorial. Trump has said tanks will be part of the proceedings as well.

The National Mall has featured a July 4 concert and fireworks display for decades, but Trump's planned festivities are expected to be much grander in scale. The president has reportedly been heavily involved in planning the ceremonies.

Why there's debate:

Critics argue that Trump is putting himself at the center of the celebration, making the event more about him than Americans as a whole. Others are concerned the celebration will serve as a de facto Trump campaign rally — a major change from what has traditionally been a nonpartisan occasion where previous presidents kept a lower profile. Making politically aimed remarks at the event may even be illegal, some say.

Some have made the case that Trump is dishonoring the military by centering himself in an event that's intended to honor their service. There are also questions about using taxpayer dollars to fund such a massive enterprise, especially when the president may personally make money from it.

This quote from Sero bears repeating:

Is there any rule of conduct or decorum that Trump hasn't broken nearly daily?.
Are there any standards you can hold the next President to without extreme hypocrisy?...
Republicans have no ground left to stand on.

Don't think of it as the 4th of July,...
...think of it as the launching of the Trump for President campaign.

MAGA!!... :P

Trump defends cost of having tanks and military planes at his July 4 celebration

According to the Washington Post, the National Park Service is “diverting nearly $2.5 million in entrance and recreation fees primarily intended to improve parks across the country to cover costs.” The White House has refused to disclose the actual cost of the event.

“The cost of our great Salute to America tomorrow will be very little compared to what it is worth,” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. “We own the planes, we have the pilots, the airport is right next door (Andrews), all we need is the fuel. We own the tanks and all. Fireworks are donated by two of the greats. Nice!”

Like a fukcing child at a fireworks store.

And it's no surprise - the orange one won't disclose how much his little pecker-stroke will cost.

I hope there's a torrential downpour on this joke of a celebration.

Special invitations and access to high dollar doners.

Tell me this ain't a Trump rally on the people's dime.

I hope they make him pay for it.
