Thank heaven the poorly planned poorly executed July 4 trump boondoggle and speech is over. At times it looked like a 6th grade history lesson read by someone in kindergarten, at other times it looked like the usual trump act of kissing up to the military. Overall, the optics were horrendous — trump with well brushed and well sprayed hair behind a sheet of plexiglass streaming with rainwater in front of his face, struggling to read words, written for him by the usual gang of racists and xenophobes.
I watched glimpses of it; hopefully some of you had stronger stomachs to watch the whole crap show.
Here are some comments during the speech and some reactions to it —
The Coast guard brigade in WWII plunging from helicopters?
Bet they were stealth helicopters since nobody saw them.
Airports in 1775? Ft. McHenry too? Why not? His writers are dumb as rocks too.
Cornwallis of Yorktown? He was British.
#RevolutionaryWarAirportStories is hilarious. Check it out.
Rain during the day -
It rained all day, some times heavier than others. The weather map looked like this at 7:00 p.m., during the jingoistic speech.
The weather forecast at 10:00 p.m. as the fireworks show ends and the rain moves out of DC. Coincidence? Divine intervention?
trump even tweeted about the “good weather”.
Unfortunately true.
LoL!
The crowd was bored. But they don’t care. They are puppets.
But his hair stayed dry!
Do water droplets magnify crowd sizes?
Amen.
The extravagant fireworks were a dud too —
The smoke invaded DC -
What a waste of tax-payer money and a debasement of Independence Day.
What are your impressions?
