According to the Associated Press, Trump’s 4th of July celebration is “a mystery”. I guess that’s the polite way of saying “a shitshow of epic proportions”.
Isn’t this normally an event that draws hundred of thousands of people to DC? Hundreds of thousands incoming with no destination and no security plan? Is that wise? :dubious:
Trump could use a lesson on successful event planning from his buddies Kim and Vlad.
I think he’s conflicted on the event. On the one hand, lot’s of people will show up. On the other, the majority will be protesters. I guess satellite images can be doctored to hide the protest signs, but how do you keep the pesky fake news media from taking photos?
They’re probably working on plans to have only the State Media (Fox News) covering the event. No other newspapers or TV. The State Media will report on what Dear Leader wants us to know.
No need to. Just keep yelling fake news and the base will eat it up.
Ooh, I’ll be the city government could get Speaker Pelosi to write a nice letter for them.
Classic often repeated relevant Trope.
I am of the opinion that Trump has been so sheltered that he truly has no idea what most people actually think of him. He may be in for a surprise.
From a previous thread I started about this:
He knows exactly what people think of him and why. He’s known it his entire worthless life and every day is just another reminder of his long list of failures. Narcissism and pathological lying are his only coping mechanisms of survival.
"A shitshow of epic proportions: sums up the Trump Presidency perfectly.
Sparklers and the White House staff in the rose garden. It’s going to be epic.
Catering by McDonalds.
So where is the Kickstarter/GoFundMe to buy mass quantities of tomatoes and distribute them to the crowd?
You know, because people might get hungry. 
I’m just going to lay this out here: Trump can’t plan a two car parade. Ultimately, there will be no Trump speech on the Fourth of July.
That’s my prediction. I hope I’m not proven wrong.
There’s already a protest afoot. They’re planning on the angry baby Trump balloon, plus tees showing the same character, and encouraging people to go to carry air horns and use them liberally (ha!).
You know, I hate parade balloons. But that’s one ugly ass balloon I would be happy to see permanently parked in full view of the White House.
As a non-resident of DC, I ask, what were the last two celebrations like? Did Il Douche stay away?
The more I think about this, the less sense it makes. Surely, where to hold a speech is something that the President has the authority to decide unilaterally. So if he wants it in front of the Lincoln Memorial, all he has to do is tell one of his staff “I want to speak at the Lincoln Memorial on July 4. Make all the arrangements.”. Or, even if he’s forgotten to do this, I’d expect the appropriate staffer (presumably someone with the Secret Service, because it involves security) would ask “Where would you like to give your Fourth of July speech, sir?” “The Lincoln Memorial.” “Very well, Mr. President, shall I make the arrangements?”
About the only possibility I can think of is that he wants Lincoln, but one of his staff has made some argument for why the Washington Monument is better, and he’s too phobic to make a decision.
I’m guessing it was a really, really slow news day.
I bet he’s already demanded that the statue of Lincoln be removed so that he could sit in the giant chair to give his huge speech.
Trump making a public appearance before a crowd that wasn’t vetted, invited, and/or paid? I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’s going to be at the site of the future Trump Monument.
