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? Classic often repeated relevant [Trope](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y2R01k4SXI). 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: > [@How will Trump's 4th of July address pan out?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-will-trumps-4th-of-july-address-pan-out/833954/1): > > But in actuality the crowd will be made primarily of locals who: (1) vote reliably vote Democrat over Republican by a[factor of twelve to 1](https://www.270towin.com/states/District_of_Columbia); (2) largely work for the federal government, and so still have bitter feeling towards their being used as pawns in his shutdown fight over the stupid border wall; (3) probably feel the same way as I do about having what is normally a nice day for a picnic, fireworks, good music, and a chance to feel good about their country transformed into an event celebrating a man that is the embodiment of everything that is making them feel bad about it. Needless to say, its not going to be the friendly crowd of MAGA heads that Trump is used to. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/july-4-2019-trumpendence-day/835425)._
