To the Editor:
The Constitutional Congress anticipated that future presidents – even if they abused truth and democratic principles, cultivated avaricious appetites, or abandoned any semblance of “sacred honor” – would always face the seminal power of this nation: “We, the People.” We have the power to demand the integrity, effort, and commitment from government that our Founding Ancestors envisioned in framing our exceptional American Freedom from tyranny, celebrated on July 4th.
But somebody made this year’s Glorious 250th Fourth of July Birthday Party a scorching forced march rather than a Grand Celebratory Parade: “Your favorite president – ME!” First his 80th birthday party (and “beard” of Flag Day) that featured bloody contests to amuse old, rich donors, then the “Great American State Fair,” funded by donations embezzled from the 2016 congressionally appointed 250th Celebration Committee to Trump’s control. That last fact induced most scheduled entertainers to cancel when they realized the fraud, and sealed Trumpian tackiness of the events.
Trump’s glorious Fair had one Ferris Wheel, a few lukewarm and very expensive eats, videos of ahistorical Americana (e.g., the Salem “witches” were hanged, not burned at the stake); “baptism pools” (bacteria count?), Independence Fireworks that started at the stroke of midnight, July 5; and sparse attendance, except for 400 Confederate flag-bearing masked men on July 4th , marching around DC to “reclaim the country and get rid of immigrants” (one example of why liberals think there are a lot of white nationalist racists in MAGA. If you are MAGA and somehow not racist, my apologies).
To be fair, the nearly 100-degree weather in humid DC may have kept many people home from Trump’s Event. One Republican spokesperson attributed the lack of attendance to, “someone with an extreme case of TDS [who] geoengineered this weather in [the] same way they geoengineered Trump’s inauguration to be one of the coldest in U.S. history.” Just another cabal of liberal, subversive, America-hating, low-IQ but mad-genius, party-poopers.
The culmination of the Grand Event was Trump’s late-evening political rally as master of ceremonies (to replace the declined entertainment). The DC police and APCD warned people to take cover from the elements and protect against the noxious fumes of 850 shelled fireworks. But first, President Bone-Spurs wheeled out several military centenarians, at 11:30 PM in the presence of thunder and lightning, for teleprompted, 30-second war vignettes and, before the honorees could focus, 86’d them back offstage. They got more respect on the beaches of Normandy.
Another holiday option was to lounge around the fenced, non-reflecting Trump Pool and its murky, algae-infested, no bid, 8 times over estimate toxic brew, which Trump emotionally and groundlessly insists was sabotaged by criminal, far-Left “animals” with boxcutters, against whom he demands prosecution for even touching the floating, decomposing sealant/liner over which Trump and his limousine entourage drove just after installation.
Reminder Redux: if you incessantly self-congratulate on your own magnificence – smarter, grander, more charismatic, and tougher than all past presidents, generals, scientists, subject experts, and even the Pope – everyone…even those who smooch your patootie for a living…knows you’re not.
