Trump’s takeover of the 4th of July is complete.  The Park Service is having to shift millions of dollars over from other projects to accommodate his Miss America style display, and he’s taken over the Mall for himself.  He’s going to hold a political rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, take the entire area around the reflecting pool in front of the memorial for his high dollar donors, and use US military personnel as props for his cheesy Salute to America Twitterfingers’ Tiny Hands.  He’s going to park tanks on the mall, move the picnic honoring military families away from the South Lawn of the WH to the Mall, bring the Blue Angels back from holiday leave to do a fly over of the Mall, and, of course use Air Force One as his own.

He’s moved the fireworks down to Potomac Park and made it larger than the Bicentennial display in 1976 using private donations.  Even worse, the Smithsonians’ Folk Life Festival, a 10 day celebration that has been held over the 4th for over 50 years was cut down to 2 days, and ended this weekend.  It was shortened because Trump’s idiotic government shutdown over the holidays  caused planning to be also shut down making it impossible to hold the entire event.  Thanks for nothing, Donnie.  And, all of this will likely cost well over $100 million before he’s finished.  All we need are banners of Trump’s likeness carried by young MAGA sycophants goose stepping down Constitution Ave.

Two bright spots are planned, though…first, the Trump Baby blimp has been approved to fly over the event, and several veterans organizations will be handing out USS John McCain t shirts for vets to wear

I cannot describe in words how much I despise this worthless thing who inflicts himself on the American people 24/7.  He’s stolen our culture, our elections, our economy, our soul, our history, our traditions, common decency, and now even our national holiday to honor – himself.

Fuck him.  There.  I said it.
