A sprawling state fair on the National Mall. Military fly-overs galore. The most powerful fireworks display known to man. And, most importantly, a primetime speech from the president himself, one he promised would be \u201creally long\u201d in what seemed like a direct challenge to the implement weather forecasted to hit Washington, D.C., on the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=316\">Ex-NFL Star and Podcaster Marcellus Wiley Arrested for Domestic Battery<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe weather was indeed inclement. The heat led to the cancellation of the Independence Day Parade, and later in the day incoming thunderstorms led to the evacuation of the National Mall. It was a chaotic scene, but Trump vowed to soldier on, claiming on Truth Social that he\u2019d wait until 2:00 a.m. if he had to, and that, actually, storms mean good luck. \u201cIt\u2019s Saturday night, LET\u2019S HAVE SOME FUN,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTrump toggled from party boy to brave patriot warrior as the night wore on. Bret Baier of Fox News recalled telling Trump that he may not be talking to very many people if he delayed his speech to the early hours of the morning. Trump was undeterred: \u201cHe said, \u2018I don\u2019t care. It\u2019s America 250. If they can storm the beaches of D-Day on D-Day, I can deliver a speech and keep this program going.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tTrump evoking D-Day before giving a rally speech is absurd, of course, and it wasn\u2019t the only bizarre reference to history he made as he tried to commemorate the nation\u2019s semiquincentennial.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHe started with the nation\u2019s founding. The First Amendment lays out the right to practice religion, and the founders explicitly called for the separation of church and state. Trump the the Republican Party, however, have long pushed the idea that America is for Christians first and foremost, and that everyone else should be grateful to be here if not forcibly eradicated. Trump clumsily brought God into his telling of the story of America on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAs our Declaration of Independence tells us, we are all made in the image of one almighty god,\u201d he said, adding that \u201ca communist will never say that, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=314\">The Man Who Took on Charles Manson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tHe\u2019s right about the last part, at least, because the Declaration of Independence does not say this. The closest it comes is saying that \u201call men are created equal\u201d and that they are \u201cendowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tSpeaking of liberty, while listing a string of American accomplishments Trump stumbled into a new moniker for the nation. \u201cThey really just tamed the wilderness and conquered the frontier,\u201d he touted. \u201cAnd built the empire \u2014 it\u2019s called the empire of liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDon\u2019t we all just love to celebrate the anniversary of the Empire of Liberty?<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTrump continued to demonstrate his historical bona fides by noting that the Civil War \u2014 particularly someone escaping slavery and joining the Union army \u2014 was \u201ca very big, big deal at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt may have been a big deal at the time, but not as much anymore, apparently, as Trump and his administration have taken great pains to rehabilitate the image of Confederate figureheads \u2014 from restoring their names to military bases to ensuring their statues are keep in pristine shape.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTrump can\u2019t speak eloquently about history because he couldn\u2019t care less about it. He cares about himself, and his rambling rally speech on Saturday is far from the only way he\u2019s tried to make the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary a celebration of Trump. He thinks he is America and that the federal government \u2014 its levers of power and the taxpayer money it collects \u2014\u00a0is his to use as he see fits. It\u2019s why he and his cronies keep getting richer and richer while the rest of the nation remains mired in a cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=312\">Why Independence Day is About Us \u2014 Not a Single Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tHappy birthday, America!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump made bizarre or inaccurate comments about the nation&#8217;s founding, the Civil War, and World War II during his America 250 speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-big-deal"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
