“For the 'first time in many years', the World War II Memorial and areas around the Reflecting Pool will be open for the public to enjoy a stunning fireworks display and an address by our Commander-in-Chief.

I LOVE it! Trump is the national love-America cheerleader! It’s been SO long since anybody in Congress or the Presidency did something like this — pure unabashed love for the US of A.

They’re already complaining.....

letter, penned by House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and Betty McCollum (D-MN), says the event “could create the appearance of a televised, partisan campaign rally on the Mall at public expense.”

“For decades, the Fourth of July on the National Mall has been non-partisan and apolitical,” they wrote in a letter Thursday. “We respectfully call on you to look for ways to complement, not conflict with, the Fourth of July celebration, such as considering an earlier time or alternative location for your remarks.”

After all the silliness around the numbers at the inauguration, I think he'll really stick this down the media and dems' throats, and rightfully so.

This promises to be pretty damn big. Fingers crossed for good weather that day/evening, but probably won't matter.

LOL! Yep. "A Democrat rebuttal will follow, to be given by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. A Death To America rally will follow sponsored by the Iran Revolutionary Guard. All proceeds go to Hezbollah."

He’s ‘Invited the Country’ to come and Celebrate together.....Trumps always says the White House and such are THE PEOPLES! Even moreso he believes it!

It won’t matter is right.....Trumpers are like warriors and the weather won’t deter them if they choose to go there. Look at his Orlando Rally.....they stood in pelting rain until the Center opened and let them in. Nothing was going to deter them!

Where are the FReepers bitching about Trump wanting a military parade early in his term? Did they ‘go away’ or something?
