President Trump has apparently taken charge of this year’s Fourth of July celebration in Washington, D.C., and will possibly give a personal address, angering some Democrats who fear the president will politicize the holiday.

City officials in the nation's capital were notified of Trump’s plan to address the nation on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and move the traditional fireworks display from the Capitol Reflecting Pool to the nearby West Potomac Park, the Washington Post reported.

“The 4th of JULY is the most political day in the entire world. How do you think it came about?”

Which is, of course, why the Dems will howl about it. The Left will do everything in their power to disrupt it up to and including violence. Antifa will be out in force, mark my words. It’s too big a target for them not to.

As a local I don't know why the President would do any of this. There's never been speeches before, maybe he could get involved in the traditional entertainment program? And the Park will significantly obstruct the view of the fireworks. The entire area is frozen by the amount of people in attendance.

Obama addressed the nation on the 4th of July every year of his administration. Was he not a politician that day?

You sir know nothing about American History.

Go read old newspaper account on July 4th celebration. The celebration almost always included political and patriotic speeches.

There were also parades which included veterans of our wars.

The American flag would be flown by all.

So if President Trump wants to give a political speech, he should do so.

If the left’s collected head explodes, well that is just a bonus.

There have been plenty of speeches before. Obama addressed the Nation on the 4th of July every year of his administration.

This is going to be a teaching moment for Trump to the millennials who were never taught the real history of our country. And what patriotism means.

Where do you think the Whitehouse is in relation to the millions of people at the event. Plenty of celebrating right on the Whitehouse lawn....food and all.

Reminding/teaching Americans the reason for INDEPENDENCE DAY is NOT political...unless you’re a Democrat!

The dems are looking more and more like Wile E. Coyote to Trump's Roadrunner.

Remember, Trump can never win... TRUMP CAN NEVER WIN!

The 4th of July celebration has, from the day it started, been a nonpartisan celebration of the country.


What history books do you read? It has always been political!

They know that when President Trump decides to address us, millions upon millions tune in to hear what he has to say - and when he speaks, he almost always hits it out of the park...

This from blood sucking grave dancers who just politicized a memorial for a student that one of their own killed.
