WASHINGTON - On a day meant for unity and celebration, President Donald Trump vowed to “safeguard our values” from enemies within - leftists, looters, agitators, he said - in a Fourth of July speech packed with all the grievances and combativeness of his political rallies.
“We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters, and the people who, in many instances, have absolutely no clue what they are doing,” he said. “We will never allow an angry mob to tear down our statues, erase our history, indoctrinate our children.
Even as officials across the country pleaded with Americans to curb their enthusiasm for large Fourth of July crowds, Trump enticed the masses with a “special evening” of tribute and fireworks staged with new U.S. coronavirus infections on the rise.
Trump did not hesitate to use the country’s birthday as an occasion to assail segments of the country that do not support him.
Carrying on a theme he pounded on a day earlier against the backdrop of the Mount Rushmore monuments, he went after those who have torn down statues or think some of them, particularly those of Confederate figures, should be removed. Support has been growing among Republicans to remove Confederate memorials.
“Our past is not a burden to be cast away,” Trump said.
Trump did not dwell on the pandemic in his remarks Saturday evening. Instead, he declared that “our country is in great shape.”
Trump has been aching to see the nation return to normalcy, and has been willing to push the envelope farther than many states and big city mayors are willing to go.
For Trump and the country, it was yet another holiday clouded by a pandemic that the U.S. has failed to bring under control.

With all of the liberal indoctrination rags going apesh*t, it looks like the Trump bombadier was right on target!
Because the media is so unifying.
The Trump show at Mt Rushmore and the White House was a call to war. He trashed everything the leftists hold dear. He verbally beat the crap out of them and then hit them while down with a magnificent display of air power and fire works.
When viewing the set at Mt Rushmore, I was reminded of the lame and actually drab psuedoRoman set on Which Obama appeared to receive the nomination. Trump produced a magnificently patriotic setting and proved that he is a spectacular show man quite capable of verbally destroying the American enemies that are his opposition
I expect the Mt Rushmore set is to be seen again and again after the campaign opening appearance.
If you missed them, the addresses are on you tube. Both are now spectacular history
These hysterical shrieks from the left are getting funnier every day.
Trying to bring us together: /s
‘Joe Biden, said in a statement that the U.S. “never lived up” to its founding principle that “all men are created equal,”’
[NEVER?!??!? electing a half-black not enough?]
Don’t let these two punks get away with this! Find them and give them a dose of rage and fury. To their face! Make them hear the truth and submit to it.
Well, much of our MSM just posts AP content verbatim, anyway. The TV anchors are more suspicious when they read the same lines, almost word-for-word, straight off of the daily DNC e-mail. A little editing would add verisimilitude - but they can’t be bothered with even that much work. :)
notice how the author of this swill avoids mentioning the attacks on statues of Grant, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and numerous others who were not Confederates (as if lawlessly destroying them is OK), they even set a statue of an elk on fire in Portland. Maybe it was a white supremacist elk.
So celebrating what should unite us divided us? Sure, tell me another.
“Free speech with which they disagree is now defined as “hate speech” and is being punished by government, employers and institutions.”
Yes, my way or the highway. Of course, this whole thing could be turned around overnight were we to suddenly have an actual media, not an arm of the left.
