But they offered “free water refill and misting stations.” Trump wanted people to stay there all day to satisfy his need for attention. If you didn’t stay up to watch the speech, you didn’t miss anything:No firearms allowed at Trump’s July 4th festivities pic.twitter.com/1RZTXqpbRL

“As he did one night earlier at Mount Rushmore, Mr. Trump used the nation’s birthday to scaremonger about Democrats four months before the midterms (he talked a lot again about ‘communism’) and demand that Congress pass an act that would make it harder to vote,” the Times’ Shawn McCreesh wrote early Sunday morning.Trump didn’t, either.

I think he cribbed the town Bircher at the 1962 town meeting in my town. It was a lot more entertaining back then.
ReplyDeleteMTG started that “Communist “ stuff when she was still wandering the Capitol grounds looking for a camera. Unless you were born in at least the ‘50!’s, you don’t remember anything about the Red Scare (its last vestige was the “domino theory” behind the excuse to continue the Vietnam War). By the end of the ‘60’s even Nixon wasn’t standing on his red-baiting past.
ReplyDeleteMTG got it from the fever swamps, but Trump remembers it. And thinks everybody else under 80 does, too. And it’s pretty much all he’s got for the midterms.
