Trump Sings Praises Of American Exceptionalism In Elaborate July 4 Salute
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Trump didn’t make a single political statement during his speech today and instead honored every branch of the military.
CBS, ABC, NBC, and MSNBC all refused to air it.

Huge crowd, despite the earlier rain. His speech really made the leftist crazy attacks on him seem extra petty.
Via Fox News:
With the Lincoln Memorial in the background and flanked on both sides by camouflaged Bradley fighting vehicles, President Trump used his “Salute to America” speech Thursday evening to praise the men and women of the Armed Forces and American exceptionalism.
Despite concerns that he would use the Fourth of July event as a glorified campaign rally, Trump stuck mainly to the script during his speech – praising the spirit that “runs through the veins of every American patriot” and attempting to strike a more unifying and conciliatory tone than he is generally known to take.
“Today, we come together as one nation with this very special Salute to America,” a smiling Trump said. “We celebrate our history, our people, and the heroes who proudly defend our flag — the brave men and women of the United States military.”
From George Washington leading the Continental Army to the Apollo 11 moon landing, Trump rattled off a list of American accomplishments and inventions in the name of freedom, while surreptitiously sneaking in a boast about his administration’s accomplishments.
“Americans love our freedom and no one will ever take it away from us,” Trump said to chants of “U-S-A.” “Our nation is stronger today than it ever was before, it is stronger now stronger than ever.”

Why would any of the major networks change their schedule to show this? They've never shown 4th of July shows from the nations capital on the major networks, it is always on PBS.
I watched Trump's show on CBSN, which they showed without any pundit commentary or any other announcer.
On the whole it was an embarrassment, although I guess seeing the military planes come directly over the crowd was pretty cool. Trump is WAY in over his head when he tries to narrate something like this. He's not that good at reading, quite frankly. Had they hired an actor to do the military narration it would have been a better show. But the whole thing was about Trump so of course he was the narrator, disastrously.
It was a gathering and speech that makes one proud to be anAmerican. Everyone I’ve spoken with is so proud of President Trump and our nation.
at our Senior resort gathering for the 4th, hundreds of us seniors cheered the president. Most of the men are Veterans and we agreed that we miss that kind of patriotic display.
so the left can mock and criticize all they want, but millions of us are very proud tonight of our president, our military, and our nation
Let's see they are inherently biased and have lied to the American public for about 3 years!. I guess there's no going back now, John, is there?
Kind of like what happened to Newsvine and is what is happening here. It's July 5th, 1:30 PM EST and outside of this seed, just about every seed on the front page is a leftist double down of the false narrative concerning the 4th of July events, which we were told would be a massive demonstration of military might combined with a political speech. No guilt or remorse on the part of liberals, instead they go on.
There were about a half dozen instances in the narration where the crowd was supposed to cheer, but didnt, because of the poor reading given the lines by Trump. Then he would stop and wait for the crowd to clap. Amateur hour.
The Trump 4th of July festivities were impressive, especially to those who are unable to grasp the meaning of the impress.
All is good. The detention centers are doing well. Something about airfields in The Revolutionary War was enlightening. Ivanka was nearby. And just as well that the cost to the taxpayers for 'the event' is a secret. After all, in Trumpian World the best spent money is someone else's.
It just a formality, they walk right into the country from there.
Something about airfields in The Revolutionary War was enlightening.
About as enlightening as an American President thinking Lincoln "founded" the GOP. The difference is the media covered for Obama's mistake, didn't they?
And just as well that the cost to the taxpayers for 'the event' is a secret.
translation: those who complained about it don't know the cost!
After all, in Trumpian World the best spent money is someone else's.
Suddenly liberals, or should I say Socialists are concerned about spending!
In a very nice wet "tee shirt" ensemble, white with rainbow stripes.
Sorry, I could not find it "above".
.
A few years ago, many conservatives and others, here and there on other social media had a melt down because
Obama wore a tan suit.
Then they lost their minds when Michelle Obama went sleeveless.
Now whatever Mrs. Trump reveals is suddenly just dandy with everyone.
Why is that?
Just saying, she has a very nice smile.....
Well, #6 is "below", not "above" and does not contain the same picture.
I thought the point(s) were self evident...
How can the picture be off topic in any way?
It might violate FaceBook's new silly policy about modesty and nipples bit I will have to check with the RA and get back to you about that.
When you made it part of the topic in comment 5.2.1. instead of declaring it off topic.
Come, on. You know the rules. right?
No, I did not know, too bad, so sad.
Well that just makes it ten times worse doesn't it?
Whoooowhooooooo thanks for "pointing" out my "error" - It's Melania's nipples, not Ivanka's.
Well it was considered art, not at the time, but later, lol.
Those are picture from the actual event. The left wing media likes photos from about 9 hours prior!
No doubt, pictures of a few dozen thousand people out of a country of 333 million are meaningful /s
Any reason why West Patomac Park in the right side of the photo is empty?
Another excuse as to the time or weather?
Attendance records are the best kept secret in DC this weekend.
Even those who claim to know, won't say.
American Exceptionalism
While I am proud to be an American ( when some politician is not shaming us with their stupidity ), there is nothing more exceptional about us than any other human beings.
Many cultures have had their moment in the sun, we should enjoy ours while it lasts.
I think of the 4th of July as a day when families and friends gather and go to a picnic where they play softball and eat hot dogs and potato salad and gather at nightfall to watch the town fireworks by the lake or at the local high school football stadium.
Trump thinks of it as obliterating other nations.
-
Trump has to make the day about the military and feats of armed strength because he could never in a million years speak about the Enlightenment principles of political philosophy that led up to the Declaration of Independence.
That's a strange interpretation
Trump has to make the day about the military
Damn right! Don't like it - replay Obama's apology tour and hold hands with AOC!
No, I'm sorry, I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
GOD BLESS THE USA! 6
