President Trump's grandiose July 4th plan says everything about his presidency | Analysis by stcollinson
His choreography for tanks on the National Mall, war plane flyovers, his own televised address and a longer than normal red, white and blue fireworks display means that even Independence Day -- for generations a rare unifying moment -- will be politicized.Instead of the"Salute to America" that he has proclaimed, Trump's critics fear he's really plotting a salute to himself.
The President's repeated veneration of America's armed forces can come across as hypocritical given that he did not serve and agreed with Howard Stern that sexually transmitted diseases represented his own personal Vietnam. He's also not shied away from attacking military heroes for political gain: He can't let go of his feud with John McCain -- even though the Arizona senator, Vietnam prisoner of war and war hero died nearly a year ago.
