4th of July is supposed to be a celebration of America, Americans of ALL RACES are supposed to be included on this.

Why is he allowed to make 4th of July about just a specific kind of Americans? Will minorities get their own 4th of July equivalent date to celebrate then?

I am sad :(

"Do you know the Fourth of July is a celebration of this country's independence, are you aware of that?" White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway asked a reporter on Tuesday morning in response to his question about the planned celebration. When the reporter replied in the affirmative, Conway said this: "You are? You know what happened July 4, 1776? OK. Because it doesn't sound like you're even talking about the patriotism that undergirds it."


"if you don't bow down to our tanks you don't love america enough"....Fuck off and stop trying to tell me what it means to "Love your country".

Americans of all races serve in our armed forces. I'm not sure why you're bringing race into this.

It's not a maga rally, it's showing support for our military. We have pride month, black history month and a bunch of other similar holidays/celebrations. What's wrong with having one day out of the year to recognize our veterans? Is this somehow going to ruin the barbecues or fireworks shows that people are attending?

He's still jealous that other countries do this

North Korea*

He wants to be just like his new buddy Kim. Kim parades out the military with tanks and forces the onlookers to cheer and be happy. Trump is going to do the same thing and Conway is already implying that if we don't cheer loud enough were not patriotic enough and might not love the country enough.

And what race isn't included in this celebration? You are really grasping at straws here.

France and the UK too...

Trump was even at one of the parades a year or 2 ago in France with tanks driving right by.

Nothing wrong with showing off some cool stuff.

Maybe we should have a Homeless Veterans of Vietnam Day?
But then we would have to remember that. That's not patriotic.
