The president turns the Washington Mall into Red Square.
President Trump somehow resisted the urge to turn his “Salute to America” on the National Mall into a political rally. But that would have been almost preferable to the boringly jingoistic speech he did give. He delivered a lesson on American history from the Founding Fathers to the present day, dropping such names as Clara Barton, Lewis and Clark, George Washington and the Wright Brothers, among many, many others. He reserved his greatest enthusiasm for “Douglass, you know.
“Dating is like being in Vietnam,” Trump said to the shock jock. “It’s the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam. It’s like war out there.” The event was televised on only two networks, State Television, excuse me, Fox News Channel, and C-SPAN. You could forgive the latter, because what else were they going to broadcast at that hour? They’ve got a lot of airtime to fill. Trump was shown through a plastic shield that was streaked with rain because of the inclement weather.
