It is atrocious that Trump is abusing his status as president to turn this pre-Independence Day celebration, funded by taxpayers, into a campaign event. It's now just a verbal version of his Twitter rants - toxic, divisive & full of lies.
#MountRushmore
A real leader, & president with class, would use this opportunity to express a message of hope & unity. But not Trump. He's used it as yet another chance to TRASH those who oppose his presidency & those who challenge the status quo in this nation.

Met with chants of USA, USA, USA.
And "we love you!"
I can't.
There's a lot of trash being spoken by Trump at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota right now.
"We only kneel to Almighty God. This is who we are. This what we believe."
No it's not. This is not a religious nation. It's a secular nation.
And it's all the more offensive that a non-Christian FRAUD is playing the religion card.
Now Trump is going on & on about some mythical enemy whose goal it is to "end America" & take power for themselves. In reality he is describing HIMSELF. His projection is really extreme - everything he accuses others of is that which he is doing HIMSELF.
"We will not be intimidated by bad, evil people"
You know who "they" are? Every single one of us who doesn't support Trump's presidency. We are all branded as "bad & evil" - it's disgusting that a U.S. president speaks this way about 50-60% of the population.
Now he's announcing a new "park" which will honor "giants" of our past with, you guessed it, more statues.
Who will get to decide who those "giants" are? Trump & his psychopathic administration? Or a nation of 330 million people?
Trump spent about 70% of the speech in re-election mode, trashing all opposition to his presidency & his authoritarian ways. "The best is yet to come" he said - yes, once Trump is OUT of the White House.
