Trump plots Independence Day celebration

President Trump said Tuesday he’s thinking about putting on a Fourth of July parade or other gathering in Washington, D.C.,
suggesting it could "become a tradition,"
even though a similar event already exists.

“It could be a very exciting day,” Trump said, calling it a "salute to America."

"Perhaps at the Lincoln Memorial. We're looking at sites. But we're thinking about doing something which would become perhaps, become a tradition, Salute to America, on July 4th or July 4th weekend, somewhere around that area."

D.C. already has established Fourth of July celebrations that include fireworks along the National Mall, a free concert and a parade down Constitution Avenue.

3. Give him another day or two and he'll be claiming it was his idea to celebrate the Fourth of July.

He has the best ideas. None of the other presidents ever celebrated the birth of our country. But he'll have the most beautiful celebration. You've never seen anything like it.

12. Trump does not want to salute the military. He wants the world to see the military salute him.

Trump does not want to salute the military.
He wants the world to see the military salute him.

Will it be awkward when he refuses POWs a place in his parade?
After all, Donald does not like soldiers who were captured.
