July 4th is the one day of the year we should all be united to celebrate our country.

Donald Trump has found a way to divide people over July the Fourth!

It is not the day for us to celebrate our military - it is a day for us to celebrate our freedoms. Otherwise, the freedoms may not last much longer.

It is the work of a tyrant to attempt to put tanks in the city of Washington, DC.

Instead, we should be drinking beer and eating hotdogs. We should be talking to our neighbors over the fence. We should be flying our flags. We should be having fun with our families. We should be enjoying our national parks. We should appreciate the freedoms we have.

But, Trump wants to blame the Democrats for not wanting the tanks in our Capitol. They are un-American, he says. He seeks to divide.

Beware.

into another one of his nauseating rallies, you watch! Because it's always all about him. Except this time he gets tanks just like a real banana republic leader. I wouldn't be surprised to see him come out wearing a sash full of medals and gold epaulets and wearing mirrored sunglasses.

I foresee Trump turning all those challenge coins into medallions he can wear on a uniform. Lord knows there's a lot of real estate to cover.

As usual, Trump wants to turn something universally popular and benign into a self-serving display of rightwing jingoism.

Good friends, celebration and fireworks just like every year.

On that day I won't be thinking of him at all.
