Trump plans 4th of July parade/celebration

Trump announced that he’s planning to hold a similar July 4 event he planned last year that featured a military display that cost $2.5 million.

“On July 4 we’ll be doing what we had at the mall, as you know doing it last year was a tremendous success, I would imagine we’ll do it — hopefully I can use the term forever,” Trump said. “It was a great success.”

Asked if it would be safe to have a big gathering on the National Mall on July 4, Trump said “we’re going to probably have 25 percent of what he had last year.”

The federal government's guidelines recommend avoiding social gatherings of more than 10 people and call for individuals to maximize the distance from others while in public amid the coronavirus pandemic. Public health experts have warned against crowds in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

150,000 deaths from the virus bu July 4. Can trump even do simple math? Nobody's going to go to any mall rally when most likely just about everryone in the country will have been touched by family member or friend's death.

He told us he has the best brain in the world.

He never told us whose brain it is, and if he keeps it in a jar.
