Three senior Capitol Hill Democrats sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Thursday encouraging him to curb his planned speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on July 4.
The letter, authored by far-left House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and communist Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and Betty McCollum (D-MN), says the event “could create the appearance of a televised, partisan campaign rally on the Mall at public expense.”
They claim if he gives the speech, he will make it a partisan event. The fact is he is the President and it’s only partisan if they make an issue of it. It’s more likely they are concerned he will look good to the public, although they could be sincere. That’s always a possibility.
Trump’s secretary of the Interior, David Bernhardt, already spoke to a Senate Appropriations subpanel last month and assured those members that Trump’s remarks would be non-partisan.
Trump first announced plans for the event back in February. Their request probably has the opposite effect.
HOLD THE DATE! We will be having one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C., on July 4th. It will be called “A Salute To America” and will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!

Democrats like to pretend that Lincoln, the father of the Republican Party, is a Democrat. This isn’t an image they appreciate. President Trump told Piers Morgan in London this week that he really admires Abraham Lincoln.
If only there was a monument to President Jefferson Davis in DC where the Democrats could rally around their President.
Are you kidding me? Neither Pres. Davis nor other Confederate folks would be flattered knowing that Communists and Fascists want to rally around a statue of Jefferson Davis. NO BLOODY WAY!!!! A better analogy would be a statue of Stalin or Mao tse Tung. That would definitely bring on a swarm of Demonrat thugs.
Why am I not surprised by this continuation of the commies in our legislative branch to quiet the POTUS. The leftists(dims, commies, progs, etc.) are scared sh*tless that as President Donald J. Trump continues to talk directly to “We the People” with his unifying messages, they will stand no chance of reclaiming power in 2020.
Everything they have done thus far has been an attempt to shut him up and shut his progress down in righting this ship of state. This “request” is just another attempt to shut him up. Ain’t gonna happen.
With the upcoming investigations into the attempted coup perps, the 4th of July may be just the perfect time to reveal the initial reports of same. And begin the roundup of those traitors.
Popcorn will be needed, and lots of it.
MAGA/KAG 2020.
Trump should not only be there, but he should remind Americans that the Democrats were responsible for the Civil War, the KKK, voting against the Dyer Anti-Lynching law, opposition to the 1957 and 1964 Civil Rights Acts, etc. Roast them slowly.
I’m surprised they haven’t claimed outright ownership of the Washington Mall and put up “No Trespassing” signs for Republicans. Horrible Harry Reid wanted to block “sweaty & smelly” tourists from the Senate building.
You mean Abe “First Republican President of the United States” Lincoln? Fuck the Dems.
