Americans Appalled After Trump Uses July 4th to Attack Democrats and Compare Them to Nazis
Dear God.
First, Happy Independence Day to all our wonderful readers! This day means a lot to all of us, although I think it’s fair to say our true Independence Day will be in November, November 3rd to be exact.
On a day when every single other president has worked hard to make the Fourth of July a non-partisan event that brings the country together, Trump goes full dictator with a nasty and divisive speech that was similar to the garbage speech he gave Friday night at Mount Rushmore.
“American heros defeated the nazis, dethroned the fascists, toppled the communists, saved American values, upheld American principles and chased down the terrorists to the very ends of the earth,” Trump said. “We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters and people who in many instances have absolutely no clue what they are doing.”
Is Trump…is Trump comparing Democrats to Nazis?

Horrific!
Then Trump went nuts and accused the media of slander for correctly labeling him a racist.

And Trump had to bring up the coronavirus, but once again passed the blame to the Chinese. Mind you, every other country in the world has tackled the virus. Every country except for the United States, that is.
On the nation’s 244th birthday, Trump said that America was thriving on his watch until it “got hit by the virus that came from China,” comments that come as the U.S. and multiple states have reported record numbers of coronavirus cases in the past week.
Trump repeated talking points he’s pushed in recent weeks saying that the spike in cases is a result of expanded testing, a claim rejected by the White House’s own experts. He also touted a declining death rate in the U.S., which is still higher than other developed countries.
“And we’ve made a lot of progress, our strategy is moving along well,” Trump said. “It goes out in one area, it rears out its ugly face in another area. But we’ve learned a lot. We’ve learned how to put out the flame.”
Trump is really committed to his talking point that the US only has so many coronavirus cases because of testing, ignoring that we also have the most deaths, a relatively high death rate, and hospitals on the brink of being overrun pic.twitter.com/hrHFjfYIvT

Here’s one of my favorite Trump tics. When he says a word wrong, obviously. But then acts like he meant to say it incorrectly. Quick reminder that Trump likes to accuse Joe Biden of having dementia on a daily basis, and here is Trump unable to say the word “sweeping”:

Considering this should be holiday for ALL AMERICANS, Twitter was disgusted that Trump is out there comparing Democrats to Nazis and calling them Marxists. It’s pathetic.
Take a look:
Wow he's comparing us to Nazis and terrorists on the 4th of July 😱
I just cant anymore….he needs to be forcibly removed before his cult goes out and tries to kill us for him https://t.co/JvUFzSz4n7— Smarie 🦋 (@ShawnRobb3) July 4, 2020
He is bringing us to the brink of a civil war. No where does it make sense to declare people of the opposing party the enemy, comparing them to terrorists. https://t.co/As9S1MWsBi

A president at the white house declaring war on people who don't like him. And it won't even be a blip on the news. https://t.co/VxoesZc4Sy

This man wants to kill his own citizens. That's the loudest dog whistle I've ever heard. https://t.co/l8xFYUyL2Z

To be clear, this racist, fascist PoS just equated protestors in this country with Nazis and terrorists. https://t.co/W6ayNlyLxC

@realDonaldTrump going full dictator, ladies and gentlemen.
His war is against Americans.
Let me repeat that: Donald Trump wants war among Americans. https://t.co/IkiT8IKExv

This is terrifying to me.
That the president of the united states of America, on a day we're supposed to celebrate "freedom," declares people like me, liberals, as an enemy of America, to be chased down and defeated.
That isn't ok. Ever. https://t.co/dhEyzZdHmg

He's trying to divide & conquer, on Independence Day.
Declaring war on those who oppose him. https://t.co/xEIOeaXH6u— 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙚𝙨 20🦗 😷 💔 130,798 💔 (@FrecklesXX20) July 4, 2020
