Antithetical To The Day

Trump is sort of getting his military parade in DC. But what is most important about this is that Trump is turning it in to a celebration of the military and Trump. Kellyanne Conway thinks this is just swell because why wouldn't we celebrate that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DacaEhZ4tA

Because the 4th of July is about aspiration, it is about hope, it is about community. Yes, we won a war against a greater foe but we did it with ideas and with a ragtag armed group of men and the women who supported them, not with  the biggest most expensive military in the world. When Trump arranges the celebration it is for all the wrong reasons, not the right ones.
