What can we say about President Trump's efforts to commemorate our country's 250th birthday?
The reflecting pool grew algae, the ice cream melted, the speakers fell from the stage, but it wasn't all bad.
The fireworks slapped, and Trump repaired the glorious fountain at Malcolm X Park in D.C.

Locals showed up to demand the National Guard get out of D.C.
Law and order is something all Americans deserve.
Black, white, rich, poor man or woman from D.C.
Or far-flung places in this country.
Kind of curious Pete decided to go Rainbow Coalition on him because over at the Pentagon, he's been firing generals
and blocking promotions, and a lot of the people losing out are women and or black.
