If you didn't already miss him.

President Donald Trump's long-sought Fourth of July celebration—featuring military tanks, flyovers, and perks for Trump campaign donors—finally came to fruition with his July 4th "Salute to America" event.

Former White House photographer for President Barack Obama, Pete Souza, is no stranger to trolling Trump, which he routinely does simply by posting photos of President Obama on Instagram to draw the stark contrast between Obama and the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.


And this Fourth of July was no different, as Souza proved with photos taken of former President Obama celebrating the nation's independence when he was president.

Including:

"July 4, 2009: Watching the fireworks from the roof of the White House."

"July 4, 2012: Greeting military families on the South Lawn of the White House."

"July 4, 2010: Uncle Sam."

"July 4, 2013: Listening to the Marine Band before making remarks to military families."

People couldn't help but draw contrast to that of Donald Trump's.

And everyone made it clear how much they missed the Obamas.

Thank you, Mr. Souza, for capturing these moments.

You can purchase Pete Souza's book of photos comparing President Obama to Donald Trump, Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents, here.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
