It's been done before.

President Donald Trump commanded his followers on Sunday to "HOLD THE DATE" on July 4 for a celebration of the United States complete with a Presidential address.

The tweet didn't go over well.


Few know better than historian Michael Beschloss that history tends to repeat itself, so when he saw the President's tweet announcing "A Salute To America," he connected some dots and posted some photos from another infamous president's July 4 celebration.

The photos show determined protestors wading through the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during President Richard Nixon's July 4 fete.

The rebuke of Trump was subtle, but people still got the message.

That wasn't all.Similar to Trump's "A Salute to America," organizers of the "Honor America Day" in 1970 sought to slap a band-aid of unquestioning patriotism onto a deeply divided country. With the day occurring only weeks after America's incessant bombing of Cambodia and the carnage at Kent State, Many Americans were more outraged than moved, leading the day to be marred by protests that more fittingly illustrated America at the time.

Some Americans had a special connection to the 1970 photo.

Again, history tends to repeat itself.

Americans seem determined to make Trump hear their voices on Independence Day. They're certainly holding the date.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
