Obama Vs Trump: How A Real Leader Celebrates July 4th
Tuesday is America’s 241st birthday, but the president isn’t spending this weekend at the White House celebrating—he’s in New Jersey.

On Friday, after Donald Trump met with and gave a joint statement alongside South Korea’s Moon Jae-in, the commander-in-chief and his wife left Washington for Bedminster, New Jersey. They’re scheduled to stay at the Trump National Golf Club there through Monday, NJ.com reported. It’s his third time at his so-called Summer White House since he was inaugurated earlier this year.

Though Trump flew back to D.C. for a Saturday-night "Celebrate Freedom" concert honoring veterans and will be back in Washington for Independence Day itself, his decision to spend July Fourth weekend largely away from the country’s capital may raise some eyebrows.

This is especially true because Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, had a habit of throwing big July Fourth concerts to honor military service members and give staffers a chance to celebrate. In 2016, the event featured rapper Kendrick Lamar; in 2012 the White House welcomed country singer Brad Paisley. For years, Obama’s Independence Day was a party—he held babies and served barbecue and regularly led attendees in singing “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who, coincidentally, was born on July 4.

This year, the festivities will be a lot calmer. The first lady and Trump will also welcome service members and their relatives to the South Lawn on Tuesday for recognition and a picnic, Vanity Fair reported. Then they’ll end the night by checking out a fireworks show with White House employees and their families.

So Obama throws a party for veterans, Trump golfs at his luxury resort. Who's the elitist again?

I really do not see a problem him being away on the weekend. July 4th was on a Tuesday stupid DUmmy he honored the military as it plainly states in the article. Obozo partied for 8 straight years.

So, Obama threw big parties with performances by entertainers (I'm sure that rapper was just adored by those of the over-40 crowd ... not!). Trump threw a quieter big party, where people could socialize and maybe even chat with DJT, Melania, or even Barron. I'd pick the quieter and chattier over the loud any day, even were GWB to have put on the loud party.

All in all, different parties, but not any contrast when it comes to leadership.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I see Obama's 4th of July party being an 80/20 deal. 80% to celebrate Malia's b-day and 20% for the rest.

Barack Obama urges world to stand against 'aggressive nationalism'

Barack Obama has called on the world to stand up for tolerance, moderation and respect for others – warning that sectarian politics could lead to chaos and violence.

The former US president said some countries had adopted “an aggressive kind of nationalism” and “increased resentment of minority groups”, in a speech in Indonesia on Saturday that could be seen as a commentary on the US as well as Indonesia.

Well, of course: Now that he's not the Prez anymore, he can go ahead and cast aside that mask that he uncomfortably wore for so long and wallow in how deeply he hates America.
For all the DUmmy's ranting, at least President Trump celebrated it in America, and his Independence Day festivities probably didn't feature any repulsive rappers dropping the F- bomb every few seconds.
