realDonaldTrump should do it from the bunker. BunkerBoyTrump

Trump is literally just shitting on American history and destroying anything that ever meant something. Soon he will say the constitution is worthless and should have never been written. You can't call yourself Advertised if you support this man.

Through COVID, This Only Matters To Him

Its just amazing that after all his bullshit people still support this imbecile

He cant use the WH for campaign related events.

Is he planning on still doing it in the WH? Of course he is.

Why doesn't he just give it from his bunker!

🤪

Pfft. Pretty sure either one would be a Hatch Act violation, since both are federal lands. That's probably why no one else has done it previously. Either way, I won't be watching.

How about choosing Waterloo?

ProjectLincoln Cannot talk about Gettysburg without Lincoln Republican contrast to Trump and his Ruspublicans. What will his rebel flag flying folks think of Trump picking the site that Meade kicked Lee’s ass, a day after Grant took Vicksburg? Great Real Republican Day.

Gettysburg is a great choice. It's where Confederate traitors go to lose.

Forget his hyper-inflated ego. If he and his racist cohorts put a foot on the ground of the bloodiest battle of the Civil War...what a desecration that would be!

He’s got no business giving speeches. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Dt will be a sorry contrast . For someone who apparently feels humiliation very deeply, he does a good job of humiliating himself. It would be like me wanting to stand next to a team of NBA players thinking they will make me look tall.

You just know if he goes to Gettysburg that he’s gonna brag that it was the biggest and best Gettysburg Address in history

How about a cemetery

I’ll be watching Netflix ..

Trump should do it next to a Robert E. Lee statue.

Your supposed to concentrate on Gettysburg, then get outraged, and wait for the next news story.

The RNC political event doesn’t belong at either venue. The politicization of the White House or a place as sacred as Gettysburg is totally inappropriate. What’s wrong with realDonaldTrump’s tacky DC Hotel? The White House and Gettysburg are National sites, not Trump property.

Gettysburg is perfect! That's where racist confederates go to lose and/or die!

The irony will come in full circle if he comes to Gettysburg, proclaiming the confederate flag to be our national heritage. He might as well just spit on the Constitution and the 14th Amendment

Cool...
