While President Trump is looking for a feel-good show, the July 4 festivities will be shadowed by the coronavirus pandemic and protests

WASHINGTON—President Trump is set to host a July 4 celebration here with fireworks on the National Mall, as the city’s mayor urges people to stay home because of coronavirus concerns and protesters plan their own counterprogramming.

Titled “Salute to America,” the Independence Day event will include military flyovers, a massive fireworks display and remarks from Mr. Trump at the White House. As coronavirus cases in the U.S. hit another single-day high ahead of the holiday, organizers are providing 300,000 masks and strongly...

Not really...did the ESJ move it’s HQ to China? Asking for a friend.

Not 1 month ago CJCS Mark Milley apologized for being at the trump church photo op because “My presence..created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.' So WTF is the “perception” with the Blue Angels flying at one of trump’s political rallys?

And having trump present doesn’t help with the festivities! Go away trump! Resign now!

wsj you wish it would be overshadowed, you , and your Masters are trying VERY hard to keep AMERICANS down ... BUT they WILL STAND, STRONG & PROUD 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

“While thousands of Americans are sick, suffering and dying in the midst of the worst global health crisis in a century, the U.S. president ignores medical guidance, holds campaign rallies, and puts his main focus on protecting old statues of dead traitors.” Try that version

Besides the editorial page wsj could be nytimes

Feel good like the tax payer funded divisive rant he bumbled through last nite?

Stupid WSJ today is July 4th , let alone Trump.

I lived in DC & had the pleasure of seeing July 4th. Greatest anywhere in the USA. Later I flew with friends to DC so they could witness this event. I would not attend today given the covid-19 conditions. Perhaps there will be social-d & masks, take care folks!

Only because you guys are making it that way. People are getting sick, yes. The death rate is decreasing though. This virus just needs to run its course. We’ve been hearing about this for six months straight.

Only because you emphasize it. Still no one in my family and friends and coworkers has it!!

If people who hate America can riot. Protest and destroy statues, then people who love America can celebrate being free. 4thofJuly Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

And of course you and your MSM friends have nothing to do with it! You and your elite friends planned this all! MSMBastards

I'm enjoying myself in New York City, the first capital of the U.S. Wearing my sweatybands 'Home of the Brave' red, white, and blue mask.

Nothing more American than peaceful protests. Even if they hate this country in a way these people are celebrating the fourth and America! TrumpLovesAmerica KAG Trump2020Landslide ToProtestistoCelebrateAmerica

While EVERYONE else's fireworks and celebrations were canceled, I wonder if MANY MORE will tune in than normal. Sounds like a GREAT MARKETING plan! USA IndependenceDay Trump2020Landslide Patriotic

Only if you want it to be .... not me..... Merica!!!!!

Don’t remember Obama’s 4th of July celebrations being described as a “feel-good show “ Real Americans are celebrating today..

Whatever

Right...How dare anyone try to make ppl smile or dare I say happy for a moment in the middle of a depression like episode in our country....what a real piece of journalism

stfu demon newspaper

Irresponsible.

Fireworks spread the Rona but Riots don’t.... COVIDー19

Sort yourselves out WSJ... A day’s break from protests and pandemic discussion never hurt anyone.

July 14th, 10 days after the infection and realDonaldTrump turns into a coronazombie.

FDA is the principal accomplice of the number of deaths, avoidance tue use of a HCL from the beginning of the COVID

Today is July 4th Slavery was abolished in 1864. Whining blacks will murder or loot how many today in the name of Freedom ? USA world leader in Aids cases, incarceration, Cova cases, Cova death and homelessness. One common thing in common. Lazy, dumb blacks.

shadowed by the coronavirus pandemic and protests? lol. $fb $msft $brka $ccl $apo $lb little queenz/kingz = corona virus can 2020 planet afford it?

Biden is an anti America sympathizer and democrats are pushing the destruction of America. While the media praises and pushes their communist agenda.

Protesters are the 0.4% of the population of USA

Nah

President Trump is unifying Americans!!

*will be shadowed by petulant children.

So celebrating our country is a No?But tearing it down is a Go! Covid is only dangerous at celebratory events, all destruction is safe!

The same DC that was okay with protestors.

No shadowed by. We are going to live with this virus. OPEN EVERYTHING NOW It has a 0.26% mortality rate That IS LESS than 1%, LESS than 1% RECOVERY RATE is OVER 99%, that's right OVER 99% FACTS MATTER! OPEN UP!

The state of Florida reported 11,445 new coronavirus cases on Saturday, its highest number of reported cases in one day yet.

All those dead people, but hey, there's a populist agenda to run and a weak-minded electorate to bullshit.

Everyone should show up.

ah, tell the truth, -- a 'feel-good show' for white males with high school educations, right? Anyone with a brain, well....he's gonna have to do better.....

Do you honestly think the president was looking for a 'feel good show'? Every time he speaks it's a dark, dreary horror show that swings from swooning American platitudes to rhetoric intended to incite violence. 'Feel good' is not his intent. Not by a long shot. RandiRhodes

realDonaldTrump turned a great American holiday into a hate filled spectacle. He glorifies the worst our amazing country has to offer. If we can overcome their fraud and suppression we will be able to have IndependenceFromTrump

OR maybe we are just moving on with life despite things that are beyond our control.... Will be moving in with nytimes soon? Y’all could both use the help paying the rent...

Thousands of protesters gather to condemn the gathering....lol you idiots.

Trump hosting one superspreader event after another proves that his sociopathic needs must be met even at the cost of his benighted followers lives. The Republican Party is a death cult now.💀💀💀💀💀

Why can't leftists take one day and give their endless hate and obstruction a rest. Stop. Just stop for one day.

How many new cases and eventual deaths can be attributed to realDonaldTrump after this weekend? It’s on you GOP.

In addition to all the failures, Trump also is suffering from jealousy because: Obama won the popular votes Obama won the Nobel peace prize Obama has 40 millions more Twitter followers

Amazing wording of 'feel-good show'. Words typically reflect author's own mentality.

Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

I'm more interested in Joe Biden being Joe Biden's husband.

Do y’all even care to hide your bias anymore?

While the is looking for a soul the rest of us will be thanking God almighty that we live in the greatest country on earth Happy4thofJuly

HONK HONK

Covid does not matter anymore. Stop yapping about it.

Trump is just SPREADING DEATH amongst his followers, just like Jim Jones gave his followers potassium cyanide laced Kool-aid, Trump is using Covid-19 to KILL off his followers.

And most especially his fascism and treason

Nah. We good

Fascinating how CNN called Mount Rushmore 'majestic' and 'quite a sight' in 2008 when Obama visited, but now its a symbol of slavery and stolen land. news FortniteSeason3 KAG BreakingNews BREAKING FoxNews HappyFourthOfJuly
