Happy 241st Birthday, America! People of all political, social and economic backgrounds took time July 4 to mark the anniversary of the nation’s formal severance from British imperial rule.
While many Americans attended parades, grilled hot dogs and enjoyed colorful fireworks displays (or perhaps hosted their own), Trump Nation marked its first Independence Day by achieving some of its own firsts.
President Donald Trump forwent the traditional American patriotic songs enjoyed by generations, introducing us instead to a song that celebrates, well, himself. “Make America Great Again” was performed by a Dallas-based church choir.

GuyFromCNY has learned that another Trump-inspired song is in the works for next year. The story is inspired by descendants of former immigrants who are now extending a greeting to incoming and aspiring immigrants. The lyrics are:
“This is our country, not yours.
This is our country, not yours.
Jesus knows we’re right,
‘Cause our Jesus is white.
This is our country not yours.”
Trump nation also staged several events in foreign cities, including London and Paris to celebrate the universal peace achieved since Trump, using his secret 30 day plan, had eliminated Isis some 135 days before the 4th.
Meanwhile, Trump nation took great exception Thursday to what they dismissed as a direct attack on their worshiped president. It was National Public Radio’s annual reading of the Declaration of Independence, which was also tweeted in segments by NPR’s official account.
Trump himself, on Twitter, dismissed the posting of the Declaration of Independence as “fake news,” writing: “Who talks with big words and sentences like that? Losers.”
In other news, Republican supporters on Capitol Hill were reportedly investigating whether the opening line of the U.S. Constitution, “We the People, in order to form a more perfect union,” was possibly a hint of a rumored coup attempt against the U.S. economy by organized labor.
They also noted that the passage referring to “promotion of the general welfare” sounded too socialistic and should be viewed as a direct attack on the Senate healthcare bill. They recommended the removal of this language from the document, along with that of the troublesome First Amendment, just as soon as Justice Kennedy can be persuaded to retire.
