If you take a look at the Declaration of Independence...

the list of grievances against King George are in many instances quite similar to trump's transgressions against a free people.

the Fourth of July occurs in the middle of the summer break from school. Were school in session on that date, the Declaration of Independence would be read out loud and/or by every student in school on that date.

I will confess to only a passing and incomplete familiarity with that document until I started listening to Morning Edition's annual reading of it. Wow.
