These – probably also the drill teams – are standard, every-year elements of the regular, annual, DC 4th of July parade. (The fife and drum corps typically shows up just before the public outdoor reading of the Declaration of Independence in front of the National Archives).

What is new, unprecedented, and beyond disgusting, is Trump misappropriating this nonpartisan, patriotic-in-the-best-sense day and turning it into a divisive, narcissistic, partisan event to cast attention on himself and his anti-American agenda.

Just infuriating.
