Four days after his July 4 bash, President Donald Trump said on Monday that he plans to host another one next year.

During a White House event on environmental protection, Trump patted himself on the back for his “remarkable” Salute to America event and its “incredible, big beautiful crowds.”

“I will say this: It was a wonderful day for all Americans, and based on its tremendous success, we’re just making the decision,” Trump said. “And I think we can say we’ve made the decision to do it again next year and maybe we can say for the foreseeable future.”

On the day of the celebration, White House staffer reportedly struggled to hand out tickets to Trump’s event, which had VIP passes for GOP donors. The National Park Service shelled out $2.5 million for it.

    That’s how it works. You start out small, and then keep pushing boundaries. After a few years there will be goose-stepping and salutes to the Great Leader. Or at least, such is the plan.

  2. They shouldn’t give him the permit until all of his past due bills are paid. And if this happens next year I hope the NPS and D.C. tell him where he can hold it.

    Its nice to know that we can spend millions of dollars of our so-called “president’s” vanity games while thousands of refugee men, women, and children are being held in cages, denied safe and sanitary conditions, denied adequate food and water , and allegedly are being sexually abused by government agents. And all of this is making America great again?

    Looks like all Trump is doing is making America into a cesspool.

  4. I’m hoping for 6 feet under by next year and screw the lying in state.

  5. Oh, please. The lines would be miles long, just to be sure.

    Charge $1 to spit, $5 to piss, $10 for a dump.

    We’d have the national debt wiped out.
