    The tradition is that the 4th of July Celebrations are about ALL Americans - not just one party ... or one President. Trump is all about the Brand, our first Kardashian President.

    Pointless question because past Presidents understood the significance of the day and didn't insert themselves into the celebrations

    https://www.nps.gov/articles/what-did-the-presidents-do-on-july-fourth.htm

    And Trump ain't doing this to "unite" anyone, he is, as I stated, looking to pimp the day for his own advantage regardless

    You are not "reading this right," "libs" are calling for respecting the day for what it is, a nonpolitical celebration of our Nation, Trump is the one upsetting tradition, he's looking to make it all about him, as I said, pimping the day for his own benefit, turn it into one of his gym rallies

    Trump slashed food safety regulations and cultivated an "anti-regulation" atmosphere, and my wife got food poisoning. Bad.
    2017 showed a 90% increase in food born illness over the 2012 - 2014 average. 2018 was worst the year in over a decade for food borne illness. Trump's a dick.

    It don't matter. The 4th has no significance anymore anyway. It is just a celebration of a dead idea.

    If Obama had done it you'd be all praise. But of course, Obama would never do that because he's not too patriotic. He hates America.

    And we would save $100 million by not moving it - so **** that noise. All that did was insure less chance of long term peace in the region.

    Well what's more important to remember is that Crooked Hillary is not President.

    If President Crooked Hillary Clinton had done it you'd be like, "what an amazing idea". But you won't because she'll never be President.

    Pointless, Obama never did it, he understood the significance of the day, as did the vast majority of prior Presidents

    https://www.nps.gov/articles/what-did-the-presidents-do-on-july-fourth.htm

    Trump is the first who wants to make it all about Trump

    If it moved from near the Capitol towards the Lincoln Mem then it would technically be closer to the river. On the other hand, there's no subway stops close to that end as there is out in front of the museums on the mall and close by so it'll be less convenient, but still an excellent idea.

    Didn't like her, didn't vote for her - she was as toxic as Trump.

    Tensions are higher between Palestine and Israel then they have been in over a decade. Tension with Iran is higher than it has been in a decade. And no, the entire embassy hasn't been moved - just the ceremonial part. The actual new embassy will cost over $100 million and take years to build.

    The physical embassy has not moved. It was just a ceremony. It will cost over $100 million to build the actual new embassy building and move the entire staff.

    Another one who it went right over their head

    It is now about the location, but the fact that Trump is attempting to pimp the day to make it all about Trump, to turn it into another one of his gym rallies, really not all that difficult

    Every day is hate trump day for liberals. Why should the 4th of July be any different?

    I live in a small but quite liberal town. You know which houses are Republicans. They're the ones who fly the American flag.

    The Fourth of July is inane ??? At least Trump wants to participate in the birthday of the greatest country in the history of the world.

    Actually I think you are mistaken. If you want to talk pimps, talk Kamala Harris, and her plan to turn Uncle Sam into the world's largest pimp by decriminalizing prostitution and getting Uncle Sam his cut. Either way, what sort of moron doesn't understand the 4th of July isn't about one guy? Oh right, some of the folks you guys indoctrinate might get confused, is that the real issue here?
