6:04Now PlayingAmerica’s 250th anniversary was supposed to be a national celebration of shared history, but Trump turned the kickoff into another grievance rally about borders, culture wars, vanity projects, and his own need for applause. Artists have backed away, states are refusing to participate, and crowds have already been seen heading for the exits because even patriotic pageantry starts to rot when Trump makes himself the centerpiece. The country deserves a birthday that honors workers, veterans, immigrants, civil rights, science, music, and the unfinished promise of freedom, not a campaign event wrapped in bunting and billed as unity. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
