The irony of the Trump 4th of July Spectacular

What Trump could not have imagined when he scheduled today’s “Salute to America” is what it ended up emphasizing—not just deflecting focus from the triumph of America’s story of independence, but directing it toward the contradiction and tragedy of Donald Trump. No president in modern history has more often emphasized the virtues of our military's courage, honor and valor, and done less in his political or personal life to exhibit them. The selfless service that is at the heart of American heroism, either military or civilian, he has rejected in his approach to his family, community and politics.

Whatever motives the president had in making himself the center of attention on a day dedicated to the nation’s independence, the event became a testament—unintended, but evident to anyone there—to his isolation. When the president craves a crowd, or believes he needs one to demonstrate his popularity, he calls on America’s service members. Unless what he asks for is immoral or illegal, they have to answer.

And he avoided service on a fake medical condition.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
