'They started this too late': Trump officials and allies anxious about July 4 fest
Trump and RNC aides are scrambling to ensure turnout at the event and avoid another controversy about crowd size.

By NANCY COOK 07/03/2019 01:17 PM EDT

The White House and Republican National Committee have spent the past week scrambling to distribute VIP tickets to President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

Now, White House officials and allies are wringing their hands over the risk of the hastily arranged event morphing into Trump’s Inauguration 2.0, in which the size of the crowd and the ensuing media coverage do not meet the president’s own outsized expectations for the event.

“They started this too late and everyone has plans already,” said Dan Eberhart, a Republican donor and CEO of the drilling services company Canary, LLC. “Everyone will be there in spirit, but in reality, people planned their July 4th activities weeks ago.”

Less than 36 hours before the event, White House aides were crafting Trump’s speech, while administration and RNC officials finalized the guest lists.

A White House official declined to explain the system for handing out tickets or the various tiers of VIP access, except to say the reserved seating area — extending from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the middle the reflecting pool — will feature veterans, Trump family and friends and special guests. The first lady, vice president and second lady, and a number of Cabinet officials are expected to attend, as well as several senior White House officials — though the aide stressed this, too, was still coming together.

“They are creating this thing from scratch, and I do not know if anyone knows how it will go off,” said another White House aide. “There are questions about the ticket distribution and who will show up. The weather might be bad. Heads are spinning.”

Also this motherfucker manages the world’s largest economy, military and nuclear arsenal and he and his team can’t pull off a fucking 4th of July fireworks show properly. Trumpist rubes....stop and think about that one for a second. The man and everyone he surrounds himself cannot properly put on a 4th of July fireworks show.
 
A fireworks show that was already put together and has basically been the same thing for decades. Some performances and some fireworks.
 
And it’s the one thing Trump has probably “worked” on the most over the past few months. This is the presidential shit he cares about most.

The way I see it, Trump can own the lubes in one of two ways.

1. He goes full Trump rally complete with a "lock him/her up cheer."

2. He reads a sane speech about our history to prove the lubes wrong that this is a boondoggle.
 
They will if Trump tells them to stand with him.
 
I'm surprised Trump isn't fly the Stars & Bars tomorrow.
 
Happy Trump Politicizes the Military Day !
