Donald Trump braved rainy weather to deliver a speech at his Fourth of July 'Salute to America' event from behind a panel of bulletproof glass.

The attendees were very upbeat and positive, as were the millions of viewers. If a handful of Liberal newsreaders boycotted and otherwise disparaged it, no big deal.

He's proven to be great at that, much to their chagrin.

I doubt it.

Semantic issue — what the hell are “pre-prepared remarks”?

Either you have prepared remarks, or you don’t. IF you prepared them, clearly you prepared them BEFORE the speech, so obviously the were “pre”.

Noticed that, too. And from those who supposedly speak “proper” English.

Trump publicly trolled those who are suffering from the effects of #Ameriphobia, the irrational hatred of America.

Does anyone have a bonafide count on attendance yesterday?

I’ve heard 3 mil thrown around but that seemed a bit unrealistic.

Lol!

Personally, I think he should have stood in the rain. It would have conveyed a message of toughness. (Fraid of a little rain?)

Seemed to portray a little bit of us vs them. (Didn’t look good- poor optics)

The shield was bullet-proof, so maybe
it wasn’t there just for the rain...

With all the MSM talk of Trump as Evil Clone of Hitler—I don’t blame Trump for the Bulletproof glass. Still in that crowd anyone who took a pot shot at Trump would have been torn to pieces before he could get off a second round.

Did you notice the figures on top of the Lincoln memorial on the right side? Couldn’t tell what they were doing up there.

It was scary to see the POTUS and VPOTUS on the same stage...you know who is third in line of succession.
