Dear @asmMelendez: No, this was a partisan event where the @GOP Republican National Committee doled out VIP passes to donors. Our taxpayer funds were subsidizing a campaign event. Also, I served on active duty in the American military to defend your right to call people names

What is the key takeaway? While the Russians proudly boast of "owning" Trump, they despise him — and loathe all of us, Americans. The Kremlin does not wish us well. If you see anyone wearing "I'd Rather Be A Russian" T-shirt, be sure to tell them that

Pres Trump his own Master of Ceremonies and impresario for a long patriotic speech at the Lincoln Memorial. Heavy focus on history of our powerful Armed Forces. No partisan attacks on his political enemies. Central focus on Trump. Angry 4th of July.
