Tim Miller: Trump’s Speech on July 4th ‘Is Going To Be Pretty Empty’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: “Well, this presidency has been a lot longer than that one, and it feels even longer. Here we are talking about it. He’s talking at, like, 9:50 at night. So, it’s not going to be at the peak of the day in the heat. We’ll see. I think the bigger question is who wants to go hear a really long Trump speech on the 4th of July night in America 250? I mean, even some of the biggest Trump fans, you would wonder, wouldn’t many of them rather just watch it on their big screen and go out and set off sparklers and hang out with their friends in the air conditioning? And, you know, I just — it just seems extremely unappealing. This is what happens when you’re a megalomaniac. He only thinks about himself. The original idea for this was that there was going to be a lot of musicians and fanfare, and it would be a moment to remember the history of the country. And you can understand why people might want to do that and, like, bring their kids to it and kind of experience it. He changed it from that to being a Trump rally. It’s going to be really hot. It’s going to be really late at night. He says it’s going to be long. That’s his pitch. I think it’s going to be pretty empty.”
