about five to ten times longer than it would take at an equivalent 0bama event.

Inside the Beltway: Obama references himself 467 times in one speech

Barack Obama refers to himself a record-breaking 392 times in Berlin speech

"An Obama event". Not a Fourth of July event.
Obama was not President at the time..Speech was about his foundation NOT an Independence Day celebration.

Default Have you read the Declaration?

It clearly states that we were to break away from despots. READ IT!!! Trump loves despots and would love to be one.
Quote:
Trump’s desire for a military parade reveals him as a would-be despot

Opponents can react to this in one of two ways. Mockery is the obvious response, seeing in Trump’s desire to display US tanks and rocket launchers on Pennsylvania Avenue the same transparent insecurity as the mid-life crisis neighbour who suddenly turns up with a Ferrari in the driveway.

Or we can be more sober, and regard this as just the latest and potentially most spectacular demonstration of Trump’s authoritarian instincts. Just as he has repeatedly expressed admiration for strongmen in the Vladimir Putin mode, just as he regards the machinery of the state as his personal staff – casually referring to “my justice department” or “my generals” – and just as this week he suggested that those who refuse to applaud him are “treasonous”, so this is yet more proof that Trump’s instincts are those of the autocrat. Little wonder that he wants to take the salute at the kind of military display more associated with Moscow or Pyongyang than Washington DC.

Trump is the anthesis of why we celebrate Independence Day. Oh the irony!

I'm pretty sure Trump hasn't read it.

Also sure that people who support the ways he subverts it haven't read it, either.

The fact that you don't know is disconcerting.

I read it numerous times during my stints at the government indoctrination centers.

When I got older I realized that since I never signed it there wasn't much use in reading it anymore.

it makes little difference. 'i' and 'me' are always Obama's favorite speech words no matter the occasion.
