mugshot merchandise, the trump campaign raked in over $7 million. today, my garbage man told me he s buying mugshot t-shirts for everyone he knows this christmas. bless your heart. good to know jesse waters that some of your best garbagemen are black. you don t really know any black people, do you? none, right? none. i figured. waters went on to claim to further prove his genius point that a new mural is on display in the inner city in atlanta celebrating trump and paying homage to the mugshot. except that the mural by artist chris veal who is white, by the way, is not on display in the inner city but rather on the lovely atlanta beltline east side trail where you re much more likely to find a jogger or a latte drinker than the boys in the hood. the mural also says, as a new acronym for maga, can i m quoting with apologies to the saints out there, maga, my ass got arrested. note to jesse and friends at
and center for a salute to america, an event believed to be inspired by a bastille day parade he attended two years ago. trump s u.s. version will be complete with tanks, a military flyover and a vip section for his allies and friends. capping it all off, a speech by the president himself tomorrow night from the lincoln memorial. all of it causing the critics to say it is less about celebrating america and more about celebrating trump. tom foreman has more on the planning and the backlash. preparations under way up and down the national mall with some big pieces of military hardware being brought in as the president wished for the white house, this is a big display of american exceptionalism, for the president s critics it is instead an awful lot of fuss about him. the iconic fireworks over the national mall will be moved to a new spot, all flights will be grounded at reagan national
