“Trump's AMBs🚨are raising cash from cos for USA 250-rlt celebrations, incl a rodeo & a🎄lighting at the US embassy in Singapore.

“I need your💰” -US AMB for Singapore, A Sinha, told execs at a dinner sponsored by Philip Morris.”

One would think that these CEOs would stop the grift. Trump will continue to gouge them, & take a larger share for himself. He’s making Orban look like an amateur.

I'm old enough to remember the constant stream of "Bicentennial Minute" PSA's that ran on TV in 1976.

Most of the American History themed "School House Rock" videos came out that year as well.

The nation was overflowing with patriotism. You saw it everywhere.

Flash forward 50 years and we see #DictatorDon's #gICEstapo arresting/killing U.S. citizens & throwing non-violent immigrants into Concentration Camps.

Anyone exercising their Constitutional Rights are branded "terrorists".
