U.S. President Donald Trump sings the national anthem with a U.S. Army chorus during a 'Celebration of America' event on the south lawn of the White House June 5, 2018 in Washington, DC. The event, originally intended to honor the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, was cancelled by the Trump administration after the majority of the team declined to attend the event due to a disagreement with Trump over NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.

Having disinvited the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles from a celebration at the White House and replacing the event with a patriotic sing-along with some of the nation's military bands, President Donald Trump on Tuesday further embarrassed himself and the office of the president by appearing unable to follow along to one of the best known numbers of the teetering U.S. empire: "God Bless America."

\u201cTrump unable to remember words to "God Bless America" at replacement event he commissioned to prove his patriotism: https://t.co/LrMPaCEnen\u201d— Deadspin (@Deadspin) 1528226451
In response to the clip posted by Deadspin, one commenter lamented: "What an embarrassing, shabby, low rent period of history this is."
And fellow patriots, let the record show this isn't the first time Trump looks incredibly guilty of the deeply anti-patriotic sin of not knowing lyrics.
As Common Dreams reported in January of this year, the president struggled to mouth the words of the actual "National Anthem" before the national college football championship game in Atlanta.
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
