Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says Trump threw him under the bus.
“If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody,” Cornyn says. “There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants.“

Corruption on the largest ever scale is the primary focus of this administration, e.g. blackmailing as diplomacy or slush funds as domestic policy. We're going to need more prisons to house all of the Trumpians, whether elected, appointed, or just along or the ride, but that's money well spent.
"A Freedom 250 spokeswoman claimed that the event 'is inherently nonpolitical. It is a celebration of our country.'"
Atop the other brazen lies, this one is meant to camouflage Trump's egomania & the corruption of many in MAGA World.
A greedy "hostile takeover" of an otherwise patriotic event.
Yesterday, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman posted a video on LinkedIn saying: “Nasdaq is a proud participant in Freedom 250." I have reached out to Nasdaq asking for details, including any financial agreements, surrounding the the company's participation in Trump's Freedom 250.

Trump has taken over America's 250th birthday for his own self promotion.
In 8 months, the Trump admin awarded over $126 MILLION in federal contracts to fund gaudy, hyper-politicized celebration.
Our taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a cage fight & a rally to boost Trump's ego.
"Christian nationalists, including [Mike] Johnson, 'are zeroed in on defeating democracy,' Huffman added. 'Violence is a feature, not a bug, of this movement and we need to take it very, very seriously.'"

America's 250th was going to be nonpartisan. Then Trump took over. Now it's being run by Trump loyalists & funded by $100+ million in federal contracts sent to MAGA-fied events.
