I just saw brief phone footage of the event, is it literally raining on the Orange Fuhrer's parade?
Perhaps Thor is displeased.

“It may not be the White House, but we’d be happy to welcome [Rapinoe] and the entire #USWMNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they’d like,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
Star player Megan Rapinoe, who has been feuding with Trump, replied to Ocasio-Cortez following her two goals in USA’s 2 – 1 victory over France.
“Consider it done, AOC,” Rapinoe replied

I can pretty much work out what was going through Megan Rapinoe's mind when the White House invitation was made ...
"Spend time being fobbed off with a Burger king takeaway and being groped by the orange pervert, while having to listen to him masturbate his ego? I can obtain better hospitality from some of the countries he's described as shitholes" ...

If I were a god-believing man I’d attribute this good fortune to that. But alas just a Happy coincidence.

I was going to ask if speaking from within a bulletproof enclosure was standard practise but haven't Presidents before him generally bowed out from making any public speeches or appearances for July 4th?
Frankly I'm moderately surprised he went despite the rain.

Trump claims 1775 revolutionary army 'took over airports'
Donald Trump made an embarrassing error when addressing crowds during his Independence Day speech, saying the army 'took over the airports' from the British during the revolutionary war in the late 1700s, despite air travel not occurring in the US until the early 1900s.

Having watched the video he clearly confused “ramparts” with “airports.” Still doesn’t contribute to a sense of competence though.

I didn't watch the video, but ramparts? Seems even more anachronistic.

Trump’s speech writer was alluding to the line from The Star Spangled Banner, “O’er the ramparts we watched...”
