America’s 250th Anniversary Should Be About America, NOT TRUMP

from A WORLD GONE MAD · host Jeff Alan Wolf

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAmerica only gets one 250th anniversary.So why does it feel like America’s birthday is becoming yet another political battle centered around Donald Trump?In this episode, I look at the growing controversy surrounding artists reportedly walking away from America 250 events and the strange discussion about putting Trump on a proposed $250 bill.At what point does a national celebration stop being about the country and start becoming about one political figure?I also talk about why so many Americans seem exhausted by the constant politicization of nearly everything and whether it’s still possible for the country to come together around something bigger than partisan politics.Can America celebrate its 250th anniversary without turning it into another tribute to Donald Trump? Judging by what’s happening right now, that answer appears to be NO.If you’ve enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I’m not backed by Corporate media.
