Trump’s Dark July 4 Message
from The Weekend Hosted by Eugene Daniels, Jackie Alemany, Jonathan Capehart, Douglas Brinkley, Anne Applebaum, Akayla Gardner, Courtenay Brown, Nicholas Wu
July 4, 2026; 7am: On the eve of the 250th anniversary of the United States, President Trump delivered a political speech at Mount Rushmore. Instead of delivering a unifying message about the country's future, the president devoted much of his remarks to warning against a renewed communist threat in the United States, calling for political opponents to be "sent into exile," and pushing his SAVE America Act. Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley and Anne Applebaum, staff writer for The Atlantic, join “The Weekend” to discuss.
