Trump is the first presidential candidate in a long time to go to Iowa and not pose for the camera in a field coat and jeans, like some focused group, polished politician would. Tells me he is who he is—no excuses, no phoniness, no pandering for votes. Genuine.
But, as far as his putting his own touches on an Independence Day celebration—well, just part of who he is: an old school patriot. Hand over heart, choking back a lump in the throat at the National anthem. And that, I get.
Considering the recent outrageous acts of the anti-American Left, this event could end up being the biggest in memory, as regular patriotic Americans show up to support America in these politically troubled times.
