The Celebration Clown Show

By Lucius Gantt

Have you bought your chicken and ribs yet? I don't really do holidays but many of my friends and neighbors love a good federal holiday, and they love time with dad on Father's Day.

The President should be enjoying himself at His Trump appreciation celebration that will masquerade as a governmental recognition of America's 250th year as a nation.

We all know why there is no recognition of the "Juneteenth Holiday", if Trump mentions "Juneteenth", he would also have to mention America's slavery days.

One thing for sure is that the President and a company he has bought stock in should benefit from the streaming revenue generated by Paramount+ and all of the advertising banners strung up on the people's White House grounds.

I'm glad Trump's name was removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, but don't stop there. Trump's gigantic pictures shoud also be removed from government buildings.

I don't have Super Girl's x-ray vision, but I can see government corruption without wearing my reading glasses.

What's going on in Washington, D.C. right now is all about the money. It's hard out here for a pimp, but it's easy for government officials to spend your tax dollars in ways that only benefit the spenders.

Any elected officials who will question Presidential spending are labeled as liars, crooks, nasty, fake, and unfair.

Well, TGR is not funded or controlled by any federal, state, or locally elected official.

I respect them all but I don't seek validation, accordance, or approval. I seek clarity, authenticity, facts, and truth.

I don't write the type of columns that President Trump will like. I write the truth whether the American leader likes it or not.

So, if Black communities or individuals choose to join Trump or stage their own festivities, go for it.

I will be doing what I'm doing right now, working.

If basic American rights, like voting, are gerrymandered, denied, and suppressed, America will not truly know peace and citizen harmony.

The President should consider being a puppeteer when he leaves office. How many people can control his flock of puppets without a need to pull some strings?

At the end of the day, Ronald McDonald, Coo Coo, and Clarabelle, the clown, could not pull off a clown show like Trump's

celebration of himself.
