.MaddowBlog: RNC chair: On DDay, ‘We should be celebrating our president.’
Yesterday morning, as many world leaders prepared to honor the 75th anniversary of D-Day, Donald Trump picked up his phone – at 1:30 a.m. – to publish a tweet calling Bette Midler a “washed up psycho.”Soon after, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel had her own take on how best to reflect on the historic occasion. As the HuffPost noted:
The GOP chair appeared on Fox Business on Wednesday to basically moan about the way the media has covered the president’s trip to Europe. She then suggested that Trump should be a main focus of the 75th-anniversary commemoration of D-Day. The RNC chair was apparently so pleased with the on-air comments that her party promoted them via social media.
President Trump plans to address the nation from the Lincoln Memorial on July 4 as part of an overhauled Independence Day celebration that would bring a host of new security and logistical challenges, D.C. officials and the U.S. Park Police said Wednesday.
