USA Today's review of Trump's Great American Shit Show. "repellent schlock"

[wnylib]

6. All the pundits and most of us here at DU

comment on how Trump's 250 celebration is tacky and poorly attended. But very few talk about how that's the point. He cut corners on entertainment, construction of booths, places to sit, etc. in order to keep the rest of the funds. He ser up cage fights in order to make money off of them.

Then there is the fact that Trump's tastes are innately tacky.

So he puts on tacky programs, makes it all about himself to gratify his insatiable ego, and uses the opportunity to grift.

It was.never about a grand celebration of the country. It was always about sham, cheap programs as fronts for Trump to spew political propaganda about himself, and get attention and money.
