“Trump’s speech was not divisive, it was defensive. Atop the bully pulpit, the commander-in-chief defended our country and our values; our history and our heroes; our families and our rights. His speech did not seek to further fracture our nation, but to cement our republic to the solid foundation poured forth with blood nearly 250 years ago. His speech was a tribute to America and to all Americans who love this great country.” Margot Cleveland, “Trump’s Independence Day Speech Was Not ‘Dark’ Or ‘Divisive,’ It Was American,” The Federalist, 7/6/2020.
