In the footage, military personnel could be heard singing Mars and Mark Ronson’s 2014 song “Uptown Funk.” Many critics also pointed to the relatively empty seats at the Trump event, which was widely criticized for continuing to take place amid the coronavirus pandemic.
One user said, “To make matters worse, no group that has made a successful album wants the triumph campaign to use their song, so this is what they get. A service man who sings Bruno Mars. @RealDonaldTrump is so pathetic , which is embarrassing yourself. “
The Trump administration held its annual July 4 celebration on Saturday, despite concerns from local officials about the spread of COVID-19.
At the celebration, called “Salute to the United States,” the President delivered an incendiary speech, making a series of statements that did not reflect the reality of the dramatic increase in cases across the country. “We have made a lot of progress, our strategy is moving well,” said the president, who was not wearing a face mask. “He goes off in one area and lifts his ugly face in another area, but we have learned a lot. We have learned how to put off the flame “.
Despite Trump’s claims, several states, including Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas, have become hotspots for new cases of coronavirus. Saturday also marked the third day in a row that the country reported new daily cases of more than 50,000, reaching a new 24-hour high of 57,497 on Saturday, according to MarketWatch.
He also claimed that tests have shown that 99 percent of coronavirus cases “are completely harmless,” although Johns Hopkins University has estimated the death rate in the United States to be 4.6 percent, according to CNN.
Last month, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, expressed cautious optimism that one of several ongoing trials of the COVID-19 vaccine will be successful and can be mass produced so that Americans follow him year.
Trump made an equally divisive speech the night before in South Dakota at another Independence Day celebration across from Mount Rushmore.
Meanwhile, Obama told Americans to “be safe and smart” over the weekend of July 4.
“This holiday weekend, let’s be safe and smart,” he wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “It will take all of us to beat this virus. So wear a mask. Wash your hands. And listen to the experts, not the people trying to divide us. That is the only way we will do this, together.
