      <title>Trump Finally Admits the Truth</title>

      <wordzilla:destination>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SJoBHxM4C4</wordzilla:destination>
      <description>Getting back to the star of the show, on Monday morning Trump turned his attention to the July 4th celebrations centered around America's 250th anniversary.&lt;p&gt; And by doing so, he finally admitted the truth. Here is what he said on Truth Social yesterday.&lt;p&gt; &quot;On July 4th at the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in beautiful and safe Washington DC, we are going to host the most spectacular Trump rally of them all, a tribute to America.&quot; &lt;p&gt;And I'm going to stop reading it right there because that is the key.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>Just like what happened on his birthday, everything surrounding July 4th is a celebration of Donald J. Trump. 
&lt;p&gt;It's being packaged as if it's a celebration of America, but underneath that packaging, you'll see the face of Donald J. Trump. 
&lt;p&gt;And I've spoken about this many times before. 
&lt;p&gt;This whole Trump is America and America is Trump idea is not only something that's been growing and growing for many years now in the Trump administration, but a very similar phrase was front and center of a totalitarian ideology from less than a century ago.</wordzilla:extended>

      <description>The Guardian is publishing birthday messages to Trump for his 80th birthday from people all over the political spectrum. Anthony Scaramucci: &quot;I found this birthday message for you outside Trump Tower: 'You sold me your soul. You got what you wanted. The tower. The power. The money. The name in gold. But you left a trail behind you, and it leads to the ninth circle. Goethe said any soul, while still living, can be saved. Will yours? Happy Birthday -- Mephistopheles.'&quot;</description>
