MS NOW host Rachel Maddow took viewers through the history of Donald Trump‘s failed celebrations on Monday night (June 1) amid the recent drama surrounding the president’s Freedom 250 concert.
“Celebrations are supposed to start this month for the country’s 250th birthday,” the anchor said on Monday’s edition of The Rachel Maddow Show. “And I know you’ve heard all about Trump kind of botching the celebrations that are planned for the 250th in Washington.”
