Earlier in the day, Donald Trump vowed to “safeguard our values” from enemies within — leftists, looters, agitators, he said — in a July 4 speech packed with all the grievances and combativeness of his political rallies.

Donald Trump watched paratroopers float to the ground in a tribute to America, greeted his audience of front-line medical workers and others central in responding to the coronavirus pandemic, and opened up on those who “slander” him and disrespect the country’s past.
