I was 10 years old for the 200th anniversary and I can tell you is a vastly different country that much more unified and content and looking forward to the future. Yesterday's complete melodrama the fact that the presence of the United States siphoned off millions of dollars from a federal program that was meant to set up for the celebrations. He siphoned it off to himself and to his friends like with some second world banana Republic. The United States is clearly in decline. It's declining faster than even I thought was possible. Great! Britain needs to see the writing on the wall and you need to get your act together to become independent again. Think of the reign of good Queen. Beth, well it was you against the Spanish Armada that's how your thinking needs to change. The United States is no longer reliable and everyday we go closer and closer to Total internal chaos. Plus the fact that we owe 39 trillion which we have no ability ever to pay back. So if you have us treasuries I suggest quietly selling
BBC! I'm surprised you are not on the Taylor Swift bandwagon praising her for making Americas Birthday all about her!!!! Savvy business woman making millions if not billons of dollars after all!
I think the next presieent will have to spend too much time undoing much or even most of what Trump has done.
Are there a lot of BOTs replying here……or am I just being paranoid…….
We should dismantle everything at the Great American State Fair immediately. No one should have to see it or be reminded of it anymore. It certainly isn't among the best things we created for our anniversary. Too many people felt embarrassed by the many events that were devoid of crowds.
Celebration of a steep decline…..
250 years of nonstop greed, corruption and racism!
Happy birthday, to one of the greatest nation on earth, the United States of America. With love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇺🇲
How are Americans still supporting this loser? It’s pitiful

How the hell would the bbc know when all they do is lie
I am an American and while I love the concept of my country I am ashamed and embarrassed by our president and administration. Our president is a giant narcissist. All he cares about is his bank account , name and image. He is a pure joke.
Why Trupm can’t win putin’s gang!!!? Is he going to do anything in order to end the war?!
Don’t worry about America, pay more attention on your own problems in your country.
😮😮🎉
What an embarrassment of a country. My condolences to whatever sane individuals are left over there. You deserve better than this.
Lol back? Yeah ok
Being patriotic is one thing. Being utterly delusional is another. Happy Birthday, America.
A dying empire 🇺🇸
日本🗾🇯🇵は故事では、建国2686年です。 最初の憲法は約1400年近く前に有りました。😊
what about under the mountain? no president has ever been put under Mount Rushmore…would be a first!
😊
A d
He is the what?
How does the journalist keep a straight face?
Only folks upset in America are the disaffected people. They see themselves not being part of the future due to the rapid changes and the inability for themselves and their offspring to keep up. The majority is fine.
Human portal threatening us by various ways… HARMFUL TO BODY It's ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES done in Maharashtra please look into this.. HELP
He IS & will be remembered as the Manga Mooseknuckle who tore the USA apart! Elbows UP, Britain! Canada is smarter than you, eh.
What a shame that we have a malignant narcissist with a severe messiah complex and grifter at the time of our 250th anniversary.
Celebrating the end 😂
I love the constitution and I will do my part to make All Men Created Equal a reality. I am in my 50's and I have never been so miserable and depressed over the state of the country. After surviving the the first time, the second time around is simply terrifying. Miserable. Founding fathers would detest this president. Help us. One Day I hope to never hear that mans family name even mentioned. NO to Mt Rushmore. That would make the shame sting even more.
Indios: 😭
i hate it here lol. Im 50. Bicentennial baby!!!!
We are far from the "enlightenment" on which our country was founded.

Its just my opinion but i think the U.S was over the day that trump was elected. Even if trump is gone his voters would vote for someone like him. MAGA got what they wanted. ICE etc. I live in a trump town. Awhile back maga men drove their p/u's w huge trump flags down Main St purely to intimate. Spend time around trump voters? I see that americans now essentially dont care. Nothing will change the maga cult. Ever. They wanted it they got it. Anyone who can leave the states should do it. This is trump america. Fascists.
Whenever I see Sarah Smith in BBC, I cannot stop thinking of her playing miserable on the Weakest link lol
American history is racism, hiroshima and Nagasaki, vietnam , latin American fiascos, iraq invasion and iran
'We're winning like never before'
Lol. One of the best or worse?
250 years. Equates to the end of an empire.

Trump has definitely had a effect on how the rest of the world sees America and it's not positive and the polls show the Trump is in the negative on almost every aspect of his presidency.
