ABC’s Terry Moran, May 1, 2025, asked President Trump, “What does (the Declaration of Independence) mean to you?” Donald responded, “It’s exactly what it is. It is a declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot, and is something very special to our country.”
The Daily Show’s Desi Lydik pointed out that, on hearing this, Moran’s fascial expression reflected the concern of “a teacher about to call the school psychologist.

But of course, he would have made that face. Trump said that the Declaration of Independence meant unity. Unity is the opposite of independence. How did Trump find the one time that unity and love is the wrong answer? What makes this even more sad is the Declaration of Independence is basically the colonies filing for divorce. It’s the one thing that Trump should absolutely recognize.”

The Declaration of Independence is The United States of America’s birth certificate!
