There is one with a mask but would be a good idea for all those people to get tested.

Absolutely phenomenal. Different from the live show, but not necessarily any less good. Atmosphere obviously isn’t there, but you get to see the acting much more closely.
I was lucky enough to see the original cast (and then to see it again in London), and it was incredible to see them all back together again.
The front page of the Washington Post has "Ahead of July 4, Trump exploits racial, social divisions/In a dark speech at the foot of Mount Rushmore's monument, President Trump focused on what he described as a 'left-wing cultural revolution' that aims to rewrite U.S. history and erase its heritage" — reworded at the article page as "At Mount Rushmore, Trump exploits social divisions, warns of ‘left-wing cultural revolution’ in dark speech ahead of Independence Day."
Oh, it's a "dark speech." It was full of optimism and painted the beautiful version of American history, but what the Washington Post saw is darkness. But it certainly did attack the left — for its dark vision. The article brings that out, giving the most highlighted position to this quote from Trump:
The quote the NYT puts in the most highlighted position is:
NPR has "Trump Flouts Virus Rules, Warns Of 'New Far-Left Fascism' In Speech Ahead Of July 4th." One way to spin the speech is to downplay the text and stress the disease risk in holding an event at all. Like CNN, NPR highlights "merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children."
Politico has "Trump seeks to claim the mantle of history in fiery Mount Rushmore address/The president’s speech, part of a July 4 weekend celebration, comes after weeks of protests against racism and police brutality that have forced broader discussions over America's monuments." What's most interesting about that is that it's not a big headline on the front page. In fact, it's squirreled away under the much larger headline, "Yes, Biden is thrashing Trump. But he could still blow it/Biden’s polling lead over Trump is significant, though not unprecedented." I'm going to interpret this to mean that Politico saw an effective speech and is afraid and seeing an immediate need to boost Biden. The Biden article is long, and it's not about any news, just speculation about what could go wrong:

The New York Times has "Trump Uses Mount Rushmore Speech to Deliver Divisive Culture War Message/Down in the polls and failing to control a raging pandemic, the president cast himself as waging battle against a 'new far-left fascism' that imperils American values and seeks to erase history." The speech is full of material that can be used to make the argument that Trump was pulling Americans together, but he was calling on us to reject the destructive message that he ascribed to the far left. The left is very conspicuously "waging battle" against American values, so it's not as though Trump is starting it. He's fighting back. Whether he's fighting for America — as he says — or because he's "down in the polls and failing to control a raging pandemic" is a matter of opinion.
The quote the NYT puts in the most highlighted position is:
The CNN headline is "Trump tries to drag America backward on a very different July 4th." He's "stirring fear of cultural change." The highlighted quote is "merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children."

Oh, heavens, no! Not a coronavirus vaccine and an improved economy! The double whammy!!

He's a clown mezz - evaluation TRUE
his donkey behaviour is killing thousands - evaluation UNPROVEN
Does the second half of the sentence increase or decrease the power of the truth of the first half?
What did you think of the speech?

Nice. Didn’t really have any delusions of it stacking up with a live performance. You simply can’t beat being in The Room Where it Happens. I saw it twice from the front row in London back in January. You get the up-close perspective of the acting from those seats too, not to mention you get spit on by the cast A LOT. (What a simpler time five months ago when that didn’t really matter.) However, the stage is really high, so you miss most of the lighting effects and footwork. Not a big deal if you’re familiar with the show, but probably not ideal for a first timer.
I’ll add that the current London cast is very nearly as good as the original Broadway cast.
No idea. Though early and strong responses to Covid have proven to be effective in keeping the mortality rate down. Countries run by rambling clowns have proven to be the ones with skyrocketing deaths and spikes. In short: CLOWN

Birk can’t you see my tongue in my cheek I’m forcing it so bad it’s about to burst out and crack my screen.
Expected Fourth of July rhetoric with expected Trumpian attacks on those responsible for everything he doesn't like.
There could have been more red meat than there was. I thought he shaded toward the "hopeful".
I'm no fan of the Trump delivery. I didn't think it was "dark", but I didn't get the talking points like the media. It read better than it sounded.

How can you support a man like that?
Take a look at your country. It's broken. The sooner he's out of the equation the better.
