Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel tore into recent news coverage of President Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom on Wednesday.
In a clip of McDaniel’s recent appearance Fox Business that was shared to the official GOP Twitter account on Wednesday morning, McDaniel said “ninety-three percent of the coverage” of Trump’s three-day visit to the U.K. this week “has been negative.”

“And I just have a reminder for the media: He is your president too,” she continued. “This is our president. This is our country.
“We are celebrating the anniversary, 75 years of D-Day,” McDaniel said. “This is the time where we should be celebrating our president, the great achievements of America, and I don’t think the American people like this constant negativity.”
“There are times when we should be lifting up our president, especially when he’s overseas,” she added.
Her comments, which have racked up thousands of retweets and comments in the hours since the video was first posted on Wednesday, have a sparked a wave of criticism from Twitter users, many of whom took issue with her suggestion that Americans should be celebrating Trump on D-Day.
“Our President, the draft dodger? Why would we celebrate him on a day where we honor heroes?” one person wrote in response.
“D-Day doesn’t stand for Donald-Day,” another user replied, while another wrote: “No, D-Day is not for ‘celebrating our president.’ What a vile statement.”

So according to @GOPChairwoman the D-Day anniversary is for celebrating … Donald J. Trump. If ever there was evidence that the GOP has become a personality cult, this is it.
Please let her know what you think. And retweet and encourage others to let her know what you think. https://t.co/ussN7PslJj

Let's keep the real purpose of the 75th anniversary commemorations of D-Day in mind.
They're not about honoring the valor of those men who stormed the beaches at Normandy or dropped into occupied France to begin the liberation of Europe.
They're about honoring Trump.

Of course it is, D-Day is a beauty pageant for women with D Size breasts.
Right?
No one has done more.
Thank you President Trump for giving D Size Breasts women a chance.

We are celebrating the men who stormed the beaches to preserve liberty, many of whom died on those shores.
We are not celebrating a president.
This has been the case for 75 years and 14 presidents.
Get a grip. https://t.co/ebPLTFzRo1

The Trump cult has really gone off the deep end.
Dictatorships make every holiday or commemoration about “Deat Leader.” In this country we do not. Rona, if you want to worship your idol on D-Day. go ahead. As for the rest of us, we will instead honor and remember the courage and sacrifice of these brave men who saved the world from Nazi tyranny.
.@realJeffreyLord, can you read and hear? @GOPChairwoman said—quote—“this is the time where we should be celebrating our President,” and she was referring to the D-Day anniversary. Celebrating Donald J. Trump is not what that anniversary is about. And about Reagan … https://t.co/XdnommYXXm
