DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania ¨C Betsy Halsey, 63, still has ?memorabilia from America¡¯s 1976 bicentennial in her childhood bedroom at her parents¡¯ home. But the retired teacher is so appalled by President Donald Trump that she refuses to celebrate the country¡¯s 250th birthday.
¡°I don¡¯t want to be at the same party with people feeling enthusiastic about where our country is going,¡± said Halsey, a frequent Democratic voter who lives in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
Dan Marrazzo, 70, a Republican and laundromat owner who lives in nearby Langhorne Manor, is ready to celebrate, believing America under Trump is thriving, and will mark the occasion by cooking for friends and family. ¡°The poorest person in America has a better lifestyle than some of the richest people in the rest of the world,¡± he said.
