Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!
The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.
LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.
The American flag existed long before Donald Trump, and it’ll still be here long after him.

The flag represents the nation and its people, not whichever administration happens to be in power.
God bless America. 🇺🇸
