President Trump’s summer is off to a terrible start. The lineup for the Great American State Fair concert series on the National Mall was full of ’80s and ’90s has-beens. Even they refused to perform at his MAGA-fied celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Now our appearance-obsessed president, who fancies himself a great builder, is being brutally roasted over a renovation project that turned the Reflecting Pool into a bright-green literal swamp.

There is one solution to both of these problems, and it could bring together young and old, Democrat and Republican, in a beautiful celebration of America’s past and our shared cultural identity.

It’s time for some Turtle Power.
