My cousin was born on the Fourth of July. He wasn’t Tom Cruise in a wheelchair, just an ordinary English boy to whom, other than the annual anniversary of his own existence, the occasion meant absolutely nothing whatsoever.

President Donald Trump flew aboard the newest Air Force One on its maiden voyage Wednesday.
