President Donald Trump will deliver a speech from the Lincoln Memorial as part of a series of events that includes a parade and military flyovers.
WASHINGTON – The Trump administration announced plans Wednesday for a unique July Fourth celebration – a made-for-TV event starring President Donald J. Trump.
Trump's address at the Lincoln Memorial, to be delivered at a"Salute to America" event at 6:30 p.m. on Independence Day, is designed"to honor America’s armed forces," the Interior Department said. "Our founders were ready to give their lives for this country and that's what we celebrate on the Fourth of July," Democratic strategist Jesse Ferguson said."Donald Trump wants to basically cancel the nonpartisan celebration of America and force us to celebrate him, instead.
The president then began to focus on doing something for July Fourth, an idea he teased with a tweet in early February.A few weeks later, Trump tweeted:"HOLD THE DATE! We will be having one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C., on July 4th. It will be called 'A Salute To America' and will be held at the Lincoln Memorial.
