Trump Hijacks America's Birthday Celebration for Self-Centered MAGA Rally

The much-loved Fourth of July fireworks at the National Mall will be delayed for almost two hours as Donald Trump turns the celebration into yet another MAGA rally.

Empty crowds, a Confederate flag and an alleged lewd act may have overshadowed the president’s Great American State Fair, but Trump has now set his sights on Saturday’s Independence Day festivities—and it’s already throwing Washington D.C. into chaos.

“We are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA,’” he wrote on his Truth Social platform as he flagged the event earlier this month.

The “Salute to America” celebration will kick off at the National Mall at 7 p.m. on Saturday, with military flyovers, musical performances and a speech by the president.
