President Donald Trump is set to deliver a historic speech celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. The speech will take place on the National Mall at 10 p.m. on Saturday night, following a massive fireworks display.
America’s 250th Anniversary Celebration
The president’s address is expected to look back on America’s history since its founding 250 years ago. According to a senior White House official, the speech will feature the stories of American heroes.
Earlier on Saturday, Trump celebrated what he described as a ‘stronger than ever’ America in a social media post. He praised the ‘incredible’ crowds gathered in Washington despite the heat and storms.
The president also highlighted the air shows over the nation’s capital, saying the pilots and aircraft were ‘at a level never seen before.’ Trump addressed recent vandalism at the Reflecting Pool, calling those responsible ‘vandal thugs’ and promising the pool would be drained and repaired after the holiday weekend.
The president’s remarks come one day after he delivered a patriotic speech at Mount Rushmore, where he called the United States the ‘most exceptional nation ever to exist’ and warned that communism posed the nation’s greatest threat.
