President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States would celebrate its 250th birthday with the “largest fireworks show of all time.”  Trump said on Truth Social that he plans to host “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all” at the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in the nation’s capital on July 4. The event, called a “Tribute to America” will feature military bands, military flyovers, and fireworks.  Trump said that a variety of military bands would play patriotic classics in the “largest formation of Joint Military Music and Ceremonial performances in History” and a “playlist” selected by him as well.  “Starting at 7 P.M. EST, this HUGE Celebration will honor our Country’s People, Spirit, Strength, Resolve, and Triumphs,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “With the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding the beautifully new Reflecting Pool, more than 300 Members of our strong and talented Military Bands, Orchestras, and Ceremonial Units, will perform Patriotic Melodies and American Classics, and my Playlist (We will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly complain!), as we celebrate our Country, and Rally into the next 250 years.” Trump said the event would include an air show featuring “incredible flyovers” and said that he would give a speech. “To conclude the program, and commemorate this Historic Occasion, I will be launching, what will be, the LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY, right here in our Nation’s Capital. Do not miss it,” Trump added.  The president’s promise of a historic fireworks show appeared to follow the advice of Founding Father John Adams, who once said that America’s independence should be celebrated with “bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more.” In a separate post, Trump said that the kickoff for the summer of celebrating America’s 250th anniversary would take place on June 24 with music performed by the Army and Marine Corps military bands and Lee Greenwood. He said that Air Force fighter jets and stealth bombers would fly over for the ceremony taking place on the National Mall.  “This Patriotic Tribute will take place on the Main Stage at the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair located on our Majestic National Mall, in what is now one of the safest Cities in the World, Washington D.C., which we are beautifying to levels never seen before,” Trump said.  Trump’s announcement of the Fourth of July celebration comes after he hosted a UFC fight at the White House punctuated by a flyover by the Navy’s Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds.
