Trump’s Fourth of July Show Took $2.5 Million From National Parks
On July 4, the National Mall in Washington, DC, played host to one of the largest shows of military might that the capital has ever seen. Armored tanks, parked in front of the Lincoln Memorial, served as the backdrop for an Independence Day speech by President Donald Trump, which was punctuated by a number of scheduled flyovers by military aircraft. The event was promoted as a tribute to our country’s power and was inspired by the president’s trip to a Bastille Day celebration in France back in 2017.
