Trump Turns Kickoff of 250th Anniversary Celebrations into Campaign Rally

WASHINGTON D.C. — President Donald Trump officially launched the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States on Wednesday night, aiming to rally the country… around himself. The president held a rally at the National Mall in Washington that featured roaring flyovers of stealth bombers, music from military bands, and a performance by Lee Greenwood singing 'God Bless the USA.' 'There has never been anything like the United States of America, and together, we are making it greater, better, stronger, and much more exceptional than ever,' Trump declared. He claimed to have restored greatness to the country and proclaimed, 'No one laughs at us anymore.' As is typical in his rallies, Trump defended his hardline policy on the U.S.-Mexico border and his opposition to transgender rights. However, perhaps in a nod to the anniversary celebrations, he was noticeably less critical of Democrats than usual; at least to some extent. 'The American Dream is alive again. It’s something nobody thought I would say after going through those last four years of incompetence,' Trump said. The president also mentioned his controversial efforts to remodel the Reflecting Pool near the Lincoln Memorial and to build a ballroom at the White House.
