By Jarrett Renshaw
June 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that a July 4 celebration on the National Mall marking the nation's 250th anniversary would double as one of his signature rallies, blurring the line between official commemoration and political event.
Critics have accused Trump of using presidential events and public spaces to promote his political brand, and his decision to label the celebration as a rally is likely to intensify that scrutiny.
"We are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a 'TRIBUTE TO AMERICA,'" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The event is part of the administration's broader "Freedom 250" programming. Trump said it will feature military bands, flyovers and a large-scale fireworks display between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.

Because Trump hates America and wants to make it all about himself.

(5,336 posts)and the American moderates and liberals really SHOULD reclaim
the "Don't Tread On Me" flag! They are now being 'tread on' by Trump
much more deliberately and 'with malice aforethought' and outright HATRED
than conservatives, Republicans and so-called 'tea-baggers'
were ever 'tread upon' by Presidents Obama and Biden!! Honestly,
their use of that flag against Obama/Biden lacked any basis in fact---
their major complaint boiled down to
"we lost some elections, and we are SORE LOSERS!"
THAT Flag was a symbol of resistance to a tyrannical KING---
and we ALL know who most resembles THAT, just now !!!
