president trump took center stage this fourth of july, a celebration in front of the lincoln memorial complete with a crowd of supporters, tanks, armored vehicles, and a blue angels flyover. trump skipped the usual lines that are favorites at his rallies, instead sticking to a speech full of america s military might and national identi identity. as long as we stay true to our coats, as long as we remember our great history, as long as we never, ever stop fighting for a better future, then there will be nothing that america cannot do. trump has wanted a large-scale military display for years, ever since he participated in france s bastille day celebration in 2017. plans for a veterans day parade
