US President Donald Trump announced plans on Monday to hold a major rally in Washington on July 4 for the United States’ 250th anniversary, in addition to a concert event 10 days earlier.
The president had previously said the June 24 event would be the “Greatest Rally, EVER!… A Rally to end all Rallies!” and include performances by military bands and some of his favorite singers.
It was put together after several musical artists pulled out of a 250th anniversary concert series in the US capital, with some citing the politicized nature of the event.
But on Monday, Trump said the new July 4 event would be “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all.”
