June 15 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said Monday that he will hold a rally on the National Mall during America's 250th anniversary celebration on the Fourth of July.
The rally will be held on the National Mall alongside the anniversary celebration, the president posted on social media.
"On July 4th, at The Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, in beautiful and safe Washington D.C., we are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a 'TRIBUTE TO AMERICA,'" Trump wrote. "Starting at 7 P.M. EST, this HUGE Celebration will honor our Country's People, Spirit, Strength, Resolve and Triumphs."
Trump's plan to hold a political rally breaks from the tradition of the White House treating Fourth of July celebrations as nonpartisan events that celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
