Trump turns America's 250th birthday celebration into a campaign-style rally on the National Mall
Newsmax—President Trump converted the official kickoff of America's 250th anniversary celebration on the National Mall into what observers described as a campaign-style political rally. AP and Reuters both reported the event took the tone of a political gathering rather than a nonpartisan national commemoration. The Globe and Mail noted the rally came amid falling approval ratings for Trump. Historians cited by ABC News criticized the political framing of a celebration meant to mark the country's founding, not a political party.
