Trump is relentlessly hyping his 4th of July party as the biggest 4th of July event in the history of the country, which would make it bigger than the Founding Fathers and Independence Day itself.
Trump promises the biggest 4th of July party in history
Trump tweeted:
Thanks to “Phantom Fireworks” and “Fireworks by Grucci" for their generosity in donating the biggest fireworks show Washington D.C. has ever seen. CEO's Bruce Zoldan and Phil Grucci are helping to make this the greatest 4th of July celebration in our Nations history!

If there is one thing that Donald Trump can be counted on to provide, it is overblown empty hype. Trump’s 4th of July propaganda fiesta is expected to run from 6:30 PM until 7:30 PM on the 4th of July. Trump is expecting people to cancel their regular 4th of July plans to listen to him give a speech that the White House is promising will be “uplifting and patriotic,” on a day when rain and thunderstorms are expected in DC.
The public reaction to Trump’s 4th of July hijack has been overwhelmingly negative. Most Americans don’t want Donald Trump interfering in their holiday, and they plan on ignoring him. Expect viewership to be low for Trump’s desperate cry for attention. Most people have better things to do with their time than listen to Donald Trump.
There will be better parties in backyards across America than what Trump is planning to waste millions of taxpayer dollars on in DC.
