250 years of America: Trump's speech delayed by storm

The celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States in Washington were disrupted by severe weather conditions. A thunderstorm forced the evacuation of the National Mall, where thousands had gathered to watch a flyover by fighter jets and listen to a speech by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The storm caused delays of over an hour for both Trump's address and the subsequent fireworks display. Despite the disruption, Trump insisted he would deliver his speech regardless of the circumstances, commenting on social media that storms add excitement to events. During the evacuation, chaotic scenes unfolded, with some people refusing to leave the fenced area while others rushed back in shouting 'Trump, Trump,' and others trying to seek shelter from lightning.
