Trump’s ‘show will go on’ as storm cells clear and crowds return for 250th event

Donald Trump's 'Salute to America 250' speech on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., proceeded after being postponed by severe weather. Thousands were evacuated as a safety measure due to heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds threatening infrastructure. Trump insisted the event would continue, emphasizing resilience and patriotism despite the weather.

Analysts suggest the lack of interest reflects broader disapproval of Trump's leadership and his approach to commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary. Critics argue Trump's efforts to personalize the celebration, such as transforming the National Mall into a state fair, reveal a disconnect with public sentiment.
