Trump defends cost of having tanks and military planes at his July 4 celebration, saying “the cost of our great Salute to America tomorrow will be very little compared to what it is worth'
On the eve of his planned July 4 celebration in Washington, D.C., President Trump pushed back against criticism over the amount of money it is costing American taxpayers.
On Tuesday, the president announced that Phantom Fireworks and Fireworks by Grucci were donating their services for the “biggest fireworks show Washington D.C. has ever seen.” Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser told NPR that she has “some concerns about a president not celebrating the military but glorifying military might.”The White House is distributing VIP tickets to Republican donors and political appointees for the event, prompting objections from Democratic lawmakers who say that the Trump campaign should foot the bill.“This is beyond the pale,” tweeted Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M.
