The takeover threatens to turn a nonpartisan national celebration on publicland into a Trump campaign rally
President Donald Trump is going full steam ahead with a plan he mentioned months ago to take over the traditional July 4th festivities on the National Mall, which now likely will feature a speech by him, The Washington Post reported.
Trump first mentioned his plans in February in a tweet, bizarrely urging followers to “HOLD THE DATE” — as if that had never occurred before to vacationing Americans. He promised then an “address by your favorite President, me!” — Donald J.

Bernhardt told the Post: “I think the president is excited about the idea, and we’re working hard on it, and I think it could be very, very meaningful. The president loves the idea, as probably all Americans do, of celebrating America on the Fourth of July, or thereabouts.” To preserve its nonpartisan character, presidents have not attended the public July 4th celebration on the National Mall.
