250th birthday celebrations

In a speech at Mount Rushmore, the US president claimed a resurgent 'communist menace' posed a threat to America, framing its supporters as 'the enemy of July 4th, 1776' during the 250th birthday celebrations. The speech was part of a tour commemorating the 250th anniversary of the US declaration of independence from Britain.

The Supreme Court has seven pending decisions, including a major case on birthright citizenship (Trump v. Barbara), before its July 1 deadline. President Donald Trump will attend events in North Dakota, visit Mount Rushmore, and participate in Washington, D.C.'s 250th anniversary celebrations, including a fireworks display on the National Mall.

The Trump administration compared its efforts to combat algae in Washington's reflecting pool to its conflict with Iran. The Interior department claims the water is 'crystal clear,' while witnesses report it is murky green. A $14.2m refurbishment was ordered to make the monument 'American Flag blue' for the 250th birthday celebrations.
