This July 4 event follows an earlier announcement for a June 24 "Greatest Rally, EVER!" The initial June 24 concert series faced withdrawals from several musical artists who cited the event's politicized nature. Trump's June 24 promotion highlighted performances by military bands playing popular hits, tenor Christopher Macchio, and Lee Greenwood, singer of "God Bless the USA." He also mentioned impressive military flyovers by "Elite Pilots."

the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all.
