Despite the heat, which isn't as bad as predicted, the crowds in D.C. are INCREDIBLE! The love of our Country has never been stronger!

Despite the heat, Trump described the crowds as "INCREDIBLE!" and highlighted the impressive air shows, praising the pilots and equipment.

See you all later! Speaking at around 10:00 P.M. at The Lincoln Memorial.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance, speaking in New York Harbor, reflected on the enduring power of the Declaration of Independence. He quoted George Washington reading the words, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

The Reflecting Pool looks great, despite all it went through with the Vandal Thugs. Will quickly drain and fix the damage done right after this big weekend,

Vance emphasized that these words, even 250 years later, continue to resonate deeply with Americans and remind them of their identity. He argued that the American Revolution was rooted in a deeper civilizational tradition, stating that the patriots of 1776 understood themselves as heirs to an older civilization. He also criticized those who focus solely on the nation's imperfections, urging Americans to reject a "two-dimensional view" of their country and embrace its grace and greatness.

Happy Independence Day. Our Country is Stronger than EVER!!!
