As you know, the US independence Day in July, but Donald trump has decided now is the time to announce a Grand festival in Washington (D. C.).
«July 4, we will host one of the largest festive gatherings in the history of Washington. It will be called “salute to America” and will take place at the Lincoln Memorial. The main fireworks, entertainment and the appeal of your favorite President — me!» — «modestly» said the President yesterday, February 24, in his microblog.
It is not clear whether referred to by the tramp of the occasion to complement or to «compete» with the traditional celebration on the National Mall (the Mall), which is held for decades. There is also no information about who will host the celebration.
«Although a final decision has not been made, we continue to work on the creation of the program «salute to America», which will bring together Americans across the country in celebration of the birth of our great nation, — said in an email to the official representative of the national Park Service Mike Litterst. — For specific questions regarding the content of the presidential tweets, contact the White house».
The white house official comments have not yet provided.
In 2018 Donald trump would be held in the capital on Pennsylvania Avenue, military parade, but this idea was not supported (primarily because of budget problems). And the mayor of Washington (D. C.) Muriel Bowser spoke briefly and emphatically, «Thanks, but no tanks.»
Despite the fact that the celebration of independence Day in the Mall usually attracts tens of thousands of people, it does not hold the record in Washington (D. C.).
Among the largest collections on the National Mall in history — the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009 and the Women’s March of 2017. In each of these events were attended by over a million people.
