Speaking on Monday, President Trump, ebullient after the strong approval he got from much of the American public after his July 4 salute to the military, stated that he would like to make it an annual event.
The president asserted in the East Room of the White House, “In spite of the heavy rain, and it was really heavy, we had a remarkable salute to America on the National Mall. These incredible big beautiful crowds, braving the weather all the way, back to the Washington Monument. It was something really special. And I will say this — it was a wonderful day for all Americans. And based on its tremendous success, we’re just making the decision, and I think we can say we’ve made the decision to do it again next year. And maybe we can say, for the foreseeable future.”
