President Donald Trump gathered a crowd on the National Mall for what he described as the start of an "unforgettable birthday party" for America while also touting his own record during the campaign-style event.
Trump highlighted anti-transgender policies, praised immigration agents implementing his deportation push and promoted a preliminary peace deal with Iran at the June 24 rally, which marked the start of festivities leading up to the nation's 250th anniversary July Fourth.
The president hit on themes that are staples of his political rallies, all while a military band played and fighter jets flew overhead. The event was put on by Freedom 250, a public-private partnership set up by the president to promote the nation's milestone birthday.
The rally came amid concerns from opponents that the anniversary celebrations have become divisive and politically charged. Trump staged the event to kick off the Great American State Fair, replacing a concert series that fell apart when multiple musicians canceled, some citing concerns about politics.

As usual instead of 250th anniversary of America Trump makes it about himself.

You say you want a revolution, well, you know
We all wanna change the world
You tell me that it's evolution, well, you know
We all wanna change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out?
You say you got a real solution, well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution, well, you know
We're all doin' what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait
You say you'll change the constitution, well, you know
We all wanna change your head
You tell me it's the institution, well, you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright
Alright
Alright
