President Trump has laid tentative plans to upend the traditional Fourth of July celebrations in Washington, moving the fireworks show from the National Mall and perhaps including an address from the President himself, The Washington Post reports
The fireworks display on the Mall has been a time-honored nonpartisan tradition for nearly half a century, and Trump's new vision for Independence Day has caused a stir among city officials and lawmakers, the Post reports.
Since attending the Bastille Day celebration in Paris in 2017, Trump has made a public push for large-scale events where he is the centerpiece. In early 2018, the administration planned a military parade for Veterans Day that was to include tanks rolling through the nation's capital. The event was eventually postponed, then canceled due to its high costs.
