Plans for President Donald Trump's speech and what he has described as a record-breaking fireworks show are still on after severe thunderstorms wreaked havoc on Fourth of July celebrations in the Eastern United States.
From Washington, D.C., to Boston, Independence Day events are back on after brief delays due to inclement weather as the country marks its 250th anniversary. Trump’s “Salute to America” event was postponed until 11 p.m. due to “approaching severe weather.” In New York, organizers opted to launch fireworks early to beat weather concerns.
Festivities in Western and Central states, meanwhile, are chugging along as planned, with star-studded concert lineups taking the stage in Nashville and Los Angeles.
"Storms bring luck to whatever the occasion," Trump said in a Truth Social post. "They also make events a little bit more exciting! We will wait it out, I don’t care if it’s 2:00 O’Clock in the morning, or in one hour from now. Looks like it is going to pass, they always do. I will be there no matter what, but the “what” usually turns out to be a good thing."
