The president took to the podium at 11:15 p.m. EDT, echoing his past speeches by touting the ‘golden age of America’ and repeating unfounded claims of election fraud. Trump called for the passage of the SAVE Act in Congress, stating, ‘We want to keep America great, and we will do so by approving the Save America Act. You won’t have cheating on the elections anymore. It’s very simple.’

During his speech, Trump listed off a series of U.S. military achievements, including the January operation to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the war in Iran. He compared the latter to the sinking of the Spanish Armada in the Anglo-Spanish War in 1588, stating, ‘Much like our recent victory, by sinking the entire Iranian navy. One hundred and fifty-nine ships to the bottom of the sea, all done in just a moment’s time.’

Trump also focused his attention on communism, calling it a threat to the United States. ‘We don’t want communists in our country,’ he said. ‘It never worked and it never will work.’

The Fourth of July celebrations in Washington, D.C., were marked by a severe heatwave on the east coast and severe storms that forced the evacuation of the National Mall. The event was part of the America 250 celebration, which aimed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Trump’s speech was delayed due to the severe storms, which caused a two-hour evacuation of the National Mall. The president’s address was finally delivered at 11:15 p.m. EDT, amidst a rain-soaked and stormy backdrop.
