President Trump said Tuesday hes thinking about putting on a Fourth of July parade or other gathering in Washington, D.C., suggesting it could "become a tradition," even though a similar event already exists.
Trump suggested during a Cabinet meeting that his proposed event could take place at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall.
It could be a very exciting day, Trump said, calling it a "salute to America."
"It'll be a, really a gathering, as opposed to a parade I guess you'd have to say," he continued. "Perhaps at the Lincoln Memorial. We're looking at sites. But we're thinking about doing something which would become perhaps, become a tradition, Salute to America, on July 4th or July 4th weekend, somewhere around that area."
D.C. already has established Fourth of July celebrations that include fireworks along the National Mall, a free concert and a parade down Constitution Avenue.
The mayor's office said it has not received any information from the White House about a Fourth of July celebration.
The official tourism site of Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's idea.

(7,947 posts)The provinciality of this man is really appalling. What's the use of all that money if you travel between Manhattan and Florida and a few golf courses?
I remember reading an article about Mrs. Melania Trump's instagrams from before the campaign, and how the photos were almost all taken through a window. She sounded like the most bored/boring person in the world-- I mean, sure, it was sad, but when you're that rich,you have to choose to be that isolated.
But now it's pretty clear they never even watch TV-- hard to miss the coverage every year.

(10,130 posts)"People are saying that we should celebrate with a parade. Maybe fireworks. And we should do it in July. The 4th maybe, or the 5th, but in July. It's never been done before, but it is something that my administration is looking at strongly"
"The Democrats are against it, but we've got to get back to winning. And we should celebrate that winning."
F'ing idiot wants to take credit for the sun rising.
