Trump Caps America’s 250th Birthday with Speech and Fireworks Display

President Trump wrapped up the country’s 250th birthday celebration on July Fourth with a lengthy speech followed by a fireworks display.

The milestone anniversary of American independence was not without its challenges — extreme heat gripped the day and forced the cancellation of a number of planned events before the evening’s festivities got underway.

Despite the difficult conditions earlier in the day, the celebration concluded with the president’s address and a fireworks show to mark the historic occasion.
