LIVE: 4th Of July Across America

President Trump: Tonight we come together for one of the most joyous and glorious milestones of all-time, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. For two and a half centuries, our American Republic has stood as the crowning achievement of human history. This country is the home of freedom, this is the land of liberty, and this is a flag that's the banner of the most extraordinary, most exceptional, most incredible nation ever to exist on the face of the Earth, and we're doing better now that we've ever done before.

President Trump: Here on our National Mall, we are celebrating freedom's triumphs over tyranny, liberty's conquest over oppression, and the enduring victory of the American Spirit from the July 4th, 1776, to July 4th, 2026. And tonight, our country is stronger, freer, richer, safer, and prouder than ever before.

President Trump: We are One People, we are One Family; you showed that tonight, with One Flag, and as our Declaration of Independence tells us, we are all made in the image on One Almighty God.

President Trump: America will never be a communist country. Won't happen. Communism is a loser, and it always will be. The communist system is the opposite of the American system, and the communist system has never worked. Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world only to have that menace rear it's ugly head right back here in America. We're not going to let it happen. We like to stop a threat like that immediately, and before it begins; it's like a cancer. You got to cut it out, you got to cut it out fast.

President Trump: The Stars and Stripes cast the hammer and sickle into oblivion before, and we will do it again if necessary. I don't think it's gonna be necessary; I think people have learned. They've learned what to do and how to handle it, and we're gonna handle it very well.

President Trump: From the bustling factories of the heartland, to the towering snow-capped summits of Alaska, from the endless frontier of the open wild west, to the magnificent sand dunes at Kitty Hawk, from the glimmering skyline of Manhattan, to the far side of the Moon. And from the now safe and beautiful capital of Washington, D.C., to the gleaming waters of the Gulf of America, there is no challenge Americans can not overcome. There is no place we can not go. There is no goal we can not reach. And there is nothing Americans can not do.

President Trump: At two hundred and fifty years old, we may be the oldest Constitutional Republic on Earth, but our country is just getting started, because the best is yet to come. This is only the dawn of the Golden Age of America, and on this two hundred and fiftieth Fourth of July, we declare, just as they did two and a half centuries ago, that for our country, and for our children, and for the cause of liberty, we are going to take our country to new levels. To levels not reached. We're gonna make it bigger, better, stronger, and we're gonna love it even more.
