Trump Delivers Partisan July 4 Speech After Storm

Severe thunderstorms and a blistering heat dome forced the evacuation of the National Mall during President Trump’s 250th Independence Day speech.

The weather delayed the address, but Trump later returned to mix patriotic applause with partisan attacks.

The sparse crowds in sweltering heat led to a social media meltdown by the president, who posted over 100 times in an eleven-hour period.

The speech and its aftermath highlighted the volatile political climate on a day meant to celebrate national unity.
