Supporters of US President Donald Trump gather in front of the White House in Washington, DC.WASHINGTON - Tanks in the heart of Washington, fighter jets screaming overhead, and a speech from the Lincoln Memorial: President Donald Trump is promising the"show of a lifetime" as he prepares to turn the Fourth of July into a personal primetime extravaganza.
"We have the greatest economy anywhere in the world. We have the greatest military anywhere in the world. Not bad!" he added. The modified Boeing 747 used as Air Force One will fly over, as will noisy, powerful warplanes expected to include F-35s, and jets from the Navy's Blue Angels air show team. July 4 is a unique holiday in that it is hyper-patriotic but free from usual Republican-Democratic fighting and it is far more civic than military in nature.
Counter-protesters plan to bring their own kind of political fireworks to the National Mall, the grassy park running three kilometres from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol. On Wednesday, one Code Pink activist held a sign near an armoured vehicle that read"Tanks But No Tanks," and #BoycottTrumps4thOfJuly was trending on Twitter in the US."Instead of addressing something like veteran homelessness, he's spending it on boosting his ego with a parade that's fundamentally about him," said Democratic presidential hopeful Julian Castro."What a waste of money.
