Trump celebrates July 4th: "The identity of the USA is under attack, communism is a threat"

US identity is “under attack” due to the resurgence of the “communism“. Il President of the United States, Donald Trumplashed out at “radicals and extremists” who would threaten the country from within in his speech on the eve of the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Trump’s speech, delivered from the symbolic place of US history: the Monte Rushmore in South Dakota, where four faces of presidents are carved into the rock. These are the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln e Theodore Roosevelt. The Republican businessman celebrated past leaders, including those whose faces are carved on the iconic monument.

“As we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under renewed attack,” Trump warned, according to whom “there is now a resurgence” of the “threat of communism” is a theme that the New York real estate developer has increasingly pressed in recent weeks, which have seen the socialist wing of the Democratic Party achieve more than one success in the primary elections, ahead of the mid-term elections.

“In recent years there has been an undeniable attempt to change this exceptional character, to take away the American spirit, to distance ourselves from our history”, said Trump, who instead softened his tone on immigrants who “do not have to be born here, but must love what we have built”.

Today the rally on the National Mall in Washington

Trump is scheduled to give another speech on the National Mall in Washington today to mark the Fourth of July. It will be a real political rally, complete with military planes and a fireworks display announced as the largest ever. A Trump-linked organization called Freedom 250 took control of several celebrations at the expense of the bipartisan group America250.

ùThis, according to many commentators, would have contributed to keeping some citizens away from the celebrations, which will also coincide with a dangerous heat wave. 41 degrees centigrade is expected in the US capital. Trump promised “a very long speech.” “Just to show that I can do anything,” he explained.
