How did President Trump mark America's 250th birthday at Mount Rushmore?
Ahead of today's 4th of July festivities in D.C., President Trump ushered in America's 250th birthday from Mount Rushmore in South Dakota Friday night.
Show us a mountain and we'll just climb it. Show us an ocean and we'll just cross it. Show us a problem and we will just solve it. Show us a task the world calls impossible and Americans will get it done.
Meantime, New York City celebrating the nation's semi-quincentennial by holding eight ball drops in Times Square, the first one at midnight local time. And each of those ball drops will take place at midnight for every American time zone. Some Republicans and Democrats seem to be sharing a split message as Americans celebrate this Independence Day.
As President Trump celebrated America's 250th anniversary at Mount Rushmore, some Democrats delivered a markedly different message.
What contrasting Independence Day messages did Democrats and Republicans deliver?
Here in New York City, Democratic Socialist Mayor Zoran Mamdani said, flanked by newly naturalized Americans and seated on George Washington's desk, marked America's 250th by delivering a blistering critique of ICE and wealthy elites, including Elon Musk, in what he called an arena of supremacy. The contrast comes as a new Fox News poll finds a sharp partisan split on national pride, with 83 percent of Republicans saying they're proud of America, compared with 27 percent of Democrats.
Fox's Chanley Painter. This comes as a wave of candidates describing themselves as democratic socialists are making ground ahead of November's midterm elections. In his speech last night, President Trump vowed America would, quote, never be a communist country. America is listening to Fox News.
