It\u2019s gonna be 107!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSalute to America\u201d celebration will kick off at the National Mall at 7 p.m. on Saturday, with military flyovers, musical performances, and a speech by the president. Trump even plans to crank out music from his own personal playlist.<\/p>\n<p>But the National Weather Service is forecasting 100-plus temperatures for much of the day, with the heat index climbing even higher. <\/p>\n<p>The traditionally family-friendly fireworks, which usually kick off at 9 p.m., now won\u2019t start until about 10:30 p.m. or 11 p.m. to account for Trump\u2019s speech. The pyrotechnic show will reportedly last about 40 minutes and be the largest in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>Because Trump has made himself the centerpiece of the event, the Mall has been designated a National Special Security Event, with TSA-style magnetometers and only two entry points.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cprohibited items list\u201d reviewed by the Daily Beast also shows that backpacks, coolers, and camping chairs are not permitted. Attendees won\u2019t be able to bring in food or water bottles, although these can be purchased inside.<\/p>\n<p>The dramatically delayed fireworks show has left party planners scrambling to rewrite their schedules, while parents are bracing for overtired meltdowns and pet owners are dreading a late-night barrage of explosions.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the White House, there\u2019s also growing concern about how many people will actually show up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is meant to be about celebrating our nation, so we hope to see as many people as possible,\u201d one insider told the Daily Beast.<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately return a request for official comment. <\/p>\n<p>Last Wednesday, as Trump kicked off the Great American State Fair with a rally on the other side of the National Mall, he took a moment to beg people to attend this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2659\">Tone-Deaf MAGA Congressman Makes Wild \u2018Lobster\u2019 Brag<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn July 4th, we will have the greatest show of all on the National Mall. Your favorite president will be speaking. So please show up. Because if we have two empty seats, you know what\u2019s gonna happen? The fake news is gonna say, \u2018He didn\u2019t fill out the arena,\u2019\u201d he told his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The fixation on attendance numbers echoes one of the defining controversies of Trump\u2019s first presidency, when his administration fiercely disputed estimates showing his 2017 inauguration crowd was smaller than former President Barack Obama\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a day after images showed less-than-expected crowds at his American State Fair rally on Wednesday night\u2014including scores of people walking out during his speech\u2014the president even put out a self-soothing post declaring the area was \u201cpacked to the brim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish we were able to have an even larger area, which we will be able to do on July 4th when I\u2019ll be speaking again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has also acknowledged that many families will likely opt to skip the National Mall altogether, predicting people would instead watch the fireworks from elsewhere rather than endure the lengthy evening downtown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[In previous years] people have generally watched the fireworks, gotten on the Metro, and they\u2019re home by 11 o\u2019clock,\u201d Bowser said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year they\u2019re going to be starting at 11 o\u2019clock, and so the thing to remember, especially with this heat, is that\u2019s a long, long day&#8230; I\u2019m expecting that families with small children are going to decide that the children should watch on TV or watch at a neighborhood event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president has repeatedly promoted Saturday\u2019s event as a massive \u201cTribute to America,\u201d but this year\u2019s Independence Day celebrations bear little resemblance to the traditional family-focused festivities D.C. residents have come to expect.<\/p>\n<p>Security planning has been underway for months, but the foiled plot to attack Trump\u2019s UFC birthday bash at the White House this month meant that authorities \u201cremain in a heightened threat environment,\u201d said Secret Service Special Agent Tara McLeese.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis weekend, hundreds of federal agents and officers, including Secret Service specialized tactical units, counter drone teams, National Guard members, and a variety of additional unseen resources will be used to disrupt any bad actor,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Critics have hit out at the fact that a traditionally bipartisan event has essentially been hijacked and turned into what Trump himself described as a \u201cTrump rally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn July 4th, at The Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, in beautiful and safe Washington D.C., we are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a \u2018TRIBUTE TO AMERICA,\u2019\u201d he wrote on Truth Social. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cTo conclude the program, and commemorate this Historic Occasion, I will be launching, what will be, the LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY, right here in our Nation\u2019s Capital.
