President Donald Trump announced Monday that a July 4th event on the National Mall in Washington, planned to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, will be a “Trump rally.”

In a Truth Social post Monday morning, Trump said the event, which is slated to be held near the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, will be “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.’”

But Freedom 250, the public-private White House-backed partnership charged with coordinating events to mark the country’s semiquincentennial, does not describe the event as a “Trump rally.” Instead, that organization calls it a “Salute To America 250 Celebration & Fireworks.”

“As America marks its 250th anniversary, Salute to America will stand as a defining celebration of the people, principles, and patriotic spirit that make the United States the greatest nation in the world,” Freedom 250’s event description says, which does not mention the president by name.

Trump’s apparent reframing of the July 4th event marked the latest example of his politicization of events meant to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary.
