Two days after President Donald Trump's Fourth of July address, attendees at the Great American State Fair told Fox News Digital they saw the speech as patriotic, not partisan."He's talking about taking down communism," David from New Jersey said."That's the definition of our whole country.Built on capitalism, that's our whole country.
If that's what he was talking about, I don't think that's political at all.It's just about the freedom that we have here.
If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't be here."Thousands of Americans packed the National Mall on Saturday to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary, touring exhibits from all 50 states despite sweltering heat and severe thunderstorms that temporarily paused celebrations.TRUMP SET TO DELIVER 'HISTORIC' SPEECH CELEBRATING AMERICA'S 250TH ANNIVERSARYAttendees at the Great American State Fair told Fox News Digital they saw President Trump's Fourth of July address as a celebration of American values.(Nicholas Ballasy for Fox News Digital)Hours later, President Donald Trump delivered his 37-minute address, honoring veterans and the nation's founding while declaring that "no dream in history is bigger" than the American experiment and adding, "We don't want communists in our country," before a record-setting fireworks display.Matt from Florida said that while others may have disliked Trump's speech, he saw it as a tribute to veterans and Medal of Honor recipients."It's really nice to see him share the stage instead of just giving a speech and going away like most presidents do," he said.
"It was just nice to actually see him treat the whole thing as a giant event as opposed to just a limelight on himself."MEDIA ATTACKS DONALD TRUMP'S FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION, CLAIMING IT 'SULLIED' AMERICA 250President Donald Trump speaks during Salute to America, an Independence Day event honoring the nation's 250th anniversary, Saturday, July 4, 2026, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)Ed and Linda ...
