President Trump kicked off his Sunday tweet-fest by announcing a Fourth of July extravaganza dubbed “A Salute to America” that he promises will be “one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, DC.”

“HOLD THE DATE!” he tweeted to his more than 58 million followers. “We will be having one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C., on July 4th. It will be called ‘A Salute To America’ and will be held at the Lincoln Memorial.”

He added, “Major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!”

Trump first hinted about plans of the Fourth of July blowout earlier this month, saying it could “become a tradition” — even though the city already has its own parade, concert and fireworks display on Independence Day.

“We’re thinking about doing on the Fourth of July or thereabouts a parade, a ‘Salute to America’ parade. It’ll be a, really a gathering as opposed to a parade, I guess you’d have to say,” he told reporters during a White House Cabinet meeting. “Perhaps at the Lincoln Memorial, we’re looking at sites. But we’re thinking about doing something which would become perhaps become a tradition . . . on July Fourth or July Fourth weekend.”

Trump had long dreamed of hosting a military parade in the nation’s Capitol — but the plans were scrapped in August after Defense Department officials said it could cost as much as $92 million.
