President Trump filed his review of Saturday's Washington fireworks display on Truth Social approximately as quickly as a person can exit a stage, declaring the show “the best fireworks show, EVER” in the moments following his address to the nation marking America's 250th birthday.
The evening had not gone entirely to plan. Weather-related delays pushed portions of the celebration off schedule, a detail the post did not dwell on.
The address itself — delivered on the National Mall — was the occasion. The fireworks were, by the president's own published accounting, the story.
Truth Social received the verdict before most attendees had left the lawn.
