After giving up his idea for a huge military parade in Washington, President Donald Trump on Sunday announced a July 4 "Salute to America" that he predicted would be "one of the biggest gatherings" in the city's history.

"HOLD THE DATE" Trump said in one of a series of tweets early Sunday.

He said the event would be held at the Lincoln Memorial on the west end of the National Mall and would feature a "major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!"
In retreating from his plan last August, Trump wrote on Twitter: "Maybe we will do something next year in DC when the cost comes WAY DOWN. Now we can buy some more jet fighters!"
