President Donald Trump has vowed to deliver a 'really long speech' on the National Mall this Saturday even as Washington DC faces near-record heat for America's 250th birthday. The crowds he wants to draw will contend with a cooler ban, airport-style security, and fireworks that may not end until after midnight.
'On July Fourth it's going to be approximately 107 degrees (41.6°C) out, and I'm going to go and I'm going to make a really long speech, just to show that I can do anything,' the president said Wednesday at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota.
