(Red State)—July 4th was a true study in contrasts.
You had Americans celebrating the holiday across the country.
President Donald Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and saluted the military in an amazing event on the South Lawn at the White House. It was quite something, and it looked to me like the First Lady was visibly moved.

Fox 11 also noted the crowd was smaller than they had seen in the past.
