Trump said that he will give his July 4 remarks tonight "no matter what" as thousands of attendees in Washington, D.C., continue to shelter in place due to approaching severe storms in the area.
"Storms bring luck to whatever the occasion.
They also make events a little bit more exciting!"
the president wrote in a post on Truth Social.
"We will wait it out, I don’t care if it’s 2:00 o’clock in the morning, or in one hour from now."
"It’s Saturday night, LETS HAVE SOME FUN, even if we are out late tonight.
They say 11:00 o’clock for the speech.
Who cares???"
Trump wrote.
Freedom 250 spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement that the gates to the event will reopen at 9:45 pm ET "at President Donald J.
Trump's direction," about two hours after thousands of attendees were directed to take shelter in nearby buildings.
“America, it’s time to celebrate!"
Alvarez said in the statement.
"The Salute to America celebration will move forward, the President will deliver remarks at 11:00 PM, and the fireworks spectacular will follow."
Trump wrote that he would be "leaving the White House soon" in the post at 9:05 pm.
"Our great veterans, especially the old timers, many of whom are there, went through hellfire, and it didn’t stop them," the president wrote.
"It’s not going to stop us either!
I’m not going to let some rain stop our 250th."
