President Trump officially commenced the America 250 celebration, a yearlong commemoration of the nation's 250th birthday, with a launch event featuring military flyovers, patriotic performances, and his declaration that "America is back." This initiative includes a nationwide series of festivals, competitions, and patriotic events scheduled throughout the year.
