A look
inside Fourth of July at the White House
On
July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted
Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. A
quarter-century later, in 1801, President Jefferson would host
the White House's first Fourth of July celebration. Modern
Presidents have continued his tradition.
Yesterday,
President Donald J. Trump and the First Lady welcomed
military families and other guests to the White House South
Lawn for music, food, and a front-row seat to the stunning
fireworks display over our Nation's capital. "The immortal
story of the American warrior is written in the fields of
Gettysburg, the sands of Iwo Jima, the mountains of
Afghanistan, and the snow of Valley Forge," President
Trump said.
The
President was in West Virginia Tuesday night for
another celebration of our troops, a Salute to Service Dinner
in White Sulphur Springs. "For 242 years—it's a long
time—American independence has endured because of the sweat,
blood, and sacrifice of the American armed forces,"
President Trump said. "It's the greatest force for peace
and justice in the history of the world."
An economy
that works for everyone
Last
week, the Administration celebrated the six-month
anniversary of President Trump signing sweeping tax cuts into
law. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin explained
why tax reform has been central to America's economic
resurgence.
"When
I traveled with the President during the campaign, we
met with many people who explained that the economy was not
working for them," Secretary Mnuchin writes. "The tax
cuts' positive results for the American people are here. Many
provisions that have improved business competitiveness are
permanent, including lower corporate rates . . . Substantial
economic progress and greater prosperity are already being
achieved."
