😂 CNN still doesn’t understand why Vanilla Ice would be honored to perform for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Vanilla Ice: “I'm proud to be an American. I was born here and raised here, this is my country, and I don't like anybody telling me I really can't be proud of it. And this is a huge honor to play the birthday.” His answer couldn’t be more patriotic. 🇺🇸

Pennsylvania is one of the greatest agricultural states in America—and as one of our original 13 colonies, it deserves to be represented at the Great American State Fair as we celebrate 250 years of American agriculture and our nation's founding. I'm grateful to Senator Dave McCormick and U.S. Senator John Fetterman for stepping up to help ensure the Keystone State has a place on the National Mall. From dairy and mushrooms to apples, poultry, and so much more, Pennsylvania's farmers, ranchers, and producers have helped feed America for generations. This celebration is about honoring the people and places that built our country. Pennsylvania belongs at the heart of it, and I look forward to welcoming the Commonwealth to the Great American State Fair. 🇺🇸🌾

Everything, as we know, is bigger and better under President Donald J. Trump. 🇺🇸 Nearly 250 years ago, Caesar Rodney rode 80 miles through the night to cast the deciding vote for American independence. Just days later, our Founders declared that this nation would stand free. Now, we're celebrating America's 250th birthday on the National Mall with the Great American State Fair—and this week will culminate in what is set to be the biggest fireworks show in world history. This is a celebration worthy of the greatest nation the world has ever known. Thank you to Rob Schmitt and NEWSMAX for having me on tonight.

President Trump hypes up the massive, high-speed racing event set to take over the nation's capital on August 22nd and 23rd, promising a historic spectacle down Pennsylvania Avenue to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. The event will feature cars reaching speeds of over 190 mph racing around the National Mall. "It's going to be a sight for the ages. It really will be something special. And they're going to go all around the National Mall at speeds that are not quite- if we did that during the regular day, I think people would be put in jail, perhaps for the rest of their lives."
