Uncertainty prevails over Trump's Fourth of July arrangements, which are yet to be disclosed

The Fourth of July celebrations in Washington D.C. are shrouded in uncertainty, as President Donald Trump plans to give a speech, according to a February tweet announcing a special "Salute to America." The details of the event, however, remain unclear.

The National Park Service, primarily responsible for the event, has gone silent, leaving the city government in the dark. Interdepartmental planning meetings for July 4, which typically begin up to three months in advance, have not yet taken place.

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, has changed her plans to protest in Havana and is now organizing a protest against the Trump administration's new restrictions on travel to Cuba, due to the potential July 4 Trump speech. Nadine Bloch, a local organizer with a decades-long history of protest, sees a potential July 4 Trump speech as an opportunity for leftist activists to appear before TV cameras and get a large audience for their messages. However, she fears there's a risk that protesters could overplay their hand and end up being blamed for ruining the Fourth of July.

Adam Eidinger, a prominent local activist, predicts that attempts to disrupt the potential July 4 Trump speech will be easily suppressed, with security concerns as a justification. He also suggests that the potential July 4 Trump speech might be a trap to get the opposition to come out and potentially disrupt the Fourth of July celebrations.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia's representative in Congress, has approached the Park Service for details but received no information. If Trump gives a speech, it's uncertain whether it will be open to anyone or restricted to Trump supporters. There are concerns that a potential July 4 Trump speech might create "a VIP section" where only Trump supporters are allowed.

Mayor Muriel Bowser declined repeated requests for comment. Some D.C. activists see a potential July 4 Trump speech as a golden opportunity to disrupt Trump in a way he's not used to, while others fear that an attempt to directly confront Trump or disrupt the event could backfire.

The White House has reportedly requested a shift of the celebration to the Lincoln Memorial. Eidinger, along with others, is leaning toward sitting out the potential July 4 Trump speech event due to concerns about security and potential suppression of protests.

As the Fourth of July approaches, the city and its activists are uncertain about how to respond to a potential July 4 Trump speech. There is a delicate balance in deciding how to respond, as protesters could end up making more enemies. The potential July 4 Trump speech is a topic that the White House and the National Park Service have refused to comment on.
