As our nation commemorates Independence Day 2025, President Donald Trump is already planning next year's celebration; a UFC cage match on the White House lawn with 20,000 lucky fans.
“We’ve got a lot of land there,” Trump reminded a crowd yesterday, explaining his concept of turning the front lawn into Fight Club next July 4. Perhaps, Mar-a-Lago was already booked.
This bit of theater is just one of the many items on Trump’s 2026 birthday wish list for America, which also includes high schoolers doing Olympic-style athletics for some reason, a state fair so massive it may blot out the sun, and, of course, an extremely tasteful finale on the National Mall, because nothing says dignity like fireworks spelling out TRUMP across the Lincoln Memorial.
But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about spectacle. It’s about legacy. History. A time for Trump to dust off his beloved 1776 Commission, the one written by exactly zero historians.
After the January 6 insurrection, many thought Trump would spend the rest of his days yelling at his TV, but, somehow, he won the 2025 election and now we're stuck with a self-promoting extravaganza in 2026, sort of like a Civil War reenactment on steroids.
Trump's plans include the "National Garden of American Heroe honored in a sculpture park with 244 names already announced including Billy Graham, Muhammad Ali, Daniel Boone, Kobe Bryant, Julia Child, Steve Jobs, Elvis Presley, John Wayne and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Modestly, Trump has still not given up his plan to join the likes of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln on the iconic Mount Rushmore.
