The show was set to launch more than 80 times the typical amount of pyrotechnics used in the district for the Fourth of July.

Daily Beast: Trump spirals over crowd size after delivering July 4 speech to empty seats (LINK) — 5 July 2026

— Trump's night had been derailed after thousands of attendees were evacuated from the National Mall as thunderstorms rolled in roughly three hours before the scheduled start of his speech. In his Sunday post, the 80-year-old president claimed that 422,000 people had gathered to hear his speech before severe weather hit. But 150,000 returned. Even by Trump's own estimates, the crowd would still fall short of the turnout for the 1976 Bicentennial, which The New York Times reported at the time drew roughly 500,000 people for the parade alone, according to Newsweek.
