Donald Trump appeared from the Washington Monument and under a light drizzle to celebrate the country's 250th anniversary in a markedly patriotic speech. Amidst the mud of the Iran war, the rising cost of living and the isolation of traditional allies , the US president has wanted to underline the "exceptional" character of the country. "No people have done more good, shown more courage, made more progress, corrected more injustices, or achieved more greatness than you, the American people," he defended, assuring that "we are a nation of winners".
