Trump Cabinet Member Struggles to Explain 250th Anniversary Project Funding

Burgum asserted the Freedom 250 celebration is nonpartisan and focused on national pride, despite President Trump’s own characterization of it as a “Make America Great Again rally.” Questions persist about the financial dealings and political implications of this large-scale endeavor, which aims to transform the National Mall.
