For the first time as president, Donald Trump doesn’t appear to have any public events on his calendar for 4th of July.

But it’s the Fourth of July weekend, and the Trumps must celebrate maximally. On July 4 2025, Donald and Melania hosted an Independence Day picnic for the military and their families, after Trump signed his ‘big, beautiful’ bill into law there and then that included significant tax cuts, more defence spending, and a focus on stemming immigration.

Melania Trump’s $2,000 heels and bold July 4 outfit went viral, sparking social media buzz and political backlash online.
