President Trump on Wednesday vowed that he will deliver a long speech on the National Mall for the U.S.’s 250th birthday, even as forecasters anticipate temperatures climbing to 107 degrees.

“By the way, on July 4th, it’s going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I’m going to go, and I’m going to make a really long speech just to show that I can do anything,” Trump said during his appearance at the opening ceremony for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, N.D.

Saturday’s “Salute to America 250 Celebration & Fireworks” event on the National Mall is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., with Trump slated to speak at 9:45 p.m. EDT. Freedom 250, the Trump administration’s organization behind the scenes operating the Great American State Fair along the National Mall, will also orchestrate the Salute to America event.

Could Trump pull a William Henry Harrison?

1. It will be after sunset. No joy in watching if he isn't melting in the sun!

[generalbetrayus]

2. Temperatures in DC are slow to decrease after the sun goes down. It will still be quite hot at 9:45 PM.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

[twodogsbarking]

18. He will only smell worse.

Oh my.

[Midnight Writer]

3. That ought to pack in the crowds!

Who wouldn't jump at the chance to stand in 107-degree heat for two hours to listen to an 80-year-old billionaire complain about how badly everyone treats him?

Bigger than Elvis, ladies and gentlemen, and he does it all without a guitar!

[johnnyplankton]

4. After 45 minutes of windbaggery, hopefully they'll aim the fireworks at him...

It's the patriotic thing to do

[Ray Bruns]

5. Who in god's name is going to go listen to this blowhard speak at 9:45 pm in this heat?

This is who

[Bengus81]

6. I won't watch a second of his BS or the fireworks. I will glance at my 17' flagpole

that hasn't had my oversized American flag on it since Jan 2025 and know better days will be here again.

A hearty FUCK YOU to Fat HITLER........................

[Joinfortmill]

7. Works for me. Keep talking.

Where's the water? Can't find the water?

[Dulcinea]

8. Will they make manly military members show up?

Like they did for his white trash birthday party?

[Fil1957]

9. Go for it Donald! Wear a suit and tie and make the speech as long as possible! Also make sure you slather as much

orange pancake makeup on your face as you can!

[QueerDuck]

10. Compensating, obviously. 🍄 (Stormy Daniels knows.)

[Mz Pip]

11. For God's sake

Just die.

Maybe he will melt in the heat.

[Aristus]

12. Let's hope the address is drop-dead......

Well, just drop-dead, actually...

[sakabatou]

13. It'd be funny if he fell asleep at the ceremony and had to wake him up

[Torchlight]

14. An hour prior, he'll announce another two week delay

No way he's going to allow sweat to ruin his makeup. No. Way.

[Fla Dem]

15. Good, let him bake.

[Talitha]

16. He'll be perfectly comfortable.

Via an onstage A/C unit aimed right at him, or maybe he'll be in a climate controlled booth. He'll make sure he's perfectly comfortable. So comfortable in fact, that he'll go down in history as THE most comfortable president EVER.

And as usual, We The People will foot the bill.

[Qutzupalotl]

24. A fun prank: set up the a/c, then turn it off when he starts speaking.

I can dream.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. I hope that he does this

Heat stroke is not fun

[Bluetus]

19. We are due for a stroke of luck

[Blumancru]

20. Exposure to excessive heat will be good preparation

For the place he will be going soon.

[twodogsbarking]

21. Elderly, in poor shape, wearing heavy dark clothes in suffocating heat. Yeah baby.

[MLWR]

22. Trump vows to give long July 4 address even if it is 107 degrees.

I just hope the goddess is paying attention...

[DavidDvorkin]

23. I hope he lingers into the 5th.

[tonekat]

25. May he die slowly

Painful, excruciating pain. Televise it as a warning to the future.

[karynnj]

26. It will be well after sunset and much cooler when he speaks

The burden will be on the people who opt to go who likely need to be there much earlier. Reports have said coolers and umbrellas will not be allowed. I assume no lawn chairs will be provided or allowed.

If his speech is long, he will be delaying the already late fireworks. He is completely messing up DC's fireworks. Not only will many miss them, many kids and dogs will be woke up by the noise.

[Wonder Why]

27. Super idea. May he all the MAGA watchers cook - so they understand where they're headed when they die.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Oh please do Donny

I want to see you fall on your face.

[LeftInTX]

29. I remember when he gave that speech at the Arizona border wall in August 2024.

He looked like he was melting. Unfortunately, he didn't.

What is he made of???
