ELIZABETH WARREN SAYS TRUMP'S 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION IS A 'CAMPAIGN EVENT' THAT 'SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY HIS CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS'

BY DAVID BRENNAN ON 7/4/19 AT 3:59 AM EDT

President Donald Trump will hold his "Salute to America" event in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, debuting his own take on Fourth of July celebrations.

Despite the high costs of the parade, fears of damage caused by heavy military vehicles and the authoritarian connotations of such a spectacle, Trump is plowing full speed ahead with his "great celebratory military parade."

Nonetheless, his critics have been in full voice. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren added her condemnation of the event on Wednesday night, telling a CNN reporter that the "Salute to America" is really more of a salute to Trump.

VIP guests at the event—many of whom are Republican operatives and big-ticket donors to the party—will be seated in a cordoned off area around the Lincoln Memorial. From here, they will be able to watch in comfort as jets, bombers and helicopters roar over Washington.
