‘The Show Must Go On:’ Trump Celebrates Navy’s 250th Birthday Amid Government Shutdown


While the government has been shut down since Wednesday, Trump said on Truth Social that “the show must go on” despite certain Democrats trying “to destroy this wonderful celebration of the U.S. Navy’s Birthday, and to stop our Military Servicemembers from celebrating American Naval History.” I am proud to announce that on Sunday, October 5th, I will be hosting a Salute to the Fleet in Norfolk, Virginia, to honor our brave men and women of the United States Navy. Trump told the sailors the U.S. is “putting out so many fires” when it comes to wars that hopefully they’ll never have to fight even though some of them might want to.
