Washington – The United States celebrated its 250th birthday on Saturday with parades, flyovers and fireworks to come, as President Donald Trump stamped his mark on the landmark anniversary in a deeply divided nation.

Washington’s traditional pyrotechnic display on the National Mall — lined with monuments celebrating the nation’s Founding Fathers — has been super-sized and is being touted as the biggest ever.

Trump organized hours of military flyovers and an unusual campaign-style political rally for July Fourth, the anniversary of the 1776 signing of the country’s Declaration of Independence.
