Trump's makes America's 250th birthday about...HIM - The Weekend - MS NOW

America is turning 250 years old, and rather than holding a non-partisan celebration, the President held a campaign-style rally on the National Mall. Next week, Trump will celebrate America's birthday by giving a keynote speech at Mount Rushmore and holding a rally at the Washington Monument on Independence Day.

Presidential historian and author of NYT best-seller “American Struggle: Democracy, Dissent and the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union” Jon Meacham joins The Weekend to discuss. - Aired on 06/28/2026.
