donald trump: Donald Trump has given a tub-thumpingly jingoistic speech as the set-piece of his controversial Salute to America event to mark the 4th of July in Washington, according to The Guardian. Despite concerns that the US president might politicise the independence day celebrations with a partisan address, he steered clear of his usual campaign-rally style and instead chose to run through a litany of American achievements with a heavy bias towards military prowess. This is Martin Farrer bringing you all the stories you need to know about this Friday morning. Trump was accompanied by martial music, flypasts to flout aerial power and the much-promised armoured vehicles in a ceremony costing the National Parks Service a reported 2.5m. Code Pink, an antiwar protest group, staged a demonstration on the mall, complete with the Trump baby blimp balloon. We are one people chasing one dream and one magnificent destiny, he said in an appeal to national unity, which has been rare during his presidency.
