Trump:

ABC Fake News and its shaky anchor, David Muir, said that the Reflecting Pool was drained to address Peeling Paint (there is no paint, it was slashed with a knife, or box cutter, high grade colored waterproofing liner - it was VANDALISM!) and Algae Blooms (also caused by Vandals, but removed long ago!). In other words, the story was FAKE NEWS, but heavily slanted away from the real cause of the problem, Vandalism. It will be fixed soon, and better than ever. 60 monuments and fountains have been cleaned and fully renovated in D.C., and crime is at record lows! Washington has never looked better, or been safer!

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met U.S. Ambassador Michel Issa in Beirut this morning ahead of Aoun's upcoming visit to Washington, made at Trump's invitation.

Aoun listed a southern Lebanon ceasefire, pressure on Israel to halt military operations, and adherence to the Washington framework as his top priorities.

Issa said an American military delegation will arrive in Beirut within days to coordinate implementation as Israeli forces withdraw from the designated pilot areas.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on why he chose negotiations with Israel: "I cannot stand by and watch my country be led into the abyss for the interests of another country."

He said the step was needed to stop the "Israeli machine of destruction and annihilation" and bring "the end of the occupation." Aoun expects his Washington meeting with Trump to benefit Lebanon.

An "air bridge" to Washington is forming, i24NEWS reports. Senior Israeli officials, including defense figures, are expected in the U.S. capital in the coming weeks, against the backdrop of stalled U.S.-Iran talks and the framework agreement signed with Lebanon.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar is expected to meet Secretary of State Marco Rubio in about a week and a half. Talks are also advancing on a visit by Defense Minister Israel Katz.

A source familiar with the matter: "The military option is still on the table."

Despite the heat, which isn’t as bad as predicted, the crowds in D.C. are INCREDIBLE! The love of our Country has never been stronger! The Air Shows are at a level never seen before - What great pilots, what great equipment!!! See you all later! Speaking at around 10:00 P.M. at The Lincoln Memorial. The Reflecting Pool looks great, despite all it went through with the Vandal Thugs. Will quickly drain and fix the damage done right after this big weekend. Happy Independence Day. Our Country is Stronger than EVER!!!

Deputy White House Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller to national guard troops in Washington D.C:

All of civilization can be finally divided into two groups of people: builders and destroyers.

The people who serve, who sacrifice, who give, who care for others, who protect others, and those who only destroy, who litter, who rob, who graffiti, who deface, who degrade.

Civilization only exists because of people like you.

Trump:

Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to empty the prisons, make D.C. a Sanctuary City, oppose ICE, welcome Criminal Illegal Aliens back into our beloved Capital, resist Anti-Crime Crackdowns, Defund the Police, continue and expand Cashless Bail, and so many other Capital destroying “things.” In the end, it will never work out, nor will I let it even have a chance because I have worked too hard to make Washington, D.C., the Envy of the World, with almost No Crime, and a Beautification process that has been second to none. I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community. Many people, including myself, have worked long and hard to get it there, and we will not let it be destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!

Trump: The Fourth of July Airshow, over Washington, D.C., our Great Capital, will be the biggest, by far, in the History of the United States of America. Hundreds of Planes, of different types, sizes, and speeds, will be on display. It goes from 1:15 P.M. in the afternoon, until 11:30 in the evening. I will be speaking at approximately 9 P.M., preceding the Fireworks which again, like the Airshow, will be approximately ten times larger than any Fireworks in the History of our Country. So, if you like Airplanes and Fireworks and President Trump, be there!
