Trump praised America's greatness on the 250th anniversary of independence: "No one can be like us."

U.S. President Donald Trump praised the greatness of the United States on Saturday in the central speech of the commemorative events on the 250th anniversary of America's independence, in an appearance postponed by bad weather.

"For 250 years, the United States of America has been hope, light and glory for all the nations of the world, trying to be like us, no one can be like us, "the president said at the beginning of his speech.

The Republican has thanked the attendees, the vast majority of whom are his followers, for having to wait a few hours in the middle of a heat wave to hear the speech .

Like a political rally, trump has warned of the threat of communism . "We don't want communists in our country. It has never worked, "he said in reference to the victories of socialist Democratic candidates in the primaries ahead of the midterm elections next November.

He has also taken the opportunity to promote controversial electoral reform that would tighten the conditions for registering and voting in federal elections.

"America is back, and we want to keep its greatness. To achieve this, we will pass the Save America Act. Thus, all voters, each and every one of them, must submit an identification, submit something called a citizenship test, and there will be no vote by post except in some cases, "he said.

Trump has spinned heroic stories and events to reflect the values of patriotism and freedom that, he says, form the spirit of the Americans. In this regard, he has invited veterans onstage to greet some historic flags.

"We also reaffirm together that the strength and power of the United States is not a source of shame. We are very proud of that, "he added.

The U.S. Army's great victory in the sinking of the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay equates it to its victory over the Iranian Army.

He also announced that he will deliver a flag that was placed on the Capitol to the astronauts, who will "soon" return to the moon to leave it.

Trump has been the main act of the anniversary, which has provoked controversy among political opponents over his alleged politicization of the party.

Cities like New York and Los Angeles have hosted concerts, parades, fairs and festivals to celebrate the 250 years of U.S. Independence. However, some of these outdoor events have had to be postponed or cancelled due to the extreme heat wave that is drowning the country.
