Key takeaways
- Tonight, as we stand on the edge of our 250th year of independence, I am thrilled to declare that America is back, Trump told a crowd of supporters.
- Trump s notably tame remarks at the fair came after more than half of the musical acts that were originally slated to perform at the event pulled out, with some saying they thought the event was overtly partisan.
- The president announced late last month he would deliver remarks at the rally after the artists pulled out of the event.
