President Trump delivered a primetime address on July 16, 2026, in which he stated that the country is "safer, stronger, and far wealthier" than before and claimed that inflation saw its largest monthly decline in more than six years. He called on Congress to pass the "Save America Act," which he said would require photo voter ID, proof of citizenship, and restrict mail-in ballots to specific exceptions, arguing that such measures are needed to prevent election fraud. Trump also asserted that intelligence agencies had withheld information from him regarding Chinese election interference and that "burn bags" containing documents from the Obama administration had not been properly destroyed. In July, Trump held events for the 250th anniversary of American independence, speaking at Mount Rushmore on July 3 and in Washington, D.C., on July 4. At Mount Rushmore, he described communism as "a mortal threat to American liberty" and said it was "the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or even 9-11." He also stated that "if we terminate the filibuster, as we should do, and immediately vote for the Save America Act, then we will not lose an election for a hundred years." During the July 4 speech, which was delayed by severe weather, Trump said the U.S. has "$19.2 trillion being invested in our country" and that "more people are working today in the United States than any time in the history of our country." Regarding Iran, Trump posted on Truth Social that "1,000 missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran" should the Iranian government act on threats to assassinate him, and he told reporters, "We just hit them very hard. And I say we hit them 20 to one."
