'Could be worse' - Americans on the state of the nation in its 250th year US President Donald Trump will head to Washington DC's National Mall on Saturday for what he has billed as a "spectacular rally" celebrating America's 250th anniversary. The event, organised by a White House-backed private-public partnership, will include flyovers by hundreds of aircraft and a fireworks display organisers hope will be the biggest of all time.
