Update #1

CNN - Trump still expected to deliver speech tonight, though timing may shift. President Donald Trump is still expected to deliver a speech on the National Mall for the Fourth of July, though timing may fluctuate due to weather, according to a senior White House official. Trump is scheduled to speak around 9:45 p.m. ET.

Shortly before 9 p.m., Trump told Fox News anchor Bret Baier that he will deliver the speech “no matter what.” Baier said Trump cited the sacrifice of World War II veterans of D-Day who endured bad weather. (Storms caused a 24-hour delay of D-Day, the first day of the Normandy landings that laid the foundations for the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany.)

However, Baier said Trump told him it could be a shorter speech. Trump told Baier he would speak at 10 p.m., 11 p.m. or 2 a.m., even if no one is around on the mall to hear it.

    I’m “live tweeting” the event.

    Top of the hour: It just started. A guy in a dark blue velvet suit is singing Ave Maria. I’m surprised but then again - Trump loves that kind of shit.

    Now he’s singing some opera song I can’t place but I should know the name of. It appears in movies. It must have appeared in The Untouchables.

    A chorus comes in. Ack. This is so Trumpian.

    An operatic God Bless America with a matching karaoke background. Double ack. Is the guy pretending to have an accent? What the hell.

    0:10 Failed U-S-A chant.

    God Bless the USA. Lee Greenwood is not in good voice. In fact - he sounds like shit.

    0:17 Another failed U-S-A chant. Trump is speaking.

    LOW ENERGY

    0:19 I’m bailing. This 100% teleprompter Trump shit is putting me to sleep.
