President Trump’s Freedom 250 Address revisits the defining moments that shaped American independence, beginning with the 56 patriots who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and ignited a revolution that altered human history. Speaking as part of the White House Salute to America 250 initiative, Trump reflects on how a small, determined force defeated the world’s mightiest empire and laid the foundation for what he calls the greatest republic ever created. From the battlefields of the Revolutionary War to America’s rise as a global power, the address traces how the spirit of 1776 carried the nation through wars, expansion, innovation, and historic achievements, including landing on the moon. Partnering with Hillsdale College, the Freedom 250 project aims to retell the Story of America, honor the sacrifices of generations of patriots, and frame the nation’s past as a shared heritage and a continuing destiny ahead of its 250th anniversary.
