President Donald Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were seen kissing on the Truman Balcony on Friday evening before the grand Fourth of July fireworks show in Washington, D.C. 

The first couple kissed and hugged as supporters down below ‘awww’-ed the scene.

Trump hosted military families in the South Lawn for the occasion, marking the holiday with a picnic. 

Earlier that night, President Trump gave a speech from the balcony and then signed his ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ into law. Congress had fulfilled its promise to pass the significant piece of legislation before the Fourth of July deadline set by Trump. 

There were also a trio of military flyovers, including with B-2 bombers, the stealth jets used in the recent military action over Iran.

The Trumps had slipped into the West Wing but returned to watch the annual fireworks display over the National Mall.

During the event, the DJ played patriotic songs alongside some surprising pop hits, including tracks from Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. These artists have openly supported Trump’s Democratic opponents such as Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. One of the songs played was Perry’s “Firework.”

HOT TO GO! was also blasted out – from Chappell Roan – and Defying Gravity, sung by Cynthia Erivo in the Wicked film – both popular LGBTQ artists.

A number of country hits were also played. 

Members of the audience shouted out ‘four more years’ and ‘eight more years.’ 

Trump has another three and a half years of his second term and is Constitutionally ineligible to run again – despite some backing from Republicans to have the Constitution amended just for the president, under his unique situation of serving two non-consecutive terms. 

The president’s walk-on song, Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA, was played several times during the evening affair. 

As the fireworks ended, YMCA was played – Trump’s traditional walk-off tune. 

He did his trademark dance and even got Melania to briefly do the moves too – though neither Trump engaged in the YMCA dance of spelling out the letters.  

The crowd was interspersed with Cabinet members and top Trump officials including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan ‘Razin’ Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin and more.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was photographed holding up the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ head of Trump’s signing.

Wiles was caught deep in conversation with top Trump adviser Stephen Miller’s wife Katie, who had worked for the previous Trump administration under Vice President Mike Pence and has worked with Elon Musk since the beginning of this one. 

For nearly a month, Trump and Musk – who had previously lead the Department of Government Efficiency – have been warring over the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ with Musk arguing that the amount of government spending undid all the work he did for DOGE.

Now Musk is threatening to start his own political party and financially help Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie, who voted against the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’ 

After spending the night at the D.C. festivities, the president and first lady were headed to their Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort to spend the remainder of the holiday weekend. 

Trump pumped his fist as he boarded Air Force One with Melania at his side.
