## Resource

The president’s high-profile rally on the National Mall promises spectacle—stealth bombers, military bands, and Lee Greenwood—but it’s overshadowed by controversy and political fallout. Key artists pulled out over the event’s overtly partisan tone, prompting the president to tout it as his “biggest rally ever” with a self-curated soundtrack. With approval ratings stuck at 37%, critics highlight costly vanity projects like the Lincoln Memorial repairs and allege misuse of taxpayer funds. Economically, inflation outpaces wages, the deficit swells, and AI-driven growth comes at the cost of middle-class jobs. While past rallies energized bases, this event—held four months before midterms—is seen by experts as unlikely to sway the election.
