Washington — President Trump brought pomp and circumstance to his signing of the "big, beautiful bill" on Friday, with an Independence Day ceremony at the White House that included a B-2 bomber flyover.

Melania Trump chose a crisp white Thom Browne shirtdress to attend the White House’s Independence Day picnic on Friday. The first lady joined U.S. President Donald Trump in hosting the annual event on the South Lawn, welcoming military families for a celebration marking America’s 249th birthday.

The White House celebrations for the Fourth of July included several flyovers, including one featuring B-2 bombers. The president said Thursday that the flyover will occur at the same time he signs the bill; however, it ultimately took place before the signing.
