Preparations for America's 250th anniversary celebrations have been chaotic, including a stage set almost hitting dancers during rehearsals on Thursday. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation accidentally turned the water green, and the Great American State Fair failed to draw crowds. President Trump is still set to deliver a "really long" speech and has promised a large fireworks show.
