Trump’s America250 Unveils Plans for World’s Largest Flag
BREAKING NEWS: President Donald Trump’s America250 organization has just announced plans to create the world’s largest American flag as part of the upcoming semiquincentennial celebrations on July 4, 2026. This monumental flag will measure an astonishing 1,157,000 square feet, surpassing previous records and set to be unfurled during a historic event.
The flag, measuring approximately 776 feet wide and 1,492 feet long, will be larger than New York City’s iconic Empire State Building and nearly half the size of the Pentagon. Sources indicate that the National Mall may not be large enough for its unveiling, prompting officials to consider venues such as Joint Base Andrews in Maryland or a NASCAR speedway. A location in Lebanon, Kansas, the geographic center of the United States, is also under consideration.
Ari Abergel, Executive Director of America250, stated, “Everything President Trump does is historic and larger than life. America250 will be no different, and we’re kicking things off by breaking a massive world record.”
The current record holder for the largest draped flag is Qatar, boasting a flag of 1,097,672 square feet since 2013, while Azerbaijan holds the record for the largest flown flag at 25,598 square feet as of 2024. Abergel assures that America250’s flag will “blow them both away.”
The flag will be crafted entirely in the USA and will be unveiled by hundreds of patriots, symbolizing national unity during this momentous celebration. In a statement, Monica Crowley, U.S. Chief of Protocol and America250 Principal Media Representative, emphasized, “Under President Trump’s leadership, the national mood is bright and optimistic. There could be no better time to throw our country a spectacular birthday party.”
The unveiling is planned for the spring of 2026, marking the beginning of a series of events leading up to the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. America250 is set to host additional notable events in 2025, including celebrations for the U.S. Navy’s and U.S. Marine Corps’ birthdays.
The initiative has sparked controversy, particularly after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appointed Jack Schlossberg, grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, to the commission, raising questions about the political implications of the celebration. Despite this, Abergel insists, “At the end of the day, America250 will be remembered as President Trump’s celebration — nobody else’s.”
As anticipation builds, America250 aims to inspire patriotism and pride leading up to this unprecedented event. The entire nation is invited to participate in this “first-of-its-kind celebration,” which promises to leave a lasting impression on American history.
