NEW YORK. As Washington prepares a celebration of America’s 250th birthday that resembles a tribute to Donald Trump, directed by the former president himself, New York is taking a different path.

Some organizers are drawing direct parallels between that historical figure and the current American president, making the event a pointed political statement rather than a unified national party.
