"I said, 'You mean you can't have fireworks because of the environment?' 'Yeah, environmental reasons.' I said, 'What can burn? It's stone.' You know, it's stone. It's granite," Trump recalled."So I called up our people. And within about 15 minutes, we got it approved."
" and month-long public comment period to decide whether to resume permitting and hosting the Mount Rushmore fireworks.in late April on the option of ending the ban on pyrotechnics at Mount Rushmore"because it best meets the project purpose and need to celebrate the spirit of Independence Day by hosting a fireworks event, while providing for the enjoyment of the public in a manner that ensures safety and resource protection.
The National Park Service did a controlled burn around the monument in the springtime, according to Noem's office, in an effort to lessen the chances of the fireworks igniting surrounding forest."Conducting that prescribed fire won't reduce the amount of flammable material — the vegetation that is on the ground," the veteran fire ranger says."It cannot prevent any fire from starting.
InaJaffeNPR Interesting that protests on 4th of July are ok but it's not ok to go to watch fireworks? Same virus, same freedom of speech. Not judging, questioning the logic. Where is the NPR logic? Why do you never question or criticize the left? Are they beyond accountability?
COVID19 SpewerWorks will win the day.
GeoffRBennett realDonaldTrump WILL INVITE THE TALIBAN, AND MAYBE THEY'LL BLOW IT UP 🤞🤞
goldietaylor When can we blow up Mount Rushmore? Asking for a friend!
Are we really not starting a revolution? After a wildfire destroys the Midwest, then?
Infuriating
Someone can tell him Mount Rushmore has been moved and take him to a remote location with a big rock. He won’t know the difference. Blame it on GPS.
The tentacles and fibers of trump’s evil reach into the cells of our souls.
NALM, Native American Lives Matter, realDonaldTrump life does not
What the hell is wrong with him? I think he's knows he is not going to be reelected. He is acting like I do when I know I'll be quitting a job within the week, except 11 billion times worse. He's not just bagging bread with canned goods, he's fucking destroying people's lives.
JohnEG78 Sounds like a future outbreak, well done..rolling my eyes...
WTF IS GOING ON W OUR COUNTRY?!?
Wish I could be there. Sounds like a great time.
Guess after the bust in Tulsa he's gotta do something... hands down Putin's greatest investment and Russia's greatest asset.
npr= Neomarxist Propaganda radio
45shole!
25th amendment
Trump has once again shown how he gives zero fu¢ks about anything other than himself.
GeoffRBennett He doesn't give a hoot about indigenous Sioux people. He is disgusting. All for self adulation and his cult.
Trump playing to his ego. SD should insist social distancing and masks. Trump should honor the Sioux people and the environment. Trump is a national disaster, not a hero, not a warrior, not a leader.
Make them sign DNRs
Good.
Don Mask is a good new nickname for Derwood
If they are stupid enough to not we’re a mask in a large crowd, it is probably better not to have their DNA in the gene pool. If they are stupid enough to go to a Trump rally, it is definitely better to not have their DNA in the gene pool. Let natural selection work it’s magic.
Despicable behavior by a despicable Regime!
GeoffRBennett July 4th is two days away. How long does it take to carve out face masks for 4 presidents?
Wow, just a shit show all around.
What’s your excuse for the 20,000 protestors wearing and not wearing masks?
Ideally Trump would be at the top and just happen to slip. Woopsie doopsie
Sweet Jesus you went with the mask bullshit at the end. Why does exist? Why can’t they exist without state or Federal subsidies? This is just shameful. The author should publicly apologize for this article.
GeoffRBennett He is the definition of the face palm.
Is Trump deliberately trying to get people infected? This man enjoys sowing chaos.
It’s gonna be AWESOME!🇺🇸💥
Malkefunstires Blow up comma Mount Rushmore
Get the bodybags ready
Hope the covid takes them fast.
Personally, I thought letting a foreigner, Archie Leach, clamber all over the monument’s face in movie directed by a foreigner, Al Hitchcock, was an intolerable effrontery...
This kind of shit is why other countries rightfully hate us. We’re assholes.
4 more years. Phase 2 of putting out America's leftist dumpster fire.
Right now would be a good time to return control of the Six Grandfathers to the Lakota people.
He is LITERALLY going to burn down this country. All that’s left is to nuke us! TrumpIsUnwell Treaty AmericanIndian NeverForget StandingRock NoDapl TrumpIs51/50 Insanity environment MotherNature
That all checks out - I can’t wait to hear what dumb fuckery will ensue when realDonaldTrump opens his buttholemouthpiece - I mean I’d rather wait, but we are going down in flames so I bought popcorn 🍿- so there’s that.
goldietaylor People are still going. No masks. We’re gonna need more diverse words for idiot.
Just another TrumpShitShow.
It will be glorious.
JFC! It's not like this just happened last night! Why now? All of a sudden every one has an ancestorial issue that's 'been violated' hundreds of years ago and want it corrected over night. 🙄
Dump Trump!
I agree to having the show every year but I'm not sure if a big showing is necessary or get creative and find a better way that is better for the surronding area but the same effect.
🤬
Everything about this is so wrong! Someone needs to step up and stop it ASAP!
Your BS propaganda news is old always negative and anti-Trump. DemocratsHateAmerica
Oh dear. Sorry to hear about one more poor choice made based on purely selfish criteria. Good grief.
If there is justice in this world, God will strike Jefferson’s big nose with a lightning bolt, and the avalanche will, well, you know—don’t want to get the SS after me
Crap, it looks like tRump is on Mount Rushmore now... oh wait.... lol my bad, that's a glob of bird shit.
What is wrong with this man So awful
I wish someone would do a Christo and put cloth masks on George, Thomas, Abe, and Teddy.
cancelMtRushmoreRally
Do you D's know how utterly ridiculous you all sound ?
LadyWTFx A track by The Exploited comes to mind… search YouTube for ‘Fuck The USA’.
Americans nationwide are calling for Trump to be added to Mt. Rushmore.
You know he's going to cause the forests to be torched. Jared is surely heading up the fireworks.
Not going to let the religion of wokeness cancel independence day.
All just for his campaign ads
This all sounds very American. Which, unfortunately, isn't exactly a compliment.
*Lakota
Infect the Sioux
This is just govkristinoem trying to get to Washington by bowing down to Trump. Don't forget, this idiot approved the SD slogan, 'Meth, We're On It!' Yeah, we know you are, Kristi.
theodoricofyork Do people STILL need proof that Trump doesn't give a damn about anything or anybody but himself, well here it is. i l l
I keep telling y’all the man is evil. That’s why trouble is happening every day with him. Everything about him is evil. Peace ✌🏿
realDonaldTrump wants to spread the Caronavirus at Mt. Rushmore.

WINNING
It’s as close to being on Mt. Rushmore as this jackal is ever going to get.
Trump is trash as usual

Despicable.
Plato’s allegory of the cave but make it 2020
July 23rd. Anti Trumpism Movement.

Oh my lawd. I try to like NPR, but your Twitter SUCKS.
Didn't the United States win this mountain in a war against the Native Americans in the area? The natives should remember their history.
*750,000 spectators
Der Gropenfurer must have his spectacle in a place he can't find on a map!
Think of it as a protest against hysteria.
