Pres. Trump’s trip to Mount Rushmore for flashy fireworks and military flyover is the culmination of his years-long push to bring a July Fourth display back to the larger-than-life monument to four American presidents that has long fascinated him.

The president will hold a celebration at Mount Rushmore tonight despite concerns over large gatherings.p’s trip to Mount Rushmore Friday for flashy fireworks and military flyover is the culmination of his years-long push to bring a July Fourth display back to the larger-than-life monument to four American presidents that has long fascinated him.

Mount Rushmore was conceived in the 1920s as a tourist draw for families on cross-country road trips. Visitors walk on the grounds as a man waves a flag supporting President Donald Trump at the Mt. Rushmore National Monument in Keystone, South Dakota, July 2, 2020. "I'm going to a very special place this weekend, as you know, very beautiful monument, it's called Mount Rushmore, and somebody said they want to see that come down, that's never coming down,” Trump said.

“The Antiquities Act does not give the federal government unlimited power to lock up millions of acres of land and water, and it’s time that we ended this abusive practice,” Trump said in 2017.

Trump is unworthy to hold the office that these four presidents had held. NONE OF THEM HAD SOLD OUT AMERICAN SOLDIERS BY LOOKING THE OTHER WAY WHILE RUSSIA HAD PUT A BOUNTY ON THEIR HEADS! All of you MAGAs out there should think about that, esp. if your child is serving!

Amezing

WTF is your point? Slow news day?

Beautiful!!! It a breathing monument!

Fascinated him, how about the bedrock of our existence are what they represent. ABC you are part of the hate towards our country with some of the false reporting and out right lies. You twist the truth in every conceivable way to make the President look bad. You should be ashamed

All the Demos do is stay home, hail Russia, and burn the US Flag in their yard.

It fascinates him because his malignant narcissism likely has him fixated with having his face up there, something that will never happen.

Why can’t we just have a celebration encouraging national patriotism without the snarky comments of media? Just report the news, your job is so important. The use of “flashy “ reflects your bias. You then aren’t news, you should be abcopinion to be honest.

I do not want to see White Cheese any where, I found it racist. WhiteLivesMatters no more 'black cards', no more songs from Michael Jackson, he was so racist that he tint himself. stopstupidity BlackLivesMatter

Mt Rushmore has never looked bigger than with the U.S. smallest president as reference.

Nothing but crayon books fascinates this mental deficient lunatic. The man can’t even speak in coherent sentences.

He will certainly be the fourth on this mountain.

Well, you know it’s ALL about him.

And has fascinated normal Americans. 4thofJuly2020 4thofJuly MountRushmore SaturdayMorning USAIndependenceDay

, why so gloom on President Trump wanting to celebrate the 4th? Many other POTUS celebrated this holiday too, but now it is a problem because Trump wants to as well.

Please stop. He doesn’t even know who is on Mt. Rushmore.

May he rot in the bowels of hell

Go ahead our President Trump let them demolish this head Soke and tearing down like you sit there on your butt and let them tear the rest of our history down and put them in a warehouse so nobody can see him shame on you American

And there’s not one damn thing wrong with that.

A political rally? Just disgusting!

Shame on you ABC.

Lying News Networks. They are a foundation of the Democrat party and an enemy to free Americans.

TRUMP is going to pay goons to deface Mount Rushmore and then blame it on liberals. Just watch.

Long live USA Long live George Washington

Trump being fascinated? 👀. Funny

God bless America and President Trump. Reject the hatred and violence of the Biden campaign, democrats and their armed militia Antifa.

He thinks he's going to be on Rushmore one day.

Maybe he wishes his face sculpture will be erected along with those four ex-Presidents.

‘Merica!!!!! MAGA2020

This is all about Trump and his ego. He will be forever revered as the worst president in the modern era. Say goodbye to him and his ego in Nov.

Shameful! Shame on him and shame on that Governor!!

God bless America!! Love it.

AWESOME!!!

A monument to our currently collective nation and larger ideals that bind us despite the dated flaws of some of our founders. A celebration of all of our freedoms in comparison to areas like Hong Kong and China’s increasing oppression.

MERICA

Trumps face should be the 5th on Mount Rushmore!!

Maybe because they were REAL presidents

...and

A president has pride in the country for which he his been elected. It's a sorry as hell thought that the elected Democratic Congress doesn't have the same patriotic values. Patriotism of past forefathers, built this country and should be respected not condemned, DAMN DEMS.

We need to celebrate America you guys are all wrong. That’s right socialist maybe you need to move out

... and if their fingers were available in the carving, they’d be giving this sign to MangoMussolini 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

We love it! No controversy in being patriotic.

It’s great we have a president who loves this country unlike 8 years of Obama Biden

OllyOllyInFree God bless America and realDonaldTrump

I guess China ABC could care less about OUR AMERICAN HISTORY

Aren’t all fireworks “flashy?” 🤔

realDonaldTrump CHINA MADE FIREWORKS.

Happy birthday, America!!!

Fuck yeah! 🎉🧨🇺🇸🍻

Your point ABC (Always Be Communist)?

Native Americans have blocked the road into Mount Rushmore!!

Ya mad ABC?

I have heard him say that he would like his face on Mount Rushmore, and I think everybody in the United States would have to pass away before that decision could be made. OVER OUR DEAD BODIES! Get lost, Trump.

Did they have heel spurs too?

The Man without a Soul is making the 4th of July a political event. There is no limit to his crassness.

The traitor sees his own likeness up there. That’s why the wall. It’ll be his monument to failure( he doesn’t know the last part).

Or five presidents if he has his way . . .

It’s not about the former presidents represented on Mt. Rushmore it’s about over sized ego!! His narcissistic personality puts other Americans at risk and doesn’t care!! Unless it involves him directly he doesn’t think twice about others pain!!

IT'S A SIN WHAT realDonaldTrump IS DOING...HOLDING AN EVENT WITH NO SOCIAL DISTANCING AND MASKS NOT BEING MANDATORY IS DISGRACEFUL AS MANY WILL LEAVE MT RUSHMORE TAKING COVID19 HOME WITH THEM AND INFECTING EVEN MORE. TRUMP HAS FAILED AMERICANS! ProjectLincoln JoeBiden DNC

We know people will get virus, and people will die because of this rally, by Trump. He wants military to shoot at protesters. He lives for this, and isn't that the shame of it. People will get hurt, people will die, but he cares little. If forest is on fire he will care less

Proof read before you tweet.

Good for him!!! AmericaFirst

'Trump's long-sought July Fourth visit has sparked racial and health controversy.'

I hope his campaign pays their bills for this rally.

Trump loves America. No doubt about it. Hey ! Now you know why the left despises him.

Hey here’s your tweet rating👇 Next time leave out the biase BS and you’ll have an increased score

He is secretly hoping for an old time Western playoff. Who gets to be Custer? We should be so lucky...

Why would President Trump be fascinated with presidents on Mt. Rushmore when he thinks he is the greatest president?

Mt Rushmore will be seen as a symbol of hate thanks to the FAKE PRESIDENT. PUTIN has carefully planned the traitor’s attacks on our country. Add President Obama to Mt Rushmore or REMOVE IT ALL. REMOVEallRACISM LETracismDIE REMOVEtrumpNOW trumpISaTRAITORtoAMERICA

realDonaldTrump seems to have a fixation with GettingHisHead on MountRushmore but StormyDaniels was busy & flotus said, “no way am I putting that in my mouth” Both Eric & Junior declined to comment, but KellyannePolls was open to the idea. MickIrishMuslim PCativists

He’s not fascinated by history

realDonaldTrump has a single criterion for all decisions: will it help my re-election? Whether trumpcult members will die as a result of his decision is irrelevant to him. Hopefully the TrumpsCoronavirusRally does not kill too many of them.

He’s all flash and no substance.

Symbolism over substance.

every time i see these beautiful monuments, how did they ever do this in only 14 years ? amazing.

Four heroes and legends

You should be ashamed of yourselves for this. That monster, trump, wants to desecrate sacred land and you report this like it's fireworks in someone's backyard. MSM is also a part of our problem. Be responsible, if only occasionally!

All this, and those who will attend this event, I pray for you. Making NOT wearing a mask a political statement is plain stupid only to serve on person. DJT. Let's bounce back in two-weeks and report updates on your health. It's sad and foolish, but you will get what is served.

Liberals can't stand the thought of anyone hearing Trump talk. Free speech be damned.

Such an environmental, social and political mistake!

Kegs and live bands at Arlington next 🍺

Stop it! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I heard the people there don’t want him there. What if the fireworks start wildfires? Try focusing on things that MATTER! How many dead from COVID-19 now while he plays golf and plans crap like this? Please stop!

Sorry, but what Trump actually Knows about these four men could fit in a 'Very Small Thimble.' 45 is a Nincompoop!

Yeah we like it!

“This year’s fireworks display at the foot of Mount Rushmore, for which he has long shown a personal fascination, is also something of a victory for Trump because of the role he played in getting the fireworks approved.”

He wanted to have his head on it.

Trump, just wants to put his face on it, he thinks he deserves it.

I want to see him fall off Washington’s forehead, that’s all.

Merica

He loves our Country and wants to celebrate it. You losers stay home and watch Joe Biden reruns..

He must be longing to have his head put on that mountain front.

this is the dumbest fcking tweet get new social media writers

Democrats and the MSM hate bringing America together. Democrats organizing principle is Identity Politics that literally divides people into smaller groups that can be more easily manipulated. It is the New Segregation and the MSM supports it.

Meanwhile Biden is eating mashed peas in his basement

Yes god forbid, the President of the United States celebrate independence and the Fourth of July in grand style at a place that honors for men who gave their lives to this country.

JFC, stop making him seem normal.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Too bad he can’t come close to emulating the honor or intellect of any of those four men carved in stone there.

He loves things that go...BOOM

RT

Anyone not proud to be American & celebrate our freedom should leave the country. Patriots

Is this ABC news or the GRU? Come’on, be honest!

a true achievement of American power!!! Only some of the looney libs are anti american and hate this!

'Flashy'? Never heard fireworks described that way.

Trump can do whatever he wants!

It’s only controversial if you’re an absolute loser devoid of any concept of fun or excitement

It's going to be Epic Awesome.
