Republicans dying from COVID-19 in record numbers

Tell Trump to go to NORTH Dakota, if he really wants to see himself on Mount Rushmore. BTW...fireworks? Bad idea, unless you don't care about setting forest fires. But then, everyone already knows that Trump cares about nothing but himself. LoserTrump Biden2020

Time to destroy those monuments and then paint the White House all black.

If you think about it, the dynamite they used to blast out the rocks to make the statues were kind of like the original fireworks.

He probably wants his face carved into the rock. Not a chance realDonaldTrump is a selfish, weak, shallow sociopath. VoteTrumpOut

A monument of stolen land that should be returned to its Native tribe.

Beautiful!

Has he got to try to destroy everything that matters to us before he goes

I have always felt Mount Rushmore was extremely creepy

Check out John Gutzon's bio.

Yup:Trump wants a spectacle with fireworks during dangerous drought conditions &flyover to BAIT bigger crowds (not required to wear masks or practice distancing) for one selfish reason: an EGO driven campaign photo op! govkristinoem as abandoned us to curry favor for Trump

Perfect place to celebrate the 4th.

I saw fireworks there like 4 years ago

realDonaldTrump ENJOY...

Pictures will never do the architectural feat justice. It’s an amazing representation of American unity and is one of the most beautiful sights in this country. 🇺🇸

Stunning!!! 🤩🤩MAGA🤩🤩

I have the oddest feeling that this is going to start a wildfire

and the forest fires will commence

Who will be the next U.S. President

Dear President Trump..... Please wear a MASK, protect yourself and YOUR PEOPLE. In America WE do things as ONE !!

Now, even outdoor events are a threat. I thought the riots were ok because...and the indoor rallies were super spr...wtf? I'm so confused.

This only proves Trump supporters are clinically insane. No one in their right mind would go to a crowded event in today's society

FakeChineseVirusCrisis

Karma is coming Mr. Trump.

I see black lives matter protest helped slow the spread of corona virus, says one report. But Trumps holding a rallie that will spread the virus

Everything to is anti-realDonaldTrump

Disgrace.

Our forefathers are rolling over in their graves.

concealedbuddy Fake test results, swabs or coming up positive that have not been used

Oh shut up. Protesters across the country are being allowed to protest at will. Why are you as a group of journalists not talking about the hypocrisy. Instead you are in the bag for Biden and continue to slam anything realDonaldTrump How do you look at yourself in the mirror?

Your power over the American people is gone. No one believes you anymore. Disinfo EnemyOfThePeople

Deaths are down....don't forget that part.

Pushing more fear... Deaths are down

ABC Nothing can compare to the millions of protesters who DEFIED POLITICIANS & LAW & ORDER when protesting IN America! THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL/ SOCIAL DISTANCING! Instead there was SEVERE CRIMINALacts of looting/damaging& burning property & vehicles!THAT'S HOW VIRUS IS SPREADING!

And people want it gone!?!? History and teaching from the past to do things better let’s take it away. Get them Republicans. They don’t want to learn from the past for the future.

The more these Trump supporters speak, the dumber they sound. Maybe that is why they are supporters of his.

America has lost its way. There is something very wrong in our culture. There are a whole lot of American’s who don’t believe in being your brothers keeper, being a good neighbor nor using their freaking head. One of them is the potus. Put your freaking masks on people & grow up.

Conservative Court votes 5-4 against the Vast Majority of Americans - there is no legal or Constitutional reasoning - just Conservative attempt to keep Trump in office - Won’t work we will crawl on hands and knees to vote + oust Trump + Reps in Senate. Then we’re onto SC change

Just wear your MASKS! Wash hands! Be Safe! Be Best! Enjoy! 🥰😷🙏

again not thinking about the welfare of Americans, anything for a photo op

OK. If they want to sicken and kill each other, that's their choice. But infecting each other and then carrying disease back to their communities, where people are doing all they can to protect each other, is nothing short of criminal. For that they should be prosecuted.

So it’s ok for thousands to protest outside but not celebrate the 4th ! Geez you are all idiots

Stick a fork in he's done. He knows it and will cause as much damage as he can on his way out! Bum has NO regard for human life.

enjoy it while you can. I’m sure it’s on the “next” list to be destroyed

50k cases. 313 deaths of patients that had COVID, not caused by COVID. That’s a .006% death rate and it’s INCLUDING INDIRECT DEATHS

abc, thank you for letting us know that nature, (National Parks) are RACIST. Such drivel. Actually you're the RACISTS by saying they are visited by Caucasians. They are open to all, God's creations are available to all. Divisive just like the democrats for whom you carry water.

But wait, you reported that the protests didn’t cause any increase in disease, so how can a rally cause any problems?

Can’t wait to watch!! 💥 🇺🇸 💥 🦅💥🗽💥

It is a protest so according to you there is nothing to worry about. The virus doesn’t attack protestors.

Social distancing was enforced during the riots ?

now report on the falling covid death rate, regardless of the increased testing rate.

All bs news network.., it’s the 4th of July if potus wants to go & ppl want to celebrate that is awesome.. conserve your concerns towards the rioters that have caused these spikes

No wonder why the EU told us to stay here until we figure it out. Our ignorance is an international threat.

This man is insane 😜 I seriously believe he really needs help mentally I think he's sick in the head who does stupid things like this?

This can’t be allowed to happen not again by the cold blooded murderer DonaldTrump to have his way. If Herman got it DonaldTrump shall too.

And some folks get all 'wth?' butt hurt about college kiddies throwing covidparties (Mis)Leading by example again thatfellaintheWH. Yaay!

7 day death numbers are falling. But that good news would be bad news for you.

If it’s safe to mass protest then it’s safe to mass celebrate the 4th of July at Mt Rushmore. God Bless America!!!🇺🇸🤩🇺🇸🤩

It’s ok, the governor is passing out free bleach cocktails for all attendees.

TGSOFL Lots of testing (+35M tests completed now) = lots of new cases. Fatalities are what matter. Still dropping. Facts The arrow shows the end of the week when the George Floyd protests started...

If the mob can gather... so can his supporters! Difference/ Nobody will be hurt or killed. And Federal property will be as such! R v’s D

How many cases did that star have? They never really closed down!

How to grandstand? Just ask Donald

. Aww shucks! .

Covid for everyone

Is Jared speaking?

The US is going to set a record so high that the rest of the world just goes..oooooohhhhhh. May God bless you.

He's killing his supporters. Interesting strategy...

So which smart protester artist is gonna put a giant facemask on MtRushmore?

Should be more than that, nurses across the US are sending in clean unused swabs that are coming back POSITIVE😂😂😂

RepublicansForBiden

What do they not understand..COVID19 is here..it’s killing People all over the World. Why would a president put his people at risk.

More tests, more positive results. Look at deaths please. They are down! Freedom IndependenceDay FreedomOfSpeech 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Gotta love these 'pro-life' ALL LIVES MATTER christians. Sick.

Please vote democratic across the board.

Protesting is immune to covid so that can continue

So protesters from BLM and ANTFA can gather in large groups on the streets but no else can huh ABC?

COVIDFest19 North

And yet there will be many who wonder why bars and restaurants aren't open on New Year's Eve.

President Trump is the greatest President ever! 🇺🇸 Everyone should celebrate Independence Day!

Protests though, totally cool.

Oh so now the new cases do matter? I didn’t hear you guys complaining about COVID during the protests

Of course he does . Smh
