's highly touted Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza at Mount Rushmore isn't coming cheap -- it will cost the country well over half a million bucks ... and could cause a spike in coronavirus cases to boot.
The July 3 celebration with be the first at the South Dakota landmark since 2009 due to environmental issues, and Trump's really hyping it up ... while ignoring the COVID-19 related risks of gathering thousands for a fireworks display.will travel to Rushmore Friday to take in the celebration ... which TMZ's learned has a price tag of nearly $600k, if not more.
According to federal procurement docs ... an environmental consulting service called Ero Resources Corporation was paid $138,800 to work on the event. Another consulting company got over $30k for permit review and display inspection, while a protective services business landed nearly $33k to provide security and screening.
But, that's not all ... the docs show nearly $30k spent on National Fire Protection Association code consultation ... and about $3,500 on portable toilets.
Given the $ to clean up CHOP and fake impeachment’s and riot garbage leave behind, $600k is quite a bargain yes? Happy 4th!!
Worth every penny!!! 🇺🇸
Good! We deserve it! Thank you!! POTUS
How much has the looting cost?
Money well spent!
How much will ALL of the BLM Riots Damage Cost 😉
Are you sure this wasnt MrBeast
Still cheaper than all the Libtards spending. At least this is for all of us Americans MAGA TRUMP2020
Asked for by no one
Since when the left care about costs?
Wait!! We tax payers just spent $600K on fireworks? How many free blackcats did we get?
fuck yea. should of spent 600 million and pissed the libs off even more. GOD BLESS AMERICA
Cheaper than Obama vacation’s
Chump change for the US government. The same politicians complaining are the same loading up every bill with unrelated pork barrel spending.
What a bargain. I thought it would be more. Worth every penny. Glad my tax dollars are being put to good use. MAGA !!
It was worth it.
Who cares
Well worth it
People supporting this are just so stupid. This man is destroying America! He's is allowing people to die and couldn't care less. He has alienated leaders of most other countries. The world is laughing at the once great United States because of him. Open your eyes!
Corona gawn get they ass...only time I hope they do get it! Lawd 4Give me😆
And worth it!
Land of Scammers!!! yall broke af and got shit to spend money on so many useless shit
Classy
Waste of money
Not that bad! At least he didn’t have a 60k hotdog party like Obama did! “Hotdogs”
Oh geez a billionaire wasting money instead of helping the need
Pity they didn’t tie him to one of the fireworks and set America free from this racist dictator....
Should have been $1M!!! Go big or go home! This is America!!!
would have been nice to get more than one check...
600k? Harvey uses that much a year in toilet paper cause of the shit that comes out his mouth. Charles you crazy too.
That’s literally nothing! It’s to celebrate your countries Freedom but I guess all Liberals would have prefer the Confederates have won the Civil war since apparently it’s a problem to celebrate a free country now. Ps. Obama spent more on state dinners!!
A drop in the bucket compared to the money needed to Fox what was burned, looted and destroyed by your cronies
That’s all!? Wow, I was thinking over a million minimum!
Well worth it!!
God, I hope a bomb is sent that way
Please! The rioters and looters are costing us billions. For 600k at least we get to enjoy some works.
But you’ll love them
Oh so like maybe 6-10 citizens worth of school debt?!? Yea makes perfect sense!
How much in damage by the looters and rioters?
Not bad since he has collected his salary as president in over 3 years
Less than what we pay on medical, food, and housing illegals.
In Kentucky it cost $225,000 to move a statue 100 miles so talk about wasteful
That’s 5% of what the Democrats have spent trying to impeach him.
Every police vehicle destroyed in the “protests” average $80k each. Guess where I would rather see money go 😏 stopthehypocrisy
Obama gave $150,000,000,000 to Iran.
TMZ should stick to doing rapper PR.
Why don’t they use police funding for this?
So Obama blew that on funding his terrorest foundation for one day
Stocks like this, hell yeah!!!!! Go Trump!!!!
Greatest country in the history of the world. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Send the tab to Sleepy Joe he will think he’s signing his grocery bill! 😝
is socialist propaganda and God bless the 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸
So?
He better be paying for it. realDonaldTrump asshole
At least it’s spent on fireworks and not little boys
It’s funny how you tweet the cost of celebrating Fourth of July, but you don’t tweet the cost of destruction from protestors and vandalism. Some cities are looking at $500 million in destruction. Where is the tweet on that
That money 💰 is literally going up in smoke 🚬 instead of helping Americans in this time of need
Unlike TMZ patriots like Trump appreciate its core values
Money well spent. God Bless America!
That is the cost every year as long as we have been celebrating piss off
Sooooo, who’s paying for that?
He sure knows how to spend other people's money wastefully.
Macys firework show in NY has cost 6,000,000. Shows are expensive. What is your point?
I sent in 100 dollars to help pay the cost.
I wonder how much the riots cost🤔
Can’t wait!!! Beautiful
I Will stay home and vote bye mail.and injoy life.God help us.
*spuck* What?
Sounds awesome
That can't be right. It's a couple million just for the fly over alone. He is so desperate to have a positive rally he is doing at Mr. Rushmore, with fireworks, free chewing baccy, bbq, Schlitz Malt liquor and guns.
God Bless America.
Make sure he pays upfront
Appears based on comments that We are all down with a Huge ass party for America’s birthday!! ❤️🇺🇸🎉
About the cost of a trip Michelle Obama made to China.
If the aliens were to come to earth and destroy it, they need to go here first and take up all the idiots who attend. Then, make their way around the UnitedStates for the rest of the idiots. And leave everyone who’s taking COVIDー19 seriously, alone!
Televise it and it makes mad cash yo!
BEST PRESIDENT EVER!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sounds like a bargain
Money well spent
I like the idea of celebrating America!! But I guess the media would rather us watch protesters burning buildings & historical monuments.
Big deal how much they cost. It is a shame it’s all one sided yet again.
How much you think it cost us citizens that pay taxes, to clean up after all the riots & protests across this country How much did it cost taxpayers to pay for the bullshit impeachment proceedings?
He should have spent a million!
Well spent
Wish I was there
Good
& how much does cleaning up after the riots cost? The property damage?
Likes to spend money that’s not his.
Considering the money he's made FOR America he could spend billions and no one would care.
I figured it would be more gonna be a great show to watch on tv. usa
Good!!! I hope it is the best ever!!!!
Blasting over a defaced mountain top 600k. It’s all our money. Those 13 hr Amazon drivers paid, those nurses working w/COVID patients, pd, single moms holding it dwn, pd, us retirees, pd, flt attendants flying five days straight 4 flts a day, pd.
Taxpayers paying for a campaign ad... what a country.
세상의 문제보다 더 중요한 자신의 구원을 돌아볼 때입니다. ✳거듭난 삶으로 메시아의 오심을 준비해야합니다. 📢
Although I don’t like seeing my tax dollars being wasted by anyone.. did we do this for every single trip done by previous presidents? This seems tiresome
All for less than the cost of a burned down Autozone !!
And more lives because of realDonaldTrump not giving a damn about anyone .. also in an area that usually bans fireworks because of fire risks. TrumpDictatorship TrumpIsUnwell
So?
Better than $65,000 on Hot Dogs and Pizza like Obama did.
Dang! I would love to be there! Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️
Bargain
Decent!
Disney spends 50k per day on fireworks. What’s your point? It’s 4th of July.. take a break from the douchiness if you’re able.
We pay our taxes so Trump can have an expensive Firework show.... smh
USA USA USA 🇺🇸 👊👍👏🏻👏🏻
🇺🇸
✅
Trumpstupidity of a biggot
Well worth it.
That’ll be a dope show
Somewhat. We wasted more money on Congress is vacations than that. I hope it’s on TV and I’m gonna watch it and enjoy every moment of it. Celebrate stop bitching.
And?
And?
Trump gotta sell like 30 kids for this event 🤔
Do it
So?
I agree, invest in riot control equipment.
It better be paid for by the RNC! America shouldn't be financing his rallies!
I hope nobody shows up again!!!!🤣🤣👌
Not completely relevant but monuments and slave business owners statues have more rights than African-American (and many other ethnic minorities). America, get help.
Thus proving he cares not about middle or low class America, he cares about upper class money. no one at this point (especially business owners) should be splurging $600,000.
Destroy Mount Rushmore
To celebrate a failed president and a failed country
And general park repair and maintenance.
And COVID19 tests
We could use that for PPE
GOOD! Its call an INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION!! NOT FIREWORKS AT MOUNT RUSHMORE!! CLOWNS!!
Completely useless uneducated responses. Don’t u people realize the amount of unnecessary spending the govt does day in & day out basis? 600k is nothing in the grand scheme of things. But hey what do I know bc when they move to spend billions on stimulus you people will be mum.
No big deal, its not like that money could be used in a million other places right now. FFS While citizens struggle to eat, to live, the traitor in chief blows your money on sparkley things. Sparkley things that could start a forest fire and hurt so many more. 😑 VoteTrumpOut
Good, if the democrats can waste millions on investigations, then Trump can spend 1/2 million on fireworks.
And your point is?
Go Trump! 4 more years! Trump2020
Obama mansion is 20 times that
Cant wait to see it
So what? So fucking what? How much did the Democrats spend on the fake Russian hoax?
4th Of July In Vegas
God bless the USA
Not nearly as much as all the vandalism has cost the taxpayers
This even will raise the spirits of millions.
Yet some people still waiting on a first check
Who tha fuck cares?👀🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I feel like this means we could be providing free PPE to our essential workers. The feds just choose not to.
Ridiculous!
What was the total money amount that the destructive and racist looting and rioting and protesting cost
How much did the clean-up of all the riots cost?
Costs way less than clean up from all the riots.
Obama gave away 1.5 billion. Again President Trump saving Americans money yet again.
Is that factoring in Corona hospital costs also?
That’s about the cost of a monument torn down by rioters.
Most firework shows cost this much. Glad it’s still going on!!
No mention taxpayers probably get to pay for this show Trump is throwing to entertain himself.
Good! I wish it cost more! GOD BLESS AMERICA. Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump2020
How about using this money for something useful like investigating who killed VanessaGuillen.
NeIkFiIms 😁 urwelcome 😁🤫 lol
I would like this money to go to the people of SD.
I hope it’s televised, I’d watch! It’s not the countries money, it’s his, he hasn’t taken a cent in salary, I think it would be a lit event
Good
If they don’t do a display, you would complain.
🤔No riots over Trump spending $600K on fireworks, meanwhile the country has 1/4 of all the worlds Covid-19 deaths.
Who cares!!! why dont you go back to reporting hollywood. Leave the political BS to the other fake news media .
Well worth it !!!!!
Its worth every penny!
Looking forward to it! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Great optics for realDonaldTrump
Who cares? We are celebrating our country & it's founding fathers!
What is this president fascination with non-animated objects?
And
Good let individuals celebrate their independence locked down in their homes.
Who gives a shit?
It’s worth it.
Who cares about PPE or Homeless and Hungry in America or fires on a land that doesn't belong to you or even that maybe people need help paying bills. Nah he doesn't care, that's for sure.
So what?
That’s it?
To be honest, I'm surprised it's not more.
So what.....you got a problem Levin you going to try to start some shit over fireworks
But y’all aren’t talking about the billions Obama sent Iran are you? 👎🏼
Do you know how much that could help out a hospital rn?
What have all these riots cost?
But how much will it cost when he sets that area on fire from said fireworks? That area is extremely dry and they said fireworks are absolutely banned. But he’s gonna light them off anyway for a photo opp for his campaign.🤦🏽♂️this man is extremely dangerous to America. 🤦🏽♂️
Non of his supporters will wear mask because the ones they like are probably to obvious
That's it? Can we donate for a bigger fireworks display? I'd donate to build a Trump 2020 fireworks display above Mt. Rushmore!!!!
That 600k could help a lot of struggling Americans right now! Must be nice...
How much did the riots cost?
Trump loves America!! Biden loves China.
Heard through sources that there will be a confederate fireworks flag during the show as an up yours to the people trying to revise history.
Nice, beacuse Nancy Pelosi's Drinking has Cost the American People Millions
Fuck yeah!! Happy Birthday America!!! Losers talking about PPE
So
Awesome he always goes first class! MAGA !
What does he care, it's not his money ?
I wonder what the protests cost?
TMZ is worried about a POTUS celebrating our nations birthday but not the Marxist BLM and pride parades... you can’t make this up. Stay in your lanes liberal deranged reporters trying who try to discredit an event because of DTS...
It’s going to be spectacular!
I guess you missed filming Bill Clinton’s gf being arrested by the feds yesterday.
That's like nothing with 7 trillion out the door recently.
600k on that while kids starvin 🤷🏾♂️
How much will the riots of Minneapolis and New York City cost only those?
...and? All does anymore is stir the shit pot, and try to cause more racial division. Your show now SUCKS! What happened to entertainment news? You've turned into a division of BLM + MSNBC fake news. I haven't watched your show since you started reporting riots.
So, the small government and less spending conservatives are ok with this? If so, your cult-like hypocrisy is showing.
He's sending a middle finger to the BLM movement
It’s going to be one hell of a show!
Well worth it!
Discusting
Invest the money in the start up community businesses
Somebody with a lil money might as well stack some boom boom pow 🧨 up there ....lil reconstructive surgery for the forefathers they gettin real old 🥱😈 make em pretty
When it's something to do with Trump and people gather you mention the virus, yet you don't say anything about it when its protesters/rioters. I have seen a few live streams where multiple people don't have masks.
So!
More tax payers money......and the rich are not paying a dime.....
TMZ used to be funny and moderate. Now it’s like every other liberal news station ripping on everything Trump or the conservatives do. Why watch? Pandering to half the country. Be fair. Be funny. Go back to what brought you to this point in the first place.
Dont tell me we dont have money for a stimulus. 'Let them eat cake' is Trumps new campaign slogan.
That’s a few more stimulus checks down the drain....
They haven’t had fireworks at Mount Rushmore in a decade or more. There is concern for the forest and the potential for fire. Trump doesn’t care about the environment and I’m sure that other presidents have avoided it, makes it that much more appealing to him.
Fireworks on stolen land ... those are sacred mountains to the Lakota they should be given back to the Lakota people
Better spent than on reparations
We can’t afford to give our fellow people stimulus checks like Canada and other countries are doing but yet we can afford fucking fireworks on a bullshit holiday. Wow just wow
Why has he not contracted the virus? He never follows the rules.
America’s Mount Rushmore Fireworks Event... cmon losers get it right
Worth it... luv America! ❤️🌻
Oh what a great investment. NOT.
I can’t wait!
Probably worth it
Sweet!
Money well spent 🎉
How much did bidens riots cost
Use the money they took away from the police to pay for it
Spend more!
Why is it 'Trumps' - It's Americas Fireworks event. Now that we're talking.. why are you even posting something like this? The only purpose is to be onboard the let's rag on Trump train. C'mon people
We need that kind of money to buy PPE for Hospitals and Doctor’s offices. Not another show for Trump.
that could of been a 2nd stimulus
Is this fireworks event going to be on tv or streamed?
He’s in credit though, isn’t he? He’s donated his presidential salary every year since he won.
.... Could’ve used that money for something useful but ok ig
Has he forgotten that there is a pandemic?
Yay, Trump!! Happy 4th!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wish it were $1 million. Love America!!!
That’s a whole lot of PPE that could be purchased.
ok
Worth it.
