The National Park Service stopped allowing fireworks shows at Mt. Rushmore in 2010, worried that the drought conditions could lead to wildfires.  You think Trump gives a shit?  Of course not!  It's all about him so he's planning on going ahead with his fireworks show on July 3 at the iconic site.

 
Trump has wanted to have a fireworks show at Mt. Rushmore since 2018, but advisers had successfully steered him away from that idea.  When he was asked about the risk of wildfire earlier this year, Trump failed to see the large picture of the surrounding forest.  "What can burn? It's stone," he said in January.  What a fucking idiot!!

 
Earlier this month, the U.S. Drought Monitor labeled nearly all of southwestern South Dakota, including most of the Black Hills, as "abnormally dry."  Bill Gabbert, the former fire management officer for Mount Rushmore said that shooting fireworks over the extremely flammable ponderosa pine forest should not be done.  "Burning debris, the burning embers and unexploded shells fall into a ponderosa pine forest and ponderosa pine is extremely flammable," said Gabbert.  He also said: "Shooting fireworks over a ponderosa pine forest, or any flammable vegetation, is ill advised and should not be done.  Period."

 
You think the Black Hills look black now, wait and see what they'll look like if there's a fire there thanks to Trump's arrogance and stupidity.
