Trump's next publicity stunt: Mt. Rushmore on or about the 4th of July

It looks like a very small event, no masks at all, all white, no distancing, but not enough of a crowd to make it packed.

I skimmed through, they had someone impersonating Able Lincoln with some kind of speech, and three native American performers. Hoop dance. I have seen them so often, and they are so boring.

Oh, the President’s plan is just landing, so I guess they will have to redo the hoop dance for him.

I so wanted him to parachute out of the plane… sort of.

His speech, for the 4th of July, is going to be about how awesome all those Confederate traitor’s statues are and how terrible it is that liberals want to take them down.

And you know Trump will be whispering to Melania where on that hill he wants his figure carved.

I imagine there will be some fires. But absolutely not his fault. [sarcasm]Those park rangers should have swept the forest floor like he’s always been saying he is right about. And it probably wasn’t even the fireworks - just Antifa trying to burn shit down to make him look bad. Yeah, that’s the ticket. [/sarcasm]

Whispering to Melania? I think it’s more likely he’ll issue an Executive Order next Monday telling the Department of the Interior to start blasting.

Haha, it would be terrible if they messed up his carving. Maybe not getting the orange quite right.

About to go out to see our cities fireworks. So two military bands at Rushmore so far for entertainment. One band stated that they get together every month to practice. I take it there will not be one recognizable entertainer?

There’s going to be a world famous clown.

The AP has a story up about his speech; did anyone watch?

:roll_eyes:

Ah, I see he opted for dark, divisive and batshit. Is he speaking again tomorrow? Should be a hoot.

There was this as well:

:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

This really is one of the most head-slappingly idiotic things he has ever said, and that’s saying something.

Sounds like Stephen Miller, the modern incarnation of Joseph Goebbels, has been speechwriting again.

Our orange hero has achieved a 2-for-1 here: risk spreading COVID-19 (apparently his favorite hobby) while risking wildfires by setting off fireworks above forests that are largely tinder-dry because so many trees have been killed by mountain bark beetles (in large part due to that “Chinese hoax”, climate change).

(CNN)Kimberly Guilfoyle – the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr. and a top fundraiser for the Trump campaign – has tested positive for coronavirus, according to a top official for the committee she leads.
“After testing positive, Kimberly was immediately isolated to limit any exposure,” said Sergio Gor, chief of staff for the Trump Victory Finance Committee. “She’s doing well, and will be retested to ensure the diagnosis is correct since she’s asymptomatic but as a precaution will cancel all upcoming events. Donald Trump Jr was tested negative, but as a precaution is also self isolating and is canceling all public events.”
Guilfoyle tested positive in South Dakota before she was set to attend the President’s event at Mount Rushmore, a person familiar with the matter and a campaign source familiar with the matter said.

The only thing I can think is Chump realizes he is going to lose in November and intends to go out in a huge bang.
