Johnson Invites Trump, Burgum to Host Independence Day Fireworks at Mount Rushmore 

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) invited the President Trump and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to host a fireworks celebration at Mount Rushmore for Independence Day. The last celebration with fireworks at Mount Rushmore was in 2020, during President Trump’s first administration.

“Celebrating our nation’s independence at the foot of Mount Rushmore is quintessentially American,” said Johnson. “Whether it’s fireworks, drones, lasers, or something else, a show brings another level of energy to the patriotic celebration. I hope President Trump and Secretary Burgum can join the festivities at our historic national landmark.”

Johnson has been supportive of fireworks celebrations at Mount Rushmore in previous years and has attended past Independence Day events at the monument.

  1. Although I’d love to have them here this year, it would be tremendously important to have them for our country’s 250th anniversary in 2026.

  2. WTF! I am sick of Dusty sucking up to Trump and won’t vote for him again. Can he even do this or would an invite need to come from the Governor?

    1. No Sh*t! The previous fireworks have already contaminated the water and caused fires. Just paint
      George orange and be done.

  3. If fireworks contaminated the water (they didn’t) be sure not to drink the water in Rapid Valley.

    According to the enviro whackos there are no trees in the Hills for timber companies so there must be none to burn.

    Either way, I’d prefer a drone and lazer show, but NPS doesn’t like the extra work (which has been the real reason they’ve been opposed to fireworks).
