Normal fireworks display?
About 40,000.
So the display being managed by the Interior Department/Parks Service will explode about 40 times the number of pyrotechnic devices as normal- which all produce a fine particulate of residue in the air.
The Interior Department is worried, but not about YOUR health, or the health of those who attend, or who live in the area where that fine particulate will change the air quality…. For the worse….. during a heat wave.
In fact, they are so concerned that they have issued a health alert, warning people to stay inside as much as possible, and to wear an N-95 mask to filter out those fine particulates.
But here’s the thing- the Interior Department issued this as an internal memo to its own personnel. They did not think to issue it as a public announcement, and when asked about it, refused to comment.

They did not think to issue it as a public announcement, and when asked about it, refused to comment.Of course they won't warn the public. That would throw shade on Trump's celebration of himself. Will Trump be downwind of the show?
Speaking of celebrations of himself:
Trump heads to Mount Rushmore, where efforts to impose his likeness have stalledhttps://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/politics/arti...I looked at some pix of the mountain. There is an outcropping, to the left of Washington, that is both bigger, and higher, than Washington. The perfect place for God On Earth Trump. He has the total resourced of the government to stabilize that outcropping. After all, who cares about cost, when it's for glorifying Trump the Great?

I’ve read that there is no more good solid rock on that hillside on which to carve/blast a face.
If that’s true, Trump might still get his image on the mountain if they can isolate a vertical crack in the rockface- and then he can be uniquely celebrated as the only president on Mt. Rushmore to be facing in the opposite direction.

As long as he’s facing in the opposite direction, I think the most appropriate way to honor Trump is to cut a life-size replica of his fat ass. After all, he is the biggest ass on the planet.

Exactly my “roundabout” suggestion.
It was that “vertical crack” that should have tipped you off

Epoxy adhesives were not invented until the mid 30s, and not commercially available until the 40s. Given the infinite budget that would be made available for the glorification of Trump the Great, just pump every crack in that, bigger, higher, outcropping, full of epoxy, to hold it together. Then we have our monument to Trump the Great, bigger and higher than all the other Presidents.

With all of that epoxy, they might give Trump a true “Mara Lago face”.
But I’ll stick with the hope that another part of his anatomy is highlighted- actually the better part of him.

Missed it. My bad. 🫣
