Trump’s visit to Mount Rushmore and a salute plan
- Trump’s visit to Mount Rushmore in Keystone (Piedmont Dakota) is planned to be accompanied by fireworks over the memorial.
- After the visit, the fireworks are expected to be fired off in Washington, D.C., in connection with the Fourth of July, as part of the Salute to America.
- The materials also explain that the fireworks will be synchronized with the timing of the speeches: the first wave of fireworks will be timed to the start of the speech, and the second wave will be timed to the end.
President Donald Trump will travel to Mount Rushmore, where he will hold a speech and deliver a salute with fireworks over the memorial. According to the schedule, after the speech Trump will fly from Keystone in the Black Hills on Air Force One, piloted by Larry Rhoden.
The material notes that, according to Doug Burgum’s estimates, the fireworks could be visible from the sky for about 250 miles. The CNN channel reports that this is due to the fact that the fireworks will be launched from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and will be visible in the sky over Freedom 250 at America250.
After the Mount Rushmore visit, Trump plans to travel to Washington, D.C., where he will attend the Fourth of July celebrations. The material also says that, during the Salute to America, the president’s remarks will be broadcast in the “really long” format.
According to the materials, the fireworks will include four-minute-long salvos: a set of fireworks for the president’s speech, fireworks that will be fired during the speech, and fireworks that will be fired after the speech. The materials also note that the fireworks will be launched from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and that the fireworks will be visible over Freedom 250 at America250.
The material also says that Trump’s visit will include a performance by the SPIRIT OF ’76 at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., during which the “martyrs” of the American Revolution will be honored, with Caesar Rodney’s speech as part of the 12 Soldiers of the Revolution and the Prison Ship Martyrs.
