Molehill Trump at Mount Rushmore: Darcy cartoon



President Trump is headed to Mount Rushmore, for another photo-op, not for his enshrinement next to President’s Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln. Trump’s head is too big ...

Fireworks will follow at 9:15. Those fireworks, and the event happening during the Coronavirus surge have sparked safety concerns. It will be the first time in a decade that fireworks have been set off at Mt. Rushmore, and because it has been extremely dry in the area, there is worry over wildfires erupting. “What can burn? It’s stone,” said blockhead Trump.

There will be 7,500 seats and no social distancing and no mask wearing enforced, although masks will be offered, according to South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, a Republican. “We will have a large event on July 3. We told folks that have concerns that they can stay home ...
we’ll be giving out free face masks,
if they choose to wear one.
But we won’t be social distancing.”

Many of the 7,500 attending the event will be coming from outside South Dakota. Requests for tickets came in from states now getting hit hard by the Coronavirus surge-- Texas, Florida and California. (Many may bring the virus with them)
