dude (pedo in the oval office) can't think beyond his narcissism

Oh, sh-t

I was being facetious. The headline should have directly said it caused unhealthy conditions.

Maga mørons for you

Give them bread and circuses but charge them for water and don’t let them bring their own. On second thoughts charge them double for the bread.

Less is more, a concept Trump doesn't grasp except when he takes a pee.

All that and he fell asleep during his own fireworks.

It was awful where I live in the Chicago sprawl. So much smoke, you couldn’t see the fireworks. It looked like a scene out of Hell and sounded like a battlefield.

can’t help himself gotta eff up the atmosphere too

The laser and drone shows put on in other countries especially on New Year's Eve are really so much better. There's only so much fireworks can do - it's much cooler to watch a dragon form and fly across.

Everything Trump touches...chokes. See?

We need to find a better way to celebrate the 4th

Fireworks are horrible for our environment and contribute to the climate crisis....but then so is war.

Someone remind MAGA that fireworks are a Chinese invention.

Everything he touches...

Think Trump & GOP care about Americans??? Our nation??? This was US TAX MONEY wasted in Trump's & GOP Congress' tribute to Trump. It was never about our nation's 250th Birthday.

He can’t even get fireworks right!!

And data centers should do a lot to contribute to water use, waste pollution of our environment, and rising temps! Their technology will become obsolete but their damage will remain.

they weren't beautiful.

Seems rather backward when compared to this youtu.be/LpaSXwpKzGk?...

Evil dictator poisons city under occupation with gross displays of money and power. Dictator spends holiday away.

UGH. So unnecessary

Why are republicans always trying to harm Americans?

Did anyone show up for this plus Donald’s big speech? I wasn’t paying attention….?

Usually it is Code Orange 🎃🍊

lets try the fireworks display "poisoned the are" do better forbes

It wasn’t for us! It was for pollution! He likes the swamp! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not symbolic at all *sarcasm

Because that bastard felon in the White House is a moron and no one has the guts to tell him how damn stupid his ideas are.

I watched a few on tv . My nearby city fireworks were delayed and put on local tv too and the camera angles were so bad locals watching only saw blurry red smoke . I think the camera placement wasn’t as clear for tv as NYC fireworks but tv viewers didn’t see that cloud of smoke in DC on tv as much

I was an admirer of the USA, visited many times in the past, wonderful country and lovely people, how have you allowed this to happen?

It's not enough the water was polluted from broken sewer lines for months, the reflecting pool was turned into a polluted swamp, Trump dumped asbestos-filled debris from the former East Wing onto a public park, he had to finish the job by polluting the air for a few days too. What's next, the food?

Is there anything that Trump does that doesn't hurt someone else?

Fools.

This pic of the fireworks blasting m/b photoshop enhanced or maybe from those few seconds when is was somewhat clear. Videos show the sky filled with low clouds. Instead of a fire works light show, Trump should've had a fog horns show.🤣

Fireworks are for knuckleheads.

Trump thought more was better; the drone displays elsewhere out performed the narcissist booms.

The last time the region reached code purple air quality was the summer the smoke from the massive Canadian wildfires followed the jet stream to the area. Sunrise wasn't even visable until about 15 or 20 after actual sunrise, then it was just a red ball in the haze, like a blood red moon Code Purple

Code red air quality alert turned to code purple from Trump's DC Fireworks in dark gray area on the map CODE PURPLE AIR QUALITY So Trump could try to set a record for most fireworks From Northern Virginia across DC, central Maryland up to Baltimore and Philadelphia and southeast Pennsylvania

Gee, blowing thousands of bits of gunpowder, paper, and a variety of chemicals high over a city fills the air with particles? YA THINK?

This could have been predicted and is another Trump failure.

All in the name of that guy at the Oval.

Ask Trump. There is no pollution.

Does the current administration even care? 🤷‍♀️

#ETTD

Who did he provide the no-bid fireworks contract too?? An old laundering buddy???????

DC has been under a "Code Orange" warning since Jan 20th of 2025. 🤡

in manhattan they do the fireworks over the East River and i think the wind off the river helps keep air clear....

Ain't it funny how they set off smoke so thick nobody could even see what they paid for.

I’d forgotten about that Heck of a job.. brownie

It was a case of volume over artistic integrity. They would've looked far better with half the volume. Bet then that's pure Trump.

And the urban wildlife can't get any refuge from it. Imagine how it must affect little birds.

trump could F up a wet dream

May he get a lung disease and die soon! Every morning we wake up and ask: "Is he dead yet?"

😂

Well, Environmental Impact wasn't on my "What Are They Gonna B*tch About?" bingo card, so I'm kind of impressed by the depth of detachedness.

The Felon & his moronic admin are literally killing US & #ComplicitGOP doesn’t give a shit.

It’s astonishingly stupid to keep spewing this garbage into our children’s lungs, with the planet on fire and Homer Simpson in the White House destroying the EPA (again!) as did Neil Gorsuch’s mommy when she was there. Beam me up, Scotty, there’s too little intelligent life left on earth. Or France

Irresponsible! Why couldn’t they have used drones as they did in LA??

Waiting to hear how it was the biggest crowd in history. The largest fireworks display ever anywhere in the world.

They seemed very low this year, I could be wrong but I remember seeing them higher before.

That wasn't a fireworks display. It was more like an explosion of a munitions depot.

@forbes.com Yes the fireworks were too much as expected, but what cutting edge reporting you offer! News Flash!! Fire in the sky creates particles of smoke!? C'mon, your bias is showing again. Find something important to do.

Science knows. I loved Mother Nature zapping the fireworks. Even She is pissed with our country right now.

He's officially the President of Pestilence! He fouls our House, our land, our water & now our air. He brings disease, pain & death to our nation & our world. He is the very definition of Pestilence: 'A pernicious, evil influence or agent'. The only way to save ourselves is a massive BLUE WAVE! 🌊💙

sorry forbes, you can't advocate business and profit, republicans, and then hope to capture more readers and $$ by playing environmentalist. We're not all stupid. And you're not clever, at all.

Turn the monitors off, and, lo and behold, no pollution!

He dozed off.

We're going to have to burn it all down and start over anyway

LMAO SO.... did we just figure out "fireworks" are tiny versions of ballistic missals and frag grenades? some even are very similar to napalm ingredients. Its a celebration....

This sounds so nice

Environmental crimes. Premeditated.

As long as the petulant baby got his way and is a hero in his own eyes … that’s all that matters 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

well yeah. All fireworks shows do this.

that's billion air for ya!

And an ugly fireworks display at that. No art, just blowing stuff up all at once.

You have to ask yourself why EVERYTHING Trump does reduces the quality of life for everyone else with the exception of his oligarchs minions?

If it will own a lib they will fire every firework off.

...jfc "...impacted the amount of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere." MSM, never stop. Never ever stop vomiting up words.

Not surprised...and there were warnings ahead of time, but hey, the WANNABE DICTATOR wanted what he wanted, and the rest of the countryside has to suffer through it...

250k would have been enough 💥

Neither sleepy joe or Barrack Hussein Obama could have done it better.

JFK Jr. approves.

😂 🤣 It was freaking awesome! 👏 🇺🇸❤️

How much did this egotistical narcissist spend of OUR money ... again? RepubliCons need to stf up forever. 🤬

www.change.org/p/don-t-kill...

They just want to burn it all down. Stop the coup!!!!!

Kind like you. Anti American cunt.

Kinda sums it up.

BIGLY polluting the air folks in DC breathe………that is what Trump cares about

I don’t know what people get from the things. The drone shows are BY FAR more spectacular.

Me too. The fireworks really upset Willy.

Right? Halloween too

And he fell asleep during all that?

Such a stupid waste of money. Prayers for all the pets, children & people suffering from PTSD. Way to destroy the 4th. SMH!

Tax the rich!

They weren't even that good! The amnt, humidity, high press held the smoke down, blocking view of the maj of the display! I turned to watch simultaneous National Harbor's! Much prettier and clearer! Maybe my spot! But, I'll bet NYC, National Harbor and others got the best, not kickbacks🤑!!!

And my cat is still under the bed. Thanks.

RFK Jr says eating unexploded fireworks is a good source of essential minerals that most Americans won't get in their modern diet.

Just when ya think it can't get any worst, now people can't breathe in DC.

Free Trump-created purple air for oxygen pirates!

Ignorance or Insanity?

Love that for them

So #TrumptyDumpty created his own environmental disaster

I’m sure the fireworks set off the dumpster fire at the White House!….…🤔…oh….it’s been burning since January?…..2025?…..😐

Thanks Mr President! Always watching out for what’s best for the ppl!

So dumb.

It was insane, as to be expected

Having been in New Delhi, India for their Diwali Celebration fireworks: "it's chew the air, before you breathe it" that lasted for days. It took over a week back in the States before we felt normal. Lack of science knowledge again by this Administration.

The Creepy Corrupt Criminal Lying Felon talks & his impulse control is at a 5 yr old level. He thinks a MASSIVE amount of Fireworks bursting in the sky is more impressive than an artful display of beautiful shimmering colors, shapes & pictures by DRONES corresponding with songs. It’s safer too!

Face it Donnie is an incompetent putz.

Global protest must be organized against this felonious, idiotic, greedy, psychopathic monster who, along w his fellow fascists & tyrants, fake "xtians" & pay-to-play participants in bribery & palm greasing, are destroying economy / ecology/ democracy / equality by using propaganda & lies to steal.

That's just Trump trying his best to kill off a few more unhealthy cult members. There were 8 mass shootings across the US on July 4th, but the mass media is ignoring the 20 dead and the 126 injured in favour of Trump's dumb ass speech.
