'It won't work': Columnist claims massive Trump's July 4 stunt is act of revenge

Fears are mounting over President Donald Trump's massive Independence Day fireworks display for one simple reason. His administration "couldn't even paint a pool blue."That's the criticism from MS NOW editor Ryan Teague Beckworth in an opinion piece detailing his pending dread of a 40-minute pyrotechnics "stunt" slated for 11 p.m. in Washington D.C."Organizers aim to launch more than 850,000 fireworks — compared to the 7,000 at the 2025 show," wrote Beckworth. "The fireworks display is just another attempt to force the city to submit to his whims. As with all his grandiose gestures, it won’t work."Beckworth pointed to multiple problems that have plagued the Great American State Fair in Washington D.C. — the extreme heat, complaints of "inedible" food and a collapsing stage, among them — as reasons not to trust the Trump team to pull off the last big shebang.The writer also suggested the firework show was a form of revenge. "Ninety percent of Washington voted against Trump in 2024, one of the largest margins of any U.S. city," wrote Beckworth."Trump doesn’t like that. He envisions himself as a grand potentate overseeing the capital city. Like Ozymandias, he wants its residents to build him a great arch and an opulent ballroom and hold elaborate events in his honor."Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kyle Whitmere had another complaint for Trump, not as a citizen, but a dad."Donald Trump might have kids," he wrote on X, "but anyone who schedules fireworks at 11 p.m. never parented children."

‘Going to be brutal’: Trump’s ‘dangerous’ July 4th finale hit with ominous predictions

President Donald Trump’s record-breaking fireworks show slated for Saturday night has a growing number of critics worried about the safety of Washington, D.C. residents, with one commentator offering a particularly disturbing prediction as to how the event could take a turn for the worse.Trump announced the fireworks show in June, and proudly touted that it would be “the LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY” in a post on social media. Around 850,000 fireworks are expected to be launched during the show, scheduled to begin around 11 p.m. Saturday night.A handful of internal National Park Service documents obtained this week by The Washington Post, however, revealed that the fireworks show is expected to cause “dangerous pollution” and “very unhealthy conditions” around the National Mall, conditions so severe that several critics feared the event could turn into a disaster.“They'll probably accidentally set the White House on fire,” predicted Nathan Robinson, editor-in-chief of Current Affairs and political commentator, in a social media post on X Saturday.The air quality at the fireworks show is expected to be so dire that the Park Service advised that attendees “wear an N95 mask when outdoors,” and that they should “remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.”“Air quality is already bad due to the heat, this is gonna be brutal,” predicted Amanda Carpenter, writer and editor at Protect Democracy and former writer for The Bulwark and CNN contributor, in a social media post on X Saturday.Democratic communications strategist Josh Dorner predicted it was unlikely that attendees would adhere to the Park Service’s warning, further exacerbating the danger present at the event.“The air is going to be SO BAD because of the enormous quantity of fireworks to be set off tonight in DC that officials cautioned people nearby to wear an N95 mask, which I am guessing approximately no one will do,” Dorner wrote Saturday in a social media post on X.And Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center of Economic & Policy Research, argued that a show of such magnitude was simply beyond Trump’s ability to oversee safely.“This is waaaay too complicated for an 80-year-old man suffering from dementia to understand,” Baker wrote Saturday in a social media post on X.they'll probably accidentally set the white house on fire https://t.co/feXssTlI2i— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) July 4, 2026

Masked men with Confederate flags storm D.C. on July 4: video

Hundreds of Confederate flag-bearing men marched into Washington, D.C. on July 4th, according to multiple reports. In a post on X, journalist Mitchell Miller, a reporter for WTOP News, shared a video of what he described as "a group of masked men gathered at Union Station" with Confederate flags and calls for "reclaiming the country and getting rid of immigrants." Miller added, "They have been marching across Capitol Hill."He wasn't the only one who captured the spectacle. PatriotTakes, which follows right-wing extremism, estimated in a post on X, "around 400 white nationalists Patriot Front members are marching in D.C. today with Confederate flags, etc."PatriotTakes reported that "a streamer with the group described it as a 'total Aryan victory.'"Spencer Allan Brooks, a local D.C. reporter, also posted video of the masked men. "White supremacist group Patriot Front is marching around Washington, DC this morning," he wrote. "They were seen at Union Station and in Capitol Hill neighborhoods."Videos showed that some of the flags were also upside-down American flags. Reuters noted in photo captions that Patriot Front members were also seen in nearby New Carrollton, Maryland.
