“We’re getting them [the fireworks] at the great monument, we’re getting them, I got fireworks ... it hasn’t been allowed for environmental reasons, you believe that one, it’s all stone,“ Trump said on ”The Dan Bongino Show.“ ”Where’s the environmental reason? I got it approved so I’m going to go there on July 3, and they’re going to have the big fireworks.”
