That would be cool. Let's do it. I might even bite the traffic to attend.

Trump allies want to smash the Guinness World Record for the world's biggest fireworks show, planning over 30 minutes of pyrotechnics in D.C. this July 4.

The supersized spectacle for America's 250th birthday is the latest Trump touch on D.C., including a never-before-seen UFC cage fight on the White House lawn next month — putting Washington on its highest-ever July 4 security footing.
The fireworks spectacle will run nearly twice as long as last year's show on the National Mall.

Breaking the world record — set in the Philippines in 2016 — will take more than 810,904 fireworks.

Freedom 250, a White House-backed initiative leading the event, is tapping Pennsylvania-based Pyrotecnico, which has done events like the Super Bowl.

"We are shooting to break the record," Jodi Dague, the director of marketing at Pyrotecnico, told Axios in an email.

Pyrotecnico has been making their own fireworks since 1889.

I don’t like fireworks for what they do to the environment (litter) and wildlife (loud noises and lights).

That was an attempt at a non-partisan joke on the heels of a China visit.

Nobody's talking about 5/17. I'm surprised by the lack of attention.

I’m a conservationist. Protecting natural spaces is my biggest disagreement with the Right.

Wonder if he’ll get one bigger than this. Maybe get 10 of them for the grand finale
