Trump Tells Supporters He Will ‘Never Concede’

Ivanka Trump questioned over inauguration funds ‘misuse’

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will travel to South Dakota and attend a fireworks display at Mount Rushmore on July 3 to be held in honor of Independence Day.

“Were getting them [the fireworks] at the great monument, were getting them, I got fireworks … it hasnt been allowed for environmental reasons, you believe that one, its all stone,” Trump said on The Dan Bongino Show. “Wheres the environmental reason?
