7:07Now PlayingFreedom 250 is planning an 850,000-firework spectacle over Washington, D.C., more than 100 times the size of last year’s normal Fourth of July show, all while Trump chases a Guinness record and gives a speech that could push the display late into the night. The event comes during dangerous heat, drought conditions, massive security restrictions, and serious concerns about smoke, fine-particle pollution, heavy metals, perchlorates, wildlife, and the Potomac. America’s 250th birthday should be a national celebration, but Trump’s version looks like another ego-driven stunt where the public sweats, waits, breathes the fallout, and watches him claim credit for the explosion. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
