'God is angry': Internet bemused as Mother Nature comes for Trump's Mount Rushmore speech

By Daniel Hampton
Published July 3, 2026 7:03 PM ET

Severe weather threatened to put a damper on Friday on President Donald Trump's plans to speak near Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, prompting amusement from internet critics who said it seemingly indicated "god is angry."

Trump was flying to South Dakota as part of a broader July 4 and America-250 trip, planning to visit the iconic American landmark for an Independence Day fireworks celebration.

But Mother Nature, it seems, had other plans. A severe thunderstorm warning was in effect until 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time for the area, with quarter size hail that could damage vehicles reported by the National Weather Service.

That orange hair jerk and those two supporting traitor enablers from sitting on fix noise have no idea what its like to live in South Dakota ( oh, excuse me one is from South Dakota , what a disgrace) like I did being an air force brat...........the weather and its force in that state is stronger and deadlier than that pea brain traitor.......trying to massage his ego...............the presidents on Mt. Rushmore don't like traitors.............and neither does the Crazy Horse monument being constructed in the Black Hills.............
