‘Poisoning air to own the libs’: Trump’s fireworks spark health warnings as smoke lingers

Дата публикации: 05-07-2026 15:20:24


President Donald Trump's record-breaking fireworks show, which kicked off just before midnight Saturday, prompted concern among weather officials, who on Sunday issued an air quality alert citing 'residual holiday firework smoke' as a contributing factor, Fox 5 reported.“Hazardous firework-induced smog continues to hover over Washington D.C. this morning. Avoid time outdoors if you can,” wrote meteorologist Matthew Cappucci Sunday in a social media post on X. “The air [is] so filled with microscopic particulates that it’s potentially harmful to exert oneself outside. CODE PURPLE alert in effect.”Code Purple is one of six categories used by the Environmental Protection Agency to measure air quality, and is the second-most severe of the six, just behind Code Maroon, which is issued only in “emergency conditions.”The impact of Trump’s fireworks show on air quality was predicted well in advance, with the National Park Service assessing that nearby residents should “wear an N95 mask when outdoors,” and “remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show,” according to internal National Park documents obtained by The Washington Post.“Poisoning the air to own the libs after napalming our Capitol to ‘prove’ how ‘patriotic’ you are,” quipped Joanne Carducci, a prominent liberal commentator, in a social media post to her more than 1 million followers.Joyce Carol Oates, an author and former Ivy League professor, issued a more solemn condemnation of what she characterized as Trump’s disregard for D.C. residents.“Fireworks, like much in life, loses its aesthetic value the more there is of it; beyond a point, even the eye becomes bored,” Oates wrote Sunday in a social media post on X to her nearly 285,000 followers. “Presumably [Trump] wanted the ‘biggest, best’ fireworks in all of D.C. history without regard for air quality or anyone with respiratory problems.”fireworks like much in life loses its aesthetic value the more there is of it; beyond a point, even the eye becomes bored.presumably T***p wanted the "biggest, best" fireworks in all of D.C. history without regard for air quality or anyone with respiratory problems. https://t.co/CMAIi2u8ap— Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) July 5, 2026

President Donald Trump's record-breaking fireworks show, which kicked off just before midnight Saturday, prompted concern among weather officials, who on Sunday issued an air quality alert citing 'residual holiday firework smoke' as a contributing factor, Fox 5 reported.

“Hazardous firework-induced smog continues to hover over Washington D.C. this morning. Avoid time outdoors if you can,” wrote meteorologist Matthew Cappucci Sunday in a social media post on X. “The air [is] so filled with microscopic particulates that it’s potentially harmful to exert oneself outside. CODE PURPLE alert in effect.”

Code Purple is one of six categories used by the Environmental Protection Agency to measure air quality, and is the second-most severe of the six, just behind Code Maroon, which is issued only in “emergency conditions.”

The impact of Trump’s fireworks show on air quality was predicted well in advance, with the National Park Service assessing that nearby residents should “wear an N95 mask when outdoors,” and “remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show,” according to internal National Park documents obtained by The Washington Post.

“Poisoning the air to own the libs after napalming our Capitol to ‘prove’ how ‘patriotic’ you are,” quipped Joanne Carducci, a prominent liberal commentator, in a social media post to her more than 1 million followers.

Joyce Carol Oates, an author and former Ivy League professor, issued a more solemn condemnation of what she characterized as Trump’s disregard for D.C. residents.

“Fireworks, like much in life, loses its aesthetic value the more there is of it; beyond a point, even the eye becomes bored,” Oates wrote Sunday in a social media post on X to her nearly 285,000 followers. “Presumably [Trump] wanted the ‘biggest, best’ fireworks in all of D.C. history without regard for air quality or anyone with respiratory problems.”
