Air Force One flew over Mount Rushmore on Friday night as protesters blocked a highway down the road in Keystone during the monument's first Fourth of July fireworks celebration since 2009.

The crowd filled with red Trump 2020 attire got it to its feet and cheered, looking to the sky, as the live video of Air Force One appeared on the big screens posted below Mount Rushmore.

Minutes later, Air Force One crossed the blue sky above Mount Rushmore and the crowd went wild as rock music blasted from speakers.

The day leading up to the fireworks had the festive excited vibe of a presidential campaign event with many in the crowd showed their support for Trump’s reelection campaign with Make American Great Again hats and Trump 2020 T-shirts and banners.

IF you recall, the orange sociopath decided to fly the People's Air Force One over Daytona 500, as well.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. awful lot of empty seats.

[2naSalit]

12. Yup...

And the one photo that is circulating shows only a few hundred all packed in at the front. Since the seats are multicolored it's kind of hard to make out the empty ones at first.

5. Donnie is yacking tonight?

Didn't know. Don't care.

[Yavin4]

6. Reminds me of the opening of the tv show, "The Man in the High Castle"

[Retrograde]

9. Reminds me of the scene from Triumph of the Will

that shows Hitler's plane descending from the heavens so he could speak at a torch-lit rally.

[IronLionZion]

11. We are living it

[Freethinker65]

7. All for show and future campaign ads paid for with taxpayer money

[Initech]

8. He thinks he's a tyrant but he is really not.

Trump supporters have a warped definition of what the president really is.

10. Kick

13. Perfect time for a toilet waste dump.

[Bengus81]

15. ANOTHER NAZI rally with Trumpanzies disguised as empty seats..........

[Maxheader]

16. The 747 is pretty impressive..

Saw Clinton take off from McConnell after his visits at a couple aircraft

companies..Passed right over me on 47th, south of the runway. The size is incredible and I experienced severe awesomeness.

Powerful plane, powerfull people...

Don't think I'd have that feeling seeing the traitors flying around .

[kimbutgar]

17. It was such a campaign photo op

Expect to see it in commercials today and the coming weeks featuring that plane over the Rushmore.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

18. Hasn't Fat Donnie soaked the taxpayer enough for his fly-over photo ops?

I've already seen the Blue Angels in one political ad. I thought that it wasn't permitted to use military equipment in political ads?

Also, what's with El Douche saluting all the time?

Other presidents held their hands over their hearts:
