United States president of Donald Trump is one of the most controversial personalities in global politics. He has now gotten back on the job with regard to the latest activity at the Washington White House, which has resulted in public negativity.

Now, thanks to the United States President, Washington became the most polluted city in the world for a brief period of time.

Residents of Washington, DC, on Sunday briefly experienced the worst air quality of any major city in the world, according to a company that ranks pollution globally. This came as the US capital city suffocated with the aftermath of a massive, 40-minute Fourth of July fireworks show, featuring President Trump.

City officials issued a Code Red Air Quality Alert, asking residents to limit time outside, with a warning that the air is unhealthy for seniors, kids, people with medical conditions and that the general public may experience health issues.

DC slipped down to No. 26 on the air quality monitoring platform, IQAir, by 5:30 p.m. ET Sunday.

The fireworks show, organized by Freedom 250, a Trump-backed nonprofit tasked with putting on a series of semiquincentennial events, came as Washington suffered under an extreme heat wave.

The fact that the United States president played a crucial role in his own city facing such an extreme issue with his presence has started to grab the negative attention now.
