The burden will be on the people who opt to go who likely need to be there much earlier. Reports have said coolers and umbrellas will not be allowed. I assume no lawn chairs will be provided or allowed.

If his speech is long, he will be delaying the already late fireworks. He is completely messing up DC's fireworks. Not only will many miss them, many kids and dogs will be woke up by the noise.
