President Donald Trump addressed a crowd at Mount Rushmore on July 4 as part of events marking the United States’ 250th anniversary. He spoke for approximately 30 minutes. During the remarks, F-16 jets conducted a flyover of the site.
Trump stated: “You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. ” He urged Congress to end the filibuster and pass the Save America Act, stating that the legislation would prevent his party from losing an election for 100 years.
The event occurred at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota’s Black Hills. The U.S. government took control of the land from the Sioux Nation in 1877 after Congress required the tribe to cede territory that had been guaranteed by an earlier treaty.
Trump is scheduled to speak again on July 5 at the National Mall ahead of a fireworks display. A heatwave is affecting Independence Day events in multiple regions. His approval ratings remain near historic lows.
The New York City mayor delivered remarks hours earlier that supported immigration policies. In recent days, four progressive candidates, including three who identify as democratic socialists, won Democratic primary contests in New York, Colorado, and other states.
