who sympathized with the Ku Klux Klan. The majestic monument — a testament to human tenacity — scars land considered sacred by Native Americans.But the president is not a man of complexity and nuance. He is a man who sees things in gloriously righteous white and suspicious, dangerous black. For him, Mount Rushmore is not complicated. It’s telegenic. His was not an open-armed celebration of American independence and the country’s raucous striving to fulfill its promise.
He arrived in dramatic fashion. First, Air Force One flew over Mount Rushmore in a theatrical flourish. When the president’s plane landed, he was greeted by South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem, who’s said that, on her watch, there would be no social distancing at this massive gathering taking place amid a worsening pandemic.
Trump derided “social justice.” He referenced Martin Luther King, Jr., whose words have been so repeated, so decontextualized by errant politicians, that they’ve become rhetorical armor. Everyone claims King. Some stand on his shoulders; some hide behind him.Trump awkwardly read through what might best be described as Wikipedia entries on the four presidents depicted on Mount Rushmore: Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.
SethAbramson And tax payers paid for this rally?
One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn't belong, Can you tell which thing is not like the others By the time I finish my song?
Seems unlikely ant generation going forward will be inclined to carve this dick brains' image into the rock face as well. If at all, maybe they should carve it somewhere that has a lot of landslides so it could be 'now you see him, now you don't!'
A very great man and President spoke before the statues of our four greatest presidents. As I heard him speak I reflected on how much abuse he has taken from twisted, dark-motivated people & institutions, how hard he has worked for our country & its citizens, and it was sobering.
SethAbramson Best president since Reagan. Haha.
The fireworks were from 2016 that Hillary pre-ordered and couldn’t use after her MASSIVE LOSS.
Read some posts from the right. Wow ! Calling him the most patriotic American and man of God.
FAKE NEWS!
SethAbramson Remove that picture
He also got this news . . .
SethAbramson Petty
SethAbramson 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Most amazing piece of reporting I've ever read. Well done!
Yawn
And how much did this self-admiration show cost the US taxpayer?
WaPo in damage control mode
Trump’s victory speech! God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It is fiction to people with their head up their ass.
Not in the same ballpark 45!!
SethAbramson Shoulda stuck to how gaudy she probably thinks it is. Identical to Trump in being vapid. Where does Givhan stand on the proposed razing of an American icon and the revisionism 'Anti-racism' is going through on the left? Nowhere. Just bitter, jealous
Hot take
SethAbramson Wow great speech! And people said Trump couldn’t unite us. My favorite line was: “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds.”
SethAbramson And he got a spray tan. 🙄🤡💩
Trump to retire: too old to respond to electoral fields
Welcome to Trumplandia!

WaPo proves yet again they're the Enemy of the American People. F You.
Black lives matter is Trust The abuse of power is against it.
