Faced with a public health crisis spiraling further out of control as a result of his own governing failures, a maskless President Donald Trump ranted against the “left-wing mob,” “far-left fascism” and “cancel culture” in a disjointed speech delivered at an Independence Day celebration held at Mount Rushmore National Memorial on Friday night.

“Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to defame our history,” Trump told a cheering crowd, most of whom also appeared to not be wearing masks.

“Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders ... and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities,” he added.

Trump was referring to protesters who, as part of a national uprising for racial justice, have defaced and removed Confederate monuments and symbols.

He vowed to crack down on “this attack on our liberty” by enforcing a federal law to “arrest the rioters,” reiterating his earlier promise to imprison anyone who vandalizes such monuments for up to 10 years.

“There is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance,” he said. “This left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolution.”

Yet, facial coverings, which can help mitigate the spread of the disease were a rare sight at the event. None of Trump’s entourage, including First Lady Melania Trump and his son Eric Trump, were seen wearing a mask.

Earlier on Friday, dozens of protesters, most of them Native Americans, blocked a main road leading to Mount Rushmore. About 15 of them were arrested after refusing to heed police warnings to disperse.

Demonstrators, holding signs that read “This Is Stolen Land” and “Protect SoDak’s First People,” said they were insulted by Trump’s decision to hold the celebratory event at the massive sculpture, which was erected in the Black Hills on land taken from the Lakota people.

SORRY. WRONG ANSWER.

SOME tribes were NOMADIC but many tribes were anything BUT nomads. = SOME NA towns were CENTURIES old.

Fyi, it was the American Indian that “invented” the log cabin & taught the new immigrants how to build one.

Woodland tribes (like the one that I belong to) often provided the immigrants enough food to survive the Winter & even the whole next year until a crop could be “gotten in”. Indians taught the “gentlemen of the better class how to fish, how to hunt for the native game & the best ways to start a farm.
(The vast majority of the first groups of Europeans were NOT either “working class”, stockmen or farmers. Instead, most were “wealthy gentlemen of the better class”, who were unable to feed themselves until farmworkers & skilled craftsmen were “imported from Europe”.)

NA also “invented” the COONSKIN CAP, that people identify with Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett & other frontiersmen.

Also, by accident NA discovered that chewing up/swallowing the inner bark of willow trees would relieve pain. = That substance is today called: ASPIRIN.

Perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT thing that the Amer-Indians taught the Europeans was to eat quantities of plums/prunes to treat CHRONIC CONSTIPATION & SCURVY.
(Prior to the mid-18th Century, the several effects of chronic constipation & scurvy caused the death of many a European person.)
