President Trump traveling to the North Dakota Badlands yesterday, becoming the first official visitor to the newly completed Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. The president making the trip aboard the new Air Force One, taking the Qatari-donated Boeing 747 on its inaugural presidential flight. Upon his arrival in Medora, the presidential motorcade escorted across the prairie by a ceremonial troop of rough riders on horseback. The original rough riders were the volunteer cavalry regiment commanded by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War, earning lasting fame in the 1898 battle for the San Juan Heights in Cuba.
The library offering an artificial intelligence version of Roosevelt, allowing visitors to question the former president. Mr. Trump asking his digital predecessor whether the Panama Canal was his greatest accomplishment, the virtual Roosevelt taking pride in the canal while also pointing to his conservation record public health reforms and other achievements.
The president later delivering his remarks with the modern-day rough riders standing behind him, dressed in blue shirts, tan suspenders, bandanas, and Roosevelt's signature wide brimmed hats. Unlike the standard Trump rally address, the president devoting much of the speech to Roosevelt's extraordinary life and the lessons he believes it offers the country as America approaches its 250th birthday. Mr. Trump presenting Roosevelt as part of a longer American tradition, one built by men and women willing to take on challenges others considered impossible.

As America turns 250 years old, we look at this remarkable man, and we recall that with effort, determination, and drive, there is nothing that Americans of competence cannot do.
Nothing. From winning our independence to laying the railroads taming the West and planting our flag on the moon, nothing great that America has ever done has come without staggering effort, and it has never come easy.
This country was built on the conviction that just because something is hard to do, that only means that Americans try even harder and they succeed almost all the time. Because whatever the obstacle, whatever the challenge, it's no match for American grit.

President Trump then using the Roosevelt connection to celebrate a major Supreme Court victory handed down earlier this week. The US.
