(AP) — President Donald Trump visited North Dakota on Wednesday to see the newly built Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, a massive facility exploring the life of America’s 26th president, built in the rugged, lonely landscape where Roosevelt built his conservation values in the 1880s. During a tour of the 96,000-square-foot library and in a speech afterward, Trump spoke admiringly of Roosevelt and compared himself favorably to the former president, who he described as the embodiment of the American spirit, praising his toughness as a leader and outdoorsman. “He had a freakin’ wild life,” Trump told an audience at a Western-themed amphitheater. “He didn’t want to be quiet. He wanted to be great.” The official opening of the library on Saturday coincides with July 4th celebrations honoring the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Trump delivers rambling remarks at Theodore Roosevelt Presidential ... Jul 1, 2026 DENVER—President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum today attended the opening of theTheodore Roosevelt Presidential Libraryin Medora, North Dakota. Trumpdelivered rambling remarksthat briefly touched on aspects of Roosevelt’s legacy—conspicuously leaving out his conservation achievements. Trump and Burgum have worked to systematically dismantle Roosevelt’s conservation legacy, from attacks on the Antiquities Act, which Roosevelt signed into law, to the U.S. Forest Service, which Roosevelt created to protect America’s natural resources from commercial exploitation. The Center for Western Priorities released the following statement fromExecutive Director Aaron Weiss: “President Trump should haveheeded Teddy Roosevelt’s advicebefore delivering that rambling mess of a speech: ‘There are few beings more obnoxious than the man who is always loudly boasting.’ “Roosevelt took office during the Gilded Age when industrialists ran roughshod over America’s public lands. He worked to rein them in,warning Americathat ‘the rights of the public to the natural resources outweigh private rights, an…

Trump And Burgum To Visit North Dakota To Open Theodore Roosevelt ... Theodore Roosevelt was considered the first "conservation president" / NPS file. The decision by President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to attend the grand opening Wednesday of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota is a travesty, according to groups that maintain Trump shares nothing in common with Roosevelt. “A painfully stark contrast exists between why Teddy envisioned the need for and created a public lands legacy for our country and how Secretary Burgum has publicly stated multiple times that he views these national treasures as America's balance sheet to exploit and sell,” said Dave Brandt, a representative of the North Dakota Wildlife Federation, during a press conference Tuesday. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is a privately funded $450 million museum built on 93 acres at Medora near the south entrance to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It honors the nation’s first “conservation president,” who,during his presidency from 1901 to 1909, protected approximately 230 million acres of public land, more than any president before or since. In addition t…
