President Donald Trump’s speech before a crowd at Mount Rushmore ahead of the United States’ 250th birthday spoke of a "breed of citizen" as well as discussed what Trump described as American culture.
"This was the spirit that demanded freedom and this was the culture that built America and carved its heroes into Mount Rushmore," Trump said. "For generations, it was understood that the core of patriotic duty of every American was to pass this culture onto our children and to preserve the nation for centuries and centuries to come."
Trump went onto to claim there have attempts in recent years to erode what he called "American exceptionalism."
