Trump to Honor Theodore Roosevelt

“President Donald Trump isn’t exactly the outdoorsman and conservationist that was Theodore Roosevelt, a hunting, wilderness-loving president who preserved hundreds of millions of acres of public land and, in his final years, led a jungle expedition to the Amazon,” the Washington Post reports.

“Yet the White House wants Americans to know that the two New York natives — one the leader of the Rough Riders volunteer cavalry, the other who spent most of his adult life seated behind desks and in limousines — have plenty in common.”

“On Wednesday, Trump is scheduled to fly to Bismarck and from there travel to remote Medora, North Dakota, to open Roosevelt’s presidential library, a project that has been in the works for years at the site of the national park bearing the 26th president’s name.”
