Trump campaign considers displaying statues at future rallies: Sources
A potential new addition to President Trump’s future rallies: statues.
The idea has been discussed by White House and Trump campaign aides, but no final decision has been made, sources familiar with the planning told ABC News. It’s also not clear who exactly the statues would resemble, but sources say one idea was for “America’s Founding Fathers."
The potential move comes as the president continues to condemn those who are calling for the removal of controversial monuments -- a push from activists that first focused on Confederate monuments and for some has since expanded to other historical figures.
During a speech at Mount Rushmore Friday, Trump made little mention of the surge in cases in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and instead railed against the nation’s mostly peaceful protesters throughout his remarks, calling them "angry mobs," which he says pose a "growing danger." The president claimed that the goal of those who are removing "the heroes of 1776" is to "end America."
"Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children," Trump said. "Their goal is not a better America. Their goal is to end America."
