During a dedication ceremony for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota, on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump praised the 26th president’s legacy and presented the Medal of Honor awarded to Roosevelt as a gift for the new facility. Trump, introduced by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, spoke at the Burning Hills Amphitheatre as part of the Freedom 250 celebration, calling Roosevelt a transformative figure who reshaped the nation through his ambitions and determination. The event marked Trump’s third visit as president to North Dakota, where Roosevelt credited his time in the Badlands with shaping his path to the White House. Meanwhile, a small group from the North Dakota Public Lands Coalition protested nearby, arguing the current administration’s land policies contradict Roosevelt’s conservation record.
