Excerpts from President Donald J. Trump’s remarks at the White House Conference on American History
(as prepared)
…
Our mission is to defend the legacy of America’s Founding, the virtue of America’s heroes, and the nobility of the American Character.
…
On this very day in 1787, our Founding Fathers signed the Constitution at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It was the fulfillment of thousands of years of Western Civilization. Our Constitution was the product of centuries of tradition, wisdom, and experience. No political document has done more to advance the human condition or propel the engine of progress.
…
Yet as we gather this afternoon, a radical movement is attempting to demolish this treasured and precious inheritance.
…
The left has launched a vicious and violent assault on law enforcement – the universal symbol of the rule of law in America.
…
We are here today to declare that we will NEVER submit to tyranny. We will reclaim our history, and our country, for citizens of every race, color, religion and creed.
…
The left-wing rioting and mayhem are the direct result of decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools.
…
America’s founding set in motion the unstoppable chain of events that abolished slavery, secured civil rights, defeated communism and fascism, and built the most fair, equal and prosperous nation in human history.
…
For many years now, the radicals have mistaken Americans’ silence for weakness. But they are wrong. There is no more powerful force than a parent’s love for their children – and patriotic moms and dads are going to demand that their children are no longer fed hateful lies about this country. American parents are not going to accept indoctrination in our schools, cancel culture at work, or the repression of traditional faith, culture, and values in the public square. Not anymore.
…
Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and the crusade against American history is toxic propaganda—an ideological poison that, if not removed, will dissolve the civic bonds that tie us together.
…
The only path to national unity is through our shared identity as AMERICANS. That is why it is so urgent that we finally restore PATRIOTIC EDUCATION to our schools.
…
With the help of everyone here today, the legacy of 1776 will never be erased. Our heroes will never be forgotten. Our youth will be taught to love America with all of their heart and soul. We will save this cherished inheritance for our children, for THEIR children, and for every generation to come.
