All aboard the Trump train.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday emerged from a rail coach painted specially for America’s 250th birthday bash, with both arms spread, as the awaiting crowd in Medora, N.D., cheered his arrival.
Moments later, as a pack of Theodore Roosevelt-era “Rough Rider” enactors on horseback escorted Trump’s motorcade to the dedication of Theodore Roosevelt’s presidential library, it could not be more clear the 47th president was more than 1,600 miles from Washington.
And all indications suggested he was relishing it.
Trump’s attention in recent weeks has drifted from legislative matters to the spectacle he intends to put on around America’s 250th birthday, even as House Republicans melted down this week and left town in a huff. Congressional Democrats say the president should celebrate less and work harder to calm economic pressure points they say he created.
