 Tasos Katopodis/GettyFresh off an astonishingly incendiary speech at Mount Rushmore on Friday night, President Trump picked up where he left off on Saturday and took aim at the media—bizarrely claiming that journalists who call out racism somehow "slander" the entire country and all U.S. military veterans.
"To those in the media, who falsely and consistently label their opponents as racists, who condemn patriotic citizens...When you level these false charges, you not only slander me, you not only slander the American people, but you slander generations of heroes who gave their lives for America," he told the crowd gathered for the White House's Salute to America celebration.
Trump used most of his speech to dismiss the widespread anti-racism protests across the country as a leftist plot aimed at destroying the country, echoing his comments from a night earlier, when he rallied supporters against those taking part in the protests, who he described as "evil."

 Saul Loeb/AFP/GettyPresident Donald Trump devoted his Fourth of July weekend speech at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota on Friday night not to uniting the country for Independence Day, but to trying to own the libs who take issue with the Confederate statues he sees as vital to American culture.
"There is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance," Trump proclaimed to supporters who came out to see him in spite of the recent surge in coronavirus cases in the United States. "This left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution," the president said, before repeatedly going on to compare himself and his supporters to Patriots during the American Revolution—and protesters to members of the British Army.
Speaking as if preparing his political supporters for battle, he said, "Just as patriots did in centuries past, the American people will stand in their way, and we will win, and win quickly."
