We&#8217;re not going to let communists get in our way. We&#8217;re not going to let anyone get in our way.  Not the communists. It&#8217;s a very unattractive lot. They&#8217;re not going to do it. They&#8217;re not doing anything. Those people, what they&#8217;re doing, it&#8217;s so stupid.

His heart beat with an unyielding sense of America&#8217;s destiny and pride, and that pride was bigger.  The biggest word for him, I think, was pride. He was a proud man. But I&#8217;m a proud man. I&#8217;m proud of our country. I&#8217;m proud that two years ago, we had a country that was a laughingstock all over the world, and now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world, the most respected country anywhere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/07\/01\/trump_praises_theodore_roosevelt_he_was_a_great_he-man_an_american_man_through_and_through.html\">RealClearPolitics Videos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump addresses communism during a speech at the opening ceremony of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library on Wednesday. &#8220;There could be no better place to begin this rediscovery than with the life and times and passions of Theodore Roosevelt,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;He had great passion.
