"This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore," Trump said. Indigenous American protesters form a roadblock on the road leading to Mount Rushmore ahead of Trump's visit on Friday. Some Indigenous American groups used Trump's visit to protest the Mount Rushmore memorial itself, pointing out that the Black Hills were taken from the Lakota people. Fireworks light up the sky above Mount Rushmore for the first time in over a decade on Friday. Trump and Melania Trump plan to host events from the White House South Lawn and from the Ellipse.
