"Together, we will vanquish the virus, and America will rise from this crisis to new, and even greater heights," Trump said at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. “As our brave warriors have shown us from the nation’s earliest days – in America, we are the captains of our own fate. "No obstacle, no challenge, and no threat is a match for the sheer determination of the American people," Trump continued. Fort McHenry has been closed to visitors during the pandemic and Baltimore's mayor had urged Trump to forgo his planned visit amid the city’s stay-at-home order. “That President Trump is deciding to pursue nonessential travel sends the wrong message to our residents, many of whom have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 virus."
