Trump makes remarks at the White House Conference on American History in observance of Constitution Day at the National Archives in Washington, DC, USA, 17 September 2020He warned attendees that 'as we gather this afternoon, a radical movement is attempting to demolish this treasured and precious inheritance.'The president tore into 'radicals' for causing 'mayhem' on the nation's streets, and sought repeatedly to tie them to his political adversaries. In a passage that sought to throw an obvious wedge at rival Joe Biden, Trump called for a new addition to his 'National Garden of American Heroes.' He said the garden, which he called for amid attacks on statues of slaveholders, confederate generals, but also other people honored in the public square – should have a new addition: Delaware signer of the Declaration of Independence Cesar Rodney. And the fact that it was dismantled dismembered, and a founding father's statue was removed,' said Trump.He unloaded on his political rival while standing just feet from the nation's most precious treasures of its intellectual history,' and told of how a centrally located statue of Rodney on horseback was taken down from Rodney Square in Wilmington this summer.
