## Resource

Trump electrified a stormy Mount Rushmore crowd with fiery warnings that communism poses a greater threat to America than any past war, tying it to Democratic socialist gains while clarifying their democratic approach versus communist doctrine. He pivoted to midterms, demanding GOP voters rally behind ending the filibuster and passing his SAVE America Act—requiring citizenship proof and voter ID—to secure a century of Republican control, directly clashing with Senate Majority Leader Thune. His refusal to sign a housing bill until the SAVE Act passes underscores his leverage. Meanwhile, the event’s fireworks—costing $700K and sparking environmental and tribal backlash—rolled on amid lightning, turning a historic anniversary into a spectacle of controversy and political theater.
