At Mount Rushmore, Trump Quips “We Gave Iran a Week Off” Amid Tensions

During his America 250 address at Mount Rushmore, President Trump claimed the US “gave Iran a week off” in the midst of escalating tensions with Tehran. He made the remark while noting Iran’s leadership was observing national mourning for their late Supreme Leader. Iran marked six days of state funerals for Ali Khamenei, with state media reporting millions attending ceremonies across Tehran and other cities under tight security. Trump’s comment—“we’re nice”—drew attention against this backdrop of regional conflict. The speech focused largely on American power and pride, calling the United States “the most powerful country on Earth” and highlighting historical milestones ahead of Independence Day. His brief foreign policy references served to underscore national strength rather than outline new diplomatic moves.
