President Donald Trump is traveling to North Dakota on Wednesday (July 1) to dedicate a museum honoring Theodore Roosevelt, invoking the Republican president's legacy as he promotes a message of American greatness ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.

The visit comes as Trump has embraced celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, using them to highlight his leadership and vision for the country ahead of November's midterm elections.

The trip to Medora in western North Dakota also marks the debut of a refurbished Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar that will serve as Air Force One, featuring a red, white, dark blue and gold paint scheme selected by Trump.

4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYING:

"So, this will be the first flight of what I think is maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built. I said to Boeing, what's the best one? They said, this is the best plane ever build, and you're going to have the privilege of flying it. And I have a privilege also of flying it, but this is first flight. We're going into the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library opening, and that'll be very good. That'll be a lot of fun. But I think, you know, to be honest with you, I'm excited about the first flight. It's something nobody has ever seen anything like it. Even you people, with all your experience and all of your talent, you will never see anything like this. So they just completed it. They made it appropriate for a president. That means the security and all the different bells and whistles they put on. Very complex stuff, but it's really quite something. This is a plane that the United States of America should have. Our Air Force One was 35, 36 years old, and it would be parked next to the new ones like this, and it really didn't look appropriate for our country. So we're very proud of this. The country is very proud of it."
