President Trump delivered an eyebrow-raising remark on Wednesday afternoon, joking that he would like to have a 'threesome' with his grown sons by awarding them and himself the Congressional Medal of Honor.

'As I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think I'm going to give one to myself and one to them. We'll have a threesome. I'll pick out one of the two. I'll give them the congressional medal of honor for something,' Trump remarked, mentioning prior that his teleprompters were not working.

The remarks came as the President traveled to North Dakota to tour and speak at the dedication ceremony for the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, which officially opens to the public on Independence Day.

While discussing the legacy of the 26th President and the historic father-son duo of Arthur and Douglas MacArthur, who both received the nation's highest military award for courage, Trump turned his attention to his own family in the audience.

Riffing on genetics, Trump praised the Roosevelt and MacArthur bloodlines before looking out at his own sons and delivering the colorful, off-the-cuff monologue.

'I'll get one for taking on Russia, Russia, Russia or something. We'll have a third pair. No, I'm only kidding... this is is dangerous to say because the fake news is up there. They're all over the place. When I joke, I always, I learned earlier, don't be sarcastic in politics.'

The remarks drew laughter from the crowd, though his unusual use of the word 'threesome' to describe a trio of family medal recipients immediately sparked chatter. 

During the ribbon-cutting festivities at the brand-new Roosevelt library, Trump lavished praise on the 26th President, describing him as ‘a man who I have long admired,’ particularly for his monumental achievement in completing the Panama Canal.

The historical reflection quickly veered into a geopolitical warning, however, as Trump fired off an impromptu jab at Beijing.

‘Now China is trying to take over the Panama Canal, and we’re not going to let that happen. OK, and that was not part of the script, because I don’t really have a script,’ Trump told the crowd.

The 47th President also said that he had already discussed the iconic Central American waterway directly with Roosevelt himself - by conversing with the high-tech artificial intelligence hologram of the late leader featured inside the state-of-the-art facility.

Shifting gears to his upcoming Independence Day plans, Trump teased his highly anticipated July 4th address on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Brushing off the sweltering heat wave set to bake the capital, he promised an endurance test.

‘By the way, on July 4th it’s going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I’m going to go and I’m going to make a really long speech, just to show that I can do anything,’ Trump boasted.

He compared the upcoming summer scorcher to his 80th birthday celebrations just weeks earlier on June 14, noting that a UFC fight hosted on the White House South Lawn went ahead victoriously despite gloomy forecasts threatening rain in the hours leading up to the main event.

The North Dakota trip was already a highly anticipated and historic event for the administration, serving as the inaugural flight of the newly minted Air Force One jet.

The state-of-the-art aircraft, gifted to the United States by Qatar, was rolled out as part of the administration’s ongoing, grand celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary.

The new Roosevelt facility is expected to draw massive crowds when it formally throws open its doors on July 4th, perfectly timing the 26th President's American legacy with the nation's semiquincentennial celebrations.
