What we know:
The president received a private tour of the new museum and met more than a dozen of the living recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Trump's speech took a political tone at the beginning, while he railed against Democrats and threw his support behind Texas Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton.
The president ended his speech by signing the Hershel "Woody" Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act that was passed by Congress in August.
What they're saying:
"When he died, Woody was the last surviving recipient from World War II," Trump said. "He did one of the most dangerous jobs of war and that's operating a flamethrower."
The bipartisan legislation sets the location for the National Medal of Honor Monument on the National Mall in Washington.
Trump was also named an honorary director of the museum and received the museum's "Champion of Honor" award.
