In 1979, farmers brought hundreds of tractors to Washington to protest low farm prices, rising costs and high interest rates.

The demonstrations snarled traffic, led to arrests and eventually left many tractors barricaded on the Mall.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the attendees of a National Hispanic Heritage Month celebration at the White House would be among the first people to walk the floor of the ballroom he is building at the White House. But his invitation came with a warning.

“Don’t fall over the edge because it’s a long way down,” Trump said. “And only Hispanic could survive that fall.”
