I'm so man.
When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside
You gotta take a stand, it don't have to hide
If you hurt my friends, then you hurt my right
I gotta be a man, I can't let it slide
I am a real American
Fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
Fight for the rights of every man
Let me tell you something brother
You know something when I came here tonight
There was so much energy in this room
I felt maybe I was in Madison Square Garden
Getting ready to win another world title
Or maybe I'd fight
The vibe was so intense, the energy was so crazy
It felt like maybe I was gonna press that no good sticky giant over my head
And slam him through the mat brother
But what I found out was I was in a room for a real American's brother
And at the end of the day, with our leader up there, my hero, that gladiator
We're gonna bring America back together
One real American at a time brother
You know something, I've seen some great tag teams in my time
Hulk Hogan and oh yeah, the macho man Randy Savage
But you know something?
I see the greatest tag team of my life standing upon us
Getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real Americans
You know even though you guys are real Americans, you better get ready
Because when Donald J. Trump becomes the President of the United States
All the real Americans are gonna be nicknamed Trumpites
Because all the Trumpites are gonna be running wild for four years
So with the power of Donald J. Trump in all the Trumpites running wild
America is gonna get back on track and like Donald J. Trump said, America is gonna be great again
You know when I look out and I see all the real Americans, I think about how Donald Trump, his family was compromised
When I look out there and I see Donald Trump, I think about how his business was compromised
But what happened last week when they took a shot at my hero
And they tried to kill the next President of the United States
Enough was enough and I said, let Trumpomania run wild brother
Let Trumpomania rule again, let Trumpomania make America great again
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!
You know something Trumpites, I didn't come here as Hulk Hogan, but I just had to give you a little taste
You know, my name is Terry Bolea, and as an entertainer, I love you too.
And as an entertainer, I tried to stay out of politics.
But after everything that's happened to our country over the past four years, and everything
that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent.
I'm here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a real American
hero, and I'm proud to support my hero as the next president of this United States.
You know, guys, I've known Donald Trump for over 35 years.
You know, hold on a second, hold on, I just had a flashback.
I just had a flashback, man.
This is really tripping.
You know, the last time I was up on stage, Donald Trump was sitting at ringside at the
Trump Plaza.
I was bleeding like a pig, and I won the world title right in front of Donald J. Trump.
And you know something he's going to win in November, and we're all going to be champions
again when he wins.
And like I said, I've known that man for over 35 years, and he's always been the biggest
patriot, and he still is.
He's always told you exactly what he thought, and he still does, brother.
And no matter the odds, he always finds a way to win.
And when he's back in our White House, America is going to start winning again.
You know, guys, over my career.
I've been in the rain with some of the baddest dudes on the planet, and I've squared off
against warriors, woo, yes, savages, and I've even, like I said, bodyslam giants in
the middle of the rain.
And I know tough guys, but let me tell you something, brother, Donald Trump is the toughest
of them all.
They've thrown everything at Donald Trump, all the investigations, the impeachments,
the court cases, and he's still standing and kicking their butts.
You know, we never had it better than the Trump years.
Back then, we had a thriving economy.
We had strong borders.
We had safe streets.
We had peace and respect around the world.
But then we lost it all in a blink of an eye.
Crime is out of control.
The border is out of control.
The price of food and gas and housing is out of control.
And the only person who can clean this up is Donald Trump.
You know, guys, I really, really love this country, and I've lived the American dream.
And I want my kids, your kids, and all those little teeny hulkamaniacs out there to live
the American dream, too.
This November, guys, we can save the American dream for everyone.
And Donald Trump is the president who will get the job done.
So all you criminals, all you low-lives, all you scumbags, all you drug dealers, and all
you crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother.
What you're going to do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you,
and that's what you're going to do.
God bless you, and thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association and president of Samaritan's Purse, the Reverend Franklin Graham.
Good evening.
I've got the hardest job and I'd have to follow hulk, Hogan.
But I stand here tonight as a private citizen who loves this country.
I've been asked to say a few words and then to pray, and we're going to do that.
That's Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump had a near-death experience.
No question.
But God spared his life, and when we go through those experiences, it changes us.
He calls us to examine our lives and to reevaluate our priorities, as you should.
When President Trump rose from that platform, he rose with his fist raised in strength,
showing America his unshakeable resolve to fight for them in this nation.
I cannot explain why God would save one life and allow another one to be taken.
I don't have the answer for that, but one thing I do know is that God loves us, and
he wants us to be with him in heaven one day.
And that's through faith in his son, Jesus Christ.
You see, the Bible says that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
that whosoever believed in him shouldn't perish but should have everlasting life.
For as long as I've known the President Trump, I've found him to be a man of his word.
Things that he said he'll do, he did.
When he told me in our country in 2016 that he was going to appoint conservative justices,
what?
He did.
In 2016, he said he would defend religious liberty, and guess what?
He did.
In 2019, I was with him at the United Nations when the first president of history of this
country stood there to advocate for religious liberty worldwide.
When American citizen and pastor Andrew Brunson was being held in a Turkish jail on false
accusations, President Trump demanded that he be released, and he replied economic pressure
and sanctions until they did that.
I'm grateful and thankful for what he did as the 45th president of the United States.
And I know that as the 47th president, he will keep his word to the American people to make
America great once again.
It's an honor for me to be asked to pray for Donald Trump this evening.
And so what I'd like to do, I'd like us to pray, but I'd like us all to stand as we
call upon the name of the God of heaven.
Our Heavenly Father, we come before you this evening with grateful hearts.
Thank you for saving the life of President Donald J. Trump.
In his own words, it was you and you alone who saved him.
We pray for the others that were injured on Saturday, for the family who lost their loved
one.
Put your loving arms around them, comfort them, and may they sense your presence.
We stand before you tonight.
We say thank you for the provisions you have given to the United States of America.
You have blessed this country more than any country in the world.
Sadly, as a nation, we are forgotten who is responsible for all the freedoms, the liberties
and the bounty that we enjoy.
It has all come for you.
Thank you.
This evening, our nation is in trouble.
We're divided politically, racially, economically with millions of people seeking refuge and
hope in our dry and thirsty land.
You're the only one who can fix the complexity of the problems that we face today.
We pray for President Trump that you would give him wisdom, strength, and a clear vision
for the future of this nation.
And the task that is at hand, continue to protect him from his enemies.
I pray that you would surround him with men and women who will give him sound counsel
and guidance.
We pray for Melania, for Barron, and for all the President Trump's children and grandchildren.
We pray for Senator J.D. Vance, his wife, Usa, along with their young family.
We're thankful for his strong stand for defending life.
As your word instructs, we also pray for the leaders of our nation.
Whether the Republican, Democrat, or independent, we know that all authority comes from you.
You are a great God, and we ask that if it be thy will that you will make America great
once again.
And we ask that you'll unite our hearts, bring us together, one nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
And we pray this in the mighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the King of
Kings and the Lord of Lords, amen.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome businessman and executive vice president of the Trump
Organization, Eric Trump.
Good evening America!
Eight years ago, my father sat our family down.
He spoke of a nation in decline, of dreams slipping away, of a future endangered by failed
leadership and broken promises.
It was in that moment I knew my father had made a decision that would forever change
our lives.
We realized he had chosen to step into the arena, to fight for the soul of America.
He had decided to leave behind the comforts of an unbelievable business empire, to leave
behind everything he had ever built, to answer the call to serve our nation.
Unlike his predecessor, it was not a decision born out of necessity.
Unlike the current president, it was not a decision that would enrich his family.
Rather his decision made a love for this country and a deep concern for America's future.
My father was clear it would not be easy, that there would be a huge price to pay and
that the attacks would be vicious.
Looking back, that was an understatement.
The made-up Russia hoax, the sham impeachments, the efforts to destroy an unbelievable company,
a company that I run today, the efforts to cancel us, to silence him, to gag his free
speech, and to drag him through every radical left courthouse in America, to take his life.
Yet through it all, he has shown unwavering courage and determination, not just in public,
but in every private conversation with me and our family.
We stood tall, fueled not by personal ambition, but by a profound love for this country,
and a love for all of you, the American people.
That man is my father, that man is the 45th president, and soon to be 47th president of
the United States.
That man is Donald J. Trump.
Each time I've stood on this stage, America has been a dire crossroads.
In 2016, many people began to doubt the promise of America.
Our economy was struggling, jobs were scarce, our standing on the world stage was weak at
best, veterans were forgotten, our military was in shambles, our educational system was
broken, ranked 30th in the world.
He could no longer tolerate an inept administration that handed $150 billion in Iran, a country
that chants death to America, or witness and continue to tax on our Constitution and our
religious liberty, or see the disrespect shown to our unbelievable law enforcement officers
who are being disarmed, defunded, and persecuted each and every day.
He could no longer stand to see words like Christmas stripped from public use, or the
Pledge of Allegiance removed from our schools.
But my father saw potential where others saw despair.
Donald Trump built the New York City skyline.
He did so during a time when businesses were turning away from the city he loved.
Crime was rampant.
The streets were dirty, but he had the mightiest touch, and he turned those streets and
neighborhoods into gold.
He faced every challenge with tremendous vision and grit.
As he did during the 2016 election, he rolled up his sleeves, he remained unapologetic.
He did not care to be politically correct.
He restored hope.
He restored a voice to millions of Americans who had been ignored.
He restored the American dream.
Under my father's leadership, the economy climbed to record heights.
Jobs were created at an unthinkable pace.
Employment reached historic lows across all demographics.
Wage growth soared.
He cut taxes for hard-working families and businesses.
He slashed regulations.
We saw the greatest 401k increase in American history.
People bought their first homes in an environment that saw 2-3% interest rates.
He started their families.
My father made the United States energy independent with the lowest gas prices in decades.
My father made the United States safe.
Our borders were closed.
There was peace in the Middle East.
Soleimani al-Baghdadi, the terrorists, were dead.
My father made the United States respected again, with the courage to walk into countries
like North Korea, with the courage to impose tariffs on China, and with the courage to
tear up trade deals that cost Americans their jobs.
He brought manufacturing back to America.
Small businesses flourished.
He did what he promised.
He put America first.
We were winning.
Donald Trump made America great again.
But he also created a movement.
A movement that threatened the special interests in the political elites.
A movement that cast a bright light on the institutions weaponized against the American
people.
You see it in our schools.
God bless the moms you fought back.
You see it in your workplace.
You see it on every news station, in every newspaper.
You see it in the military, the most iconic military installations on planet Earth, are
stripped of their identity and renamed.
Fort Bragg, Benning, Fort Hood.
You see it in Hollywood.
You see it in our two-tier judicial system.
They don't even hide it anymore.
My father has been censored.
The former president ripped off to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, while terrorist organizations
remain intact.
My father has been persecuted, targeted by far-left Democrats, funded by special interest groups,
and hand-picked judges.
My father has been pulled off the ballot of states, radical justices attempting to defy
the will of millions of Americans who adore who he is and what he stands for.
My father even became the target of an assassin who almost killed America's single greatest
hope for our future.
The swamp is terrified of this incredible movement.
They're terrified of it.
They're terrified of you and the tens of millions of people watching us on TV right
now.
They've tried everything to keep him from you, everything, to destroy his legacy, to destroy
his family.
They have failed and they will not win.
I love my Florida delegation right here.
My father stands before you with the most votes of any Republican candidate in the history
of our nation.
He has defied the predictions of every political pundit.
He fills stadiums across our country.
He energizes Americans to the issues facing this nation and does so with unvarnished honesty.
He is not a threat to democracy.
He is a threat to those who despise our republic, many whom are bought and sold, bribed and
coerced, people who have never signed the front of a check and who have been dependent
on the government of their entire adult lives.
Today as it was in 2016, America is at that crossroads again.
Energy prices are soaring, interest rates are crippling, everything is unaffordable.
The US dollar has been diminished, inflation has made it impossible for Americans to live
to save for their future.
Our infrastructure is crumbling, our border is out of control, millions are dead and displaced
in Russia and Ukraine, a war that has no end and a war that we are funding.
The Middle East has become a hornet's nest.
Our greatest ally is real, totally under siege.
Fentanyl is killing our youth and destroying families while the current administration stands
idly by hoping their inaction will import illegal votes.
Time terrorizes our cities and suburbs as far-left policies handcuff police.
Male athletes, guys my height, 6'5", are swimming in women's sports.
Destroying the dreams of young girls who have trained every minute of their lives.
We no longer trust our elections, we no longer trust our judicial system, and we no longer
believe that our government is working in our best interest.
In spite of where we are today as a nation, I'd like to speak to every American.
To the homeless veteran, sleeping under a bridge as illegal immigrants are housed in
the most expensive hotels in New York.
I'm sorry, we know it's wrong and we will fix it.
To the single mother who can no longer afford her rent, afford groceries, and has been forced
to work three jobs, I'm sorry, it does not have to be this way.
To the parents who lost a son or daughter to fentanyl, including the incredible woman
that spoke the other night, while an administration does absolutely nothing, I'm sorry, your
government can do so much better, and it will.
To the children who are being brainwashed instead of learning the fundamentals of school, I'm
sorry, there are teachers who care and my father will empower them.
To the law enforcement officers, our brave board patrol, secret service agents who work
every single day to protect our communities, knowing damn well that the system will throw
you under the bus, I'm sorry, we will stand behind you.
To commuters often petrified to take a bus, take a train, or walk the streets in cities
across our nation, I'm sorry, that man right there will fix this.
To the construction workers, to the middle class families, to the families with children
with disabilities, families who can no longer afford medical benefits or to take a vacation,
I'm sorry, we will make America great again.
To my father, who has been ruthlessly silenced, slandered, and attacked by a corrupt administration,
I'm sorry, we know and America knows that they're not just after you, they're after
you, to all Americans watching tonight, the greatest retribution will be our success.
Success not just for ourselves, but for our grandchildren and our children.
Under President Donald J. Trump, the swamp will be drained, America will be respected,
our cities will be safe, our streets will be clean, and our border will once again be
secure.
We will have peace, we will have prosperity, your hard-earned tax dollars will enrich
a better America, not be squandered in corrupt foreign nations, education will be handed
back to the states, we will no longer be thirtieth in the world, we will be first.
Our children will understand family, our children will have values, and our children
will love God.
Our country will prioritize free speech, respect freedom of religion, and honor our
Constitution.
As his son, I've never been more proud of a person in my life.
A man who has defied all odds more than once.
A man who believed in the promise of America when others turned away.
A man who saw a nation in need of a champion.
An answer to that call with unwavering determination and courage.
A man who survived a bullet that was intended to eliminate him permanently from our future
and from our family.
Never have I been more proud to be a Trump.
Never have I been more proud to stand by my father's side.
I remain incredibly honored to be part of this journey, a journey with all of you.
A journey to save the greatest country on earth.
A journey with the most incredible people I have ever met.
Dad, five days ago, Laura, Luke, Carolina, and I held our breath as we saw blood pour
across your face.
By the grace of God, divine intervention, and your guardian angels above, you survived.
You are the greatest fighter I have ever seen.
You are strong, you are full of life, and you are unapologetic.
Your optimism is contagious, your backbone is unbreakable, your conviction to fight for
what is right, and against all that is wrong is truly next level.
The whole world saw your strength as you stood up.
You wiped the blood off your face, and you put your fist in the air in a moment that
will be remembered as one of the most courageous acts in the history of American politics.
You shouted, fight, fight, fight.
I'm honored to be your son.
I'm honored to speak to our great nation tonight.
You are a true leader.
You epitomize strength.
Our country loves you.
Our country appreciates you.
Our country misses you, and on November 5th, our country will re-elect you as a 47th president
of the United States of America.
Good night, Milwaukee.
God bless you all.
God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you.
God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless
you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless
you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you
God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you
God bless you, God bless you
God bless you
Ladies and gentlemen, the next First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Melania Trump
Thank you
This is a story as uniquely American as the ideals and freedoms we all cherish
The story of a life dedicated to dreaming big, a story about giving back to the people in his beloved city, but most of all, this is a story about putting his country first, and it's a story that's told in pictures
Young and confident, Donald Trump wasn't afraid to think big and build even bigger and he left his mark on the New York skyline that greeted visitors from around the world, but he wasn't just an American entrepreneur, he became a folk hero
The celebrities and sports stars wanted to be seen with him, politicians sought his approval, and New Yorkers just loved him, and he loved them back, and he gave back, just one example, saving the woman's skating rink
The woman's skating rink in Central Park is open again, the city spent nearly six years and $12 million trying to fix it, and then to the rescue developer Donald Trump, as Tracy Egan tells us now he accomplished in three and a half months with the city couldn't do in six years
Donald, you perform a great public service
There was no denying that Donald Trump was the toast of the town, but he was also something even more important, a patriotic American, and like many others, he was becoming increasingly troubled by the direction of our country
Because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country, how we're really making other people live like kings, and we're not
You've said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win
Well, I don't know, I think I'd win, I'd tell you what, I wouldn't go in to lose, I've never gone in to lose in my life, and if I did decide to do it, I think I'd be inclined
I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning, because I think people, I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off
But who would ever run for president and leave such a glamorous life?
Appearances in movies, they're selling books, a widely popular TV show
But for Donald J. Trump, the calling to save his country was even stronger
The mission, more important, the number of Americans being left behind, too large, and so, in Donald Trump fashion, he announced he was running for president
In it to win, and he did
From his first day in office, the Washington politicians learned something about President Trump
He's not afraid to fight for what he believes in, they call that having the courage of your convictions
First up, the Trump tax cuts, largest in America's history, and it led to higher take home pay for working families
Unfortunately, today, taxes are up, and incomes down, the politicians just never learn
Next for President Trump, secure our border, check, miles and miles of wall built
ISIS and other terrorists deterred
But now, we have the Barney Fife of border security
Leading to a quarter of a million Americans dead from fentanyl coming in
Brutal migrant crimes spreading across America
And ISIS, now here
President Trump promised he'd keep America out of endless wars
Welcome words to the families of our young men and women who serve
And another promise kept
He started by strengthening our military, then traveled the world, meeting with our allies
And, even with our main adversaries
Just so they understood that America's strength and resolve was back
Because that's what a strong commander-in-chief does
And it led to a stable world at peace, and our troops safe
Today, a different story, our enemies smelled weakness
Then set the world on fire, Putin saw it, then invaded Ukraine
Hamas saw it, then started a war in the Middle East
There's one more thing we've learned about President Trump
He believes so strongly in America, so optimistic for our possibilities
And so committed to fighting to once again make our country great
That there is nothing that is going to stop him
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! Illegal boys

My brother, Daniel White
God bless America
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
I am Daniel White
I am the CEO and President
of the Ultimate Fighting
Championship
So two weeks ago I got a call
from President Trump
asking me if I be willing to speak
tonight
As usual, there was no pressure
no demands
He asked me as a friend
and of course I said yes
Then, after I accepted
his offer
he sent me a text message
and I just want to read to you
a little piece of what
President Trump wrote to me
Dana, I'm so honored
that you will be doing the
introduction at the
National Republican Convention
Think of it as the biggest
fight you ever had
A fight for our country
and even the world
I only wish you didn't have
to interrupt your family trip
but I hope they understand
they love you and they know
how important this is
Now think about this
This man's running for President
of the United States
He's fighting for the future of
this country and he's concerned
about interrupting my family trip
That's the President Trump
that I know
who truly cares about people
The mainstream media likes
to push the narrative that
he doesn't care about anyone but
himself
I absolutely know that's not the truth
because I've been friends with this guy
for 25 years
and for the people who know me
don't know this is true
I just want to make something very clear
Nobody in the Trump campaign
has ever told me what to say
Nobody tells me what to say
and I'm nobody's puppet
And I'm not telling you what to think
I'm telling you what I know
and I know President Trump
I know President Trump as a fighter
I've been saying this since 2015
Now look at what's happened over the last
ten years
We have all seen it with our own eyes
I'm in the tough guy business
and this man is the toughest
most resilient human being
that I've ever met in my life
The higher the stakes
the harder he fights
and this guy never ever gives up
So what's at stake here?
The answer is in President Trump's text
and I quote
A fight for our country
I know why he's running for President again
Why else would he put himself
through everything he's dealt with
just to get back here
We all know he doesn't need this
This guy's got a great life
He has a beautiful family
and he has achieved everything
that you could possibly achieve in life
I know President Trump
is literally putting his life on the line
for something bigger than himself
and he's willing to risk it all
because he loves this country
And I know he wants what's best
for the American people
All American people
I know he's running for President
to save our American dream
I'm living the American dream
and I know the American dream is very real
Whether you were born in this country
or came here from someplace else
This is the last real land of opportunity
President Reagan once said
Government's first duty
is to protect the people
Not run their lives
And if you're buried in government red tape
How will you ever start your own business?
If you're struggling to pay your bills
How can you ever afford to start a family?
And if you don't feel safe in your own town
Why would you ever buy a house?
I know the President Trump
is fighting to save the American dream
and that puts its stake in this election
We are choosing who we want to lead us in this fight
I know President Trump is a proven leader
a fearless leader
and this country was in a much better place
when he was in the Oval Office
In my mind the choice is clear
but this election we all get to choose
I know I'm going to choose strength and security
I know I'm going to choose opportunity and prosperity
I know I'm going to choose real American leadership
and a real American badass
And I'm not telling you what choice to make
and I'm not telling you what to think
I'm telling you what I know
I know America needs a strong leader
and the world needs a strong America
I know Donald J. Trump is the best choice
for President of the United States
My fellow Americans
it is my honor to introduce the 45th
and soon to be 47th President of the United States
Donald J. Trump
Thank you
My life
and I had to start again
just my children and my wife
thank my lucky stars
to be living here today
because our flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away
and I'm proud to be an American
where in least I know I'm free
and I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me
and I glad they stand up next to you
and defend her still today
because there ain't no doubt
I love this land singing
God bless the United States
From the lakes in Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee
across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea
from Detroit to Houston
and New York to L.A.
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time to stand and say
that I'm proud to be an American
where in least I know I'm free
and I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me
and I glad they stand up next to you
and defend her still today
because there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God bless the United States
I'm proud to be an American
where in least I know I'm free
and I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me
and I glad they stand up next to you
and defend her still today
but there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God bless the United States
Thank you very much
Thank you very very much, wow
God bless the United States
Thank you very much
Thank you very very much
Thank you very very much, wow
And thank you Dana
Thank you Kid Rock, sometimes
referred to as Bob
And thank you Lee, right from the beginning
Thank you very much, what a talent, what a beautiful, beautiful song
Thank you
Friends, delegates, and fellow citizens
I stand before you this evening with a message
of confidence, strength, and hope
For months from now we will have
an incredible victory
and we will begin
the four greatest years
in the history of our country
Together we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity, and freedom
for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed
that discord and division in our society must be healed
We must heal it quickly
As Americans we are bound together by a single fate
and a shared destiny
We rise together
or we fall apart
I am running to be president
for all of America, not half of America
because there is no victory in winning
for half of America
So tonight
with faith and devotion
I proudly accept your nomination
for president of the United States
Thank you
Thank you very much
And we will do it right
I'm gonna do it right
Let me begin this evening
by expressing my gratitude to the American people
for your outpouring of love and support
following the assassination attempt
at my rally on Saturday
As you already know, the assassins bullet
came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life
So many people have asked me what happened
Tell us what happened please
and therefore I will tell you exactly what happened
and you'll never hear it from me a second time
because it's actually too painful to tell
It was a warm, beautiful day
in the early evening
in Butler Township
in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Music was loudly playing
and the campaign was doing really well
I went to the stage and the crowd
was cheering wildly
Everybody was happy
I began speaking
very strongly, powerfully and happily
because I was discussing
the great job my administration did
on immigration at the southern border
We were very proud of it
Behind me and to the right
was a large screen that was
displaying a chart of border crossings
under my leadership
The numbers were absolutely amazing
In order to see the chart
I started to, like this, turn to my right
and was ready to begin
a little bit further turn
which I'm very lucky I didn't do
When I heard a loud whizzing sound
and felt something hit me
really, really hard
on my right ear
I said to myself, wow, what was that?
It can only be a bullet
and moved my right hand to my ear
brought it down
My hand was covered with blood
just absolutely blood all over the place
I immediately knew it was very serious
that we were under attack
and in one movement proceeded to drop
to the ground
bullets were continuing to fly
as very brave secret service agents
rushed to the stage and they really did
they rushed to the stage
These are great people
at great risk I will tell you
and pounced on top of me
so that I would be protected
there was blood pouring everywhere and yet
in a certain way I felt very safe
because I had God on my side
I felt that
the amazing thing is that
prior to the shot
if I had not moved my head
at that very last instant
the assassins bullet would have
perfectly hit its mark
and I would not be here tonight
we would not be together
the most incredible aspect
of what took place on that terrible leave
evening in the fading sun
was actually seen later
in almost all cases
as you probably know
and when even a single bullet is fired
just a single bullet
and we had many bullets
that were being fired
crowds run for the exits
were stampeded
but not in this case
it was very unusual
This massive crowd
of tens of thousands of people
stood by and didn't move an inch
in fact many of them bravely
but automatically stood up looking
for where the sniper would be
they knew immediately it was a sniper
and then began pointing at him
you can see that if you look at the group
behind me that was just a small group
compared to what was in front
nobody ran and by not stampeding
many lives were saved
but that isn't the reason
that they didn't move
the reason is that
they knew I was in very serious trouble
they saw it they saw me go down
they saw the blood
and thought
actually most did
that I was dead
they knew it was a shot to the head
they saw the blood
and there's an interesting statistic
the ears
are the bloodiest part
if something happens with the ears
they bleed more than any other part
of the body
for whatever reason the doctors
told me that life said
why is there so much blood
he said it's the ears
they bleed more
so we learned something
but
they just
they just this beautiful crowd
they didn't want to leave me
they knew I was in trouble
they didn't want to leave me
and you can see that love
written all over their faces
incredible people
they're incredible people
bullets were flying over us
yet I felt serene
but now the secret service agents
were putting themselves in peril
they were in very dangerous territory
bullets were flying right over them
missing them
by a very small amount of inches
and then it all stopped
our secret service sniper
from a much greater distance
and with only one bullet used
took the assassins life
took them out
I'm not supposed to be here tonight
not supposed to be here
yes you are
Thank you, but I'm not, and I'll tell you, I stand before you in this arena only by the
grace of Almighty God.
And watching the reports over the last few days, many people say it was a providential
moment, probably was.
When I rose, surrounded by Secret Service, the crowd was confused because they thought
I was dead, and there was great, great sorrow.
I could see that on their faces as I looked out.
They didn't know I was looking out, they thought it was over, but I could see it.
I wanted to do something to let them know I was okay.
I raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were breathlessly
waiting and started shouting, fight, fight, fight.
They clenched fist one up, and it was high into the air.
You've all seen that.
The crowd realized I was okay and roared with pride for our country like no crowd I have
ever heard before, never heard anything like that.
For the rest of my life, I will be grateful for the love shown by that giant audience
of patriots that stood bravely on that fateful evening in Pennsylvania.
Tragically, the shooter claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans, Corey, comparator,
unbelievable person, everybody tells me, unbelievable, and seriously wounded two other
great warriors.
Spoke to them today, David Dutch and James Copenhagen, two great people.
I also spoke to all three families of these tremendous people.
Our love and prayers are with them, and always will be, we're never going to forget
them.
They came for a great rally.
They were serious trumpsters, I want to tell you.
They were serious trumpsters.
And still are, but Corey, unfortunately, we have to use the past tense.
He was incredible.
He was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody, was accompanied by
his wife, Helen, incredible woman I spoke to today, devastated, and two precious daughters.
He lost his life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets.
He went right over the top of them and was hit.
What a fine man he was.
I want to thank the fire department and the family for sending his helmet, his outfit,
and it was just something, and they're going to do something very special when they get
it.
But we did something which cannot match what happened, not even close.
But I am very proud to say that over the past few days, we've raised $6.3 million for
the families of David, James, and Corey, including from a friend of mine, just called
up.
He sent me a check right here.
I just got it.
$10 million from Dan Newland, thank you, Dan.
And again, when speaking to the family, I told them, I said, well, I'm going to be sending
you a lot of money, but I can't compensate.
They all said the same thing.
You're right, sir.
We appreciate so much what you're doing, but nothing can take the place in the case of
Corey.
By the way, they were very, very seriously injured, but now they're doing very well.
They're going to be okay.
They're going to be doing very well.
They're warriors.
So now I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of our friend Corey.
There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for others.
This is the spirit that forged America in her darkest hours, and this is the love that
will lead America back to the summit of human achievement and greatness.
This is what we need.
Despite such a heinous attack, we unite this evening more, determined than ever.
I am more determined than ever, and so are you.
So is everybody in this room.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Our resolve is unbroken, and our purpose is unchanged to deliver a government that
serves the American people better than ever before.
Nothing will stop me in this mission because our vision is righteous and our cause is pure.
No matter what obstacle comes our way, we will not break.
We will not bend.
We will not back down, and I will never stop fighting for you, your family, and our magnificent
country.
Never.
And everything I have to give with all of the energy and fight in my heart and soul,
I pledge to our nation tonight.
Thank you very much.
I pledge that to our nation, and to turn our nation around, and we're going to do it very
quickly.
This election should be about the issues facing our country and how to make America
successful, safe, free, and great again.
In an age when our politics too often divide us, now is the time to remember that we are
all fellow citizens.
We are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
And we must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement, which is what's been
happening in our country lately at a level that nobody has ever seen before.
And that spirit, the Democrat Party, should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system
and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy, especially since that
is not true.
In fact, I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country.
And very big news, as you probably just read, when Monday a major ruling was handed down
from a highly respected federal judge in Florida, Eileen Cannon, finding that the prosecutor
and the fake documents case against me were totally unconstitutional, and the entire
case was thrown out, of course, with all of that publicity thrown out of court.
If Democrats want to unify our country, they should drop these partisan witch hunts, which
I have been going through for approximately eight years.
And they should do that without delay and allow an election to proceed that is worthy
of our people.
We're going to win it anyway, but worthy of our people.
From this journey, I am deeply honored to be joined by my amazing wife, Melania.
And Melania, thank you very much.
You also did something really beautiful, a letter to America calling for national unity,
and it really took the Republican Party by surprise.
I will tell you, it was beautiful.
In fact, some very serious people said that we should take that letter and put it as part
of the Republican platform.
That would be an honor, wouldn't it?
Right?
Mr. Congressman, but it captivated so many, so I also want to thank my entire family for
being here, Don Kimberly, Ivanka and Jared, Eric and Lara, Tiffany and Michael, Baron,
we love our Baron.
And of course, my 10 wonderful grandchildren, you saw a few of them up there on my lap before.
And how good was Dana?
Was Dana good?
You know, he was on probably the only vacation he's had in about maybe ever because he works,
but about 10 years with his wife, very far away.
I won't tell you where, but very, very far away, beautiful place.
And my people called and he said, yeah, I won't be able to do it.
This is many, many years, I promised my wife I can't do it.
And they came in, they said, Dana won't be able to do it because he was my first second
and third choice.
I said, well, you know, that's too bad, but I understand he's away and that's good.
It's good for him.
And that was it, about 30 minutes later, she came back in, sir, Dana just called, he's
going to do it.
And his wife, she said, you can't turn him down, you just can't do it.
You have to go.
That's a good wife.
So he got on a plane, he got here a little while ago, and now he's going to get on the
plane in a little while and he's going to go back home to his wife.
But they're great.
And I just want to thank her and him and their whole family because that's not easy.
And Kid Rock, same thing, called, he said, he said, I want to be a part of it.
I want to be a part because, you know, Kid does his great song, big, big monster song.
I had no idea.
You know, it became a friend of mine over the last 10 years and he's amazing.
Everyone loves him.
I didn't even know how big he was.
You know, he has rallies, 35, 40,000 people, he gets every time he goes out.
I think he's making so much money, he doesn't know what the hell to do with it, you want
to write it.
And then we have my other friend and I've known him so long and we took that song and
it was a big success, but we made that.
I saw a chart of great songs to America.
That was number one on the chart recently, number one.
So that's Lee Greenwood, a very special, beautiful person.
He's a beautiful man.
But they all wanted to be here, they called, and how about the Hulkster?
How good was he, you see him?
Nice.
Boy, oh boy.
You know, they may call it, they may call that entertainment.
I know about entertainment, but when he used to lift a 350-pound man over his shoulders
and then bench press him, two rows into the audience, I say, maybe entertainment, but
he is one strong son of a gun.
I will tell you, I watched it many times.
There aren't a lot of entertainers that can do that, right?
You were fantastic.
Thank you very much.
Followed by Eric.
What was that all about?
Boy, that was good.
I didn't want to really come up here, but he was so great, and he's such a good young
man.
He went through a lot of trouble, and Don last night was incredible.
He went through so much trouble.
They got subpoenaed more than any people, probably, in the history of the United States.
Every week they got another subpoena from the Democrats, crazy Nancy Pelosi, the whole thing.
Just boom, boom, boom.
We've got to stop that because they're destroying our country.
We have to work on making America great again, not on beating people, and we won.
We beat them in all.
We beat them on the impeachments.
We beat them on indictments.
We beat them.
But the time that you have to spend, the time that you have to spend, if they would devote
that genius to helping our country, we'd have a much stronger and better country.
And Jason, the biggest star in country music, Jason, thank you for being here.
Jason, thank you very much.
Jason Aldini, he's good.
I like his wife even better, by the way, she's here.
Thank you, Jason.
But I'm thrilled to have a new friend and partner fighting by my side.
The next vice president of the United States, the current senator from Ohio, J.D. Vance
and his incredible wife, Usha.
He's going to be a great vice president.
He's going to be great.
He'll be with this country and with his movement, greatest movement in the history of our country.
Thank America great again.
When they criticized it, they said, we're going to try and stop Magga.
I said, Magga, is it make America great again?
What are you going to stop?
There's nothing to stop.
Then they say, oh, that's right.
It's very tough to fight it.
And all of the people that did try and fight it have failed, but he's going to be with
us for a long time.
And it was an honor to select him.
Great, great student at Yale.
His wife was a great student at Yale.
They met at Yale.
They met two smart people.
So J.D., you're going to be doing this for a long time.
Enjoy the ride.
And a very special thank you to the extraordinary people of Milwaukee and the great state of
Iowa.
Oh, there they are.
There they are.
You are so easy to spot.
And Green Bay is going to have a good team this year, right?
They're going to have a good team.
Most of the audience doesn't like it, but it's true.
You're going to have a very good team this year.
And by the way, Wisconsin, we are spending over $250 million here creating jobs and other
economic development all over the place.
So I hope you will remember this in November and give us your vote.
I am trying to buy your vote.
I'll be honest about that.
And I promise we will make Wisconsin great again.
We're going to have to make it.
Thank you, Mr. Governor.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm here tonight to lay out a vision for the whole nation, to every citizen, whether you're
a young or old man or woman, Democrat, Republican or independent, black or white, Asian or Hispanic.
I extend to you a hand of loyalty and of friendship.
Together we will lead America to new heights of greatness, like the world has never seen
before.
We were right there in the first term.
We got hit with COVID.
We did a great job.
Nobody knew what it was, but nobody's ever seen an economy pre-COVID, and then we handed
over a stock market that was substantially higher than just prior to COVID.
Everything in did a great job.
Never got credit for that.
We got credit for the war and defeating ISIS and so many things, the great economy, the
biggest tax cuts ever, the biggest regulation cuts ever, the creation of space force, the
rebuilding of our military.
We did so much.
Right to try.
Right to try is a big deal.
We got right to try.
They were trying to get that for 52 years.
Everybody's terminally ill, and hopefully there's nobody in this audience, but it does
happen a lot.
They're terminally ill, and they can't use our new space age drugs and other things
that we are way ahead.
We're the greatest doctors in the world, the greatest laboratories in the world, and you
can't do it.
They've been trying to get that approved for 52 years.
Was it that easy?
The insurance companies didn't want to do it.
They didn't want the risk.
The labs didn't want to do it because if it didn't work, people are pretty far down the
line toward death.
They didn't want to do it.
The doctors didn't want to have it on their records, so I got everybody into an office.
52 years they tried.
Sounds simple, but it's not.
And I got them to agree that somebody that needs it will, instead of going to Asia, Europe,
or someplace, or if you have no money going home and dying, just die.
We got them to sign an agreement, agree to it where they're not going to sue anybody.
They're going to get all of this stuff.
They're going to get it really fast, and what's happened is we're saving thousands and thousands
of lives.
It's incredible.
Right to try.
It's a great feeling.
Under our leadership, the United States will be respected again.
No nation will question our power.
No enemy will doubt our might.
Our borders will be totally secure.
Our economy will soar.
We will return law and order to our streets.
Creatism to our schools, and importantly, we will restore peace, stability, and harmony
all throughout the world.
But to achieve this future, we must first rescue our nation from failed and even incompetent
leadership.
We have totally incompetent leadership.
This will be the most important election in the history of our country.
Under the current administration, we are indeed a nation in decline.
We have an inflation crisis that is making life unaffordable, ravaging the incomes of
working and low-income families, and crushing, just simply crushing our people like never
before.
They've never seen anything like it.
We also have an illegal immigration crisis, and it's taking place right now as we sit
here in this beautiful arena, it's a massive invasion at our southern border that has
spread misery, crime, poverty, disease, and destruction to communities all across our
land.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
Then there is an international crisis, the likes of which the world has seldom been part
of.
Nobody can believe what's happening.
The war is now raging in Europe, in the Middle East, a growing specter of conflict hangs
over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia.
And our planet is teetering on the edge of World War III.
And this will be a war like no other war because of weaponry.
The weapons are no longer army tanks going back and forth, shooting at each other.
These weapons are obliteration.
It's time for a change.
This administration can't come close to solving the problems.
We're dealing with very tough, very fierce people.
They're fierce people.
And we don't have fierce people.
We have people that are a lot less than fierce, except when it comes to cheating on elections
and a couple of other things.
Then they're fierce.
So tonight, I make this pledge to the great people of America.
I will end the devastating inflation crisis immediately, bring down interest rates and
lower the cost of energy.
We will drill, baby, drill.
Can you believe what they're doing?
But by doing that, we will lead a large-scale decline in prices.
Prices will start to come down.
Energy raised it.
They took our energy policies and destroyed them.
Then they immediately went back to them, but by that time, so much was lost.
But we will do it at levels that nobody's ever seen before, and we'll end lots of different
things.
We'll start paying off debt and start lowering taxes even further.
We gave you the largest tax cut.
We'll do it more.
You know, people don't realize I brought taxes way down, way, way down.
And yet we took in more revenues the following year than we did when the tax rate was much
higher.
Most people said, how did you do that?
Because it was incentive.
Everybody was coming to the country.
They were bringing back billions and billions of dollars into our country.
The companies made it impossible to bring it back.
The tax rate was too high, and the legal complications were far too great.
I changed both of them.
And hundreds of billions of dollars by Apple and so many other companies were brought back
into our nation.
We had an economy, the likes of which nobody, no nation, had ever seen China.
We were beating them at levels that were incredible.
And they know it.
They know it.
We'll do it again, but we'll do it even better.
I will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall,
most of which I've already built.
On the wall we were dealing with a very difficult Congress.
And I said, oh, that's okay.
We won't go to Congress.
I call it an invasion.
We gave our military almost $800 billion.
I said, I'm going to take a little of that money because this is an invasion.
We built, most of the wall is already built, and we built it through using the funds because
what's more, what's better than that?
We have to stop the invasion into our country that's killing hundreds of thousands of people
a year.
We're not going to let that happen.
I will end every single international crisis that the current administration has created,
including the horrible war with Russia and Ukraine, which would have never happened
if I was president, and the war caused by the attack on Israel, which would have never
happened if I was president.
Iran was broke.
Iran had no money.
Now Iran has $250 billion.
They made it all over the last two and a half years.
They were broke.
I watched the other day on a show called Deface the Nation.
Has anyone seen it?
And they had a congressman who was a Democrat say, well, whether you like them or not, Iran
was broke dealing with Trump.
I told China and other countries, if you buy from Iran, we will not let you do any business
in this country.
And we will put tariffs on every product you do send in of 100 percent or more.
And they said to me, well, I think that's about it.
They weren't going to buy any oil.
And they were ready to make a deal.
Iran was going to make a deal with us.
And then we had that horrible, horrible result that will never let happen again.
The election result would never going to let that happen again.
They used COVID to cheat.
You're never going to let it happen again.
And they took off all the sanctions and they did everything possible for Iran.
And now Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon, which would have never happened.
This is a shame what this administration, the damage that this administration has done.
And I say it often, if you took the 10 worst presidents in the history of the United States,
think of it, the 10 worst added them up.
They will not have done the damage that Biden has done.
I'm only going to use the term once, Biden.
I'm not going to use the name anymore, just one time.
The damage that he's done to this country is unthinkable.
It's unthinkable.
And then we will restore vision, strength, competence, and we're going to have a thing
called common sense making most of our decisions, actually.
It's all common sense.
Just a few short years ago under my presidency, we had the most secure border and best economy
in the history of our country, in the history of the world.
We had the greatest economy.
In the history of the world, we had never done anything like it.
We were beating every country, including China, by leaps and bounds.
Nobody had seen anything like it.
We had no inflation soaring incomes were going.
Nobody can believe it.
You can't believe what happened four years ago is happening now in reverse.
And the world was at peace.
Inflation has been a killer for our country.
No matter what you make it, it doesn't matter because inflation is eating you alive.
People that were putting away money, they were making great wages, the highest they've
ever made.
But they were putting away a lot of money.
Now they are just being destroyed.
They're not putting away anything.
They're barely living.
They're going into savings accounts that take in out their money to live because of inflation.
Inflation, remember, it's called a country buster.
You can go back to Germany from a hundred years ago.
You can go back to any country that suffered great inflation and we've suffered the worst
inflation we've ever had.
But go back and see what's happened to those countries.
We've had the worst inflation we've ever had under this person.
But in less than four years, our opponents have turned incredible success into unparalleled
tragedy and failure.
It's been a tremendous failure.
Today, our cities are flooded with illegal aliens.
Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force and their jobs are taken.
And by the way, you know who's taking the jobs, the jobs that are created?
107 percent of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens.
And you know who's being hurt the most by millions of people pouring into our country?
The black population and the Hispanic population because they're taking the jobs from our
black population, our Hispanic population, and they're also taking them from unions.
The unions are suffering because of it.
Thank you.
I like you too.
Thank you very much.
Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens and forced the middle class into
a state of depression and despair.
That's what it is.
It's despair and depression.
We cannot and will not let this continue less than four years ago.
We were a great nation and we will soon be a great nation again.
We're going to be a great nation again.
Thank you.
With proper leadership, every disaster we are now enduring will be fixed and it will
be fixed very, very quickly.
So tonight, whether you've supported me in the past or not, I hope you will support
me in the future because I will bring back the American dream.
That's what we're going to do.
You don't even hear about the American dream anymore.
With great humility, I am asking you to be excited about the future of our country.
And be excited, be excited.
And by the way, the news reports, oh, look at all of those big networks, look at them.
They're all here.
But every one of them has said this could be the most organized, best run and most enthusiastic
convention of either party that they've ever seen, every single one.
And it's true.
It's true.
And there's love in the room.
There's great love in the room.
So I better finish strong, otherwise we'll blow it and we can't let that happen.
Now this was great.
All of the great people that spoke and everybody had a home run.
I mean, there's not one that I can think of where I said, oh, gee, that wasn't great.
Every single person.
I refuse to be the only one.
Don't do that to me.
They're already getting ready.
See, I gave them an idea.
Now, we had a, this was a great convention.
This was, I think we're actually going to go home and miss it.
You know, usually with a, first of all, look at these crowds.
You never have this at a convention.
Look at these crowds.
Love, it's about love.
This week, the entire Republican party has formally adopted an agenda for America's renewal
and you saw that agenda.
And it's very short compared to the long, boring, meaningless agendas of the past, including
the Democrats.
They write these things at 100s of pages long and they never read them after they're done.
In their case, fortunately, they don't read them because they're pretty bad.
It's a series of bold promises that we will swiftly implement when you give us a Republican
House.
And Mr. Speaker, thank you very much.
We have our great speaker of the House with us tonight, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
A Republican Senate, we have many senators here, and send me back to our beautiful White
House just a few short months from now.
We're talking about just months.
It can't come fast enough.
We have to get it done.
First we must get economic relief to our citizens starting on day one.
We will drive down prices and make America affordable again.
We have to make it affordable.
It's not affordable.
People can't live like this.
Under this administration, our current administration, groceries are up 57 percent.
Gasoline is up 60 and 70 percent.
Mortgage rates have quadrupled.
And the fact is it doesn't matter what they are because you can't get the money anywhere.
You can't buy houses.
Young people can't get any financing to buy a house.
The total household costs have increased an average of $28,000 per family under this
administration.
Republicans have a plan to bring down prices and bring them down very, very rapidly.
By slashing energy costs, we will, in turn, reduce the cost of transportation, manufacturing
and all household goods.
So much starts with energy.
And remember, we have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country by far.
We are a nation that has the opportunity to make an absolute fortune with its energy.
We have it, and China does it.
Under the Trump administration, just three and a half years ago, we were energy independent.
But soon, we will actually be better than that.
We will be energy-dominant in supply, not only ourselves, but we will supply the rest
of the world with numbers that nobody has ever seen, and we will reduce our debt, $36
trillion.
We will start reducing that, and we will also reduce your taxes still further.
Next.
And by the way, they want to raise your taxes four times.
Think of it.
In all my life, I grew up watching politicians.
I always loved politics, I guess.
I was on the other side.
I'd watched the politics.
And they were always talking about, we will give you a tax cut.
We will give you a tax cut.
My whole life I was watching, I will give you a tax cut, right, Mr. Congressman?
That's all they talked about.
This is the only administration that said, we're going to raise your taxes by four times
what you're paying now, and people are supposed to vote for them.
I've never heard it.
You're paying too much.
We're going to reduce your taxes still further.
We gave you the biggest one, as I said.
We're going to give you more, and it's going to lead to tremendous growth.
We want growth in our country.
That's what's going to pay off our debt.
And next, we will end the ridiculous and actually incredible waste of taxpayer dollars
that is fueling the inflation crisis.
They spent trillions of dollars on things having to do with the Green New Scam.
It's a scam.
And that's caused tremendous inflationary pressures in addition to the cost of energy.
And all of the trillions of dollars that are sitting there not yet spent, we will redirect
that money for important projects like roads, bridges, dams, and we will not allow it to
be spent on meaningless Green New Scam ideas.
And I will end the electric vehicle mandate on day one, thereby saving the U.S. auto industry
from complete obliteration, which is happening right now, and saving U.S. customers thousands
and thousands of dollars per car.
And right now, as we speak, large factories, just started, are being built across the border
in Mexico.
So with all the other things happening in our border, and they're being built by China
to make cars and to sell them into our country.
No tax, no anything.
The United Auto Workers ought to be ashamed for allowing this to happen.
And the leader of the United Auto Workers should be fired immediately in every single
auto worker union and non-union should be voting for Donald Trump because we're going
to bring back car manufacturing and we're going to bring it back fast.
They're building some of the largest auto plants anywhere in the world.
Think of it in the world.
We're going to bring it back.
We're going to make them.
We don't mind that.
We don't mind that happening, but those plants are going to be built in the United States
and our people are going to man those plants.
And if they don't agree with us, we'll put a tariff of approximately 100 to 200 percent
on each car, and they will be unsellable in the United States.
We have long been taken advantage of by other countries.
And think of it.
Oftentimes these other countries are considered so-called allies.
They've taken advantage of us for years.
We lose jobs.
We lose revenue.
And they gain everything and wipe out our businesses, wipe out our people.
I stopped it for four years.
I stopped it, and we're really ready to make changes like nobody had seen before.
And remember, USMCA, I got rid of NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made, and replaced
it with USMCA, which is they say the best trade deal ever made.
Actually, probably the best trade deal was the deal I made with China, where they buy
$50 billion worth of our product.
They were buying nothing.
They buy $50 billion worth they had to.
But I don't even talk about it because of COVID.
I don't even mention it, frankly, because of what happened with the China virus.
We will not let countries come in, take our jobs, and plunder our nation.
They come and do that.
They plunder our nation.
The way they will sell their product in America is to build it in America.
Very simple.
Build it in America, and only in America.
And this very simple formula in Congress has to go along with us, and they will.
This very simple formula will create massive numbers of jobs.
We will take over the auto industry again, and many, many hundreds of thousands of jobs.
We lost so many jobs over the years.
If you go back 20, 25 years, they've stolen going to China and Mexico, about 68 percent
of our auto industry manufacturing jobs, we're going to get them all back.
We're going to get them all back, every one of them.
At the center of our plan for economic relief, our massive tax cuts for workers that include
something else that's turned out to be very popular, actually.
Here it's very popular in this building, and all those hotels that I saw that are so nice
I'm staying in, and this one, it's called No Tax On Tips.
No tax on tips.
I got that by having dinner recently in Nevada, where we're leading by about 14 points.
Hello. I'll see you there very soon, everybody.
We're having dinner at a beautiful restaurant in the Trump building on the Strip, and it's
a great building, and the waitress comes over.
How's everything going?
A really nice person.
How's everything going?
Oh, sir, it's so tough.
The government's after me all the time on tips, tips, tips.
I said, well, they give you cash.
Would they be able to find them?
She said, actually, I didn't know that.
She said, very little cash is given.
It's all put right on the check, and they come in, and they take so much of our money.
It's just ridiculous, and they don't believe anything we say, and they've just tired,
as you know, 88,000 agents to go after them even more.
And I said, this shows the level of my, you know, most people who have the higher consultants,
they pay millions of dollars.
But I said to her, let me just ask you a question.
You'd be happy if you had no tax on tips.
She said, what a great idea.
I got my information from a very smart waitress.
That's better than spending millions of dollars.
And everybody loves it.
Waitresses, and tatties, and drivers, and everybody's a large, large group of people
that are being really hurt badly.
They make money, let them keep their money.
I'm going to protect Social Security and Medicare.
Democrats are going to destroy Social Security and Medicare, because all of these people,
by the millions, they're coming in.
They're going to be on Social Security and Medicare and other things, and you're not
able to afford it.
They are destroying your Social Security and your Medicare.
Under my plan, incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish, completely jobs will come roaring
back, and the middle class will prosper like never, ever before, and we're going to
do it very rapidly.
But no hope or dream we have for America can succeed unless we stop the illegal, immigrant
invasion, the worst that's ever been seen anywhere in the world.
There's never been an invasion like this anywhere.
The third world countries would fight with sticks and stones, not to let this happen.
The invasion on our southern border, we will stop it, and we will stop it quickly.
You heard Tom Holman yesterday, Tom Holman, put him in charge and just sit back and watch.
Brandon Judd, the Border Patrol, he's incredible.
These guys, you know, really, their job is a lot easier if they don't have to do anything,
but they want to.
They're patriots.
Brandon Judd, Border Patrol, ICE, ICE goes out.
You have to see what ICE does with MS-13.
You have these, these are probably the worst gang, and ICE goes in there, and I know a
lot of people on these rows here, and they're very tough people, but they don't want to
do this job.
They'll go into a pack of MS-13 killers.
They're the worst, probably the worst gangs in the world, and we have thousands of them.
I moved thousands and thousands out in my four years.
We moved them out, and it was a pleasure, but ICE would go right into a pack of these
killers, and you see fist-flying, you see everything flying, and then they take them.
They put them in a patty wagon.
They take them back, and they get them out of our country, and the other countries weren't
accepting them back, and I called up, and I said, tell them that we're not giving them
economic aid anymore.
And the next day, I got calls from all of these countries that were terminated.
Years of dollars we spend on economic aid to countries that does us, frankly, no good.
And the next day, I was called by everybody.
I couldn't take all the calls, sir, sir.
What's the problem?
I said, you won't take your killers back, that you sent in caravans into America.
You won't take them back.
Well, sir, if you'd like us to, we would give very serious consideration to doing that.
And within 24 hours, they were being taken back for years and years.
When I first came in, they said, President Obama tried to get him to go back, and they
wouldn't accept him.
They put planes on the runway so he couldn't leave the plane.
They closed the road so he couldn't take the buses that all have to turn back.
As soon as I said, no more economic aid of any kind to any country that does that.
They called back, and they said, sir, it would be our great honor to take MS-13.
We love them very much.
We love them very much, sir.
We'll take them back.
At the heart of the Republican platform is our pledge to end this border nightmare and
fully restore the sacred and sovereign borders of the United States of America, and we're
going to do that on day one.
That means two things on day one, right?
Little baby drill and close our borders.
And by the way, and I think everybody as a Republican, as a patriot in this room and
most Democrats, we want people to come into our country, but they have to come into our
country legally, legally.
Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest border in American history,
but you can see on the chart that saved my life.
That was the chart that saved my life.
I said, look it.
I'm so proud of it.
I think it's one of the greatest who was done by the Border Patrol, one of the greatest
charts I've ever seen, it showed everything just like that.
You know the chart.
Oh, there it is.
That's pretty good.
Wow.
Last time I put up that chart, I never really got to look at it.
But without that chart, I would not be here today.
I never got to look at it.
I said, you got to see this chart.
I was so proud of it, and by the time I got to there, I never got to see it that day.
But I'm seeing it now, and I was very proud.
If you look at the arrow in the bottom, that's the lowest level, the one on the bottom,
heavy red arrow, that's the lowest level of illegal immigrants ever to come into our
country and record in history, right there.
And that was my last week in office.
And then you see what happened after I left.
Look at the rest.
And if you go out a little bit further, it's getting to be a little bit old, but I love
it anyway, right?
But you can go much higher with those numbers.
Look what happened.
Right after that, the invasion began.
We had the opposite.
We stopped the invasion.
But the invasion that we stopped was peanuts by comparison to what happened after I left.
Look at what happened after I left.
They took over our country.
We ended all catch and release.
We shut down asylum fraud.
We stopped human trafficking and forged historic agreements to keep illegal aliens on foreign
soil.
I'm going to stay on this soil.
Under the Trump administration, if you came in illegally, you were apprehended immediately
and you were deported.
You went right back.
The current administration terminated every single one of those great Trump policies that
I put in place to seal the border.
I wanted a seal border.
Again, come in, but come in legally.
You know how unfair it is?
So many people, hundreds of thousands of people, have been working for years to come
into our country, and now they see these people pour into our country at levels that
are unprecedented.
It's so unfair.
Now, we're not going to do it.
We're not going to stand for it.
They suspended wall construction, ended, remain in Mexico in a policy, remain in Mexico.
You think that was easy to get from the Mexican government?
But I said, you must give it to us.
If you don't give it to us, there will be repercussions and they gave it to us, but
not easy.
Cancelled our safe third agreements, demolished Title 42, implemented nationwide catch-and-release.
That's catch-and-release where we catch them and release them into our country.
I had, we catch them and release them into Mexico.
It was a slight difference.
And took 93.
This is the previous administration, 93 executive actions to throw open our border to the world.
The entire world is pouring into our country because of this very foolish administration.
The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our country.
They are coming in from every corner of the earth, not just from South America, but from
Africa, Asia, the Middle East.
They're coming from everywhere.
They're coming at levels that we've never seen before.
It is an invasion indeed, and this administration does absolutely nothing to stop them.
They're coming from prisons, they're coming from jails, they're coming from mental institutions
and insane asylums.
I, you know, the press is always on me because I say this.
Has anyone seen silence of the lambs?
The late great Hannibal Lecter.
He'd love to have you for dinner.
That's insane asylums.
They're emptying out there and saying asylums.
And terrorists are coming in at numbers that we've never seen before.
Bad things are going to happen.
Meanwhile, our crime rate is going up while crime statistics all over the world are going
down because they're taking their criminals and they're putting them into our country.
A certain country, and I happen to like the president of that country very much, but he's
been getting great publicity because he's a wonderful shepherd of the country.
He says how well the country's doing because their crime rate is down.
And he said he's training all of these rough people.
They're rough, rough, rough.
He's training them.
And I've been reading about this for two years.
I think, oh, that's wonderful.
Let's take a look at it.
But then I realize he's not training them.
He's sending all of his criminals, his drug dealers, his people that are in jails.
He's sending them all to the United States.
And he's different in that he doesn't say that.
He's trying to convince everybody what a wonderful job he does in running the country.
Well, he doesn't do a wonderful job.
And by the way, if I ran one of the countries, many countries, many, many countries from
all over, I would be worse than any of them.
I would have had the place totally emptied out already.
But we become a dumping ground for the rest of the world, which is laughing at us.
They think we're stupid.
And they can't believe that they're getting away with what they're getting away with,
but they're not going to be getting away with it for long.
That's what I can tell you.
In Venezuela, Caracas, high crime, high crime, Caracas, Venezuela, really a dangerous place,
but not anymore.
Because in Venezuela, crime is down 72 percent.
In fact, if they would ever win this election, I hate to even say that.
We will have our next Republican convention in Venezuela because it will be safe.
Our cities will be so unsafe, we won't be able.
We will not be able to have it there, and El Salvador murders are down by 70 percent.
Why are they down?
Now, he would have you convinced that because he's trained murderers to be wonderful people,
no.
They're down because they're sending their murderers to the United States of America.
This is going to be very bad.
And bad things are going to happen, and you're seeing it happen all the time.
That's why, to keep our families safe, the Republican platform promises to launch the
largest deportation operation in the history of our country.
Even larger than that of President Dwight D. Eisenhower from many years ago.
You know, he was a moderate, but he believed very strongly in borders.
He had the largest deportation operation we've ever had.
As recently I spoke to the grieving mother of Jocelyn Nungari, a wonderful woman, a precious
12-year-old girl from Houston who last month was tied up, assaulted, and strangled to
death after walking to the convenience store, just a block away from her house.
Her body was dumped near the side of the road in a shallow creek found by some onlookers
who couldn't believe what they had witnessed.
Charged with Jocelyn's heinous murder, two illegal aliens from Venezuela, who came across
our border, were in custody and were then released into the country by this horrible,
horrible administration that we have right now.
I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister of Rachel Moran.
Rachel was a 37-year-old mom of five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered
while out on a run.
She wanted to keep herself in good shape.
It was very important as she was murdered.
The monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador before he was led into
America by the White House.
This White House let them in.
He then attacked a nine-year-old girl and her mother in a home invasion in Los Angeles
before murdering Rachel in Maryland, traveled all throughout the country doing tremendous
damage.
Rachel's mother will never be the same.
I spent time with her.
She will never be the same.
I've also met with the wonderful family of Lake and Riley, the brilliant 22-year-old nursing
student.
She was so proud of being first in her class, who was out for a jog on the campus of the
University of Georgia when she was assaulted, beaten, and horrifically killed.
Yet another American life was stolen by a criminal alien set free by this administration
and these were incredible people we're talking about.
These were incredible people who died.
Tonight America, this is my vow.
I will not let these killers and criminals into our country.
I will keep our sons and daughters safe.
As we bring security to our streets, we will help bring stability to the world.
I was the first president in modern times to start no new wars.
We were the toughest.
We were the most respected.
And you saw this hungry, strong country run by a very powerful, tough leader, tough guy.
The rest doesn't like him because he's tough.
And he came out recently.
They were asking him at an interview.
The whole world is exploding.
What's happening?
What's going on?
Victor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, a very tough man, he said, I don't want people
coming into my country and blowing up our shopping centers and killing people.
But they said to him, tell us what's going wrong, what's happening, what is it?
He said, there's only one way you're going to solve it.
You've got to bring President Trump back to the United States because he kept everybody
at bay.
He used a word I wouldn't use because I can't use that word because you'd say it was braggadoches.
The press would say, he was a braggart.
I'm not a braggart.
But Victor Orban said it.
He said Russia was afraid of him.
China was afraid of him.
Everybody was afraid of him.
Nothing was going to happen.
The whole world was at peace.
And now the world is blowing up around us.
All of these things that you read about were not going to happen.
Under President Bush, Russia invaded Georgia.
Under President Obama, Russia took Crimea.
Under the current administration, Russia is after all of Ukraine.
Under President Trump, Russia took nothing.
We defeated 100 percent of ISIS in Syria in Iraq, something that was said to take five
years, sir.
It'll take five years, sir.
We did it in a matter of a couple of months.
We have a great military.
Our military is not woke.
It's just some of the fools on top that are woke.
I got along very well, North Korea, Kim Jong-un.
I got along very well with them.
The press hated when I said that, how could you get along with them?
Well, it's nice to get along with somebody who has a lot of nuclear weapons or other
weapons, isn't it?
See, in the old days, they'd say, that's a wonderful thing.
Now they say, how could you possibly do that?
But now I got along with them.
And we stopped the missile launchers from North Korea now.
North Korea is acting up again.
When we get back, I get along with them.
He'd like to see me back, too.
I think he misses me if you want to know the truth.
Our opponents inherited a world that peace had turned it into a planet of war, we're
in a planet of war.
Look at that attack on Israel.
Look at what's happening with Ukraine.
The cities are just bombed out.
How can people live like that?
What buildings, massive buildings are falling to the ground?
It began to unravel with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the worst humiliation in
the history of our country.
We have never had a humiliation like that.
Thirteen heroic U.S. service members were tragically and needlessly killed.
Forty-five others were horrifically wounded.
Nobody ever talks about them.
No arms, no legs.
Face explosions.
Horrifically, horrifically wounded.
And by the way, we have a man in this room who's running for the U.S. Senate from a great
state, Nevada, named Sam Brown, who paid the ultimate price.
Thank you, Sam.
Thank you.
He paid the biggest price probably ever paid by anybody that is running for office, and
I think he's going to do great.
He's running against a person that is not good, not respected, a total lightweight, but Sam,
I think, paid really.
We were talking about it with some of the senators that are working so hard for Sam, but he paid
the biggest price of any senator ever to run for the Senate.
I don't think anybody's ever what he did.
He was a real hero, a really great person, and he's running, and I hope that everybody
gets out and votes for Sam Brown.
And we also left behind $85 billion worth of military equipment, along with many American
citizens, we're left behind.
Many, many American citizens, emboldened by that disaster, Russia invaded Ukraine.
They saw this group of people that were incompetent.
We took the soldiers out first.
No, no.
We're going to take the soldiers out second.
If they would have followed my plan, we had a great plan.
But the plan only kicked in if they did everything perfectly, and they weren't doing things perfectly.
So we said it doesn't kick in.
You know, 18 months in Afghanistan, we didn't have one, so they were killing them left and
right snipers.
And I spoke to the head of the Taliban, you've heard this story, Abdul, still there and still
the head of the Taliban.
The press got on me.
Why would you speak to him?
I said, because that's where the killing is.
I don't have to speak to somebody that has nothing to do with it.
And I told him, don't ever do that.
Don't ever do that again.
Don't ever, ever do that again.
You're going to stop.
Because during the Obama administration, many great people and soldiers, a lot of soldiers
were being killed from a long distance.
I said, if you keep doing that, you're going to be hit harder than anybody's ever been
hit by a country before.
And he said, I understand your excellency.
Call me your excellency.
I wonder if he calls the other guy your excellency, I doubt it.
The other guy gave him everything.
I mean, what kind of a deal was that?
He walked out and gave him everything.
You know that right now Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of weapons in the world.
They're selling the brand new beautiful weapons that we gave them.
But think of it, he actually said to me, but why, but why do you show me a picture of my
home?
I said, you'll have to ask your people or one of your wives.
But he could figure it out.
And for 18 months, we had not one attack on an American soldier by the Taliban.
Eighteen.
And then we had that horrible day where soldiers were killed.
I was not there because of a ridiculous election.
But we had that horrible attack.
And they also gave up Bagram, one of the biggest bases anywhere in the world, air bases,
anywhere in the world, the longest runways, most powerful, hardened, thickened runways.
We gave it up.
And I liked it, not because of Afghanistan.
I liked it because of China.
It's one hour away from which China makes their nuclear weapons.
And you know who has it now?
China has it now.
We were keeping that.
And now China is likewise circling Taiwan and Russian warships and nuclear submarines
are operating 60 miles off the coast in Cuba.
Do you know that?
The press refuses to write about it.
If that were me running this country and we had nuclear submarines in Cuba, I will tell
you that headlines every day would be, what's wrong with our president?
You don't even hear this.
You're not hearing about this.
Russia has nuclear submarines and warships 60 miles away, Mr. Congressman, from Miami,
by the way, happens to be here, correct?
In Cuba.
And that would not be stood for for somebody else.
They don't even, they don't want to mention it, but now maybe they will.
And the entire world, I tell you this, we want our hostages back and they better be
back before I assume office, where you will be paying a very big price.
With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over.
I don't have wars.
I had no wars other than ISIS, which I defeated, but that was a war that was started.
We had no wars.
I could stop wars with a telephone call.
I could stop wars with just a telephone call.
If properly stated, it would never start.
We will replenish our military and build an Iron Dome missile defense system to ensure
that no enemy can strike our homeland, and this great Iron Dome will be built entirely
in the USA.
We're going to build it in the USA.
And Wisconsin, Wisconsin, just like I gave you, that massive ship contract, and you're
doing a very nice job, Governor Wright.
Thank you, Governor.
And they're doing a great job.
In fact, I had a little design change and we gave them a tremendous war, essentially
what we used to call destroyers.
These are now the most beautiful.
They look like, yes, they said, we have to take the bow and we have to make it a little
nicer and a little point at the top instead of a flat nose.
And the people at the shipyard said, this guy sort of knows what he's doing.
We have the most beautiful ships, right, Governor, and everybody sitting over there.
And it was a big contract that everybody wanted.
I gave it to Wisconsin, but we're going to have a lot of that built right here in the
state of Wisconsin, and all other states, Israel has an Iron Dome.
They have a missile defense system.
342 missiles were shot into Israel, and only one got through a little bit.
It was badly wounded.
It fell to the ground, but most of them are.
Ronald Reagan wanted this many years ago, but we really didn't have the technology many
years ago.
Remember they called it Starship, Spaceship, anything to mock him, but he was a very good
president, very, very good.
But now we have unbelievable technology.
And why should other countries have this?
And we don't.
No, no.
We're going to build an Iron Dome over our country and we're going to be sure that nothing can
come and harm our people.
And again, from an economic development standpoint, we're going to make it all right here.
No more sending it out to other countries in order to help.
It's America first, America first.
We will unleash the power of American innovation, and as we do, we will soon be on the verge
of finding the cures to cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and many other diseases.
We're going to get to the bottom of it.
You remember this gentleman that I don't want to mention other than one time I had to,
because when you say you're the 10 worst, I had to do it.
I didn't want anybody to be confused.
But this man said, we're going to find the cure to cancer.
Nothing happened.
We're going to get to the cure for cancer, and Alzheimer's and so many other things were
so close to doing something great.
But we need a leader that will let it be done.
We will not have men playing in women's sports that will end immediately.
And we will restore and renovate our nations once great cities, making them safe, clean,
and beautiful again.
And that includes our nation's capital, which is a horrible killing field.
So many things.
They leave from Wisconsin.
They go to look at the Washington Monument.
They end up getting stabbed, killed, or shot.
We will be very soon, very proud of our capital, again, Washington, D.C.
is on the cusp of a new golden age, but we will have the courage to seize it.
We're going to take it.
We're going to make it a current, I mean, we're going to bring this into a golden age like
never seen before.
Remember this.
China wants to do it.
Japan wants to do it.
All of these countries want to do it.
We have to produce massive amounts of energy if we're going to produce the new, if you look
at some of the things that have been done and some of the things that we're going to
do, but AI needs tremendous, literally twice the electricity that's available now in our
country.
Can you imagine?
But instead, we're spending places where they recharge electric cars.
They built eight chargers at a certain location toward the Midwest.
Eight chargers for $9 billion.
Think of them as a tank for filling up your gas.
Think of it.
They spent $9 billion on eight chargers, three of which didn't work.
And if you were going to do this all over our country, this crazy electric band-aid,
if you're going to do this all, and by the way, I'm all for electric.
They have their application.
But if somebody wants to buy a gas-powered car, gasoline-powered car, or a hybrid, they're
going to be able to do it.
And we're going to make that change on day one.
So, to conclude, just a few short days ago, my journey with you nearly ended.
We know that.
And yet, here we are tonight, all gathered together, talking about the future promise
and a total renewal of a thing we love very much.
It's called America.
We live in a world of miracles.
None of us knows God's plan or where life's adventure will take us.
I want to thank Franklin Graham for being here tonight as an outstanding man.
He wrote me a note recently.
I have a lot of respect for him.
Sir, I love your storytelling.
I think it's great in front of these big rallies.
But, sir, please do me one favor.
It won't make any difference.
Please.
I don't use any foul language.
I was a little embarrassed.
I said, he said, it won't make any difference.
Actually, it's not quite as good, but I've been very good.
The story is not quite as good, to be honest.
I've got to have a little talk with Franklin.
I thought he was great.
He was a great gentleman.
His father was so incredible, Billy Graham.
My father used to love taking me to see Billy Graham.
My father would take me to see Billy Graham at Yankee Stadium.
He had the biggest rally ship ever seen.
He was a good rally guy, too.
But he'd get up and he was a fantastic guy.
My father loved Billy Graham.
But I love Franklin Graham.
I think Franklin's been fantastic.
And I'm trying.
I'm just working so hard to adhere to his note to me.
I'm working hard on it, Franklin.
But if the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single
moment we have on Earth is a gift from God.
We have to make the most of every day for the people and for the country that we love.
The attacker in Pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement, but the truth is, the movement
has never been about me.
It has always been about you.
It's your movement.
It's the biggest movement in the history of our country by far.
It can't be stopped.
It has always been about the hardworking, patriotic citizens of America.
For too long, our nation has settled for too little.
We settled for too little.
We've given everything to other nations, to other people.
You've been told to lower your expectations and to accept less for your families.
I am here tonight with the opposite message.
Your expectations are not big enough.
It is time to start expecting and demanding the best leadership in the world, leadership
that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless.
We can do that.
We are Americans.
Ambition is our heritage.
Greatness is our birthright.
But as long as our energies are spent fighting each other, our destiny will remain out of
reach.
And that's not acceptable.
We must instead take that energy and use it to realize our country's true potential
and write our own thrilling chapter of the American story.
We can do it together.
We will unite.
We are going to come together.
And success will bring us together.
It is a story of love, sacrifice, and so many other things.
And remember the word devotion.
It's unmatched devotion.
Our American ancestors crossed the Delaware, survived the icy winter at Valley Forge, and
defeated a mighty empire to establish our cherished republic.
They fought so hard, they lost so many.
They pushed thousands and thousands of miles across a dangerous frontier, taming the wilderness
to build a life and a magnificent home for their family.
They packed their families into covered wagons, trekked across hazardous trails, scaled towering
mountains, and braved rivers and rapids to stake their claim on the wide open, new,
and very beautiful frontier.
When our way of life was threatened, American patriots marched onto the battlefield, raced
into enemy strongholds and stared down death and stared down those enemies to keep alive
the flame of freedom.
At Yorktown, Gettysburg, and Midway, they joined the roll call of immortal heroes, so
many horror, just so many heroes, so many great, great people, and we have to cherish
those people.
We can't forget those people, we have to cherish those people.
And building monuments to those great people is a good thing, not a bad thing.
They saved our country.
No challenge was too much, no hardship was too great.
No enemy was too fierce, together these patriots sold you on and endured, and they prevailed
because they had faith in each other, faith in their country, and above all, they had
faith in their God.
Just like our ancestors, we must now come together, rise above past differences.
Any disagreements have to be put aside and go forward, united as one people, one nation,
pledging allegiance to one great, beautiful, I think it's so beautiful, American flag.
What did I ask for your partnership, for your support, and I am humbly asking for your
vote.
What's your vote?
I'm going to make our country great again.
Every day I will strive to honor the trust you have placed in me, and I will never, ever
let you down.
I promise that.
I will never let you down.
To all of the forgotten men and women who have been neglected, abandoned, and left behind,
you will be forgotten no longer.
We will press forward, and together we will win, win, win.
Win, win, win, win, win.
Nothing will sway us, nothing will slow us, and no one will ever stop us.
No matter what dangers come our way, no matter what obstacles lie in our path, we will keep
striving toward our shared and glorious destiny, and we will not fail, we will not
fail.
Together we will save this country, we will restore the Republic, and we will usher in
the rich and wonderful tomorrows that our people so truly deserve, America's future will
be bigger, better, bolder, brighter, happier, stronger, freer, greater, and more united
than ever before.
And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America great again.
Thank you very much.
Wisconsin.
God bless you.
God bless you, Wisconsin, and God bless the United States of America, our great country.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Thank you.
God bless you, Wisconsin, and the United States of America, our great country, our great
country.
God bless you.
You are because of me.
You are based on it.
And I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love
you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
See you soon.

and the name of his father,
the name of his father,
