Prepared remarks

Well, thank you very much, everybody. It's a special place, and I am here to announce my candidacy—[ laughter ]—I'm only kidding. I'm only kidding.

No—boy, I tell you, what a group we have—thousands of people outside on a weekday. The weather is nice. But we're in Marietta. We're in Atlanta, right by it. And I just want to thank everybody.

Those are places—you know, we had a tremendous victory here, and it was a big, beautiful victory. We won by a lot, and we have some great candidates running. They've got to win by a lot; otherwise, we're going communist. I don't think anybody wants that.

Audience members3:31

Boo!

We're not going to do that. But I'm thrilled to be back in the great State of Georgia with thousands of proud, hard-working American patriots. That's what you are. And with your help, in 2024 we earned more votes than any candidate in Georgia history. There's never been anything like it. And when I say that, I have to be careful, because look at all the fake news back there. They will correct me.

Audience members3:56

Boo!

They will say, "He said he earned more." If I didn't earn, if I was two votes short, they would say, "He's lying. He's lying." They are sick individuals. They're the fake news. But I have to be careful.

No, we weren't. We had more votes than any candidate in the history of this great State, and I'm very proud. I love Georgia. I've always loved it. And every day since, I've been fighting for the people of Georgia like no President has ever fought before. You're doing well too. We're going to keep it that way.

And 18 months ago, you were in trouble. Our country was in trouble. Frankly, it was a catastrophe, what was happening. Sleepy Joe Biden and the radical-left "Dumocrats"—they're "Dumocrats"—d-u-m, "Dumocrats"—created the worst inflation in 48 years.

Scott Bessent, was it the worst inflation in 48? Now, if Scott doesn't have credibility, nobody does. Okay? He said it's the worst—and it was. It was—actually, I think it was beyond 48 years. But 48 years is good enough.

Wide open borders with millions of people, even from the world's worst prisons—from all over the world, they were pouring into our country. All over the globe, they came. Prisons and gang members, drug dealers, child predators, and 11,888 murderers, many of whom committed more than one murder. More than 50 percent committed more than one murder.

We had transgender for everybody. Men in women sports came ravaging through our cities.

Audience members5:36

Boo!

And the whole world was laughing at us. We were a joke all over the world. But not anymore, they're not laughing. They're not laughing. Right, Jackson? They're not laughing anymore, Jackson. Huh? Going to be your next Governor right here.

Two years ago, our country was dead, and now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world, respected by everybody all over the world. We're the hottest. And we're respected like—I say we—respected maybe like never before.

When I took office, we inherited the worst border in U.S. history. It was an open wound. It was an open sieve. We quickly turned it into the most secure border in the history of our country within 2 months.

And numbers were just released by the "Dumocrats" that in the past 14 months a historic record of zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States.

Zero. And now our crime numbers are among the lowest they've ever been. It's plummeting downward, and nobody has ever seen anything like it.

Nationwide crime has been the lowest numbers that we've had in many, many decades. Last year, we achieved the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded to the lowest level in 125 years. That's since 1900. That's before my father was born. My father—before my father was born.

Think of it: From the year 1900, lowest murder rate we—and that's despite the fact that we had millions of people poured into our country, who were, in many cases, very, very dangerous people.

We cut the flow of fentanyl across our border by 67 percent. And drugs coming in by ocean, sea, by water was cut 97 percent. We're trying to figure out who the 3 percent are because they are among the bravest people anywhere in the world. [ Laughter ] You've seen that.

Pew. They are the bravest people in history, I believe.

We're making the largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces, and we've got the strongest and most powerful military anywhere in the world by far. There's nobody close. And I built it during my first term. I built our military. And, as you know, they stupidly gave a lot of it away, but actually, it was a lot, but it was small compared to what we built.

But they gave a lot of it away to the Taliban, to Afghanistan. They gave it away. They said: "Just take it. We're leaving. Let's leave brandnew machines behind. Let's leave airplanes behind." I said to them: "Well, why didn't you just fly it out and we'll take it back? Or we can even fly it back to the United States, if you'd like." "Sir, I think it's cheaper to leave it." [ Laughter ] Brandnew planes. It was so sad. I saw what was happening. What a disgusting thing took place.

But we then, as you know, we won Venezuela, which is now working with us to produce millions and millions of barrels of oil. We're getting along great with them. One day. And we've already paid for that operation many, many times over.

We're taking tremendous amounts of oil, and they're taking tremendous amounts of oil. It's a partnership, in a sense. They're doing a great job. We're working together. And millions of barrels of oil is going to Houston and Louisiana, coming to you indirectly after it's refined. [ Laughter ] They're refining it there. But millions and millions of barrels of oil.

And also, Venezuela is doing better than they've ever done before too. The big oil companies are going in and they're signing up. We have Chris Wright working on it, Doug Burgum working on it. Scott is working on them. And it's been incredible, actually, what—it's got serious oil.

In fact, if you combine us and Venezuela, we have about 62 percent of the world's oil market, so we don't need Straits. We don't need anything. We don't need the Hormuz Strait, but we do it because we have to do it because we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. It's very—[ inaudible ].

So we're likewise winning in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and we're ensuring that they will never ever be able to do to us what they've done to so many. You know, they've killed 52,000-plus protesters. People that were protesting have been killed—52,000 over the last 4 months. Nobody wants to talk about—the fake news back there never mentions that.

And I just left Dover Air Force Base, which is an incredible place, but oftentimes very sad, because that's when they bring the bodies of our great heroes, our great patriots, warriors. They bring them back to Dover. And I've been there many times before. This was, in particular, something very sad.

I attended the dignified transfer ceremony for four great U.S. servicemembers killed in the conflict with Iran as they returned to American soil at Dover. And one of the families happened to be traveling to Georgia—beautiful family, beautiful wife and husband and brother-in-law. And I said: "I'm going to Georgia too. Where are you going?" She says, "Well, after this, sir"—they lost their beautiful son. "We're going to Georgia." I said, "So, if you want, I'll give you a ride on Air Force One." And they said, "Wow. Wow."

So today I then said—they're on Air Force One, and it's quite nice, I must say. [ Laughter ] And they said: "Wow, this is something. Thank you so much." But they're heartbroken. You know, they're heartbroken, but they couldn't believe it.

And they live very close to here. They live minutes away. And we're here today. And I said to them, celebrating the memory of their beautiful—this was a beautiful son.

You know—I read—when I go to Dover, I read charts on all of the young people, and some are unbelievable. Some are a little bit—you know, they got a little bit of a—little—couple of little bad things put in. This is a son who was, like, a flawless, perfect person. Beautiful, beautiful son. Handsome in every way. Brilliant. Respected by everybody.

This—his sheet read so beautifully, and I told them that their beloved son—and it's—his name was Lieutenant Tyler Feehan, and he was a person that was going all the way. He was going to be a general. He would have been a general very quickly. He was heading in that path.

But I just want to thank Tyler's mother Shari; his father Stephen; and his uncle David. Great people, and I got to know them a little bit on the plane.

And standing there watching this sight, which is—oh, it's very, very tough to—very tough to watch, to be honest with you. Very tough. I think it's the toughest thing I do of anything I do. I do all this stuff, but I think it's the toughest thing I do.

But to Shari and Stephen and David, we will carry Tyler's memory in our hearts forever. And I just want to thank you. It's an honor to have you here today. Please.

Thank you very much. You see the way everybody feels. Your neighborhood—this is your neighborhood. Can you believe it? You see the way they feel. Thank you. Thank you, Shari. He's looking down right here. He's so proud right now.

So, together, we're making our country safer and stronger and far more successful than it's ever been before, and that's happening before your very eyes. That's why I call it the golden age. This is the golden age of America.

We're building more plants than at any time in the history of our country, and not just AI and all of the different things you read about—things like auto plants. You know, the old-fashioned way.

Toyota just announced they're leaving Mexico and they're coming in. They're going to be building the largest plant anywhere in the world. They're all coming back. They're all leaving Canada. They're leaving Mexico. They're coming in from Germany and Japan and South Korea. They're coming in from all over.

And people that have been doing this, people like Scott and others that have been doing this for a long time, they've never seen anything like it. I don't think you've ever seen anything like it, McGee. Have you? You haven't seen anything. He's doing such a great job.

In 4 long years of the Sleepy Joe Biden administration, they got less than $1 trillion of new investment in our country—in 4 years, much less than $1 trillion.

In less than 2 years—much less than 2 years, actually. In fact, at the end of the first year, but less than 2 years in my administration, we've secured more than $19.2 trillion in new investment from all over the world.

So think of that. So, in 1 year they did much less than $1 trillion of investment. We were losing this country, I'll tell you. And the welfare—you see all the theft that's going on. Guys are stealing $100 million—some guy from the street steals $100 million. It's horrible. The welfare was going through the roof. The costs were going through the roof. It was a disaster taking place.

But think of it. So they did less than $1 trillion in 1 full year. In 4 years, they did less. Think of this: In 4 years, they did less than $1 trillion. We did $19.2 in 15 months. Think of that. Think—I mean, you know—the pharmaceutical company—we're bringing our pharmaceutical—we learned that through COVID. We're bringing the pharmaceuticals back. But the big pharmaceutical company UCB is investing $2 billion to build its first-ever American manufacturing plant right here in Gwinnett, Georgia. Gwinnett.

Look at the Front Row Joes. I love these people. I love these people. I think there are about 283—I don't know what the hell they do. I think they make a lot of money too. I'm hearing they're very rich. They follow us. It's a rock concert, right? You have a good time, right?

Audience members17:39

Yes!

Thank you. They've been with me right from the beginning. It's—how many have you done so far, do you think? Four? Five? Six?

Close to a thousand? It might be. You think he's kidding. It might be. Well, we love you. Thank you very much. We love you, guys. Thank you.

We have groups—we have a group from—I don't know if they're here, but we have a group from North Carolina. Women, beautiful women. They follow us. And they're at 218, I think—219. They come, and I always say, "What the hell are your husbands saying about this?" [ Laughter ] "This is crazy." They're these beautiful women. I think they're sort of a wealthy family. I don't know what the hell's going on with them.

But, you know, like the Front Row Joes, it's—we have a lot of those groups. They're just great. They've been with us right from the beginning. And you know why they're with us? Because they love our country. That's why they're with us. It's really why they're with us.

So Japan is investing $600 million in—we're cutting-edge diamond processing facility, as you probably read this morning, in your State. Six-hundred million.

Yamaha Motors is building its brandnew U.S. headquarters in Kennesaw.

And more money is being invested in the United States right now than at any time in the history of our country, and Americans are working today more so than ever before. We have more jobs today than we've ever had, and it's not even close. More people are working now than at any time in the history of our country.

And the stock market has set—and that's with this skirmish we have going on. I call it a skirmish. This is with—this skirmish we have with the Islamic Republic of Iran. And I call it that, because, let me tell you, they're getting hit so hard, and they want to make a deal. But I say they're not ready to make a deal because, every time they make a deal, they want to change it and everything. They're not ready. They'll be ready very soon.

And this is—despite this, it's going on. The stock market has hit 73 alltime highs since the election. Think of that. And the typical American's 401(k) is up by $34,000, setting records day after day. It's up by numbers that have never been seen before. So your 401(k)s. They always say, "Oh, the stock market"—stock market's very important.

But I have people coming up to me that have 401(k)s. They said: "You know, I was a disaster. My family wouldn't talk to me. They thought I was a total loser, and now I'm like"—the one guy said, "I feel like Warren Buffett." [ Laughter ]

No, the markets are right through the roof, and it's a beautiful thing to watch, frankly. It's beautiful. What—it's brought families together.

I mean, I told the story about a policeman in New York City. He said: "My wife was really down on me because the 401(k) was a disaster. Wasn't moving. And you get elected, and it's—they think I'm—she thinks I'm the most brilliant financial mind in the world now. She loves me much more than she did." [ Laughter ] She's close. But you should never love for that reason. Remember that, please.

And while the stock market is skyrocketing way up, inflation is way down. We're coming way down. And last week—it was announced just last week that inflation dropped by the largest amount in more than 6 years because we're doing it right. We're running the country properly.

And they tried to blame high prices on me. So think of it. When I inherited this thing on January 20, we had the highest inflation in many, many years—48 years, they say. I say maybe ever. This is what I inherited.

And when I had nothing to do—I had nothing to do with it. I walk into office, I have a press conference first or second day, and they're screaming at me, "What are you going to do about high prices?" Right? "What are you going to do?"

I said: "I just got here. What are we talking about? Tell me." "Eggs. Eggs have gone up four times. Four times." I said, "I just got here." [ Laughter ] "Give me a break."

They did. They were hitting me with the eggs. And you remember that? Kelly, you remember? I got hit with the eggs. [ Laughter ] First day, first press conference. Nice, friendly press conference—you know, they treat me so nicely. [ Laughter ]

"What are you going to do about the prices?" And they said—they used the word—first time I heard it. It was a word, you know, made up by the Democrats: "affordability."

They said "affordability." I said: "I've been here 1 day. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." And we're taking care of it. You know, we're taking good care of it. They had the highest prices. They had the highest prices.

In fact, with the eggs—you know, we have an Easter egg hunt like a few months after this, and they said: "Don't order eggs, sir, because they're so expensive. Use plastic eggs." They wanted me to give the kids—I said, "Nope, we're going to get it done." We did a great job.

Our Secretary of Agriculture did a great job. And we got—the price, now, of eggs is lower than it was when we started, right? And many other things too.

And oil will be coming. It's going to be tumbling down. It was 3 weeks ago. They thought we had a deal. I said, "I don't think we have a deal with these guys." They break every deal they make. But I said—you know—but people thought the geniuses on Wall Street—they came down—really down.

And it goes back up a little bit, but it's going to come down, maybe, lower than when we even started. But just give me a little time. I always say, "Give me a little"—I said to the farmers, "Give me a little time," and look how we're doing with the farmers—what's going on with the farms and everything. This country is rocking and rolling.

So every day we're fighting to put more money back in the pockets of the hardworking American families. And that's why, with the help of our incredible Republican majorities in Congress—we've done so much—I proudly signed the "Great Big Beautiful Bill," delivering the largest tax cuts in American history. Largest in American history. And we did big ones first.

You know, we had the best economy in history in my first term. A lot of people don't—because we had a COVID period—went all over the world. And we did a great job with it, got no credit for it. We did Operation Warp Speed. And I'll tell you, we did a great job, but we got very little credit for it. We should have been given big credit, but we got credit for everything else.

And we had the best economy, but this economy is ready to blow everything away—ever—of any country. There's never been anything like what's happening in the United States of America right now.

So I just want you to remember that if you're paying a little bit more, a lot of it's come down now. We've got it coming down very rapidly, actually. Look at the number just released. But it, really—you know, we inherited something from Biden, and we're giving it back to you—thousands and thousands dollars—each family, we gave it to you.

Also remember, forgetting about prices—and I don't want to forget about it, and I would never leave a sentence like that because they'll say, "He said, 'Forget about prices.'"

I said: "Despite anything you see, we gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors." We gave you something that nobody ever thought of. This was my idea. I said: "Give people a deduction if they buy a car only that's made in America. Give them a deduction." They go out, borrow money. They're out—allowed to get a deduction.

But this past filing season, 130,000 tipped workers right here in Georgia saved an average of more than $7,000 on their taxes, and that's because of no tax on tips.

You know, we're building a tremendous military facility at the White House. It's a ballroom, but it's also a big military facility—a drone port on top and tremendous things underneath.

And they've been working hard. A lot of overtime. They work until 11th hour—11 o'clock in the evening. Almost every evening: 11, 11:30. They get there 6 o'clock in the morning. They're really working.

And the other day, I went over to them, and I said, "Gather together." And I had, you know, hundreds of workers. Very big thing. It is beautiful. It's going to be incredible. It's an incredible project. It's a contribution to the United States of America by very wealthy people and very wealthy companies. It didn't cost this country.

But what happened is, I said to all the workers—it was a Sunday, and they were working on a Sunday. Maybe they shouldn't. Maybe they should be in church. I don't know. I'll get them in trouble. But they were working on Sunday, and I said, "Remember this: No tax on overtime." All the overtime they're making. And they gave me a big cheer. No tax on overtime.

As an example, 700,000 Georgia workers saved an average of over $3,000 thanks to no tax on overtime. And 500,000 Georgia seniors paid zero dollars on their Social Security benefits thanks to no tax on Social Security.

But perhaps most consequential of all is the provision that the "Great Big Beautiful Bill" that we're celebrating today—it's something that's beautiful. It's beautiful because it takes care of our youth: It's called the Trump Accounts, and it's hot as a pistol. It's hot as a pistol.

And under this groundbreaking new policy, every American child gets a tax-free investment savings account that can grow over the course of their childhood and be used for them when they reach 18 or 21.

Their parents, grandparents, employers, and loved ones can contribute up to $5,000 a year. And with the modest contribution, these accounts will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars for these young people by the time they get to, let's say, 18; let's say, 21. But by the time they're just young adults, they could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most likely will be.

And for decades, Washington politicians gave our children absolutely nothing but debt. But the Trump Accounts—we're finally seeing and ensuring that every young American gets a great start in life and a really fair shot at the American Dream, which is what we all want. They all aspire to that.

And under the system, every newborn child gets $1,000 deposited in their Trump Account at birth—think of that—from the United States Government. Think of that. The Government is finally giving money back to our children. You think that was easy to get from the Democrats? Not easy.

Actually, they didn't vote for it. They didn't. I don't think we got one vote. We got it—a unanimous Republican vote. We didn't get any Democrat votes, I don't think. But they have a hard time justifying all of the things that they've done.

But the Government gives them $1,000 at birth, and from there, it just goes up and up and up. And lots of people, like the employers, can put money into their children's accounts of the employees. It's a beautiful thing, and I'm seeing it.

And again, over 7 million, and it really just started, I would say, Scott, a few weeks ago, because it was all—all of the very, you know, complex legal governmental things were worked out about 3, 4 weeks ago, and we have over 7 million people already—children already. So that's great.

And I want to just tell you that generous individuals like Michael and Susan Dell, Brad Gerstner, and so many others—have donated billions of dollars to fund Trump Accounts for millions of children. Some people are going to take and—take the children from States, the entire State, like Gerstner is looking at the State of Indiana, where he contributes the money for—these are wealthy people. They've made a lot of money and they're putting it back.

But Michael and Susan—they're two special, incredible people—as an example, donated $6 billion 250 million into the accounts for youth. They gave them for youth. Michael Dell, Susan Dell: 6 billion 250 million.

I have a friend; he gave 50 million. I said: "That's peanuts. That's not even close to the 250 million that Michael Dell gave." I said, "What are you doing? You can do better than that." [ Laughter ]

But people are loving it. And you know what I say? Go out and buy a Dell computer. Okay? Because as far as I'm concerned, that's great stuff.

And the Trump Accounts app, for those that want, is now the number one app in all of America. Isn't that nice? For our youth, people are doing it. It just caught on.

In the past 18 days, nearly $1.5 billion have been deposited into the Trump Accounts. Think of that. The money is pouring in. And it's—again, it's for children. And all sorts of advantages and tax advantages for the people that do it and make this investment in our future, because it's really an investment in our future.

And all you have to do is go to TrumpAccounts.gov—TrumpAccounts.gov—and sign your child up for a free investment account today, and the child gets a thousand bucks from the Government. You think that was easy to do? That wasn't easy to do. [ Laughter ] Tell the Democrats you're giving everybody $1,000.

But we're pleased to be joined by some of those incredible Georgia families benefiting from the Trump Accounts, including Cole and Alyson Loden and their 3-year-old beautiful child Ray, their 2-year-old Rex, and 3-month-old daughter Ren.

And Cole and Alyson met at Kennesaw State University, where he played football and he was a cheerleader and a respected guy, good student.

Now Cole is a project manager helping build data centers. And just this past April, they became the first homebuyers—Cole and Alyson bought their first home, so I just want to—

Come up here for a second, Cole and Alyson. Come up. Say a few words, wherever you may be. Where are you? Come on up. Come on. Don't worry about Secret Service. [ Laughter ]

We've had people come up. One of them almost got beat up, and all they did was—I said, "Come on up," and they "foom."

Oh, beautiful. Wow. That's so nice.

Be careful. You can't fall like Sleepy Joe. [ Laughter ] You can't do it.

Come on. Say something.

Aww.

Camden County, GA, resident Cole Loden33:55

Thank you, Mr. President and the White House staff, for allowing my family to be a part of this special event. It is truly an honor.

Thank you, Mr. President and your administration, for the hard work and commitment that the Trump Account—that made the Trump Account possible.

As a father, it's encouraging to know that our children's future can begin with an investment from day one.

To every eligible new parent, I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity by opening a Trump Account for your child and continuing to invest in it each and every year.

Mr. President, thank you for your continued commitment to investing in American families. And on behalf of my wife and me, thank you for providing our children with a greater opportunity to pursue and achieve their American Dream.

Thank you. And God bless America.

Audience members34:56

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Thank you very much, Cole. That's beautiful.

Also with us are Dean and Gabrielle Fung-A-Wing and their four children, Elise, Jude, Isaiah, and Talia, who also have been, very proudly, members of the Trump Accounts. And Dean and Gabrielle are both entrepreneurs who believe in teaching their children the importance of self-reliance, and it's happening.

You know, people are watching the market now. They're watching—"How are the stocks doing?" "How's it going?" And they're only going up, it looks like. And we're going to keep it that way.

So, Dean and Gabrielle, come on up for a second, please.

Wow. Wow. Beautiful.

Atlanta, GA, resident Dean Fung-A-Wing36:03

Well, Mr. President, thank you for this honor. My American story began when my parents brought our family from Suriname to this city in 1990.

We attended local schools and college right here in Georgia, and, in 2008, my wife and I lost our jobs just before learning we were expecting our first child.

A friend taught me the appliance repair and service trade, and it changed our lives. Together, we built a company serving over 55,000 homes across the city, and then she fired me and made herself CEO. [ Laughter ]

Later, I founded a technology startup, and that patented technology, along with our team, protects millions and millions of square feet of commercial real estate from water damage.

Standing with me today are my wife and our four beautiful children. We opened Trump Accounts for each of them, and because investing in the next generation strengthens the fabric of America.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. And God bless America, and God bless you.

Beautiful people.

Well, thank you all. Appreciate it.

But while our administration is lifting up the next generation with the power of freedom and American capitalism, proven all over the world when it's done right—it's not always done right, but when it's done right, there's nothing like it—the radical left is actively trying to destroy our children's future with the disaster known as communism.

Audience members38:05

Boo!

It's communism. This isn't a "Social Democrat." These are Communists by another name, right?

As I said in my recent address at Mount Rushmore recently—I don't know if anybody saw it. Such a beautiful place. You know, the Communists want to take it down. They tried taking Mount Rushmore down. They want to blow it up. They want to take it down. "They shouldn't be up there." These people are crazy.

But communism is—in my opinion, communism is the single greatest threat to our country in its history, including even World War I and World War II, Pearl Harbor, 9/11. I think it's the greatest threat that I've ever seen to our country. These people are stone-cold crazy—and it is the enemy of the free people everywhere and everywhere in the world.

You see it happening, and every time it starts to happen—the areas where it's at, whether it's blue States—you see the blue States are all going bad. They're all going bad because communism is a loser. The concept, the policy, it's a loser, and it always has been, and it always will be.

And you know, they want to give everyone—everything away. You want free rent? You want free house? You want to—what they don't say is that a year from now there'll be absolute squalor, turmoil, and death. And that's the way it's happened all the way—it goes back thousands of years by different names.

But that's the way it happens all the time. It's squalor. It's poverty. It's death. It's destruction. And that's why we declare again today that the United States of America will never be a communist country.

Audience members40:27

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Thank you.

You know, remember during the State of the Union, I said that this country will never be a socialist country. Remember? And I was right. They skipped socialism. They went right to communism. [ Laughter ]

Georgia's a State that believes in common sense, and yet your terrible Senator, Jon Ossoff—he's terrible——

Audience members40:53

Boo!

——and the Democrats in Congress are voting with the Communists every single time. They're afraid of the Communists. You look at it.

No, I was—I fought Ossoff before, as you know, and we won. We had a great success against this guy. He reminds me of Pinky [Pee-wee; White House correction] Herman. Did you ever see Pinky [Pee-wee; White House correction] Herman? [ Laughter ]

Jon Ossoff and the congressional "Dumocrats" voted against securing our border. They voted against our massive tax cuts that you have. They voted against that Trump Accounts for your children. They want to raise your taxes by a lot, not lower them. We lowered your taxes. We gave you the greatest tax cut in the history of our country, twice now. And they want to raise your taxes substantially.

You know, it's—I've been watching politics. I've been involved in politics in the other side, you know, for a long time. I've always found it interesting, fascinating, important. But I've never seen people say ever—it's always politicians. I've watched great politicians—"We will lower your taxes." They always say, "We will lower"—even if they didn't mean it, they'd say, "We will lower your taxes."

These people say, "We're going to raise your taxes." I've never heard it before. It's a new phenomena. It's a "phenomenae." [ Laughter ]

They voted against no tax on tips. They voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against no tax on Social Security for the seniors. They voted against voter ID. Can you believe that?

Audience members42:30

Boo!

Well, you saw what happened. They catch—they caught thousands of votes in New Jersey, where illegal aliens were allowed to vote. Thousands and thousands of votes.

They voted in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children and in favor of——
