Prepared remarks
But we're not going to let that happen.
Our "Great Big Beautiful Bill" gave us no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. Right? That's a big deal. And the overtime you're working—and I don't know much, but I know you're making a lot of cars, more than you've ever made before. I assume, are they getting a little overtime, Mary? Huh? She doesn't want to say. She is. [ Laughter ] I know you are. No tax on that overtime.
Think of the no tax on tips in Nevada. I went, and a young lady came over—a beautiful waitress. She was a waitress and very beautiful, but I'm not allowed to say that politically, because if you call somebody beautiful, that's usually the end of your political career. But——
You're beautiful! [ Laughter ]
But she happened to be beautiful. But she happened to be beautiful. [ Laughter ]
And I say, "What's going"—"Oh, sir, I'm getting killed with tips. I'm getting—sir, there should be no tax on tips." I say, "What?" I'm sitting down with a group of people—very boring group; we're all bored—[ laughter ]—at my hotel in Las Vegas, and she comes up and she says, "Sir, there should be no tax on tips." I say, "Say it one more time."
And I went outside, and I spoke to the fake news that follow me all over the world, looking for me to make one little mistake. If I make one little mistake——
Boo!
If I mispronounce a word, which doesn't happen often; if I fell, oh, they're waiting. They would love to—[ laughter ]—because I knock. You know, you can't fall every single time you come up on a dais, like Biden did. Oh, if I slipped even a little bit, they would—there would be headlines all over the world. So I give very—I'm very careful, very judicious as I walk down the airline—way—you're way the hell up in the sky. I go nice and slowly. We don't want to give them—but it's true. It's, like, what they do. I mean, it's so unfair.
But they know how well we're doing, and now they're starting to report it because they have no choice because every record that's being broken, all these records that are coming out—not only in your business. We're leading in AI. We're beating China in AI. Nobody expected that. We're building more plants than anybody in the world.
And frankly, the businesses are all moving. You know, many of these businesses, they left here and they went to foreign countries. They went to Germany. They went to Mexico and Canada. They went to Japan. They went to South Korea—car businesses, a lot of businesses. And now they're coming back home where they belong.
And according to a report released just last week, the "Great Big Beautiful Bill" saved more than 170,000 Michigan jobs. You saw that. Think of that.
If you took 170,000 people off of your taxpaying payrolls, think of how much—think of how many people that is: filling a big stadium up three times.
But remember, every single "Dumocrat"—it's a new word that I use, "Dumocrat." I just exchange the E for the U. It works out quite nicely, thank you. But they're Dumocrats. They want open borders. They want men playing in women's sports. They want transgender mutilization of your children.
Boo!
They want the transgender mutilization of your children for everyone. So, I call them "Dumocrats."
Boo!
And the "Dumocrats" don't want to have voter ID, and the Democrats do not—Brian, you know this—they don't want to have a thing called proof of citizenship. So why doesn't somebody want voter ID or proof of citizenship? Because they want to cheat. Okay? There's only one reason.
Actually, most Democrats do want it. It's only the politicians, because they could never get elected. If that ever gets approved, they will never get elected again.
But every single "Dumocrat" in Congress voted against our massive tax cuts for working families. All of the things: the no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security. All of these things they voted against. I mean, just voted against.
They voted against voter ID. They voted in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children, in favor of men playing in women's sports.
I've looked at men playing in women's sports. It's very unfair. I had a top, top—one of the top NFL football players standing next to a wonderful female athlete, and they were playing a game of football, if you can believe this whole thing. This game did not work out very well. This was not a game that she will ever want to play again, I will tell you.
The whole thing is crazy. There's something wrong. These people are crazy, and we can't let them get into office and ruin our country. We can't do it.
And the congressional "Dumocrats" voting for tax hikes—they're voting for open borders. The "green new scam" on their side. Remember the "green new scam"? Everything had to be green, green, "The world is going to collapse. It's going to be gone." Fifteen years ago, they were saying we only had 12 years left, but we're still here. [ Laughter ]
But they're siding with the radical-left Communists taking over the party. They want—in other words, the normal Socialists who can—destroy a country too, they're not going fast enough.
Do you remember, like, in one of my State of the Union speeches, I said, "We will never be a socialist country," but I was right. We're going to be a communist country. That's what they want. [ Laughter ] They skipped socialism. Can you believe it?
But communism is the greatest threat to our country in history, including even World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11. I mean, this is a serious threat, because they're going to give—promise all sorts of things. In one year, the country will be absolutely bankrupt. You'll live in squalor. You'll live in fear. You won't have police. You won't have firemen. You won't have anybody. You're going to be—it's a disaster. The—even the thought of it is a disaster.
And we have the hottest country in the world. We don't want to have it, and we have to be strong about it. We can't be nice. You know, a lot of the Republicans are nice. We're a very nice party. We shouldn't be so nice, to be honest with you.
But we can't let them get their claws into this incredible—they call it an experiment. I don't think it's any longer an experiment. This has been going on for a long time. We've had good years, bad years. We're having the single greatest year we've ever had as a country. We're not going to let these people destroy it.
And you know the other thing—I'm just thinking now. You know, I do a lot of these speeches, and I end up reading about 20 percent.
Isn't it nice to know that you have somebody that doesn't have to read a speech? And it's even better to know that you have somebody that can read a speech if he wants to. The other guy couldn't even read a speech.
But I'm just thinking about it. This is maybe going to make news because I've never said it. I'm just thinking about it now: When they take something over, it's always dirty. The sidewalks are dirty. The people are—I hate to say this—not clean. [ Laughter ] Okay? The curbs are loaded with you-know-what. The smell is terrible.
I mean, I see it happening to cities, blue cities. They're all blue. They're all blue. We don't have problems with the Republican-run cities, I mean, for the most part.
But they're dirty. I said to somebody about a certain city. I don't want to say the name of it, but it's run by the radical left. I said, "How is it doing?" Because I love it. And they said, "It's filthy dirty." It's so dirty they've never seen it like that. It's so filthy dirty. And I just thought of it. Nobody ever says that.
You know, I'm a—I'm sort of a clean freak. I like clean. Do you ever see Washington, DC? Do you see Washington, what happened? Washington—see, it was filthy. Graffiti all over the place. We fixed up 72 monuments and fountains, and we've done an unbelievable—we took the graffiti off the beautiful marble columns. We have new grass going down.
But you know what we did the best? We stopped crime in Washington. It's down 88 percent, and we moved out over 5,000 career animals. We moved them out. And it's really considered a very safe city. All the restaurants were closing up. Nobody wanted to operate a restaurant.
We have a great restaurant here, run—where are you, from Michigan? Where's my restaurateur? He was one of the great—where's Mark? Mark. Mark, you're right in front. How'd you get such a good seat? [ Laughter ] He's a great restaurateur, but everything you have is clean.
But you know, it's true, and I'm just saying: They take over; everything becomes disgusting and dirty. It's dirty and filthy and grimy. It's not clean anymore.
Look at Washington, DC, what I've done in a short period of time. Working with the Department of Interior, Doug Burgum, and the whole group, we have done some job. We've taken graffiti-filled statues all over the city and monuments and waterfalls and everything. The beautiful reflecting pond where we get—I mean, we did some job. Somebody comes along and starts cutting it with a knife. These sick—they're sick. It's—but it's—in the hospital now, but it's going to get better very soon. It's almost ready to open. We could have kept it that way for a while, but I didn't want to do that. I wanted to get—I wanted to have it fixed perfectly. But these people are very terrible.
But think how beautiful Washington, DC, is. But the most important thing is, we have very little crime.
And there's a statistic that's incredible: 2 percent of the people create 91 percent of the crime. Because you can handle 2 percent of the people. We get them out. We get them out.
And our military, our National Guard has been unbelievable, and they work with the DC police. But they've been unbelievable. So I just want to thank them.
But Washington, DC, is now again—and it's going to get only better. It's going to get all new grass. The parks are getting all new grass. I have a man who's a fantastic man, one of the biggest grass growers. I know everybody. I know grass growers, but he's actually a very rich guy. He wants to fix up the parks, all brandnew grass. We're going to do our job. He gave us—he donated the grass for the White House.
We're building a heliport, and we're building a drone port, and we're building a great ballroom and a military facility as part of it. And it's incredible. And it—people cannot believe how it looks.
Washington, DC—think of it—is now a really safe city, and it's so beautiful again. And people are proud of it. It's our capital. They have to be proud of it. It was a crime-ridden mess.
And the other thing—I got a call from the Governor of Louisiana, and he said: "Sir, we have Mardi Gras coming up in New Orleans. Could you please help us? We are such a disaster. The crime is so bad." And they've had a lot of problems with crime. And I sent our team in there. And called me back, he said, "You know, crime is down almost 80 percent." Think of that: almost 80 percent. This was 8 months ago, and they had the safest Mardi Gras they've ever had.
And in Memphis, Tennessee, the Governor called, and the mayor called—a Democrat mayor called—that they need help. And Memphis was very, very dangerous. Companies were leaving. Too much danger. It was really—you couldn't walk down the street. And now crime there is down 77 percent, and it's getting better all the time.
And if they do that in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, we would take care of it so quickly, but we have to get called. I want them to call us. I don't want to say—I don't want to—they're running it. I want them to call us, and we will get rid of the crime so quickly your head will spin.
But we're pleased to be joined today by some of the incredible patriots fighting for Michigan workers, including Representatives—a friend of mine; she's unbelievable—Lisa McClain. Stand up, Lisa. Great. She's great. She is great. And she's tough too, I want to tell you. I'm not going to say she comes in a small body—[ laughter ]—but she comes with one hell—she comes with fire and brimstone. Right, Lisa? And we love Lisa. Respected by everybody.
Tim Walberg. Tim, great. Eighteen years he's been doing it, and everybody respects you a lot. Thank you, Tim, very much. Appreciate it.
Another Congressman who's doing really, really good. He's going to have a tough race. You got to help him. Tom Barrett. He's here someplace. Where's Tom? Tom.
Come on up, you three. You come up. Lisa, come on up. And, John James, come up. You have to win, John James. You have to win.
I also want to thank Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall, Army National Guard Captain Mike Bouchard.
Where's your father, Mike? Where's your father? Where's Mike? I just met your father. He's the best looking police. Where's Mike? Do you want to come up? Come up here. Come here. Your father is so proud of you. He's standing, and he had more medals than anybody I've ever seen. He's saying, "My son is doing good, sir." I said, "He is doing good."
Navy veteran Amir Hassan. He's a congressional candidate who we've got to get elected. He's good. Thank you, Amir. And Amir comes from a great General Motors family, a long line of General Motors.
And former Congressman—so, here's a man who's running for the Senate. I happen to think he won last time. Okay? He's a great guy, and he is respected all over Washington. He's one of the best candidates we have anywhere. He's smart. He's tough. He's fair. His name is Mike Rogers, and he will be a great Senator.
Mike, come on up. Come on. I'll let—a couple of them say a couple of words. I'll be right back. Is that okay? Come on up here, Mike. Say a couple of words.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. Thanks for gracing your presence here at the General Motors facility and bringing jobs back. Yes, you bet.
Imagine if, Mr. President, you have a Senator that cares about—much about manufacturing, especially in Michigan, than you do. That's a change we absolutely need.
And when I get back there, Mr. President, I promise you this: I will work with you to protect our families, protect our freedoms, protect our factories, protect our finances. And when I get back there, Mr. President, if you haven't gotten it done, we're going to pass the SAVE Act. Save America. God bless you.
And John. Say a few words, John.
Well, again, thank you, Mr. President, for coming back to Michigan, where you've won three times. We very much appreciate your leadership.
And as Governor of the State of Michigan, we're going to be—we're going to be matching those Trump Accounts. We're going to be taking care of our children. We're going to—we're going to matching those.
You know, we have a President who keeps his promises. We have a President who looked at his situation and he said, "You're going to have very fast planes in Macomb County." You know what he did? In the very first 100 days, the President of the United States, President Donald J. Trump, delivered F–15EX to Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
The President has always been looking out for Michigan jobs. The status quo doesn't work for Michigan, and President Trump is pushing back. And as a result, President Trump signed my bill to protect our automotive industry against the harmful California EV mandates, and as a result, our jobs are coming back to Michigan.
But most importantly—most importantly, the President, because he's the best deal-maker the planet has ever known—President Donald Trump has gotten $19 trillion of investment back in the United States of America. But because of the failed policies of Gretchen Whitmer, a lot of that investment is not coming back here.
We're working with you, Mr. President. We're going to make sure that we have an environment where we can bring that investment back to the State of Michigan to create jobs right here for the best autoworkers in the world.
Thank you so much for your leadership, Mr. President. God bless you. And we have your back.
Great job. Come on, Barrett. Get up here. Say a few words.
Well, thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for coming back to Michigan. And thank you for putting our men and women who build things first and foremost in the American economy. Thank you for being here today with the men and women that I have the privilege of representing in Congress, to tell them and show them just how important Michigan is on the map.
The hard work of the people here put America on wheels, puts our economy on overdrive, and provides livelihoods for families across our country, especially right here in Michigan. Manufacturing is our largest industry. Our President understands that. He's stepping up every single day to make sure that we bring more manufacturing jobs back to America, back here to Michigan. And I'm proud to stand with you today, sir, in recognition of that. And thank you so much for coming to Michigan again today.
Talk about the American dream. Born and raised in Flint, Michigan, the birthplace of General Motors. Son of a father, a grandfather, a grandmother, a aunt, an uncle that all work for General Motors, son of a educator.
Protecting America, getting back to the fundamentals and the foundation that made us great in the beginning—that's what we're doing this cycle. The contrast is clear. The time is now.
If you love America, make noise. If you believe in first responders, make some noise. If you back our military, make some noise.
And if you're proud to be a conservative——
U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
U.S.A.! Let's go, baby.
We are putting this country back on the map because we have a leader who stands up for us.
Mr. President, thank you for coming to Michigan, but I also have to say thank you for defending our military and putting us in a position to succeed. This time last year, I was in Iraq.
During the 12-day war, you put our military in a position to succeed because you gave the troops what we needed to survive. So my friends and I are home, sir, because you put us first. And you put Michigan first as well.
It took 47 years to stand up and say lunatics can't have nuclear weapons. It also took decades to reshore jobs. Reshoring jobs wasn't a thing that we talked about before President Trump came back.
Now jobs are coming back to Michigan because we have leaders that stand up for us. We need to win this election in November so we can keep growing.
Thank you, Mr. President. Let's go, Michigan.
I didn't bring my box, so I apologize. [ Laughter ] But take a moment. Take a moment and look around. Look at how many people are filling this manufacturing facility. And why is that? That is because we love this country.
And I'm going to share with you: If you love this country, you have got to get out there and make some noise. You have got to get out there and vote. You have got to get out there and tell your friends, your neighbors, anybody who will listen, that this is an election between common sense and communist crazy.
And the leader of our party, President Donald J. Trump, isn't resting on his laurels. Promises made, promises kept.
He told you he was going to secure the border. What did he do? He secured the border.
He told you he was going to make his tax cuts permanent. And what did he do? He made your tax cuts permanent.
The last thing we need to do is make sure we pass that SAVE America Act. And we will do that because we will secure our elections to make sure that this country continues to live in a democracy, to continue to be a republic. Because there is nobody that loves this country greater than the man standing behind me, and that's our President, Donald J. Trump.
I never want to go behind Lisa, that's for sure. But as dean of the Michigan delegation, you can see why I'm proud of this delegation and the ones that we're going to bring to this delegation and even one we're going to bring to finally be an ally over on the other side of the House—that little body over in the Senate, a guy we can talk to who understands America, who supports this President, that is imminently supportable. And we say that out there today.
I'm also chair of the Education and Workforce Committee. We have a President that understands workforce. That's why he's here with all of us. He understands education. That is in-—not indoctrination for communist crazy. And that's what we're seeing today.
So let me say this to you, as chair of the Education Workforce Committee: We're here today trying to educate you, to educate others, to get out and work, to get this team in place, so the final 2 years of this President—maybe final 2 years of this President—[ laughter ]—will be so memorable that we won't need to worry about the future.
Let's get out and work as a workforce for freedom!
Thank you. Thank you.
Good job.
Thank you. Thank you very much. What a group.
Thank you very much. That's a great group. We've got to get them elected.
Also with us is the mayor of Hamtramck, Amer Ghalib. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor.
And, Mark, thank you very much for being here. Mark Zarkin, a great guy.
And a man who has been with me from the very beginning. Again, I have to do it because this guy has been like—he got it a long time ago—Brian. Thank you very much, Brian. Thank you. Thank you very much. Special. He has been right from the—he got it right from day one. You know? So we don't forget that.
Eighteen months ago, we inherited a catastrophe from the—Biden and from the radical-left Democrats. They created the worst inflation in 48 years; wide-open borders with millions and millions of people from mental institutions, insane asylums, the world's worst prisons pouring into our country. From all over the world, they came. They came from South America. They came from the Congo. They came from places from all over the world.
We had transgender for everybody, men playing in women's sports, crime ravaging our cities, and the whole world was laughing at us as a stupid nation. They called us a stupid nation.
But they're not laughing anymore. America is respected again, I think like we've never been respected before. You saw I went to the G–20. I went to the G–7. I went—wherever we go, they're—looking at us as the real leader again. For a long time, that hadn't taken place.
Under our leadership, we're making the largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces. And right here in Michigan, I got 21 new F–15EX Eagle IIs for Selfridge Air National Guard Base, ensuring that Michigan stays at the cutting edge of North American air power.
Selfridge was very, very important. It's a big deal. It was closed. It was over. It was going to be closed. Now it's open.
We have the strongest military anywhere in the world by far. We have the greatest people. We have the best equipment in the world.
I built it during my first term, and I'm using it now. We had no choice. Again, we can't let what was happening in Venezuela go on, and I was very decisive. But we can't let what was and is going on—they killed 52,000 protesters—think of it—in a 4-month period—four—52,000 in Iran.
But we've already paid for the Venezuela operation, as I said. And likewise, we're winning big time with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and we're ensuring that they never have a nuclear weapon. When somebody comes up and says, "Why are we doing this?" just say, "Because we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon." It's very simple. That's all you have to say. There's nothing else you have to say.
If you understood the power of the nuclear weapons, you'd understand exactly what I was saying.
When I took office, we inherited the worst border in U.S. history, but we quickly turned it into the most secure border in the history of our country by far. And in the past 14 months—a number that's not even believable, but it is what it is; it's published every month—a historic record of zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States. Zero.
And now, as you've been reading, crime is plummeting nationwide. Last year, we achieved the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded to the lowest level in 125 years. Nineteen hundred—that's before my father. Bring up my father. That's before my father was born. A hundred and twenty-five years—lowest murder rate.
And that's despite the fact that we have people in this country that shouldn't be here. That's despite that. But a lot of them are being brought out very rapidly.
Under my most-favored-nation policy on drug prices, we're delivering the largest prescription drug price cuts in the history of our country by far, with differences of 400, 500, and even 600 percent. Nobody can believe it.
We were the highest priced for decades—the highest priced in the world for drugs, prescription drugs. And now we're the lowest price in the world. So you think that was—I won't bore you with the way I did it, but no other President was able to do it. I'm not sure they even tried.
But all of you have to go out and go to TrumpRx.gov—TrumpRx.gov, and you're going to find that you're going to buy whatever you're looking for at a tiny fraction of what you were paying.
To stop the massive theft of taxpayer dollars, we ended Medicaid for illegal immigrants. And we launched the war on fraud, led by our great Vice President, J.D. Vance, who's having a tremendous—we're finding unbelievable levels of—unbelievable levels of fraud. Minnesota, that Governor is so crooked. Ilhan Omar with her brother, so crooked.
Boo!
But it's all under very serious investigation. We're finding billions of dollars. Billions.
In just 18 months, we've turned this country completely around, and it's still—we're going to do still better. But we have a turn. We're hot.
Jobs are up. Inflation is down. Our border is secure. Factories are opening at record levels. Investment is booming. Michigan is thriving. America is winning like never before. And, again, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
With the help of our Republican majorities in Congress, we will crush violent crime to the lowest levels ever; impose harsh new penalties for dangerous repeat offenders—they are very bad; crack down on Marxist prosecutors; and we will end no-cash bail, which really got the crime started more than any other single event. No-cash bail: You kill somebody, and you walk out.
We will pass the Great Health Care Plan—that's what it's called: the "Great Health Care Plan"—to stop all payments to big insurance companies and give the money directly to you, the people, so that they can buy their own health care, which will be much less expensive and be a much better health care. Very simple.
And the Democrats are fighting us on that one too. They're fighting us as hard as you can fight, because you know what? They happen to be owned by the insurance companies. The insurance companies receive billions and billions of dollars a year. They own the Democrats. And the Democrats—they don't want to debate it. They just want to fight it.
And we want to give the money directly to the people, and you go out, and you buy your own health care. You'll get great health care and have lots of money left over.
And we will continue to remove dangerous criminals, drug dealers, human traffickers, and child predators from our country. And we will always stand with the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol. They are heroes. The abuse they're taking.
If you saw some of the people they have to deal with, if you saw the toughness and the craziness and the—boy, oh, boy. The roughest people, really, in the world. They were led into our country by Biden and the group. By probably—I don't even know if he knew. I don't even know that he knew people were coming in. I don't think they told him.
But they were coming into our country, and they are the roughest people in the world. Remember, they used to say, "Oh, foreign people don't commit crime." They make our criminals look like babies. It's the only thing good about them: They make our people look like absolute babies.
But they are—you don't get rougher. Tren de Aragua: the roughest in the world. They cut off people's fingers so they don't make a phone call. You're going to make a phone call, "I'd like to call the police"—boom, their fingers are gone. These are the roughest and worst people in the world.
They're out of here. We've got them largely out of here. We can never let that happen again. Can never let it happen. Single most difficult thing that I've had to work with.
And finally, we will pass the SAVE America Act through the Senate—hopefully, the Senate. Call your Senators and put pressure on them. We won't get one Democrat Senator to get you voter ID with photo. Need a photo. It'd be nice. Oh, they—okay, good. You know they want to—if they did ID, which they don't want to do, they don't want a photo. Why don't they want it?
You know, at the Democrat National Convention, they had an identification card that was bigger than most of the people's chests. It was hung on a chain with a picture and every fact about this person you can imagine. But for voting, our most sacred thing, you don't need, they say, voter ID.
So we want voter photo ID—and we want all voters showing proof of a thing called citizenship. Isn't that nice?
You read recently, in New Jersey, where tremendous numbers of people were found out that they were on the voter rolls totally illegally, and that's all over the country. That's nothing compared to what's going on in California and Minnesota and so many other States.
And hopefully, there will be no mail-in ballots—mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt—except for illness, disability, military deployment, or travel. If you're in the military, you're far away, absolutely. If you have to go someplace, absolutely.
But mail-in ballots have proven to be a disaster. We're the only country in the world that, in this form, does them. There's no other country in the world, because they're crooked. They pass through too many hands. When you go to a voter booth—even me; I went to vote—"Sir, may I please see your identification? Sir, I'm so embarrassed. I know you're Trump. Please, do you have some identification? I don't want to lose my job." [ Laughter ] I whipped out—I was lucky; I had some kind of a card on me. I didn't—I didn't even know, but I gave it. You know, it was: "Thank you, sir. I'm so embarrassed." She kept apologize—I said: "Don't apologize. You're doing your job. That's what you're supposed to be doing." It was so beautiful.
And we will enshrine in permanent law—where we had a big Supreme Court victory the other day, but not complete—no men in women's sports—and no transgender surgery and the mutilization of your children. They mutilize your children.
So ladies and gentlemen of Michigan, the golden age of America is upon us. We're in the golden age. This is an age like no other.
And the men and women of the American auto industry and General Motors are leading the way. And I'm so proud of it because, as Brian and others in the room know, I fought for this for years. I was here 25 years ago. I got "Man of the Year."
They—oh, by the way, the press questioned that, and then they found out it was true, actually. [ Laughter ] And I made a speech, and all I talked about was why are you letting them steal your auto industry. I said your auto industry is being stolen. It's going to Germany and Mexico and Japan and South Korea and Canada. Why are you letting it happen? They sold over 50 percent.
It's all coming back. Who would think? It's all coming back. It's all coming back right now. More plants being built than at any time in the history of our country.
With your help and patriots all across this magnificent land, we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.
Thank you, Michigan. Thank you very much. God bless you all. Thank you very much. Thank you.
