God speaks. “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” – Isaiah 1:18 ESV, Bible Hub. “Come let us reason together.” Reasoning, respectful and even robust discussion, is within the abilities given by God to humanity. NBC News aptly described “gaslighting” in these terms: “’Gaslighting’ is when someone leads you to question your own reality.” Left-leaning Wikipedia elaborates: “The term [gaslighting] may also be used to describe a person who presents a false narrative to another group or person which leads them to doubt their perceptions and become misled, disoriented or distressed.”

Philosophers and prophets have said for thousands of years that the explanation for the existence of the universe is an all-powerful Creator. While the Creator of all things – often referred to in English as God – has given humanity free will, that doesn’t mean that God has no influence with His Creation. Scripture says that God can raise up and remove leaders. That can be done by the Creator without violating humanity’s free will.

The prophet Daniel was inspired by God to interpret a royal dream he saw in a vision. Daniel was inspired to say this to the ruler of his day: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him. ²¹ He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. ²² He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.” Daniel 2:20b-22, Berean Study Bible, Bible Hub.

So, God has and still can pick the unlikely throughout the ages to do various tasks, including that of leadership. That divine selection of someone to do a task doesn’t mean that the person selected is perfect or without sin. Again, by definition – with rare but obvious exceptions – “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23, NIV).

Deceptions have long been condemned by God.

One of the Ten Commandments is a prohibition against giving a “false witness,” (Exodus 20:16) which is a description for lying or some other type of deception. Note that it specifically says “against your neighbor.” Left-leaning Wikipedia says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness” forbids: “1. Speaking falsely in any matter, lying, equivocating, and any way devising and designing to deceive our neighbour. 2. Speaking unjustly against our neighbour, to the prejudice of his reputation; and (which involves the guilty of both).”

Who decides what is just or not? That standard is set by God. Humans are prudent to learn, know, and then follow Divine law.  Because failure to do so leads to a range of evils and harmful situations. Such are all too evident in our times.

Before getting to the headlines in this Sunday weekly review for the week that was, this post will consider two items in the headline. The first is from left-leaning CNN.

 

CNN’s Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

Updated 9:38 AM ET, Sat February 26, 2022

“A brutal poll number for Joe Biden

In a new NPR/PBS/Marist College poll, more than half — 56% — of Americans said that Biden’s first year in office was a “failure,” while just 39% described it as a success.

The news doesn’t get better the more you dig into the survey. Two-thirds of independents said Biden’s first year was a failure, while more than 9 in 10 Republicans (91%) agreed with that assessment.

Biden’s numbers are better among Democrats — 80% called year one a success — but 15% of members of his own party described his first year in office as a failure.”

On the left-right media scale, CNN is generally a pro-Democratic, pro-left leaning source.

Cillizza suggested that given time, history might be kinder to Biden in hindsight. But he also noted that elections are binary choices. Someone votes for a Democrat or Republican. Someone sees the president or other official as doing a good job, or a bad one. Then voters vote accordingly. With some 30 Democrats having announced their retirement in the House already, voices in both major parties expect 2022 to be a tough year for Democrats, unless something positive – and/or a major distraction – comes around.

So, while Cillizza’s scenario that time might be kinder to the common assessment of Biden’s first year is possible, a rundown of what’s occurred in the U.S. since he moved into the White House is a laundry list of problematic foreign and domestic policy outcomes.

Per surveys, for many, inflation is the top domestic issue. Inflation is at levels not seen in 40 years.

Again, polling reveals that the southern border is an issue for tens of millions of Americans, including for Hispanic voters who are in America legally. Officially 2 million have illegally entered the U.S. under Biden’s watch.

Afghanistan is widely seen as a disastrous and embarrassing withdrawal.

The handling of the Russian aggression against Ukrainian is also producing thumbs down polling outcomes for Biden.

Like it or not, Washington, D.C. politics impacts our nation and our profession for good, meh, or ill.

MHProNews has often referred to Chris Stinebert, former Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) President and CEO’s departing message in favorable ways. But arguably one oddity was his advice on not looking too much to Washington. Given that the industry is heavily federally regulated, engagement with D.C. is unavoidable. That said, perhaps Stinebert was saying that states could be used to pressure the feds to do their jobs as various favorable laws mandates?

“During my time at MHI, I was often asked the same question, “What must happen for business to return – for manufactured housing to begin growing again?” My stock answer would usually start with ‘financing’ and end with a general comment about the need to bring ‘value’ to our customers.” – Chris Stinebert. Hmm…add in the need to overcome zoning and placement barriers, and that would be as applicable today as it was some 15 years ago.  So, what’s holding Stinebert’s former colleagues up? Aren’t the laws and resources needed to accomplish those tasks already available? Hold those thoughts, and press on to Trump’s CPAC 2022 speech in Orlando last night.

 

Trump’s CPAC 2022 Address

The following is a transcript generated by CSPAN’s close captioning system. Someone doesn’t have to be a fan of deposed 45^th President Donald J. Trump to recognize that in fairness, his views should be considered. ‘Come, let us reason together.’ (cf.: Isaiah 1:18). Some of what follows early on in his address of 2.26.2022 – which televised or livestreamed on Newsmax and CSPAN, among other places – are acknowledgments to various politicians and others in attendance. That too has a significance to the detail minded. But the bulk of the address has to do with current and recent events. He made his most suggestive statements yet that he plans to run again in 2024, after he hopes to recapture the U.S. House and Senate. Truth Social, the need to break up Big Tech and to establish a more honest media are just some of the themes tackled. Perhaps surprisingly to some, he said he wished Biden would succeed. His reasoning was plain. He wants what’s good for America, and if Biden were successful on behalf of Americans, that would be good for America.

[BOOING] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: CHINA IS THREATENING TAIWAN, RUSSIA IS DECIMATING UKRAINE. IRAN IS ON THE CUSP OF A NUCLEAR BOMB. WE ENDED THE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS DEAL I EVER HAVE SEEN AND NOTHING TO GO BACK TO THE — THAT IS WHEN IT WAS, A SURRENDER FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. WE WANTED TO GET OUT BUT WE HAD TO GET OUT WITH STRENGTH AND DIGNITY. AND A MAJOR WAR IN EUROPE MAY VERY WELL ERUPT. THAT IS HOW THEY START. EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY. THIS IS HOW THEY START. JOE BIDEN HAS TURNED TO INTO CHAOS, COMPETENCE INTO INCOMPETENCE, STABILITY INTO ANARCHY AND SECURITY INTO CATASTROPHE. THE RUSSIAN ATTACK ON UKRAINE IS APPALLING. IT IS AN OUTRAGE AND AN ATROCITY THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO OCCUR.

UNDER BIDEN, RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE. I STAND AS THE ONLY PRESIDENT OF THE 21ST CENTURY ON WHOSE WATCH RUSSIA DID NOT INVADE ANOTHER COUNTRY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHANTING USA] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU. I GAVE UKRAINE THE JAVELINS EVERYONE IS NOW TALKING ABOUT, AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OTHER MILITARY EQUIPMENT. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION GAVE THEM BLANKETS. THEY SAID WE NEED MORE THAN BLANKETS. NO, WE GIVE YOU BLANKETS. THEY SENT THEM BLANKETS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UNDER OUR LEADERSHIP, THE WORLD WAS A PEACEFUL PLACE BECAUSE AMERICA WAS STRONG AND THE PERCEPTION OF OUR COUNTRY WAS PERHAPS LIKE IT HAD NEVER BEEN BEFORE. POWERFUL, CUNNING AND SMART. WE WERE A SMART COUNTRY. NOW WE ARE AS STUPID COUNTRY. WE ALWAYS VERY SIMPLY PUT AMERICA FIRST. THAT WAS THE ANSWER. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: WITH THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS WE HAD PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WE HAD PEACE IN EUROPE. CHINA KNEW IT COULD NO LONGER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNITED STATES. AND I WAS PROUD TO BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT IN DECADES WHO DID NOT GET OUR COUNTRY INTO ANY WARS. I GOT YOU OUT OF WARS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UNDER OUR ADMINISTRATION, RUSSIA RESPECTED AMERICA JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY RESPECTED AMERICA. AND THEY REALLY RESPECTED US A LOT. BUT NOW JOE BIDEN HAS SEEN DUTCH IS SEEN AS A WEEK AND I HATE TO SAY IT, BECAUSE I WANT HIM TO DO A GREAT JOB, I REALLY WANT HIM TO, POLITICALLY I DON’T CARE. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE HIM DO A GREAT JOB THAT A POOR JOB, BUT NOBODY COULD EVER BELIEVE HOW BAD AND WEAK AND GROSSLY INCOMPETENT IT HAS BEEN. AND A PRESIDENT WHO IS NOT RESPECTED BY OTHER NATIONS, HAVE A CHAOTIC WORLD. THE WORLD HAS NOT BEEN THIS CHAOTIC SINCE WORLD WAR II, I THINK WE CAN SAY THAT. WE CAN SAY THAT VERY STRONGLY. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT PRESIDENT PUTIN MADE HIS DECISION TO RUTHLESSLY ATTACK UKRAINE ONLY AFTER WATCHING THE PATHETIC WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN WHERE THE MILITARY WAS TAKEN OUT FIRST, SOLDIERS WERE KILLED AND AMERICAN HOSTAGES MOST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF THE FINEST EQUIPMENT LEFT IN THE WORLD LIVE BEHIND. YESTERDAY REPORTERS ASKED ME IF I THOUGHT PRESIDENT PUTIN WAS SMART. I SAID OF COURSE HE IS SMART, TO WHICH I WAS GREETED WITH THAT IS SUCH A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY. I WOULD LIKE TO TELL THAT YES, HE IS SMART. THE NATO NATIONS AND INDEED THE WORLD, AS HE LOOKS OVER WHAT IS HAPPENING STRATEGICALLY WITH NO REPERCUSSIONS OR THREATS WHATSOEVER, THEY ARE NOT SO SMART. THEY ARE LOOKING THE OPPOSITE OF SMART. IF YOU TAKE OVER UKRAINE, WE ARE GOING TO SANCTION YOU. THEY SAY. SANCTION? THAT IS A WEAK STATEMENT. COULDN’T SAYS THEY HAVE SANCTION ME FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS, I CAN TAKE OVER A WHOLE COUNTRY AND THEY’RE GOING TO SANCTION ME? THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BLOW US TO PIECES AT LEAST PSYCHOLOGICALLY? THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT PUTIN IS SMART, WHICH OF COURSE HE IS SMART, BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT OUR LEADERS ARE DUMB. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: SO DUMB. THEY SO FAR ALLOWED HIM TO GET AWAY WITH THIS TRAVESTY AND ASSAULT ON HUMANITY. THAT’S WHAT IT IS. AND ASSAULT ON HUMANITY. SO SAD. PRUDENT — PUTIN IS PLAYING BIDEN LIKE A DRUM AND IT IS NOT A PRETTY THING IS SOMEBODY THAT LOVES OUR COUNTRY TO WATCH. IT IS NOT A PRETTY THING TO WATCH. I WAS WITH PUTIN A LOT, I GOT ALONG WITH HIM, I GOT ALONG WITH PRESIDENT XI JINPING, I GOT ALONG WITH KIM JONG-UN. IT IS A GOOD THING TO GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE. YOU CAN BE VERY TOUGH AND GET ALONG. I AM THE ONE THAT ENDED HIS PIPELINE. HE SAID YOU ARE KILLING ME WITH THE PIPELINE. NOBODY ELSE ENDED HIS PIPELINE. BIDEN CAME IN AND HE APPROVED IT. I DID A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE VERY TOUGH ON RUSSIA. NO PRECEDENT WAS EVER AS TOUGH ON RUSSIA AS I WAS AND THE FAKE NEWS WOULD SAY TRUMP LOVES RUSSIA, WE HAD THE RUSSIA HOAX WHICH IS NOW WITH DURHAM AND MULLER AND THE REST, A TOTAL HOAX, FICTIONAL STORY. BUT WITH RESPECT TO WHAT IS GOING ON NOW, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY FOR ME TO STOP THIS TRAVESTY FROM HAPPENING. HE UNDERSTOOD ME AND HE UNDERSTOOD THAT I DID NOT PLAY GAMES. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. SOMEDAY I WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. BUT WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND HE DID HAVE AN AFFINITY, THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, FOR UKRAINE. I SAID NEVER LET IT HAPPEN. YOU BETTER NOT LET IT HAPPEN. THE ONLY ATTACK IN HISTORY WHERE THE FURTHER HE GOES IN THE BIGGER IT GETS AND THE WORSE IT GETS, THE MORE MONEY HE GETS BECAUSE OIL PRICES KEEP CLIMBING HIGHER. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT WHERE A WARRING NATION , THE MORE HE MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GET OIL, THE MORE EXPENSIVE IT GETS AND THE MORE MONEY HE MAKES. AND ALL OF THOSE TANKS ROAMING AROUND ARE VERY EXPENSIVE BUT THEY ARE PEANUTS COMPARED TO THE KIND OF MONEY HE IS MAKING BECAUSE OF THE TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN OIL. WHEN I LEFT, AND DURING MY TORN — TEMERM, OIL WAS AT $36. NOW IT HIT 100 ANYTHING IT’S GOING TO $150. SO THE MIDDLE EAST AND SAUDI ARABIA, THEY ARE MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THEY EVER DREAMT POSSIBLE. THE COST OF THE WAR IS VERY SMALL COMPARED TO THE KIND OF MONEY THEY ARE TAKING IN. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SITUATION LIKE THAT. IT IS HORRIBLE TO WATCH. IT IS HORRIBLE BECAUSE IT IS A DISINCENTIVE FOR HIM TO DISENGAGE. JOANN HUNTER BIDEN GOT $3.5 MILLION FROM THE MAYOR OF MOSCOW’S WIFE AND WERE NEVER ALLOWED TO EXPLAIN IN THE DEBATE. A MEMBER WE HAD THE DEBATE AND I SAID WHAT YOU DO WITH THE $3.5 MILLION HE GOT FROM THE MAYOR OF MOSCOW’S WIFE AND CHRIS WALLACE, WHO I ASSUME IT WAS FIRED FROM FOX, WHICH IS GOOD — [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: HE SAID THAT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION. THAT TURNED OUT TO BE ANOTHER ONE TRUMP WAS RIGHT. ANOTHER VERY APPROPRIATE QUESTION. HE GOT $3.5 MILLION FROM THE MAYOR OF MOSCOW’S WIFE, A VERY RICH FAMILY I WILL TELL YOU THAT. THIS IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, JOE BIDEN BRAGGED UNKNOWINGLY ON TAPE, CAN YOU IMAGINE IF I SAID IT? ABOUT GETTING RID OF A UKRAINIAN PROSECUTOR OR HE WOULD NOT ALLOW $1 BILLION IN TAXPAYER MONEY TO BE GIVEN TO UKRAINE. THEY KEPT SAYING WHERE’S THE MONEY? THEY SAID YOU’VE GOT TO GET RID OF THAT PROSECUTOR, YOU’RE GETTING TOO CLOSE. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF I DO THAT? AND HE WAS ON TAPE. IN THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA, THOSE PEOPLE REFUSED TO REPORT IT. [BOOING] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: THAT IS WITHOUT MENTIONING THE FACT THAT CHINA GAVE THEM $1.5 BILLION TO MANAGE AND HE NEVER MANAGED MONEY BEFORE OTHER THAN THE MONEY THAT GOT, PROBABLY. PLENTY OF CONFLICTS THERE. HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT AND THE FAKE NEWS DID NOT WANT TO MENTION ANYTHING, THEY DID NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. IT WAS BAD FOR THE ELECTION, IT WAS BAD FOR THE COUNTRY BUT THEY PROBABLY KNEW TALKING ABOUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD. WE CAN NEVER REALLY GET OUR COUNTRY BACK UNLESS WE GET AN HONEST MEDIA, BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKE THE POLICING AGENTS. THEY REFUSE TO AIR SCANDAL. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT THREE WEEKS OR FOUR WEEKS AS ONE OF THE WORST SCANDALS EVER, I CALL IT THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY. BALLOT HARVESTING IS RELEASED AND IT IS ALL ON TAPE. ENTER TRUTH TO VOTE, I WANT TO THINK THERE’S A CREDIBLE WOMEN FOR THE JOB, CATHERINE AND ALL OF THEM FOR THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE. THAT WILL BE RELEASED FIRST. EVERYTHING IS ON TAPE, EVEN THE PICTURES OF THEM STUFFING THE BALLOT BOXES. BECAUSE WITHOUT THE PICTURES THEY DON’T GET PAID. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VOTES IN EACH SWING STATE. THE FOCUS ON THE SWING STATES AND THEY PROBABLY DID OTHERS, TOO. BUT THE SWING STATE WAS THE FOCUS. OVER THE PAST YEAR WE HAVE SEEN WEAKNESS, SELF-LOATHING AND SELF-DESTRUCTION ON A SCALE PREVIOUSLY UNTHINKABLE. A MILITARY OBSESSED WITH EQUITY TO ALL AND ONLY BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT. I SAID LET ME ASK YOU, IS A GENERAL, A GOOD, STRONG GENERAL, GENERAL PATTON, HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD LIKE THIS MILITARY? GENERAL MACARTHUR, GENERAL PATTON BE ALLOWED TO SHOUT AT A PRIVATE WHO WAS DOING A HORRIBLE THING?

[00:33:11] WE DON’T –

[00:33:13] WE DON’T THINK THAT’S ” WE THINK OUTSIDE APPROPRIATE.” THAT WOULD NOT WORK OUT TOO WELL. THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY ACTIVELY AIDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND IN MANY CASES CRIMINALS COMING IN. ABSOLUTE CRIMINALS. THE DEPENDENT OF ENERGY AND INTERIOR FORCING US TO BE RELIANT ON FOREIGN ENERGY AT A COST THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO OUR NATION, AND NOT SUSTAINABLE. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WAGING WAR ON AN OPPOSING PARTY AND PATRIOTIC PARENTS. AS RAVE AS THE DANGERS ARE ABROAD, IT IS WITHIN THAT’S TELLS OUR DUMA. — SPELLS OUR DOOM. OUR MOST DANGEROUS PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE FROM WITHIN. THEY ARE PEOPLE THAT MUST HATE OUR COUNTRY. THEY MAKE US WEAK AND THEY MAKE OUR COUNTRY UNSUSTAINABLE AS THE NATION ITSELF. UNBELIEVABLY, BIDEN IS NOW CLAIMING THAT YOU MUST SACRIFICE THROUGH HIGHER ENERGY PRICES TO FOOT THE COST OF HIS FAILED FOREIGN POLICY IN EUROPE. I SAW JOHN KERRY ON TELEVISION TALKING ABOUT ENERGY, WE NEED OIL, WE NEED GAS, WE NEED EVERYTHING. NO, NO, NO. NO, GLOBAL WARMING. GLOBAL WARMING. WE HAVE A WORLD THAT IS READY TO BLOW UP AND DISINTEGRATE OVER ENERGY AND HE IS TALKING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING, THE OCEANS MAY RISE OVER THE NEXT 300 YEARS ONE 100TH OF AN INCH. GIVING YOU SLIGHTLY MORE SEAFRONT PROPERTY. AND THIS IS HIS PROBLEM. HE IS NOT THINKING ABOUT THE NUCLEAR WARMING, HE IS THINKING ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF WARMING. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT LIVING IN A WORLD OF REALITY. THE REASON WE HAVE GOT SOARING GAS PRICES IS THAT BIDEN SHUT DOWN AMERICAN ENERGY, CANCELED OUR ORIOLE AND GAS LEASES JUST TWO — OUR OIL AND GAS LEASES JUST TWO DAYS AGO. THEY CANCELED MANY OIL AND GAS LEASES BECAUSE OF THE ENVIRONMENT JUST TWO DAYS AGO. THEY CANCELED THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE THAT I APPROVED, WHILE THEY ENRICHED PUTIN BY APPROVING THE RUSSIAN PIPELINE, WHICH HAS BEEN AT THE CORE OF MUCH OF THE PROBLEM WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. AND I FOUGHT ANGELA MERKEL, I SAID HERE IS A WHITE FLAG, A WHITE NAPKIN THAT WAS ON MY DESK, I SAID ANGELA, YOU CAN HAVE IT. SHE SAID BUT WHY? I SAID BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING 75%, I THINK IT IS HIGHER THAN THAT, 75% OF YOUR ENERGY FROM RUSSIA. AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THROUGH HISTORY, YOU HAD SOME ROGER DUST RATHER MAJOR CONFLICT WITH RUSSIA. — RATHER MAJOR CONFLICTS WITH RUSSIA. IF YOU EVER HAVE A CONFLICT WITH RUSSIA YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WAIVE THE FLAG AND SURRENDERED BECAUSE THEY SUPPLY YOUR ENERGY. I KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN. I JUST NEVER HAD ANY IDEA IT WOULD HAPPEN SO FAST. PLEADING WITH OPEC AND BEGGING IRAN TO REJOIN THE DISASTROUS NUCLEAR DEAL. [BOOING] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: WITH BIDEN YOU GET A WAR IN EUROPE AND A WAR ON AMERICAN ENERGY. WITH REPUBLICANS YOU GET ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND ENERGY DOMINANCE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: WE WILL RECLAIM OUR STATUS AS THE NUMBER ONE ENERGY SUPERPOWER ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. SOMETHING I HAD ACHIEVED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 72 YEARS. I WAS VERY PROUD OF THAT. THEY ENDED IT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRONGER THAN RUSSIA AND SAUDI ARABIA COMBINED TIMES TWO IN ONE YEAR. WE WERE ALREADY BIGGER, WE WERE DOING THINGS WE HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE. AND WE SHOULD NOT BE BUYING RUSSIAN ENERGY, BUT RATHER ALLOW THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY TO START PRODUCING LIKELY DID JUST ONE YEAR AGO. THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. THIS WILL DRIVE PRICES DOWN, DRIVE INFLATION DOWN. YOU WANT TO GET RID OF INFLATION OR BRING IT WAY DOWN, REDUCE THE COST OF ENERGY. THAT IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST FACTOR HAVING TO DO WITH INFLATION. AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN UKRAINE IS A CATASTROPHIC DISASTER, BUT IT ISN’T REALLY THAT INTERESTING THAT SO MANY DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON SEEM TO BE RUSHING TO MICROPHONES TO DECLARE THAT UKRAINE’S BORDERS ARE SACRED. THEY WANT TO SAY THERE BORDERS ARE SACRED AND WE FEEL FOR UKRAINE IN SO MANY WAYS, BUT UKRAINE’S SOVEREIGNTY MUST BE DEFENDED AT ALL COSTS, THEY SAY. EVEN WHILE THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR OWN BORDERS AND SURRENDERING OUR OWN SOVEREIGNTY. WE HAVE A BORDER THAT IS A CATASTROPHE. WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY THAT WE DON’T WANT. THEY WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY. YOU WILL BE PAYING A PRICE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. WE HAVE TERRORISTS THAT CAME OUT OF AFGHANISTAN WITH THE PLAN. THEY SAID THE PLANES ARE COMING IN. THE PEOPLE THAT RUSH THE PLANES ARE VERY ENERGETIC PEOPLE. THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT YOU WILL BE PAYING A BIG PRICE FOR IN YEARS TO COME. THE MOST IMPORTANT DUTY OF EVERY ELECTED LAWMAKER IS TO PROTECT AND DEFEND AMERICA AND THAT BEGINS WITH PROTECTING AND DEFENDING OUR BORDERS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: UNDER JOE BIDEN WE ARE LOSING OUR COUNTRY NO DIFFERENT THAN IF WE HAD LOST IT IN A WAR. NO DIFFERENT. NO DIFFERENT. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE POURING IN, DESCENDING ON OUR COMMUNITIES, CAMPING, DEPLETING OUR RESOURCES, FLOUTING OUR LAWS AND BRINGING CRIME, DRUGS AND DEATH TO THE STREETS OF OUR CITIES AND COMMUNITIES. AND THEY ARE NOT ONLY COMING FROM CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA, THEY ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, OVER 160 COUNTRIES. IN MANY COUNTRIES FROM JAILS THAT ARE BEING EMPTIED INTO OUR COUNTRY AS THOUGH WE ARE A DUMPING GROUND. WE ARE NOT THE UNITED STATES, WE ARE CONSIDERED A DUMPING GROUND FOR CRIMINALS. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS SPENT MONTHS OBSESSING OVER HOW TO STOP AN INVASION OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY. I BELIEVE AMERICANS DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL STOP THE INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY ALSO. AND WE HAD IT STOPPED. WE HAD IT STOPPED. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: WE HAD IT STOPPED ONE YEAR AGO. YOU CAN’T DEFEND WESTERN CIVILIZATION IF YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DEFEND YOUR OWN CIVILIZATION, AND THAT MEANS WE NEED BORDERS THAT WORK, ELECTIONS THAT ARE FAIR AND FREE AND NOT RAKED AND CRIME THAT MUST BE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED IN OUR CITIES. AND WE MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP THE INFLUX OF ILLEGAL ALIENS. IT HAS TO STOP MEDIALLY. OUR COUNTRY IS BEING POISONED FROM WITHIN. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CARES MORE ABOUT HELPING CITIZENS OF A DISTANT FOREIGN NATION THAN IT DOES ABOUT OUR OWN CITIZENS, BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY IS A MESS. OUR COUNTRY IS A DANGEROUS PLACE. EDIT IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERY DAY. AND WHEN YOU HEAR 3 MILLION PEOPLE THIS YEAR, IT’S NOT 3 MILLION. IT’S PROBABLY THREE TO FOUR TIMES THAT NUMBER. IT’S PROBABLY 10 MILLION, 11 MILLION OR 12 MILLION. BUT THE REAL TRUTH IS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. YET IF THE RADICAL DEMOCRATS TRULY WANT TO FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY, IF THEY WANT TO LOOK ABROAD AND FIGHT FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO FIGHT FOR, WHICH I DON’T THINK THEY DO, THEY SHOULD START WITH THE DEMOCRACY THAT IS UNDER THREAT RIGHT NEXT-DOOR. A PLACE CALLED CANADA. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: WHERE, BY THE WAY, WE GOT RID OF NAFTA. WE HAVE THE USMCA, EXPO IN CANADA. AND GREATEST DEALS YOU’VE EVER MADE AND IT’S GREAT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO RENEGOTIATE THE DEAL. THAT WAS A HORRIBLE DEAL. NAFTA WAS THE WORST DEAL EVER MADE AND NOW WE HAVE PROBABLY THE BEST TRADE DEAL EVER MADE. THEY WANT TO NEGOTIATE AND THEY PROBABLY WILL DO IT. THIS ADMINISTRATION, SURE, THEY ARE NOT PUTTING AMERICA FIRST. WE ARE PUTTING AMERICA FIRST. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: THEY HAVE BEEN RIPPING US OFF FOR 30 YEARS AND IT’S TIME FOR US TO DO WELL. THE TYRANNY IN CANADA IN RECENT WEEKS SHOULD SHOCK AND DISMAY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. IN AN ADVANCED WESTERN DEMOCRACY, THE PEACEFUL MOVEMENT OF PATRIOTIC TRUCKERS, WORKERS AND FAMILIES PROTESTING FOR THEIR MOST BASIC RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES HAS BEEN VOTED DOWN. THEIR ASSETS AND LIFE SAVINGS HAVE BEEN FROZEN. THEY HAVE BEEN SLANDERED AS NAZIS, RACIST AND TERRORISTS. THESE ARE NAMES THEY HAVE BEEN CALLED. THEY HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH PHONY CRIMES. THEY HAVE BEEN FALSELY ACCUSED OF LOYALTY TO FOREIGN POWERS. I WATCHED THEM. I SAW THE MAPLE LEAFS ALL OVER THE FLAGS, THEIR LOVE FOR THEIR COUNTRY. PLENTY OF AMERICANS WERE THERE TOO AND THEY LOVE OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE BEING HUNTED DOWN LIKE ENEMIES OF THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT, TREATED WORSE THAN DRUG DEALERS AND MURDERERS OR RAPISTS. A RYAN THAT SHANE LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED. HER WITH THE PEACEFUL — A LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED. YOU ARE WITH THE PEACEFUL TRUCKERS OR THE LEFT-WING FASCISTS AND IT IS A LONG LINE. WE STAND WITH THE TRUCKERS AND THE CANADIAN PEOPLE IN THEIR NOBLE QUEST TO RECLAIM THEIR FREEDOM. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU LINDA. RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN NATION, IT IS ALSO FAR PAST TIME TO DECLARE INDEPENDENCE FROM EVERY LAST MANDATE. IT IS TIME. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: AND AS EARLY AS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, THE GOVERNORS MADE THAT DECISION AND WE HAD SOME GOVERNORS THAT DID A GREAT JOB AND SOME GOVERNORS THAT DID NOT DO A VERY GOOD JOB. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS DID QUITE WELL, THANK YOU. QUITE WELL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: AND A BIG DIFFERENCE ALSO ON CRIME. YOU LOOK AT WHERE THE CRIME IS AND YOU DON’T SEE THE WORD REPUBLICAN VERY MUCH IF AT ALL. WITH ONE VOICE AMERICANS MUST INSIST THAT THE EMERGENCY IS OVER AND WE WILL SUBMIT TO THIS LEFT-WING TYRANNY NO LONGER. WE WILL NOT DO IT ANY LONGER. BECAUSE THEY ARE CAUSING SO MUCH DAMAGE TO PEOPLE AND OUR CHILDREN. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MASKING OUR CHILDREN MAY PLAN TO MISS — WITH THOSE MAYDAYS RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION THINKING THEY WILL GET SOME VOTES, THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO OUR CHILDREN. WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AT THE BALLOT BOX THIS NOVEMBER. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: AS EVERYONE HERE UNDERSTANDS THE COVID MANDATES ARE JUST ONE PART OF A MUCH LARGER CRISIS. THE RADICAL LEFT IS TRYING TO REPLACE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY WITH WOKE TYRANNY. THEY WANT TO DO THE SAME THING TO AMERICA THAT TRUDEAU HAS BEEN DOING TO CANADA. WHAT, MUCH WORSE. — BUT MUCH, MUCH WORSE. [BOOING] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: OUR MISSION IN 2022 AND 2024 IS TO TAKE ON THE POWER-HUNGRY RULING CLASS AND DELIVER THEM IN ELECTORAL DEFEAT SO RESOUNDING THAT THEY ARE EXILED INTO POLITICAL OBLIVION, NEVER EVER TO RETURN AGAIN. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHANTING USA] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: JOE BIDEN, CHUCK SCHUMER AND CRAZY NANCY PELOSI ARE THE SINISTER FACES OF THIS CORRUPT AND LAWLESS POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT. THEY ENRICH THEIR FAMILIES IN UKRAINE, CHINA, RUSSIA WHILE THEY SHUDDER YOUR SMALL BUSINESSES RIGHT HERE AT HOME. THEY SEND YOUNG AMERICANS TO FIGHT AND DIE FOR THE BORDERS OF DISTANT FOREIGN NATIONS WHILE THEY THROW OUR BORDERS OPEN TO ANY LEGAL FOREIGN INVASION WHICH IS WHAT IS HAPPENING. THEY SET VIOLENT CRIMINALS LOSE WITHOUT CHARGES WHILE PROSECUTING THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS FOR FABRICATED CRIMES. THEY LEGALIZE MASS ROBBERIES AND CHEER FOR BLM AND ANTIFA RIOTERS, RANSACKING OUR CITIES WHILE THEY HOLD NONVIOLENT PROTESTERS WITHOUT TRIAL AND DESTROY THEIR LIVES. THEY SANCTION AND DESTROY OUR OWN CITIZENS. THEY TRY TO SILENCE VOICES LIKE JOE ROGAN FOR ALLEGED MISINFORMATION WHILE THEY PERPETUATE THE MOST FLAGRANT HOAXES AND MONSTROUS LIES LIKE THE RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA HOECHST. — HOAX. FOR THREE YEARS WE HAD TO PUT UP WITH THE HOAX. IT WAS A TOTAL HOAX. THEY INDOCTRINATE YOUR CHILDREN TO HENNY — HATE THEIR PARENTS WHILE CALLING YOU A HATEFUL RACIST. THEY STICK THE FBI ON MOTHERS AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS WHILE THEY TEACH FOUR-YEAR-OLDS TO PICK THEIR OWN GENDERS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR GENDER? [BOOING] FRM. PRES. TRUMP: AND THEY SAY IT IS ABSOLUTELY THEY SAY IT IS ABSOLUTELY FINE FOR A BOY OR MAN TO PARTICIPATE IN WOMEN’S SPORTS. I DON’T THINK SO. THEY USE BIG TECH TO CENSOR YOU, THEY USE THE DEEP STATE TO SPY ON YOU, THEY USE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TO FRAME YOU, THEY USE THE MEDIA TO SLANDER YOU, THEY USE THE LEGAL SYSTEM TO PERSECUTE YOU. THEY RIG ELECTIONS TO DISENFRANCHISE YOU AND DESTROY YOU AND RUIN YOUR LIVES. I HAVE SEEN THE ANGER AND THE HATRED AND THE HORROR AT THE 2020 ELECTION. ALL WHILE THEY CLAIM THEY ARE THE ONES DEFENDING DEMOCRACY. THEY SAY THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WILL DEFEND YOUR DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE. IT IS A LOT OF BULL–, THAT IS WHAT IT IS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WHEN WE WIN, WE WILL DEFEAT THIS CORRUPT POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT, WE WILL SAVE OUR REPUBLIC AND WE WILL RESTORE CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT OF, BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THE WASHINGTON SWAMP KNOWS WE ARE COMING TO BREAK THEIR GRIP ON POWER FOREVER. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SO DESPERATE TO STOP US. THEY WILL GO TO ANY LENGTHS. THAT IS WHY THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT PROSECUTORS AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNSELECT COMMITTEE — CAN YOU IMAGINE A COMMITTEE MADE OF THESE THUGS? THEY HATE US ALL. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A COMMITTEE LIKE THIS? THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE, I THINK THAT IS MY TERM, I THINK I CAME UP WITH IT FIRST, I AM VERY PROUD. THEY ARE CONTINUING THEIR EVIL AND DEMENTED PERSECUTION OF ME, MY FAMILY, MY STAFF, MY SUPPORTERS, AND YOU. IT IS THE SAME WITCHHUNT THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY ONE, SINCE THE DAY I CAME DOWN THE ESCALATOR WITH OUR GREAT FUTURE FIRST LADY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] NOW WE KNOW THAT CROOKED HILLARY NOT ONLY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, SHE SPIED ON THE WHITE HOUSE. [BOOING] [CROWD CHANTING] DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I SAID YEARS AGO, I THINK THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN? AND EVERYBODY SAID ON THE OTHERS, HOW DARE HE SAY THAT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE. I WANT TO THANK JOHN DURHAM FOR FIGURING THAT OUT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I BELIEVE THAT IS JUST THE FOUNDATION ON WHICH A LOT OF VERY BAD THINGS WILL BE LEARNED ABOUT WHAT TOOK PLACE. EVERYTHING THEY ARE DOING TO ME IS ABOUT PRESERVING THEIR POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. IF I RENOUNCE MY BELIEFS, IF I AGREE TO STAY SILENT, IF I STAYED AT HOME — I SAID I AM NOT GOING TO RUN. THE PERSECUTION WOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY. THEY WOULD GO ON TO THE NEXT VICTIM. WHO IS NEXT? BUT THEY WILL NEVER, EVER DO WHAT THEY DID TO ME, AND NOBODY ELSE WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE IT IF THEY DID. I HAVE HAD THAT A LOT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I HAVE HAD GREAT PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND TELL ME, SIR, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW? SIR, HOW DID YOU TAKE IT? HOW DID YOU TAKE IT? HOW DID YOU TAKE WHAT THEY DID TO YOU? IN MANY WAYS, I CANNOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER DONE TO AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT BEFORE. BUT I CAN’T DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE I LOVE THIS COUNTRY. WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND WE ARE GOING TO BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK AND IT WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT REMEMBER, THEY ARE COMING AFTER ME BECAUSE I AM STANDING UP FOR YOU. THAT IS IT, I AM STANDING UP FOR YOU. IN 2022, WE ARE TAKING ON THIS WRETCHED AND CORRUPT POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE, AND WE HAVE LEARNED A LOT OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. WE HAVE LEARNED HOW CORRUPT THEY ARE, NOBODY COULD BELIEVE IT. IF YOU WROTE A BOOK OR NOVEL AND IT WAS PRINTED OUT LIKE THIS WITH CROOKED HILLARY, WITH THE MUELLER REPORT — WHICH WAS OK, WE LIKE IT, THEY FOUND NO COLLUSION. BUT WITH ALL OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN, THE HORRIBLE THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN, THE CORRUPTION, THE SPYING — IT WAS SPYING, PROBABLY WORSE THAN SPYING, IT IS TREASON. IF ANYBODY EVER WROTE A NOVEL, THE GREAT JAMES PATTERSON, IF HE WROTE A NOVEL LIKE THIS, IT WOULD NIGHT CELL — IT WOULD NOT SELL BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD SAY IT IS NOT BELIEVABLE. IT IS WORSE, THEY ARE FINDING OUT THINGS THEY DID NOT THINK WERE POSSIBLE. WE ARE GOING TO END NANCY PELOSI’S POLITICAL CAREER ONCE AND FOR ALL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO KICK THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT EVEN OUR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, AND IT IS SAD TO SAY THIS, ARE AFRAID TO DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE TRYING SO DESPERATELY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT AND TO BE LOVED BY ALL. THESE ARE THE JUSTICES OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF THE RADICAL LEFT. THEY ARE AFRAID OF PACKING THE COURT SO THAT THEY ARE ONLY ONE OF 15, 19 OR EVEN 25 JUSTICES, AND THEY DON’T WANT TO BE IMPEACHED — PLEASE DON’T IMPEACH ME, I AM A SUPREME COURT JUDGE, PLEASE DON’T IMPEACH ME, I AM A JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT, PLEASE DON’T IMPEACH ME FOR BEING A WOMAN I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE. [LAUGHTER] WOMEN HE DID NOT KNOW, WOMEN AT PARTICULAR JUSTICE CAVANAUGH — JUSTICE KAVANAUGH HAD NEVER HEARD OF. I BELIEVE HE IS AFRAID, I REALLY DO. YOU KNOW THE EXPRESSION, THEY PLAYED THE REF. THEY SAID NOT SO LONG AGO, WE ARE GOING TO IMPEACH HIM, THE WOMAN SAID HE NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG AND THEY SAID WE ARE GOING TO IMPEACH HIM ANYWAY. THESE ARE VICIOUS PEOPLE, THESE ARE VICIOUS PEOPLE. WE CANNOT LET THIS GO ON. THEY HAVE TO GAIN STRENGTH, THEY HAVE TO GAIN NEW COURAGE AND STAND UP FOR FREEDOM AND WHAT IS RIGHT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THEY CAN NO LONGER BE AFRAID OF THE RADICAL LEFT, OUR SUPREME COURT, AND OUR JUDGES GENERALLY. THE WORK OF MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE A BIG AND BOLD AGENDA THEY ARE GOING TO PUT INTO ACTION, UNDER A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS, AND WE HAVE A CHANCE OF SETTING RECORDS. BUT I DON’T WANT TO SAY THAT! I DON’T WANT TO SAY WE COULD WIN 65 SEATS BECAUSE IF WE WIN 64 THEY WILL SAY IT WAS A TERRIBLE NIGHT FOR TRUMP. HE WANTED 65. WE WILL BRING JOE BIDEN’S INFLATION CAUSING SOCIALIST SPENDING SPREE TO A SCREECHING HALT. WE WILL IMMEDIATELY BEGIN A FULL AUDIT OF THE $6 TRILLION OF RADICAL DEMOCRATS — THE MONEY HAS BEEN FLUSHED DOWN THE DRAIN AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MORE. THEY WANT TO GET TO A NUMBER NOBODY CAN BELIEVE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE PEOPLE WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT OUR COUNTRY TO BE DESTROYED. THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER, EVER IN THE SENATE GIVEN THAT TWO-MONTH STAY. YOU HAD THEM ON THE ROPES, YOU WERE GOING TO WIN, AND THEN MITCH MCCONNELL GAVE THEM A TWO-MONTH STAY. [BOOING] I CALL IT THE TWO MONTHS IN WHICH THEY CAN GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. THEN THEY VOTED FOR THE — I CALL IT THE UNINFRASTRUCTURE BILL. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE INFRASTRUCTURE. MOST OF IT IS THROWING THE MONEY OUT OF THE WINDOW. THEY VOTED WE HAD SOME REPUBLICANS, HEADED BY MITCH MCCONNELL, HE IS SO BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW WHERE DID ALL OF THE MONEY GO? WE MUST TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO FIGHT THE VIOLENT CRIME WAVE THAT IS DEVASTATING OUR CITIZENS IN DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES. YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON IN CHICAGO. SO SAD. AND AFGHANISTAN. I HAD A MEETING WITH ABDUL, THE LEADER OF THE TALIBAN. I SAID ABDUL, YOU BETTER NOT KILL OUR SOLDIERS ANYMORE. I WAS MUCH TOUGHER THAN THAT — I WANT TO BE NICE. [LAUGHTER] EVEN JIM JORDAN WOULD HAVE BEEN CONCERNED IF HE HAD HEARD. [LAUGHTER] I SAID ABDUL, YOU ARE KILLING OUR SOLDIERS, YOU BETTER NOT KILL OUR SOLDIERS. [LAUGHTER] IF YOU DO, YOU WILL BE HIT LIKE NO COUNTRY HAS EVER BEEN HIT, YOU WILL BE HIT HARDER THAN ANYBODY HAS EVER BEEN. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] HE SAID MR. PRESIDENT — HE ACTUALLY CALLED ME YOUR EXCELLENCY. [LAUGHTER] DO YOU THINK HE CALLS BIDEN YOUR EXCELLENCY? BUT WHY, YOUR EXCELLENCY MR. PRESIDENT? YOU SEND ME A PICTURE OF YOUR HOUSE. I SAID I WOULD RATHER NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION. SEE? I AM BEING DIPLOMATIC. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND DO YOU KNOW, WE DID NOT HAVE ONE SOLDIER KILLED IN 18 MONTHS IN AFGHANISTAN. WE HAD THEM — WE HAD THEM, THE TALIBAN. WE COULD HAVE PULLED OUT WITH STRENGTH AND DIGNITY. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NEW YORK AND CHICAGO AND LOS ANGELES, AND THESE DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES. YOU HAVE SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED IN ONE WEEKEND AND 80 SHOT. REPUBLICAN SHOULD PASS LEGISLATION MAKING IT CLEAR THAT WHEN LEFT-WING DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AND ATTORNEY GENERALS REFUSED TO PROSECUTE DANGEROUS CRIMINALS, THE DA’S AND ATTORNEY GENERALS CAN BE CHARGED WITH VIOLATIONS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS LAW. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I MEAN, LOOK AT LOS ANGELES, WHAT IS GOING ON. LOOK AT PHILADELPHIA. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND VIOLENT CRIMINALS ARE BEING IMMEDIATELY ALLOWED OUT OF JAIL WITHOUT BOND. AS WE DEFEND AMERICA’S SAFETY WE MUST ALSO DEFEND AMERICA’S VALUES. AS PRESIDENT I WAS PROUD TO ISSUE THE FIRST BAN ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN SEPTEMBER 2021. IT WAS OVER, WE ENDED IT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THEN BIDEN, WITH THE HELP OF MITCH MCCONNELL, CAME INTO OFFICE — REMEMBER HE SIGNED 17 EXECUTIVE ORDERS, AND ONE OF THEM UNENDED IT. I ALSO CREATED THE 1776 COMMISSION, YOU PEOPLE WOULD LOVE THE 1776 — SO YOUNG AMERICANS WOULD LEARN TO LOVE THIS COUNTRY AS MUCH AS WE IN THIS ROOM DO. ON HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE, BIDEN ABOLISHED THE 1776 COMMISSION AND PROCEEDED TO IMPOSE WOKE LEFT-WING RACISM ON OUR MILITARY. WITH A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS, WE WILL ONE SENT FOR ALL AND CRITICAL RACE THEORY FROM OUR SCHOOLS, WE WILL BAN IT FROM OUR MILITARY, WE WILL BAN IT FROM EVERY INSTITUTION THAT ACCEPTS A SINGLE PENNY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AMERICA’S HISTORY WILL BE TAUGHT FULLY AND TRUTHFULLY TO AMERICA’S BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. IN ADDITION, WE MUST DEFEND PARENTS’S RIGHTS. SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING NEW. THAT IS RIGHT. SOMETHING NEW THAT CAME UP, PARENTS’S RIGHTS. WHOEVER THOUGHT OF PARENTS’S RIGHTS? NOW WE HAVE TO DEFEND PARENTS’S RIGHTS AGAINST LUNATICS. AMERICA’S MOMS AND DADS SHOULD GET A VETO OVER ANYONE TEACHING GENDER IDEOLOGIES TO THEIR CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND ANY PARENT WHO OBJECTS TO THE RADICAL INDOCTRINATION IN THEIR CHILDREN’S CLASSROOMS SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR SHARE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND SPEND IT AT THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE, CHARTER OR RELIGIOUS SCHOOL OF THEIR CHOICE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ANOTHER TOP PRIORITY TO SAVE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY MUST BE TO BREAK UP THE BIG TECH GIANTS AND RESTORE FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND WE WILL BE FIGHTING THAT VERY HARD BY OPENING TRUTHS SOCIAL. — TRUTH SOCIAL. THE DAYS OF BIG TECH CENSORING THE VOICES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NUMBERED. THE LEFT IS ALSO TRYING TO TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF OAN NEWS, THESE ARE GREAT PEOPLE AND THEY ARE PATRIOTS. THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY THEIR VOICE AND TO SHUT THEM DOWN. WHO LISTENS TO OAN? I DO. THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY THEIR VOICE. CAN’T LET IT HAPPEN. THEY’VE GOT MILLIONS OF VIEWERS, AND THOSE VIEWERS AND THAT NETWORK SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO FORWARD. WHILE WE ARE AT IT, A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS SHOULD LAUNCH A SELECT COMMITTEE, AS OPPOSED TO AN UNSELECT COMMITTEE, TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF ATTACK’S — OF BIG TECH’S 2020 ELECTION INTERFERENCE. LET’S FIND OUT WHO MADE THE DECISION TO CENSOR. WHO MADE THE DECISION TO CENSOR THE JOE AND HUNTER BIDEN CORRUPTION BOMBSHELL WHICH THE POSTERS SAID AMOUNTED TO ABOUT 15 POINTS. THE LARGEST ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION IN AMERICAN HISTORY. LET’S DO A FULL FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE $417 MILLION GIVEN BY MARK ZUCKERBERG, WHO USED TO COME TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND KISS MY — [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THAT THEY SPENT TO TAKE OVER LOCAL ELECTION OFFICES IN KEY DEMOCRAT COUNTIES, AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE HEARING A LOT OF IT. IF YOU ARE A PERSON THAT WANTS TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GIVE LESS THAN $6,000, OTHERWISE THEY PUT YOU IN JAIL. HE GAVE $417 MILLION. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT ARE WE DOING? $6,000 AND YOU GO TO JAIL. $417 MILLION SPREAD ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT, IT IS SO HORRIBLE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY. WE NEED A FULL ACCOUNTING OF ALL OF THE ILLEGITIMATE TURN OUT EFFORTS, ILLEGAL DROP BOXES AND BALLOT HARVESTING THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, WE HAD DROP BOXES — 97% FOR JOE BIDEN, BECAUSE HE CAMPAIGNED SO HARD FROM HIS BASEMENT. [LAUGHTER] 3% FOR TRUMP. 3%. AT LEAST THEY GAVE ME SOMETHING, BECAUSE I THINK THEY HAD A COUPLE WHERE I GOT 100%. HE GOT 4000, I GOT NOTHING. NAH, THAT WAS A HORRIBLE THING. WE NEED FAIR ELECTIONS. YOU NEED THOSE BORDERS AND THOSE ELECTIONS. THE WORLD IS ALREADY WAITING TO SEE THE EXPLOSIVE INFORMATION OUT OF GORGEOUS — GEORGIA WHERE THEY HAVE UNCOVERED A MASSIVE ILLEGAL BALLOTING SCHEME, WHERE BALLOT STUFFERS, OR AS THEY CALL THEM, MULES, THESE ARE PEOPLE AND THEY CALL THEM MULES. THEY WERE TRAFFICKED AND SOLD ON AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE. AND THE BRUTALITY WAS INCREDIBLE, WHAT TOOK PLACE. WE HAVE IT ALL ON TAPE AND IT IS COMING OUT OVER THE NEXT THREE WEEKS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THEY’VE GOT THEM AT THE MACHINE STANDING HERE, HERE THEY ARE. THAT IS THE WAY THEY GOT PAID. THEY HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM. WHAT A JOB THEY HAVE DONE. YOU KNOW THE SADDEST PART? THE HARDEST THING TO DO ISN’T TO HAVE CAUGHT THEM, IT IS TO GET THOSE PEOPLE TO WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. WITHOUT THE FAKE NEWS, YOU DON’T HAVE A SCANDAL. [BOOING] THE RINOS AND CERTAIN WEALK REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS WANT TO IGNORE ELECTION INTEGRITY, BUT WE CANNOT IGNORE AND WE HAVE TO FIX IT. MAKE NO MISTAKE, THEY WILL TRY TO DO IT AGAIN IN 22 AND 24 AND WE CANNOT LET THEM DO THAT. THE WAY YOU DO IT IS TO COME TO A VERY POWERFUL CONCLUSION AS TO WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] TO STAND DOWN, TO STOP TALKING ABOUT IT, TO STOP MAKING AMERICANS AWARE OF THE CHEATING AND CORRUPTION THAT WENT ON, THAT IS REALLY SAYING IT IS OK, YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN. WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN. IN ADDITION TO SECURING OUR ELECTIONS, HERE ARE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE MUST DO WITH REPUBLICANS BACK IN CHARGE. WE MUST PASS CRITICAL REFORMS MAKING EVERY EXECUTIVE BRANCH EMPLOYEE FIREABLE BY THE PRESIDENTS. THE DEEP STATE MUST AND WILL BE BROUGHT TO HEEL. WE WILL STOP THE RADICAL DEMOCRATS FROM PACKING THE SUPREME COURT WITH FAR LEFT JUSTICES. [APPLAUSE] ALTHOUGH THE WAY THE SUPREME COURT IS BEHAVING, PERHAPS THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PACK THE SUPREME COURT. THEY ARE BEHAVING NOT THE WAY WE THINK IS APPROPRIATE FOR OUR COUNTRY. AS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED. BUT I DON’T THINK WE WILL DO IT. AND WE WILL DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, THE RIGHT TO LIFE, AND THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE WILL END SANCTUARY, WE WILL END TAX AND RELIEF, AND WE WILL END THE — AND CATCH AND RELEASE, AND WE WILL FINISH BUILDING THE WALL. WE WILL CHARGE CHINA FOR RELEASING THE VIRUS UPON THE WORLD. WE WILL PLACE TARIFFS ON OTHER COUNTRIES. WE WILL DO THE TARIFFING THING, WE HAVE NO CHOICE. IN CHINA, FOR YEARS THEY RIPPED OFF OUR COUNTRY, WE PAID HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THEY NEVER PAID $.10. WE MADE A TRADE DEAL AND IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE DEAL FOR OUR FARMERS AND MANUFACTURERS, THAT IS WHY OUR FARMERS ARE DOING SO WELL — ONCE I AM OUT, CHINA WOULD NOT ADHERE TO THE DEAL. THE FARMERS DID FANTASTICALLY WELL. WE MADE INCREDIBLE DEALS WITH CHINA. WE SAVED OUR STEEL INDUSTRY BECAUSE THEY WERE DUMPING STEEL ALL OVER OUR COUNTRY AND OUR STEEL INDUSTRY WAS GOING DOWN THE TUBES. I’VE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY THANKED ME FOR THE JOB THEY DID — WE DID. WE PUT MASSIVE TARIFFS ON STEEL. WE TOOK IN HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM CHINA AND NOBODY TOOK IN $.10. I AM PROUD OF IT, CHINA RESPECTED US, AND WHEN THE CHINA VIRUS CAME IN, WE DID SOMETHING NOBODY ELSE COULD HAVE DONE. I WANT TO THANK CERTAIN REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS WHO DID A VERY GOOD JOB. I CANNOT THINK OF ANY DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR THAT DID A GOOD JOB, THEY WERE IN LOCKSTEP. LET’S LOCK UP YOUR CITIES, LOCK UP YOUR TOWNS, LOCK UP YOUR STATE, HARM YOUR CHILDREN, TAKE THEIR SOCIAL LIVES AWAY AT A YOUNG AGE. WE WILL PLACE TARIFFS ON OTHER COUNTRIES TO RESTORE THE GLORY OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURING AND WE WILL ENSURE OUR FUTURE IS MADE RIGHT HERE. WE WILL MANUFACTURE — WE STARTED IT BIG TIME — RIGHT HERE IN THE USA. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE STEPS WE HAVE TO TAKE TO SAVE THE NATION THAT WE LOVE. THE REST OF THEM YOU KNOW, THE REST OF THEM WE HAVE DISCUSSED TODAY. IF WE FAIL IN OUR MISSION, WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE FATE OF AMERICA WILL BE. THE RADICAL LEFT IS TRYING TO EXTINGUISH OUR VERY IDENTITY AS AMERICANS SO THAT WHEN THEY TRY TO TAKE OUR FREEDOM, WE DO NOT EVEN THINK TO RESIST. THEY DON’T RESIST. THEY GOT TO RESIST, THEY’VE GOT TO FIGHT. WE’VE GOT NO CHOICE, WE’VE GOT TO FIGHT LIKE HELL, WE CANNOT LET THEM DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT OUR OPPONENTS HAVE MADE A VERY BIG MISTAKE, THEY HAVE DONE THE ONE THING YOU MUST NEVER DO IF YOU SEEK TO HARM AMERICA — THEY HAVE GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED THE STRENGTH AND BRILLIANCE AND PRIDE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THEY WILL NOT STAND FOR IT, THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT. THE CRACKDOWN, CENSORSHIP, AND CANCEL CULTURE ARE NOT AN EXPRESSION OF CONFIDENCE, THEY ARE AN EXPRESSION OF COWARDICE AND FEAR. AND THEY ARE AFRAID. THEY REVEAL NOT THE DOMINANCE OF THE RADICAL LEFT BUT THEIR DESPERATION AND DESPAIR. THEY ARE LOSING, WE ARE WINNING, THEY KNOW IT. THAT’S WHY THEY ARE GOING SO FAR. THAT’S WHY THEY ARE DOING SOME OF THE CRAZY THINGS THEY ARE DOING. THEY ARE ACTING AS THOUGH THEY WERE LUNATICS, MANIACS, AND THE PEOPLE GET IT. AND WE HAVE TO STOP IT, AND WE HAVE TO STOP IT NOW. MY FELLOW AMERICANS, THIS NATION DOES NOT BELONG TO THE RADICALS AND IT DOES NOT BELONG TO THE CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT IN WASHINGTON THAT HAVE — THAT I HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW VERY WELL. THIS NATION BELONGS TO YOU. IT BELONGS TO YOU. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IT WAS PATRIOTS LIKE YOU THAT BUILT THIS COUNTRY, AND IT IS PATRIOTS LIKE YOU THAT ARE GOING TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY. SO TO ALL OF THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN COERCE AND SUBJUGATE THE CITIZENS OF THIS LAND, HEAR THESE WORDS FROM ME TONIGHT — THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR BORDERS, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR CULTURE, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR FAITH, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR VALUES, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR HISTORY, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR LIBERTY, AND ABOVE ALL, WE WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR CHILDREN TO THIS SMALL BAND OF BULLIES AND EXTREMISTS WHO WANT TO TELL EVERYONE ELSE WHAT TO DO. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE ARE DONE WITH THE FASCISTS AND COMMUNISTS AND SOCIALISTS AND WE ARE DONE WITH THEIR DISTORTED VISIONS FOR AMERICA. IT IS TIME TO START TALKING ABOUT GREATNESS FOR OUR COUNTRY AGAIN. WE WANT OUR COUNTRY TO BE GREAT AGAIN. WE WANT OUR COUNTRY TO BE RESPECTED AGAIN. WE ARE A LAUGHINGSTOCK ALL OVER THE WORLD TODAY. ONE YEAR AGO, WE WERE RESPECTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE. WE ARE A LAUGHINGSTOCK. IN SUMMATION AND IN CLOSING AS YOUR PRESIDENT — [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I INSTITUTED THE LARGEST TAX CUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY BY FAR, AND OUR ECONOMY THRIVED LIKE NEVER BEFORE. AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I ELIMINATED MORE BURDENSOME REGULATIONS THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IN HISTORY BY FAR. AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I PROUDLY PROTECTED OUR CONSTITUTION AND THE FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENT. AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I SECURED OUR SOUTHERN BORDER, UPHELD THE LAWS OF THIS LAND, AND STOPPED THE INFLUX OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS INTO AMERICA. VERY DANGEROUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. I INSTITUTED THE “REMAIN IN MEXICO” POLICY — WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE, YOU HAVE TO REMAIN IN MEXICO, AND MEXICO AGREED WITH US. SOMEDAY I WILL TELL YOU THAT STORY. [LAUGHTER] BUILT OVER 500 MILES OF ORDER WALL AND ENDED THE INSANITY OF CATCH AND RELEASE. AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I MADE AMERICA ENERGY INDEPENDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 72 YEARS. WHEN I LEFT OFFICE, AMERICA WAS A NET EXPORTER OF ENERGY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR COUNTRY’S HISTORY. AS IT YOUR PRESIDENT, I NEGOTIATED FREE AND FAIR TRADE DEALS WITH CANADA, MEXICO, JAPAN, ALL OVER EUROPE, AND CHINA. WE HAD THE WORST TRADE DEALS EVER AND WE TURNED THEM INTO SOME OF THE GREATEST TRADE DEALS EVER MADE. I AM THE ONLY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY TO STAND UP TO CHINA AND THEIR UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES, AND I TAX TO THEM AND TARIFFED THEM BEYOND ANY LEVELS ANYBODY THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. AND YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT XI LIKED ME AND RESPECTED ME, AND I LIKED AND RESPECTED HIM AND WE GOT ALONG GREAT. UNTIL COVID CAME AND IT WAS A DIFFERENT BALLGAME. BUT WE HAD A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP. AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I KEPT MY PROMISE AND CHOSE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ON THE LIST I GAVE TO THE COUNTRY BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION, I GAVE A LIST OF GREAT, BRILLIANT, CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES. AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I INSISTED NATO NATIONS START PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE AND THEY DID. HUNDREDS OF ILION OF DOLLARS STARTED FLOWING IN — HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS STARTED FLOWING IN. AND THE SECRETARY-GENERAL WAS MY BIGGEST FAN, HE SAID I NEVER BELIEVED IT, PRESIDENT OBAMA WOULD GO TO NATO, MAKE A SPEECH, TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER, THE SON, HOW LOVELY EVERYONE LOOKS, AND OTHERS WOULD TOO, INCLUDING PRESIDENT BUSH. AND I WENT AND SAID YOU ARE DELINQUENT, YOU HAVE TO PAY UP. [LAUGHTER] THEY SAID, DOES THAT MEAN YOU WON’T PROTECT US IF WE DON’T PAY? I SAID THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS, AND THEY SAID GET OUT THE CHECKBOOK. BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FLOWED IN. THESE ARE THE STORIES THE FAKE NEWS DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT. I ALSO WARNED NATO ABOUT THE DANGER OF RUSSIA, AND LOOK AT THE CONSEQUENCES. ON FOREIGN POLICY, THE WORLD RIGHTLY HAD A HEALTHY FEAR THAT AS PRESIDENT, I WOULD STAND STRONG FOR AMERICAN PRIORITIES. YOU REMEMBER WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND DURING THE DEBATES SAID HE IS GOING TO GET US INTO THE THIRD WORLD WAR? I AM THE ONE THAT DID NOT HAVE ANY WARS, I AM THE ONE THAT GOT US OUT OF WARS. LOOK AT IRAQ, LOOK AT SYRIA. I AM THE ONE THAT BROUGHT US WAY DOWN IN AFGHANISTAN, DOWN TO 2000 SOLDIERS. THE EASY PART WAS GETTING OUT. I BROUGHT IT DOWN FROM 20,000 SOLDIERS TO 2000 SOLDIERS. THE EASY PART WAS FOR BIDEN TO GET THEM OUT, LET THE REMAINING SOLDIERS STAY AND TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. IT IS CALLED SOLDIERS OUT LAST — I WENT TO A CHILD WHO IS FIVE YEARS OLD AND I SAID LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION, I GAVE HIM THE STORY. WOULD YOU TAKE THE SOLDIERS OUT FIRST OR LAST? I WOULD TAKE THEM OUT LAST! HE WAS FIVE AND HE UNDERSTOOD. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THEY UNDERSTOOD ANY HOSTILE ACTIONS WOULD BE MET WITH SWIFT AND SEVERE CONSEQUENCES. THE WORLD IS ALWAYS SAFER WHEN AMERICA HAS A STRONG PRESIDENT. AMERICA HAS TO BE STRONG AND IT NEEDS STRONG LEADERSHIP. YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE BAD, WEAK, OR INCOMPETENT LEADERSHIP YOU IT IS A TRAVESTY LIKE NO ONE BELIEVED COULD HAPPEN. THE WORLD IS ALWAYS IN DANGER WITH A WEAK AMERICAN PRESIDENT EARED THIS COMING — PRESIDENT. THIS COMING MIDTERM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER BEFORE. I’M ASKING YOU TO FIGHT HARD TO ELECT CANDIDATES THAT BELIEVE IN THE PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES WE HOLD SO DEAR. THIS IS A TIPPING POINT FOR THE COUNTRY, AND THE STAKES COULD NOT BE HIGHER. LOSING IS NOT AN OPTION. WE MUST WIN IN 2022. WE MUST WIN IN 2024. WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET A RIGGED ELECTION LIKE IN 2020. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. WE ALL KNOW LAWS WERE NOT FOLLOWED, ALAN HARVESTING WAS RAMPANT, WE ALL KNOW — BALLOT HARVESTING WAS RAMPANT, WE KNOW STATE CONSTITUTIONS WERE IGNORED ALL AROUND OUR COUNTRY, THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN MAKE THE CHANGES WITH THE STATE LEGISLATURES IN THEY DID NOT MAKE THE CHANGES. WE MUST AGREE THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN IN THIS COUNTRY, EVERY STATE MUST ADOPT ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURES. SIGNATURE VERIFICATION. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS — [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE LIKE THEY ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED IN NEW YORK CITY. YOU CAN WALK IN AND VOTE IN NEW YORK. MY BEAUTIFUL NEW YORK, WHAT HAS HAPPENED? REPUBLICANS NEED TO WATCH THE VOTE COUNTING UP CLOSE FROM START TO FINISH. WE CANNOT ALLOW THUGS TO THROW OUR PEOPLE OUT — THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. MAIL-IN BALLOTS NEED TO BE IN SECURE ROOMS WITH CAMERAS SO THERE CAN BE NO TAMPERING. VOTER ROLLS MUST BE UPDATED AND THEY MUST BE ACCURATE. NOT CHANGED AFTER THE ELECTION TAKES PLACE. WE MUST SEEK A GOAL OF VOTER ID — THIS IS A GOAL WE HAVE TO SEEK, THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE. VOTER ID. SAME-DAY VOTING LIKE WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE. NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR OUR MILITARY AND PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY SICK. AND YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE REALLY WONDERFUL, TOO? IT IS ASKING A LOT. A THING CALLED, VERY SIMPLY, PAPER BALLOTS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I HAVE A YOUNG SON, BARRON, AND HE CAN MAKE HIS COMPUTER SING. I TURN IT OFF AND LOCK IT. TWO MINUTES LATER, HEY DAD, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I KNOW HOW TO GET IT OPEN. VERY BAD THINGS HAPPEN WITH THE VOTE. BY THE WAY, CANADA GOES TO PAPER BALLOTS, YOU KNOW THAT? PAPER BALLOTS. AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY AND WE MUST INSIST ON INTEGRITY IN THE PROCESS SO WE ARE CONFIDENT OF THE RESULTS. WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS YOU HAVE 80% OF THE PARTY THINKING THE VOTE WAS A HORRIBLE VOTE, AND I BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE CASE. CERTAINLY, I FEEL CERTAIN IT WAS. YOU CANNOT HAVE A GREAT DEMOCRACY WITH ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENING. YOU MUST GET YOUR STATE LEGISLATURES TO ACT NOW BEFORE NOVEMBER, THEY HAVE TO MOVE, THE HAVE TO ASK, WITH THE HELP OF EVERYONE HERE TODAY, AND WITH THE COMMITMENT OF HARD-WORKING, FREEDOM LOVING PATRIOTS ACROSS OUR COUNTRY. WE WILL MAKE AMERICA POWERFUL AGAIN. WE WILL MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY AGAIN.

On the border, inflation, Russia, energy, big tech, and more, the deposed 45th President Trump outlined several commonsense plans of action. Team Biden could put any of those plans to work, if they wanted to do so. Will they?

 

Trump has multiple decades of background in business and entertainment. He has been described as a ‘showman.’ There has been a flurry of controversies that amazingly began to appear starting in 2015 when he announced his candidacy for 2016. Some of those controversies, in fairness, he sparked with controversial statements easily subject to various interpretations. But many have been debunked. Nevertheless, “Trump-haters” keep repeating some of the same gaslighting narratives, as if the attempted deceptions were true. That’s a violation of God’s command, considered above, not to bear false witness.

When someone doesn’t have a good case or a sound argument, and they want to win at all costs, it is not uncommon that they use smear tactics and gaslighting.

Don’t miss today’s postscript. It will be brief, given the length of the above.

With no further adieu, the following are the headlines for the week that was from 2.20 to 2.27.2022.
