You know a lot of people, they say suburbia, the suburban—I've saved the suburbs. I've saved the suburbs....They don't want a low-income housing project built in the middle of suburbia next to their house. And we have a rule that's a disaster.
I've been going through that for almost two years. But it's really much more than that because, if you look back, you can probably look at the insurance policy area in terms of timing. It's a disgrace what happened. This was a terrible thing that was put onto our country. Nobody has seen anything like this.
But we're going to be reducing to help critically-ill patients get life-saving treatments, we just passed—they've been trying to get this for decades and decades—Right To Try.
So we have things happening now that you didn't have, uh, mortality rate at 85%.
Another thing I'm doing is if a certain country, like Canada—Canada buys for very much less than the United States has bought. How they allowed this to happen—representatives of our country standing at these podiums or in the Oval Office—how they allowed this to happen is just, to me, incredible. We've been working on this for a long time. I've been talking about it with Kayleigh for a long time, right? So now a governor like Ron DeSantis of Florida—who is doing a great job—or our great governor of Ohio or a great governor of any state can call up and buy the drugs directly from Canada at sometimes 50 percent less. So we'll be buying from Canada.
I believe it's a suppression poll. And you know I'm good and I have an instinct about things pretty much.
We did 61 million tests. The next country is—like Germany is at three. India with 1.5 billion people is at 11. We're at 61. Nobody's even close to us in testing, and you know, it's just another talking point.
And, you know, when you say 'per capita,' there's many per capitas. It's, like, per capita relative to what? But you can look at just about any category, and we're really at the top, meaning positive on a per capita basis, too. They've done a great job.
Every place, we have such tremendous—and, remember, they were going to take over the Senate and House? Well, there's so many people in the House, but the ones—like in Kentucky, Andy Barr—the ones that we helped—the ones that I went to—won. They won their races against very tough competition. But we held the Senate and picked up two seats, and nobody wants to talk about it. Nobody wants to talk about it.
Everything was mixed up, the ballots were lost, there was fraud, there was everything. Go into Paterson, New Jersey. These are just recently, it's a disaster waiting to happen, and the only one that knows it better than we do are the Democrats. They know this is going to happen.
So when we came out 12 down, we actually wrote them legal letters and everything. And then they changed the vote. Can you believe it? They changed it where we were one down. But that was the day before the election. Two weeks to go, 12 down.
This new era of cooperation can start with finally confirming the more than 300 highly qualified nominees who are still stuck in the Senate—some after years of waiting. The Senate has failed to act on these nominations, which is unfair to the nominees and to our country.
They talk about suburban women, do they like Donald Trump? Yeah, they like Donald Trump. Do you know why? Because they want safety and security, right? They want safety and security, and they don't want low-income housing built next to their beautiful suburban dream. No, we got rid of it. Do you know they had a regulation—all the women standing up over there.
And we put up a lot of wall, like in San Diego—it's so interesting, these California—so in San Diego, they're begging me to do the wall.
We've been investigating, on a personal basis—through Rudy and others, lawyers—corruption in the 2016 election. We've been investigating corruption, because I probably will—I was going to definitely—but I probably will be bringing a lot of litigation against a lot of people having to do with the corrupt investigation, having to do with the 2016 election.
Insist on transparency from Joe Biden and his son Hunter, on the millions of dollars that have been quickly and easily.... ....taken out of Ukraine and China.
You know, it's Jerusalem, and a friend of mine Ron Baron he's so proud of a wall opposite the elevator. Every time I walk in he shows me Jerusalem stone, I go crazy. Ron, I don't care. I said, David you're in Jerusalem it's very expensive in New York can you get Jerusalem stone? He said, yes we can, we have it, we can buy it for nothing. I said good, make the building out of Jerusalem stone. So he made it out of Jerusalem stone.
This state lost 43% of all manufacturing jobs after the NAFTA and China disasters. You know that. You lost 43%, but I think the real number's 61%, by the way.
Biden has promised a 700% increase [in refugee admissions]. ... A 700% increase in the importation of refugees from the most dangerous places in the world, including Yemen, Syria, and Somalia.
Because nobody's done more than me—I mean nobody.
Joe, he takes out, the other day, did you see it? He takes out notes, uh 200 billion do—he's, he's lost it, you know that.
And the head person [of the Tennessee Valley Authority]—not controlled by government, but it's sort of semi-public, in a sense—gets paid the highest salary in the world of government. He gets $8 million a year.
Now, they [New York] had a chance to order ventilators over the years. They had a chance to order a very big—but they didn't choose to do it....I wish they did the original orders three years ago. They would've had all the ventilators they needed.
And we have catch and release and we have chain migration, where somebody comes in and brings the whole family. Bring them all: your grandparents, your brothers, your sisters, your cousins. The craziest thing I've ever seen. Put in by Democrats.
You know, they used to call it tax reform, and for 40 years they couldn't pass anything and they didn't know why. I said, 'How's it hard to pass tax cuts?' Turned out it was not that hard. It was not easy.
Anything that there's any—if they ever had anything there they call it a renovation. So now they say they did this vicious story that we only built a small number of miles. You know we're up to almost 400 miles.
Yeah, a lot of people suggest that [MSNBC host Joe Scarborough killed an aide]. And hopefully, someday, people are going to find out. It's certainly a very suspicious situation. Very sad. Very sad and very suspicious....it's a very suspicious thing, and I hope somebody gets to the bottom of it. It'll be a very good thing. As you know, there's no statute of limitations. So it would be a very good—very good thing to do.
'Gas prices drop across the United States because President Trump has deregulated Energy and we are now  producing a great deal more oil than ever before.' @foxandfriends  But this is bad news for Russia, why would President Trump do such a thing? Thought he worked for Kremlin?
Two victories, North Carolina, where one was 17 points down three weeks ago we got involved. We started sending out lots of different social media messages. We did a couple of little robo calls, but the big thing we did a speech the night before the turnout was beyond belief and instead of being down by 17 points, he easily won the election 4 or 5,000 votes. Dan. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan Bishop. And Greg Murphy was up a couple of points and he ended up winning.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats delayed the Workers Help/Stimulus Bill by over a week, trying to add real 'junk' into the Bill. Got some bad things, having nothing to do with those affected by the Virus, included. Republicans need their votes until we WIN BACK THE HOUSE IN 2020!
You know, it's really funny, I see all those red lights on. That means you're live. Right? As soon as I start talking about the fake news, I see those lights go off so fat, but then they come back on. And you know why? They come back on because last night, by far, all over the cable, all over the place, the highest rated show was what we did in Minnesota, a state that we're going to win. That's why they come back on because they had no choice. They may hate Trump, but they want to get those ratings.
We're asking for going back to deductibility, where corporations can buy and corporations can go out to lunch, and they pay and they get a deduction on what they eat, they get a deduction on the bill, and same with the entertainment. It's going to bring a lot of people back. I think it'll open up the restaurant business. People forget that, years ago, they had that. And when they got rid of it, when they ended it for whatever reason—but they ended it—many, many restaurants went out of business, many entertainment-type facilities went out of business.
From the day I took office, I have been working to build an unlimited future for African American communities who have given, served, and sacrificed so much for our nation. Tremendous—tremendous amount.
iden is also pledging mass amnesty and free federal healthcare for illegal aliens.
We have unbelievable—the vaccines are unbelievable. And frankly, except for a little politics, but we have unbelievable vaccines that are coming out real soon and the therapeutics are unbelievable and the cures—excuse me, I'm here, right?
I mean, the only difference is the one – the big risk is they sent out tens of millions of these unsolicited ballots. And we're trying to find out who do they send them to, when do they send them, where do they send them, who sends them back.
Take a look at what's happening to the great city, once, of San Francisco. It's thousands and thousands of tents and drugs and needles, and everything you can imagine floating in the streets in the best neighborhoods.
Can you imagine, during the pandemic, there's, you know, Mexico's very heavily, unfortunately, infected. And it was a good thing that we had it up.
Fortunately, we had beautiful transcribers that transcribed the call. Can you imagine if we didn't have? It would have been my word against Shifty Schiff and all of the horrible human beings over there, they died when they found out we had a transcription. Remember? They wanted to know how do we get out of this one. So we had to beat that one off too, but that was a little bit lucky. Thank you to your wonderful transcribers, you did a great job.
We want to have the whole, the whole country is going to be open very soon. And that's why you're seeing a lot of a tremendous amount of improvement.
You know, Paris, France, they say has the strongest gun laws in the world, and you remember those maniacs when they went into the nightclub. I use this example, there are many examples, but they shot one person, another person, another person, another person. Hundreds of people dead and horribly wounded to this day. That was five years ago. If there was one gun being carried by one person on the other side, it very well could've been a whole different result. The shooting went on so long and there wasn't a thing you could do about it. 'Get over here.' Boom. "Get over here." Boom. And then they left. They were captured later. There was only one gun. If there were two, three, four, it wouldn't have happened—a tiny percentage, by comparison.
Once I presented the transcribed call, which surprised and shocked the fraudsters (they never thought that such evidence would be presented), the so-called whistleblower, and the second whistleblower, disappeared because they got caught, their report was a fraud, and they were no longer going to be made available to us. In other words, once the phone call was made public, your whole plot blew up, but that didn't stop you from continuing.
We catch [undocumented immigrants]. We do paperwork. We bring them to court. You can never have enough judges because you're talking about thousands—tens of thousands of people. You end up in trials, but the trials don't take place, because what they have to do—because it's impossible to hold all of it. This is by law.
But one of the worst things—even before Mueller was Strzok and Page, the two lovers—where he said—or she said, I guess, he said—that she's going to win, 100 million to one. She's going to win. But if she doesn't, we go to the insurance policy. When he said insurance policy, that means that right now is the insurance policy, OK?
Choice and Accountability. We got two things. They've been trying for almost 50 years—Choice. Veterans Choice.
On January 31st, I ordered the suspension of foreign nationals, who have recently been in China from entering the United States. An action which the Democrats loudly criticized and protested, and now everybody's complimenting me, saying, 'Thank you very much. You are 100% correct.' Could have been a whole different story. But I say, "So let's get this right. A virus starts in China, bleeds its way into various countries all around the world. Doesn't spread widely at all in the United States because of the early actions that myself and my administration took against a lot of other wishes.'
So they wanted the wall. So I said, No, let's wait. And they said, 'Go ahead and build it, we got a good price.' So we started to build it. Then I had second thoughts because of the governor of California, who loves sanctuary cities and other things. So he didn't want the wall. But they were putting so much pressure, so I decided to do it. Then, in the middle of doing it—it's beautiful. It's big. Nobody is crossing it very easily. Not one of those that you can just scoot to the top. This is a real wall. So what happened is, in the middle, like, I sort of had second thoughts. You ever have second thoughts about something? I said, You know, let's stop building the wall, because we get more pressure put on this crazy governor where the taxes are high and the crime is high. Other than that, he's doing a fantastic job, OK? In California—I have property in California that I don't care about anymore. When you do this job, there's only one thing that matters. That's getting it done properly. It doesn't matter—getting it done. Who cares? Who cares if you have property? Big deal. So I said, Let's stop building the wall. I said, How much would it cost? Because I know too much about contractors. I think half the room is contractors. Look at these people. I can tell a contractor. I can smell a contractor, believe it or not. There are a lot of contractors in this room. So I said, Find out how much it would cost to stop. And one of the generals said, Sir, it wouldn't cost anything to stop. I said, Really? Find out. When he came to me, he said, It's $7 million to stop. I'd said, All right, keep building it, OK? I'm not going to stop it for that, right? We got to get it done. So we're doing the wall. We started the wall. But we want to do—we need about 700 miles of wall. It's 2,000 miles. We need about 700 miles of wall. We're getting it. We have a lot of natural barriers that are better than any wall you could build.
I ended the last administrations a year crusade to cripple our sheriffs, our police officers, and law enforcement heroes all over our country. I made available $716 million worth of surplus military equipment to protect police in the line of duty. ... Because they weren't doing it, they didn't want to do it because they said it made the police looked too strong.
This was a case that President Obama said, essentially, he doesn't have the right to sign [DACA]. But they went, as usual, to the Ninth Circuit and they won a case, they won an appeal, and now it's hopefully going to the Supreme Court soon because this is a very important case.
We're working with China very much on the virus. We feel that's something.
It's perversion and when you watch some of these people get up and speak today, they don't even—look, you have violated the Constitution. Well, what has he done wrong? Well, we don't know that. They don't even have any crime. This is the first impeachment where there is no crime.
It is becoming more and more obvious that the Radical Democrats are a Party of open borders and crime. They want nothing to do with the major Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border. #2020!
Hillary Clinton is crooked Hillary. I don't call her crooked Hillary for nothing. And, you know, just the one thing. I keep going back to it....got a subpoena from the United States Congress, right? She got a subpoena. How do you—how do you—how do you get rid of your emails after you get a subpoena? She got texts—for text messages, e-mails, et cetera. How do you do that? It's criminal. What she did is criminal, OK?
Even if you look at the pipelines—immediately upon taking office, I let the pipelines go—Keystone, you know, both of them.  And we let them proceed.  Forty-eight thousand jobs, and we're going to have two great, environmentally friendly pipelines.  Really great.  Forty-eight thousand jobs.  That was an easy one.  But they would have never been built.
This is something that should have been solved by other Presidents, as I've said often before, long before this point. They waited until the last second. And they shouldn't have waited. This should have been solved by many others. I'm not just saying President Obama; I'm saying other Presidents. A long time ago, this could have been solved in a lot easier manner and a lot less dangerous manner. But it wasn't. So I'll solve it, and we'll get it done.
The only way, by the way—and the only way they get in is by going around it; they're not going over it because you have a lot of tremendous people watching. They can't get the ladders and go over it. Plus, it's very dangerous. It's very high to go over it. So when Gloria says [assaults have dropped] "65 percent," this is 100 percent, but when they go down further.
Tariffs on the 'dumping' of Steel in the United States have totally revived our Steel Industry. New and expanded plants are happening all over the U.S. We have not only saved this important industry, but created many jobs. Also, billions paid to our treasury. A BIG WIN FOR U.S.
Of course, The Washington Post, a guy named David Weigel, he wrote an article .... He got there four hours early. He took pictures of an empty arena. He then put out a note, something to the effect, 'Not very good crowd size, Mr. President.' And I never saw it because I don't follow the guy. But thousands of people that were in that arena that was packed with 25,000 people outside that couldn't get in. He got there four or five hours early, because he doesn't fly private. ... Nobody was in the arena. There were thousands outside but they hadn't opened the gates yet.
To be honest, it's a shame that your President has had to go through this for—before I even got elected, it began. And it began illegally, and hopefully somebody is going to look at the other side.
And from now on, small business owners will be spared from the deeply unfair estate tax, also known as the 'death tax.' ... You can now leave your small business or your beautiful little farm or whatever it is that you're so proud of—you leave it to your kids, and they don't have to go out to the bank and borrow to pay the tax and end up losing it in a foreclosure.
We're opening up unbelievable healthcare cross state lines, highly competitive. Really great healthcare. Everyone is competing for it. All of the insurance companies are dying to get it. They all want to compete. The costs are going to be low. And it's costing our country nothing. Nothing. And it's so much better than any form of insurance.
Tremendous problems are caused at the southern border—from drugs, to the wrong people being allowed to come in because of a corrupt and broken system that can be changed in 20 minutes—20 minutes, if they want to change it. In the meantime, we have to do it the tough way.
Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community - Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades - Legacy Stuff! Thank you also to Chance and Dr. Darrell Scott, they really get it (lowest Black & Hispanic unemployment in history)
We have a pool for people that are having difficulty...it's a high risk pool...we're putting in $8 billion...and you're going to have absolute coverage.
In just over three years, we've created 7 million brand-new jobs—something that would have been unthinkable to even say.
There's only one reason they don't want voter ID, and that's because they want to cheat. That's all. It cannot be anything else.
And again, I don't blame President Xi. I blame our past leaders for allowing it to happen for so many years with the World Trade Organization. China was totally flat-lined. And when the World Trade Organization came about and China joined the World Trade, they became a rocket ship, because, you know, it's a very unfair situation that took place at the World Trade Organization, as are many of them.
We, uh, took care of a very important, the inheritance tax, or the death tax. So now if you, uh, leave your estate, you leave your farm or ranch to your sons and daughters, they don't have to get out and borrow a lot of money and end up losing it in a foreclosure.
You know, Grand Rapids, that was where I made my last speech, right? I made my last speech—32,000 people showed up at 1:00 in the morning. And I said-I said, 'We're not losing,' right? We had a crowd you wouldn't believe it. 1:00 in the morning. It was now election day because it had gone over. 1:00. 32,000 people. Grand Rapids. I'll never forget it.
So it's a great honor to be nominated [for the Nobel Peace Prize], and you know, has tremendous significance. And we'll have other countries joining, too.
I think we did something well ahead of schedule and we did that at the end of January. People were talking about this 'wouldn't have an impact'—as you know—even into March.
The WHO failed to investigate credible reports from sources in Wuhan that conflicted directly with the Chinese government's official accounts. There was credible information to suspect human-to-human transmission in December 2019, which should have spurred the WHO to investigate, and investigate immediately.
If you look at what's happened with Ford and with General Motors and with Fiat-Chrysler and so many other car companies, you see what they're doing back in Michigan and Ohio—they were leaving.  They were going to Mexico and many other places.  They're now staying here.
By the way, Mexico is paying for the wall, just so you understand.
What I've done for the vets, nobody's ever done, nobody's ever even come close to doing and so many other things.
They said he did unbelievably well with women. What happened, women? And now they're saying the same thing. They're saying, ah, but they say it weakly, you know, because they want to say it quickly, get it over with. Uh, I don't think he'll do well with women. But we tried this one two years ago. That didn't work out too well.
You know, we talk about 'Russia, Russia, Russia' for two and a half years, and then they found nothing, and there was nothing.
When Biden's son walks out of China with $1.5 billion in a fund—and the biggest funds in the world can't get money out of China—and he's there for one quick meeting, and he flies in on Air Force Two, I think that's a horrible thing.
And we're going to be doing some things that are very good, because we don't think that she—look, what Chuck Schumer wants more than anybody—and I would say Nancy Pelosi would be second—they want to bail out cities and states that have done a bad job over a long period of time. Nothing to do with coronavirus or China virus, or whatever you want to call it. They want to bail out cities and states. They want bailout money. They want to trillion dollars in bailout money.
We're really referring mostly to 2016, because what the Democrats did in 2016 was corrupt. And let's see what happens. They're more concerned with that than they are with me and impeachment. They're trying to hide what maybe is coming. I let our great—if you look—I'll let our great law enforcement take care of it. Okay?
We had many companies—Chrysler's coming in, leaving Mexico and coming back to Michigan.
I've issued a historic executive order, stating that any college that refuses to let you—meaning you, but anybody—speak, stands to lose billions and billions of taxpayer dollar. We give them all of this money, and then they don't let you speak. Well, we just ended that.
I don't think you're going to see a shutdown. I wouldn't want to go to it, no. If you did have it, it's the Democrats' fault. And I accepted the first one, and I'm proud of what we've accomplished because people learned during that shutdown all about the problems coming in from the southern border. I accept—I've always accepted it.
And don't forget, Dr. Fauci, what he said is, no, no, don't close it to China. I said, I'm sorry, Doctor, you're a wonderful man –and I – he is a nice man. You're a wonderful man, I'm closing it. I saved thousands of lives, he admitted that two months later, two months later. And Dr. Fauci said, don't put on masks, don't put – you see the thing? And now, he says put on masks. And they say, he's a wonderful guy. And he is a wonderful guy, I like him. He just happens to have a very bad arm.
We're really acting more as a law enforcement agency [in Afghanistan] than we are as a military, because we could win that very quickly and easily if I was willing to kill millions of people. I'm not willing to do that. I'm not willing to do that. We'd win that so quickly your head would spin. And I'm not talking about nuclear; I'm talking about very conventional. But I'm not willing to kill millions of people.
This was unexpected. This was something that came out of China, and it hit us and many other countries.
I gave an interview yesterday to Bloomberg Business. And I said 'off the record,' and I made a statement about Canada. ... And I said something strong, but it's my belief. And they violated it. And they said they were violating it. It's unbelievable what's happening with the fake news. It's unbelievable. When you say off the record, that's a very—it's not a legal term, but it's a term of honor. ... They actually printed my off-the-record. They said, 'President Trump said, off the record' and then they go on this.
Our Coronavirus testing is so much greater (25 million tests) and so much more advanced, that it makes us look like we have more cases, especially proportionally, than other countries. My message on that is very clear!
I think we've done an amazing job. Uh, they're having a spike in Europe now, as you know. And we're always compared to Europe. And we've done very well compared to Europe when you look at our numbers compared to Europe.
And the wall is being built. We spent $1.6 billion... we spent another $1.6 billion this last year. We're getting another one—we want to build it all at one time. We need it. They are doing everything in their power, the Democrats, to delay it and to stop it.
So we caught President Obama and Biden spying on the campaign.
The worst sin of all is the fact that we're allowing people to come into this country and sell drugs and human traffic, and do all of these horrible things. ... People are coming in. Drugs are coming in. Human trafficking is coming in, which is so horrible.
The Democrats are so focused on hurting the Republican Party and the President that they are unable to get anything done because of it, including legislation on gun safety, lowering of prescription drug prices, infrastructure, etc. So bad for our Country!
But if you look at these [covid] numbers, they're coming down very substantially.
And we're also—on the southern border, as you know, the wall is going up. It's going up very rapidly. We're at 182 miles.
If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama. He knew EVERYTHING. Do it @LindseyGrahamSC, just do it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!
And now it's—crime is up by many, many times. And what's happening in New York is so horrible for our country, what they have done. What Mayor de Blasio has done to that city in a short period of time is horrible.
I'm making other countries pay because, you know, NATO, they weren't paying their bills. They were delinquent to use the New York real estate term. They weren't paying their bills. I said you've got to pay. The Secretary-General of NATO is my single biggest fan. They're paying $130 billion a year more now because I said, look, you've got to pay, you've got to pay. They rip us on trade and then we're supposed to protect them, the European Union. So NATO—so they're paying $130 billion more, going to $410 billion more each year.
I've done so much for religion. The Johnson Amendment. ... Nobody thought any of this stuff would happen.
This sleepy guy is raising a lot of money, right? Tell you he raises money. You know how he raises money? By making deals, that's how you raise money. I would be the greatest political fundraiser in the history of the world. I could raise bil—... A billion dollars and give me two days, give me an extra day just in case. All I have to do is, hey, I know most of these guys one way or the other. President of the United States is calling, Mr. So and So from Goldman Sachs, et cetera. President. Oh, do me a favor, send me $25 million please for the campaign. Yes, sir. I would get ... I—... They wouldn't even negotiate. I'd get so much and I didn't do any of it, right? And we did very nicely. You know we got a lot of small donations but I didn't do any of it, I never made a call. I never made a call. Everybody I called would give them, the president I mean. Unless you're stupid you're able to get very a lot of money. Send me 10. Well, sir, we're having a hard time. All right, send me five, that's okay. Send me five. We would have raise ... I would have raised a billion dollars, but you can only spend so much, you know?
