Donald Trump Fought the Establishment—and Won
Donald Trump won the presidency by challenging both the Republican and Democrat Party establishments. For too long, the political class of party leaders, paid consultants, lobbyists, donor-funded think tanks, and partisan media outlets ignored the concerns of millions of working- and middle-class American families.
These families didn’t see themselves as Democrats or Republicans. They saw themselves as Americans—and they wanted change.
Career politicians didn’t get the message. Rather than listen to the American people, the establishment chose to lecture them instead. Democrats in Congress, for example, could’ve joined with President Trump and Republicans to work together on infrastructure, immigration, healthcare, the economy, our military, and more.
Instead, Democrats spent four years obstructing that agenda, wasting time—and tens of millions in taxpayer dollars—on political stunts.
While the left resisted, President Trump went to work.
He replaced NAFTA, something both Republican and Democrat politicians had promised to do for years. His new USMCA rebalances trade, protects American labor, and levels the playing field for U.S. manufacturers and automakers.
He cut taxes for over 80 percent of Americans by lowering rates for middle-income families, doubling the child tax credit, nearly doubling the standard deduction, and lowering costs for employers.
He ended the Obama-era War on Energy. Rather than relying on foreign oil, today America is the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world. Last year, for the first time in 67 years, America exported more energy than it imported.
He stood up to Big Pharma, including taking action to permit the safe, legal importation of prescription drugs from Canada. In 2018, Americans saw the biggest drop in prescription drug prices in half a century.
He slashed income inequality as wages grew faster for workers than for managers and fastest for Americans without a college degree.
He paused immigration to ensure Americans are first in line for jobs as the country safely reopens. He also closed visa loopholes that allowed companies to replace American workers with low-cost foreign labor.
He fixed our justice system, reforming the Clinton-era crime bill that sent too many young Black men to jail. Today, America has its lowest prison rate for Black Americans in 31 years.
He rebuilt our military, secured the largest raise for our troops in a decade, and became the first President since Reagan not to start a war.
He held the VA accountable for failing our veterans under the previous Administration, signing the VA Accountability Act and removing more than 2,500 employees for misconduct and poor performance.
He used bold diplomacy to secure peace deals in the Middle East, supporting our allies instead of starting wars or giving cash to Iran.
He protected Medicare and Social Security—including from socialist “Medicare-for-All” schemes, which would kick 180 million Americans off their health plans.
He made the single-largest investment in our national parks and public lands in history, signing the Great American Outdoors Act to protect our natural heritage.
He defended American patriotism from those who would tear it down—literally—by increasing penalties on those who vandalize or destroy monuments and memorials.
He grew the strongest economy in history, with record-high incomes and record-low unemployment and poverty rates for Americans once left behind—including Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and others.
And today, as America reopens from the global Coronavirus pandemic, our country is witnessing its fastest economic recovery in history.
Americans outside of our nation’s political class see these results. A majority of our citizens say they are better off today than they were 4 years ago. In fact, more Americans say they are better off after President Trump’s first term than said so after the first terms of Barack Obama, George W. Bush, or even Ronald Reagan.
The American people wanted change. The establishment didn’t listen. Fortunately for millions of families across our country, President Trump did—and he’s just getting started.

Q Thank you, Mr. President. On Kuwait: So the ambassador to — the Kuwaiti ambassador to Austria this week told the IAEA that the Kuwaiti government is very concerned over Iran’s constant breaching of the JCPOA. In your discussions with the Kuwaitis today, have you discussed where they stand this week as we go into the U.N., as the United States tries to extend sanctions on Iran?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, they just left my office, as you know — the Oval Office. And we had a very good meeting with the Emir, and I think we understand each other very well. They’re very excited about a lot of things that are happening in the Middle East. They are so excited that we signed the first two countries, and I think they’ll end up fairly quickly being a part of it.
I have, I would say, seven or eight countries that want to be a part of it without even working very easily, very quickly. Nobody thought this would happen. And not only is it happening, it’s happening rather easily. We discussed that very briefly, because that’s — that’s an easy one. Believe it or not, that whole thing is now a beautiful puzzle that’s coming together very nicely.
But we are talking to them and others about various aspects of the Middle East. The Middle East is straightening out with all this happening. You know, we’ve brought a lot of our troops back. A lot of them are coming back in the very near future.
We’re out of Syria, other than we kept the oil. I kept the oil. And we have troops guarding the oil. Other than that, we’re out of Syria. We took them off the border between Syria and Turkey. We had a lot of troops on the border. Ultimately, we got it down to 50, and I thought they were in great danger when you have two armies sitting there looking to fight, and you have 50 people in the middle. I don’t care who you are, even if you’re the U.S. — those 50 people are in great danger. We took them out.
But we had a lot of troops on the border, and we took them out. I said, “Look, they’ve been fighting on their border for 200 years and a lot longer than that, under different names, and they can continue to do that.” That’s not for us; we’re guarding our own borders. We’re doing very well on our southern border, as an example.
So we’re out of Syria, except we kept the oil, and we’ll make a determination. We’ll probably be dealing with the Kurds and the oil and see what it all ends up. But we’ll be out.
And very importantly, we’re down to very few soldiers in Iraq, and we’re down — we’ll be down very shortly over the next couple of weeks to 4,000 — less than 4,000 in Afghanistan. And then we’ll make that final determination a little bit later on.
We’re dealing very well with the Taliban. They’re very tough, they’re very smart, they’re very sharp. But, you know, it’s been 19 years, and even they are tired of fighting, in all fairness. And we really served as a police force, because if we wanted to do what we had to do, we would have fought a lot differently than they have over their 19 years. They didn’t fight it properly. They were police, okay? They’re not police; they’re — they’re soldiers. So there’s a difference. The police — nobody has more respect for police than I do, but they have to do their own policing.
So we’re having some very good discussions with the Taliban, as you probably heard. It’s been public. And — but we’ll be down to — very shortly, we’ll be down to less than 4,000 soldiers. And so we’ll be out of there, knowing that certain things have to happen — certain things have to be fulfilled. But 19 years is a long time, 8,000 miles away. Nineteen years is a long time.
And the Middle East — the whole Middle East equation, if you look at what’s happened, if you’ve looked at the stupidity of decisions that were made, including the deal that was made — I mean, take a look at what happened with Iran. Had that deal stayed and I had not broken that deal, you could have never done the deal that I’m doing now where all the countries are pouring in.
And I had two calls this morning with countries; they want to know, “When can we go into the deal?” They want to go. It’s not that we’re giving them anything. They want security, they want peace, and they’re really tired of fighting. It’s incredible. They’re tired of fighting. They’ve been fighting for so many years. They’re tired of fighting. Thank you very much.
