President Trump: Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of my inauguration, and today, after twelve months back in the White House, our economy is booming, growth is exploding, productivity is surging, investment is soaring, incomes are rising, inflation has been defeated, our previously open and dangerous border is closed and virtually impenetrable, and the United States is in the midst of the fastest and most dramatic economic turnaround in our country's history.
President Trump: Since my inauguration, we've lifted more than 1.2 million people off of food stamps, and after four years in which Biden secured less than one trillion of dollars of new investment in our country; think of that, one trillion, substantially less than that, in four years, we've secured commitments to a record-breaking eighteen trillion dollars, and we think when the final number come out, they'll be closer to twenty trillion dollars of investment. That's never been don by any country, at any time, Not even close.
President Trump: In one year, our agenda has produced a transformation like America's not seen in over one hundred years. Instead of closing down energy plants, we're opening them up. Instead of building ineffective money-losing windmills, we're taking them down, and not approving any. Instead of empowering bureaucrats, we're firing them, and they're going out and getting jobs in the private sector for two and three times what they were making in government. Instead of raising taxes on domestic producers, we're lowering them, and raising tariffs on foreign nations to pay for the damage that they've caused. In twelve months, we have removed over two hundred and seventy thousand bureaucrats from the federal payrolls. The largest single-year reduction in government employment since the end of World War II. Nobody thought that was coming, but we had no choice. To make a a country great, we can't have all federal jobs.
President Trump: Because of my landslide election victory, the United States avoided the catastrophic energy collapse which befell every European nation that pressured the Green New Scam, perhaps the greatest hoax in history. The Green New Scam; windmills all over the place. Destroy your land. Destroy your land. Every time that goes around, you lose a thousand dollars. You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical-left tried tom impose on America. They tried very hard. Germany now generates twenty-two percent less electricity than it did in 2017, and it's not the current chancellor's fault. He's solving the problem. He's gonna do a great job. But what they did before he got there, I guess that's why he got there. And the electricity prices are sixty-four percent higher. The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it did in 1999, and they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the world, but they don't use it. And that's one reason why their energy has reached catastrophically low levels with equally high prices.
President Trump: This enormous, unsecured island [Greenland] is actually part of North America, on the northern frontier of the western hemisphere. That's our territory. It is therefore a core nations security interest of the United States of America, and, in fact, it's been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering our hemisphere, and we've done it very successfully, and we've never been stronger than we are now. That's why American presidents have sought to purchase Greenland for nearly two centuries.
President Trump: We are thousands of miles away, separated by a giant ocean [from Ukraine]. It's a war that should have never started, and it wouldn't have started if the 2020 U.S. presidential election weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did.
President Trump: All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland. But we already had it as a trustee, but respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago, after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and others in World War II. We gave it back to them. We were a powerful force then, but we are a much more powerful force now, after I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so today. We have a budget of 1.5 trillion dollars.
President Trump: I don't know that they'd be there for us [NATO]. They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland, so Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. But that dip is peanuts compared to what it's gone up, and we have an unbelievable future in that; that stock market is going to be doubled. We're gonna hit fifty thousand, and that stock markets, gonna double in a relatively short period of time because of everything that's happened.
President Trump: They have a choice. You can say yes [give us Greenland], and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no, and we will remember.
President Trump: Homes are built for people, not for corporations, and America will not become a nation of renters. We're not going to do that. That's why I have signed an executive order banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. It's just not fair to the public. They're not able to buy a house. And I'm calling for congress to pass that ban into permanent law, and I think they will.
President Trump: I realized that we have many places like that where they're making a fortune because of the United States. Without the United States, they wouldn't be making anything. Think of it; Switzerland made forty-one billion dollars on us…the United states is keeping the whole world afloat.
President Trump: In 2024, the U.S. built less than two million new homes, but Biden admitted more than eight million new migrants. And those days are over. In 2025, for the first time in fifty years, the United States had reverse migration.
President Trump: If I were a democrat people, or whatever, I would call up Trump. I'd say come on in, make us look good. Because we're cutting crime down to nothing, and we're taking people out, career criminals, who are only doing to do bad things, and we're bringing them back to their countries. But where we've done it has been amazing, and we have a capacity to do it at much greater levels. We're cutting illegal aliens off welfare and other government benefits, and I have directed that, starting immediately, there will be no more payments to sanctuary cities, because they are really just sanctuaries for criminals. They're really protecting criminals, and those are the ones we have to get out of the country.
President Trump: The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the west cannot mass import foreign cultures which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own. I mean, we're taking people from Somalia, and Somalia is a failed; it's not a nation. It's got no government, got no police, got no military, go no nothing. And then we have this fake congressperson, who they've just reported is worth thirty million dollars. You believe this? Ilhan Omar. Talking about the, 'Constitution that provides me'. She comes from a country that's not a country, and she's telling us how to run America. Not going to get away with it much longer, let me tell you.
President Trump: So together, with confidence, boldness, and persistence, let us lift up our people, grow our economies, defend our shared destiny, and build a future for our citizens that is more ambitious, more exciting, more inspiring, and greater than the world has ever seen. We're in a position to do things that nobody else has even thought of before.
President Trump: We can stop wars, because that's sort of up to us. But things like dust flying in the air, wherever COVID comes from , or whatever comes; sometimes you have to be a little bit lucky.
President Trump: Without us, I think Putin would have gone all the way. I think we have it. I think there could have been a World War III, if you want to know the truth. If Kamala was elected, or Joe; any one of those thinkers, I think you could have ended up in World War III. I will say Steve Witcoff has been dealing incredibly with Putin. But we're not gonna have World War III. We want to get it stopped, but we're not gonna have World War III. I think if I wasn't elected, that could have evolved into World War III. It was a very, very bad situation. And it still is, but it's not that kind of bad. It's bad because so many young people are being killed.
President Trump: We have peace in the Middle-East. There are some little situations like Hamas, and Hamas has agreed to give up their weapons. Now, you know, they were born with a weapon in their hand, so it's not easy to do. When they were born, they were born with a rifle in their hand. It's not an easy thing for them, but that's what they agreed to, they've got to do it. And we're gonna know; Jared, over the next two or three days, certainly over the next three weeks, whether or not they're gonna do it. If they don't do it, they'll be blown away very quickly. They'll be blown away.
President Trump: They have to change their ways[ UK], or they're gonna [inaudible]. Between immigration and energy, if they don't change, bad things will happen.
