Here is President Trump on July 3rd at Mount Rushmore.

“In 250 Years, the Free People of this land have accomplished more with our Liberty than any other society has accomplished, even in thousands and thousands of years… What our critics will never understand is that America is not the sum of its mistakes. Our mistakes make us human—our achievements make us American…

We are the nation that dreamed and created the modern world—we laid the railroads, we raised up those big, beautiful skyscrapers, harnessed electricity, and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the assembly line, the television, the microchip, the personal computer, the internet, GPS, the smartphone, and almost everything else that has ever been invented—including… a thing called air conditioning.

We charted the human genome to cure diseases, we powered entire cities by splitting single atoms, and planted our flag on the Moon.

Americans filled the airwaves of the planet with our music and our culture. We invented baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, NASCAR, and the Rodeos of the West. Americans have won the most Olympic medals of any country in the world by far, the most Nobel Prizes… and the most world records. We publish by far the most patents, we produce the best movies, we make the best music, and we raise up the greatest entertainers and strongest athletes the world has ever seen.

We built the biggest and most dynamic economy… with, as of last week, 19.2 trillion dollars pouring into the United States from all over the world… And thanks to our great election win and tariffs, plants and factories are being built all over the United States right now…

We created the strongest and most powerful military. We won two World Wars, the Cold War, and left America’s enemies in the depths of history.”
