100 Days Speech by President Trump

Hello Pennsylvania!

It is great to be back, just 100 days after

the man the keystone state-supported became

President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump.

And you know, if 100 days has shown us

anything, it's that president Donald Trump is a man of his word

and a man of action.

For 100 days, President Trump has been keeping the promises

he made to you and every American.

It has been 100 days of action, 100 days of consequence, and 100 days

that will be remembered as the days we began to make America great

again.

You know, President Trump's tireless leadership really inspires

me every single day.

While left-wing activists and their willing allies

in the media...

BOOING

While they have then ignoring the facts and

spreading that fake news, the American people know the truth.

The truth is, President Trump has been

relentlessly delivering on the promises he made to the American

people and America is back.

You know, since even before President

Trump took office, he has been writing for American jobs and

American workers.

For the past 100 days, President Trump has been

slashing through red tape, he has signed more bills cutting job

killing regulations than any president in American history.

He approved the keystone and Dakota pipelines, opened up offshore

drilling, he has put America back on a path

to energy independence and

under President Donald Trump, the war on coal is over.

Just this past week, President Trump laid out a

plan for one of the biggest tax cuts in American history.

We are going to cut taxes across the board, for

working families, small businesses and family farms.

Just a few minutes ago, the president took another

stand.

To make sure that trade deals benefit American workers first.

Folks, that's American leadership for the American people.

CHANTS OF USA

Make no mistake about it, President Trump

will not rest, will not relent, until we repeal and replace Obama

care.

And give the American people the world-class health care they

deserve.

The result of all this?

More than 500,000 new jobs have been

created since January 1st of this year.

President Trump's vision to buy American and hire American is

catching on with businesses all across the country.

Company after company are investing record

investments in American workers, billions of dollars, tens of

thousands of jobs.

As Ford motor company's chief executive put it,

their decision to build in America was a quote,

"vote of confidence" in President Trump's

vision for America.

The American people and our nation's small businesses have not

been this confident in a decade, and manufacturers, the beating heart

of Pennsylvania and the heartland of America, are more optimistic today

than any point in the last 20 years.

You know, across the board, our new president is doing exactly

what he said he would do.

It's driving all of them a little bit crazy.

In his first 100 days, President Trump has

signed more legislation and executive orders than any president

in more than 50 years.

And he has picked a world-class cabinet,

hasn't he?

Men and women working every day to make this country great and

strong, like Secretary Ben Carson and Ambassador Nikki Haley, and our

Secretary of Defence, Jim "Mad Dog" Mattis.

And President Trump has stood by by the God-given liberties of our

constitution without apology:

the sanctity of life, and the rights to keep and bear arms in the 2nd

Amendment of the Constitution.

And he nominated to the Supreme Court in

Justice Neil Gorsuch a Conservative jurist in the tradition of the late

and great justice Antonin Scalia, and the American people could not be

more proud.

Most important of all, President Donald Trump stood by

those who defend our families and our freedom at home and abroad.

In the first 100 days, President Trump

has kept his word, to stand by the men and women

in law enforcement, to secure our borders, and remove

dangerous criminal, illegal immigrants from our streets.

CROWD CHANTS: Build the wall!

You know, thanks to Mr President Trump's tough

immigration policies, illegal immigration is already down more

than 60% this year alone.

It's true.

As commander-in-chief, President Donald Trump is rebuilding our

military, restoring the arsenal of democracy

and President Trump is fighting every day to give our soldiers,

sailors, airmen, marines

and coast guard the resources and training they need to accomplish

their mission, protect our nation, and come home safe.

The president has actually proposed one of the biggest

increases in defence

spending since the days of President

Ronald Reagan.

And President Trump has taken decisive action, to

support those who have worn the uniform, and he is working every

day to make sure the veterans of our Armed Forces have the benefits they

have earned, including world-class

health care.

President Trump will make the strongest fighting force in

the world even stronger.

And with renewed American strength, President

Trump is standing with our allies and standing up to our enemies.

He's put Iran on notice, he's standing strong in the face of

threats from the regime in North Korea, and when the world saw our

President's strength and resolve in the actions he took in Syria and

Afghanistan, the credibility of American power was restored.

Thanks to President Donald Trump, Isis is on the run, in

Iraq, Syria, in Afghanistan, and we will not rest

until we destroy Isis once and for all.

CROWD CHANTS: USA!

In just 100 days, President Trump has turned America around.

And he is just getting started.

Under President Trump's leadership, we will make America safe again.

Under President Trump's leadership, we will make

America prosperous again.

And under President Trump's leadership, I know in my heart,

with your help, and with God's help, we will make America great again.

So with gratitude for his boundless energy, his optimism,

and the love he has shown every day for this country and the American

people for these last 100 days and beyond,

it is my high honour and distinct privilege to introduce

to you the president of the United States of America:

President Donald Trump.

# If tomorrow all the things were gone

# I'd worked for all my life, and I had to start

again

# With just my children

and my wife

# I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today

#'Cause the flag still stands for freedom

# And they can't take that away.

# And I'm proud to be American, where at least I know I'm free.

# Who gave that right

# And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still

today

# 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,

# God Bless the USA.

# From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,

# Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,

# From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to L.A,

# Well there's pride in every American heart,

# And it's time we stand and say #.

CROWD CHANTS: USA!

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, it is truly great to be

back in the wonderful, beautiful state of Pennsylvania.

I love this state, and I love the people of this state,

it's special and it carried us to a big, beautiful victory

on November eighth.

I want to recognise some of our friends that have helped us so much.

Congressman Scott Perry, GT Thompson, a couple

of my originals, Mike Kelly, who I watched on television,

he was great.

Where's Mike Kelly?

Where is Mike Kelly?

He's here someplace.

Where is he?

Boy, were you great on television this morning!

And of course, one of our other originals, Congressman Tom Marino.

Right?

Thank you, thank you Mike, thank you Tom.

As you know, there's another big gathering taking place

As you may know, there's another big gathering taking place

tonight in Washington, DC, did you hear about it?

BOOING

A large group of Hollywood actors...

BOOING

And Washington media...

BOOING

Are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom

in our nation's capital right now.

They are gathered together for the White House correspondents

dinner without the president.

And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100

miles away from Washington swamp, spending my evening with all of you.

And with a much, much larger crowd, and much better people, right?

Right?

And look at the media back there, they would actually rather be here,

I have to tell you.

BOOING

That's right.

Media outlets, like CNN and MSNBC, are fake news.

Fake news.

They are sitting, and they are wishing, in Washington,

they are watching right now.

They would love to be with us here tonight.

But they are trapped, at the dinner which will be very, very boring.

But next year, maybe we'll make it more exciting

for them in Washington, and we'll show up.

But we have a good chance of showing up here again next year too.

The truth is, there is no place I'd rather be than right

here in Pennsylvania to celebrate our 100 day milestone,

to reflect on an incredible journey together, and to get ready

for the great, great battles to come.

And that we will win in every case, OK?

We will win. Because make no mistake,

we are just beginning in our fight to make America great again.

Now before we talk about my first 100 days, which has been very

exciting and very productive, let's rate the media's 100 days.

Should we do that?

Because as you know, they are a disgrace.

According to a morning consult poll, more than half of Americans say

the media is out of touch with everyday Americans.

And they have proven that.

According to Media Research Centre, 89% of the media's coverage

of our administration has been a negative and

purposefully negative.

Perhaps that's because according to the Centre for Public integrity,

96% of journalists who made donations in the last election gave

them to our opponent.

Does anybody remember who our opponent was?

CHANTING

That was some opponent.

Finally, according to a poll last year, from the Associated Press,

only 6% of Americans have a lot of confidence in America.

That's very bad.

It's much lower than Congress, by the way.

But I will give you an example of something really incredible.

That's right, get them out of here.

Get them out.

BOOING

CROWD CHANTS: USA!

Thank you.

Do we love our law enforcement, or what?

And I want to thank the fire marshals, they have a lot

of people standing outside.

We really maxed out, we broke the all-time

record for this arena.

How old is this arena?

This is not...

We broke the all-time record.

And I don't have a guitar, which is pretty tough.

So just as an example of media, take the totally failing New York Times.

BOOING

Pretty soon they will only be on the Internet.

The paper is getting smaller and smaller.

You ever notice?

Starting to look like a comic book, it's getting smaller.

But I will tell you, because I watched and I used to be

in the real estate business, they sold their beautiful New York

Times building in Manhattan.

A cathedral to journalism, such a beautiful, beautiful building.

For around $130 million, and the group that bought its later

sold it for approximately $500 million.

Now they live at a very ugly office building in a crummy location.

Next, they buy the Boston Globe newspaper, with losses

for $1.3 billion.

Invest millions and millions and millions of dollars to get it

going, and in the end, they sell it for zero.

They give it away.

Then they write nasty editorials and op-eds telling me how I should

be handling world events in our country.

Tell me.

But that's what we have.

They are incompetent, dishonest people who after an election, had

to apologise because they covered it, us, me, but all of us.

They covered it so badly that they felt they were forced to

apologise because their predictions were so bad.

You remember their predictions?

They lost a lot of people because of the way they covered.

Here's the story.

If the media's job is to be honest, and to tell the truth,

then I think we would all agree the media deserves a very,

very big fat failing grade.

Very dishonest people.

Not all of them, we call at the fake news, not all of them.

Not all of them, we call it the fake news, not all of them.

You notice now they are using...

Everybody is using the word fake news.

Where did you hear first, folks?

By contrast, the last 100 days my administration has been

delivering every single day for the great citizens

of our country.

Whether it's putting our coalminers back to work,

protecting America's steel, and aluminium workers.

We love that steel and aluminium.

Eliminating job killing regulations, we are keeping one promise

after another, and frankly, the people are really

happy about it.

They see what is happening.

But to understand the historic progress that we have made,

we must speak honestly about the situation

that we and I inherited.

Because believe me, the previous administration gave us a mess.

For decades, our country has lived through the greatest jobs theft

in the history of the world.

You people know it better than anybody, in Pennsylvania.

Our factories were shutting, our steel mills closed down,

and our jobs were stolen away and shipped far away

to other countries.

Some of which you've never even heard of.

Politicians sent troops to protect the borders of foreign nations,

but left America's borders wide open for all to violate.

We've spent billions and billions of dollars on one global

project after another, and yet as gangs flooded

into our country, we could not even provide safety for our own people.

Our government rushed to join international agreements

where the United States pays the costs, and bears the burden

is while other countries get the benefits and pay nothing.

This includes deals like the one-sided Paris Climate Accord.

Where the United States pays billions of dollars

while China, Russia, and India, have contributed

and will contribute nothing.

Does that remind you of the Iran Deal?

How about that beauty, right?

On top of all of that, it's estimated that full compliance

with the agreement could ultimately shrink America's GDP by $2.5

trillion over a 10-year period, that means factories and plants

closing all over our country.

Here we go again.

Not with me, folks.

Those are the facts, whether we like them or not.

The dishonest media will not print them, will not report them,

because the Washington media is part of the problem, their priorities

are not my priorities and they are not your priorities.

Believe me.

Their agenda is not your agenda.

I will be making a big decision on the Paris Accord

over the next two weeks.

And, we will see what happens.

But they are all part of a broken system that has profited from this

global theft and plunder of American wealth at the expense

of the American worker.

We are not going to let other countries take

advantage of us any more.

Because from now on, it's going to be America first.

And I have to...

CROWD CHANTS: USA!

And I have to just interject, because as you know,

I have been a big critic of China.

I have been talking about currency manipulation for a long time.

But I had to tell you that during the election,

number one, they stopped.

But more importantly, just to show you the dishonesty,

we have currency manipulation by China, but China is helping us

possibly or probably, with the North Korean situation.

Which is a great thing.

Great thing.

I met with the president of China at great length in Florida,

and we had long, long talks, hours and hours and hours.

He's a good man.

Now he's representing China, he's not representing us,

but he's a good man.

I believe he wants to get that situation taken care of.

They have tremendous power and we will see what happens.

But the media said, Donald Trump refuses to name China

a currency manipulator.

Now, think of this.

We have to have a little flexibility.

I meet with the president of China.

I say, could you help us out with North Korea?

You give them 93% of their different materials that they need, the food.

You have a lot of power.

We have a great relationship.

Then the media says, why didn't he call Donald Trump?

And why didn't Donald Trump at a meeting say, "You're

a currency manipulator."

So here's the story.

"Listen, Mr President, will you help us out

with North Korea, but, by the way, you are

manipulating your currency."

Doesn't work, right.

You understand.

So instead of saying that, let's see what happens.

I honestly believe he's trying very hard.

Not an easy situation for China, believe me.

Not an easy situation but we have somebody there who's causing a lot

of trouble for the world.

seen they've sent back

the coal coming out of North Korea.

We'll see what happens.

I think it is not exactly the right time to call China a currency

manipulator right now.

Do we agree with that?

But they never say that, they say - why didn't he do it?

So, I promised you, in my inaugural address, 100 days ago,

that now arrives the hour of action.

And we've, believe me, started from day 1.

And that is what we've delivered.

100 days of action.

In fact, those people and others are exhausted.

They've never seen anything like that.

They've never seen anything like this.

We are ending the off-shoring and bringing back our beautiful,

wonderful, great American job.

APPLAUSE

We are eradicating the criminal gangs and cartels that

have infiltrated our country.

You are reading about them all the time.

Some of you have big problems with them.

Thank you for that sign.

"Blacks for Trump" I love that guy.

Thank you, man, that's great, that's really

cool, I appreciate it.

And we are taking steps to renegotiate or cancel any

agreement that fails to protect American interests.

Here are just some of our great achievements

from the first 100 days.

And I will tell you, in addition to that,

we have built such strong foundations with the leaders

of foreign countries and we're set to rock but we've great

relationships with Germany and Japan and China and so many others.

The UK.

Such great relationships.

That's part of the process.

We've appointed and confirmed a brand new justice

of the United States Supreme Court.

APPLAUSE

Justice Neil Gorsuch, who'll uphold the constitution

and the right of Americans to govern their own affairs.

And the last time a new Supreme Court Justice was confirmed

in the first 100 days was 136 years ago, in 1881, and I was devastated

to hear that because I thought I would be the only one

to have done that.

It's a long time ago.

To protect our jobs and our economic freedom, I immediately withdrew

the United States from the horrible, disastrous, would have been

another Nafta but worse, transpacific partnership.

That would have taken your jobs in Pennsylvania,

that I can tell you.

That was a total hoax.

The TPP would have been a tremendous disaster for our country.

And we are not going to surrender Pennsylvania jobs ever again,

we have done that once before, it's not going to happen.

We have just launched an investigation into foreign steel

dumping, and aluminium dumping throughout our country.

We are reviewing every single trade deal and wherever

there is cheating, we will take immediate action and

there will be penalty.

We have with us tonight Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross,

and one of the great, great people on fair trade and good

trade, Mr Peter Navarro.

Thank you.

And we will renegotiate Nafta, and if we didn't get a good deal

and a fair deal for our country, and I have been saying for a long

time, we will either renegotiate or we will terminate.

I announced the other day, we were going to terminate,

everybody said we will terminate.

Two people that I like very much, the president of Mexico

and Prime Minister of Canada, they called up and said,

could we negotiate?

I said yes, we can renegotiate.

So we will start a renegotiation.

Hopefully it will be fair for everybody.

And if it's not a fair deal for our country,

because you have to understand - we have been on the wrong

side of the Nafta deal with Canada and with a Mexico

for many, many years.

Many decades.

We can't allow it to happen.

So we are going to renegotiate, and if we can't make a fair deal

for our companies and our workers, we will terminate Nafta.

OK?

Our directives will put brand-new Pennsylvania steel

into the spine of America.

We have ordered billions and billions of dollars in unpaid

duties to be collected at the border from countries that break the rules,

and that's just starting.

It's going to be a lot coming in.

We just want fairness, and I followed through on my promise

and issued a new government directive to buy American

and hire American.

In just these first few months, we have created 99,000

new reconstruction jobs, 40,000 new manufacturing jobs,

and 27,000 new mining jobs.

Who are our miners here?

The miners finally, we are taking care of our miners.

We love our miners.

We have over 600,000 new jobs, and by the way, the stock

market since our election, is through the roof.

I believe from the point of the election, isn't it too bad

that the Obama administration gets a lot of credit for those

couple of months, but...

It's all right.

We're doing fine.

But they get credit for that, because people started going wild

with the stock, but...

I believe we have a record, from the time we got elected,

from November 8, we have a record, an all-time

record, for the biggest increase in the stock market.

So, I'm very happy about that.

We have removed the shackles on energy exploration imposed

by the last administration.

Lifting the restrictions on the production of oil,

shale, and natural gas.

And very importantly for Pennsylvania, we have ended

the war on beautiful, clean coal, and we are putting our

great coal miners back to work.

We love our miners.

I'm also very pleased to say that we have finally cleared the way

for the construction of the Keystone XL and the Dakota Access pipelines.

48,000 new jobs.

They couldn't get their approvals, we got them

their approvals in 24 hours.

One day.

I want to tell you, the heads of those two companies, they did not

know what the hell happened.

They said how "did this happen?"

They should go to bed and say their prayers.

But that's going to be approximately 48,000 jobs.

My administration has also scrapped a job

killing regulation that was threatening

our autoworkers.

We want more cars made in the USA, and that's going to happen.

We have created a new rule which requires that for every one

new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated.

We have signed massive executive orders clearing up

the environmental bureaucracy.

We are going to have jobs, and you are seeing them already.

We have also been very busy on the legislative front,

which we have gotten no credit for, and yet I am signing away.

I have signed 29 new bills, a record not surpassed

since the Truman administration.

This includes 13 resolutions to eliminate intrusive

federal regulations, the most ever signed in our history.

In keeping our promise to our veterans, I have signed legislation

to extend veterans choice.

And David, the head of Veterans Administration,

is here with us tonight.

David Shulkin.

He's done an incredible job.

He's done an incredible job.

And we have increased by 42% the approval for veterans

using the choice programme.

I have also created an office of accountability at the VA,

our message to federal workers is clear.

If you fail our veterans, you will be held accountable, first time.

To create accountability across government, I have issued

a five-year ban on federal officials becoming lobbyists after they leave

government service.

I've got a lot of people in my staff who are not exactly

happy with that one, but that's OK.

I have issued a lifetime ban on federal officials becoming

lobbyists for a foreign government.

I've imposed these bans for a simple reason -

it is time to drain the swamp...

And that's what we're doing in Washington DC.

Perhaps in no area have past governments sold out special

interests and foreign lobbyists more than on the issue of immigration.

Year after year you've pleaded for Washington to enforce

our laws, as illegal immigration surged, refugees flooded

in and lax vetting threatened your families' safety and security.

Your pleas have finally been...

CROWD CHANTS: Build the wall!

Oh, don't worry, we're going to have the wall,

don't worry about it.

CROWD CHANTS: Build the wall!

You know we've done so well at the border a lot of people are

saying - oh, wow, maybe the President doesn't need the wall.

We need the wall to stop the drugs and the human trafficking.

We need the wall.

In just 100 days we have taken historic steps to secure our border,

imposed needed immigration control, like you've never seen before.

Is that true?

And properly screen and vet those seeking admission into our country.

They are going to come in because they love our country, we're

not taking them otherwise.

We are operating on a very simple principle that our immigration

system should put the needs of American workers, American

families, American companies and American citizens first.

I appointed a great military general, John Kelly,

to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Since my election, we've already achieved an unprecedented 73%

reduction in illegal crossings on our southern border.

The greatest reduction in the history of our country

and we just started.

The world is getting the message - if you try to illegally

enter the United States, you will be caught, detained,

deported, or put in prison and it will happen.

As I campaigned across the nation, I met with the grieving mothers

and fathers of children who had been killed, viciously killed, violently

killed by illegal immigrants.

I made them a promise: We will protect American lives,

your family member will not have died in vain.

Last week we opened an office to support the victims

of immigration crime, called VOICE, to make sure that no

American victim is ever again ignored by their government.

It's not going to happen any more.

And many people are now talking, as I just said, and using this

tremendous early progress on the border to say we don't

need the kind of safety that we really do need,

including the wall.

We need safety, we need cameras.

We need all of the things that we're going to be putting in and we need

the wall and we will build the wall, as sure as you are

standing there tonight.

We need the wall.

APPLAUSE.

CROWD CHANTS: Build the wall!

We'll build the wall, folks, don't even worry about it.

Go to sleep.

Go home, go to sleep, rest assured.

That's the final thing, we need it.

We need it and if the Democrats knew what the hell they were doing,

they would achieve it so easy because we want to stop

they would approve it so easy because we want to stop

crime in our country, obviously they don't mind illegals

coming in, they don't mind drugs pouring in.

They don't mind, excuse me, MS13, coming in.

We're getting them all out of here.

Members of Congress, who'll be voting on border security

have a simple choice, they can either vote to help drug

cartels and criminal aliens trying toenter the United States,

cartels and criminal aliens trying to enter the United States,

like, frankly the Democrats are doing, or they can vote to help

American citizens and American families be safe.

That's the choice.

Who do you want to represent you?

Unfortunately Democrats in Congress have no leadership.

They're rudderless.

Senator Schumer is a bad leader.

BOOING

I've known him a long time.

He is a bad leader, not a natural leader at all.

He works hard to study leadership.

When you have to study leadership you've go the problems.

When you have to study leadership you've got problems.

And his policies are hurting innocent Americans and making it

easier for drug dealers to enter our country.

Schumer is weak on crime and wants to raise your

taxes through the roof.

He is a poor leader.

I've known him a long time, and he's leading the Democrats to doom.

It's sad to see for our country, what is happening

to the Democrat party.

At the heart of my administration's efforts to restore the law,

has been a nationwide crackdown on criminal gangs and that

means taking the fight to the sancturary cities that

shield these dangerous criminals.

The last, very weak administration allowed thousands of gang members

to cross our borders and enter into our communities where

they wreaked havoc on our citizens.

As you know, the bloodthirsty cartel known as MS13 has

infiltrated our schools, threatening innocent children.

We've seen the horrible assault and many killings

We've seen the horrible assaults and many killings

all over Long Island, where I grew up.

We have seen the vicious spread of transnational

gangs into all 50 states, and the human suffering

they bring with them.

I have been with the parents, I have seen the parents.

It's devastation.

A very respected General recently told me that MS13 are the equivalent

in their meanness to Al-Qaeda.

My administration will not rest until we have dismantled these

violent gangs and we are doing it rapidly and we are sending them

the hell out of our country, we are sending them back home

where they belong.

One by one, we are finding the illegal immigrant drug dealers,

gang members, and killers and removing them from our country.

And once they are gone, folks, you see what we are doing?

They will not let them back in.

They are not coming back.

In this effort to restore safety to our country,

we are going to strongly support the incredible men and women

of law enforcement.

I just signed an executive order directing Attorney-General Jeff

Sessions to combat crimes of violence against our police,

and the Department of Justice is now prioritising the prosecution

of criminals who attack officers of the law.

We are also working round the clock to keep our nation

safe from terrorism.

My administration has taken historic steps to improve screening

and vetting for those seeking visas to enter the United States.

We have seen the attacks from 9/11 to Boston, to San Bernardino.

We have seen the bloodshed overseas, you look at what is happening

in other countries.

We already have enough problems to worry about in the United States

which we love so much.

We don't need to be admitted and people who want to press, hurt,

We don't need to be admitting people who want to oppress, hurt,

or kill innocent Americans.

They are not coming in.

Let me state this as clearly as I possibly can.

We are going to keep radical Islamic terrorists

the hell out of our country.

CHEERING

So, I have a question for you.

You have been to a lot of rallies, you have seen a lot of rallies.

First of all, is there any place like a Trump rally?

In all fairness.

CROWD: No!

So, I did this a little bit during the rally,

I haven't done it in a long time.

Who has heard the poem called The Snake?

So I have it, does anybody want to hear it again?

Are you sure?

OK.

Let's dedicate this to General Kelly, the border patrol,

and the ICE agents for doing such an incredible job.

Alright.

This was written by Al Wilson a long time ago.

I thought of it having to do with our borders

and people coming in, and we know what we're going to

have, were going to have problems.

have, we're going to have problems.

We have to very carefully vet, we have to be smart,

we have to be vigilant.

Here it is, the Snake.

It's called the Snake.

"On her way to work one morning, down the path along the lake.

A tenderhearted woman saw a poor, half-frozen snake.

His pretty coloured skin had been all frosted with the dew.

Poor thing, she cried.

I'll take you in!

And I'll take care of you."

The border.

"Take me in O tender woman, take me in for heaven sake.

"Take me in O tender woman, take me in for heaven's sake.

Take me in O tender woman, sighed the vicious snake.

She wrapped him up all cosy, in a comforter of silk.

And laid him by her fireside, with some honey and some milk.

APPLAUSE

She hurried home from work that night, and as soon as she arrived,

she found that pretty snake she'd taken in, had been revived.

Take me in, O tender woman, take me in for heaven sake.

Take me in, O tender woman, sighed that vicious snake.

She clutched him to her bosom.

You're so beautiful, she cried.

But if I had not brought you in by now, oh heavens,

you would have died.

She stroked his pretty skin again, and kissed him and held him tight.

But instead of saying, thank you, that snake gave her a vicious bite.

Take me in, O tender woman, take me in for heaven sake.

Take me in, O tender woman, sighed the vicious snake.

I have saved you, cried the woman.

And you've bitten me!

Heavens, why?

You know your bite is poisonous, and now I'm going to die.

Oh shut up silly woman, said the reptile with a grin.

You knew damn well I was a snake, before you took me in."

APPLAUSE

Does that explain it, folks?

Does that explain?

Keeping America safe also means rebuilding our defences.

Under the leadership of General Mad Dog Mattis,

and he is doing great, he is doing great.

And by the way, he is the man that recommended

General Kelly.

I said - Maddog you've got to give me a great

general for the border.

He gave me a great general, General Kelly.

We've begun the process of rebuilding our

military and restoring full readiness.

We are also protecting taxpayer dollars.

I've already saved more than $725 million on a simple

order of F-35 planes.

I got involved in the negotiation.

And there's billions of dollars to be saved on

that and many other things.

We've also stepped up the fight against

Isis and we will not stop until Isis has been destroyed.

APPLAUSE

At the same time, we've strengthened

our friendships and alliances all around the world.

For instance, we were very proud to quietly work with

the Egyptian government last week, to ensure that an American citizen,

a beautiful young woman, named Iya, came home, after being in an

Egyptian prison for the past three years.

She was going to be there for another 28 years.

President Obama worked diligently for three years,

didn't get them out.

I met with President El-Sisi there and it worked out

quickly and he was great.

He was great about it.

And not only did and not only did the court system

in Egypt and President El-Sisi let her out,

but they let out her husband

and they let out a total of eight people that were innocent

and they are all back here right now.

Now, they won't include that in the 100 days but I'm very proud

to have done it and she is a happy young woman, believe

me, she's very happy.

I said, "How tough was it in that prison?"

She said, "You don't want to know.

That was a tough prison."

We are also getting Nato countries to contribute their fair share,

they're beginning to increase their contribution by billions

of dollars but we are not going to be satisfied until everyone

pays what they owe and I've been complaining about that for a long

time and it is a lot different now but they still owe a lot of money.

Over the last eight years, America's average military

and defence spending was double what all other Nato

countries spent, combined.

Not fair.

As we worked to get other countries to pay their fair share abroad,

we will continue our rebuilding at home.

We're rebuilding everything including, by the way,

our great military.

We will have the finest military that we have ever had at any time

in the history of our country.

Last week my economic team outlined one of the biggest tax cuts

in American history, even bigger than that

of Ronald Reagan.

We are proposing major tax relief for the middle class,

and lowering the business tax from 35% all the way down to 15%.

APPLAUSE

And you will see companies expand, companies come

back into our country, companies not leave our country

any more because taxes and regulations are so ownerous.

You will see what happens.

Let me also be very clear in saying that we are going to save American's

healthcare and repeal and replace that disaster known as Obamacare

which is dying, dying, dying.

Obamacare is dead, anyway, folks.

You know, they always like to compare - well

what about Obamacare?

Oh, Obamacare it's dead, it's gone.

The increases were massive this year, they are going to be bigger

this year and the insurance companies are fleeing.

One of the top people in the insurance industry said -

Obamacare is in a death spiral, there is nothing they can do.

So they can't compare something to it because it

won't be there very long.

Believe me it can't be there very long.

It is not working, it is a failure.

Under Obamacare we have seen double and triple digit hikes in prepare

premiums and many Americans left with only a single insurer to chose

from and now many of those insurers are fleeing also.

You have places like the great state of Tennessee,

where I left two weeks ago, where half of the state already has

no insurance carrier.

And many others.

So, Obamacare is a catastrophe created by Democrats in Congress.

They know it is no good.

They know it's not working.

By the way, we are going to get something great.

We are going to get the premiums down, we are going to get

the deductibles way down.

We're going to take care of every single need you will want to have

taken care of but it's not going to cost that kind of money.

We are going to bring it down.

You will see it, premiums down, we are going to repeal and replace

Obamacare, you watch.

We are going to give Americans the freedom to purchase the health

care plans they want, not the health care forced

on them by the government.

And I'll be so angry at Congressman Kelly

and Congressman Marino and all of our Congressmen in this

room if we don't get that damned thing passed quickly.

They'll get it done.

We know them, they'll get it done.

In all things, we are returning power to the people

where it belongs.

We are going to defend the Second Amendment.

APPLAUSE

And your right to keep and bear arms.

We are going to bring education local and we are

going to end common core.

We are going to stop federal overreach and defend the God-given

rights of every American family.

Just imagine what we could accomplish if we all started working

together to rebuild this nation, the nation that we so dearly love.

Our jobs will come back home.

Our dying factories will come roaring back to life.

It will be a beautiful thing to watch and this is what's

going to happen in the United States of America and it's going

to happen soon and it's actually already happening.

Cities, small and large, will see a rebirth of hope,

safety and opportunity.

America's children will be taught to love their country and take pride

in our great American flag.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And other countries, and you see that happening,

will finally treat America

and our citizens with the respect that our country

and our citizens deserve.

It's time for all of us to remember that we are one people, with one

great American destiny.

And that whether we are black or brown or

white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

And we all share the same glorious freedoms of our

magnificent country.

We are all made by the same Almighty God.

As long as we remember these truths, we will

not fail, we will never fail.

We are Americans and the future belongs to us.

The future belongs to all of you.

So with hope in our souls, and patriotism in our hearts, I say

these words to you tonight on 100 days of devotion.

Hard work and love for our great country.

Together, we will make America strong again.

We will make America wealthy again.

We will make America prosper again.

We will make America proud again.

We will make America safe again.

We will make America great again.

Thank you, God bless you.

Thank you.
