President Trump delivers special address to the nation

Good evening America

11 months ago I inherited a mess and I'm fixing

it

When I took office inflation was the worst in 48

years and some would say in the history of our

country which caused prices to be higher than ever before

making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans

This happened during a Democrat administration and it's when we

first began hearing the word affordability

Our border was open and because of this our country

was being invaded by an army of 25 million people

many who came from prisons and jails mental institutions and

insane asylums

They were drug dealers gang members and even 11,888 murderers

more than 50% of whom killed more than one person

This is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to

our country

And it can never be allowed to happen again

We had men playing in women's sports transgender for everybody

crime at record levels with law enforcement and words such

as that just absolutely forbidden

We had the worst trade deals ever made and our

country was laughed at from all over the world but

they're not laughing anymore

Over the past 11 months we have brought more positive

change to Washington than any administration in American history

There's never been anything like it and I think most

would agree

I was elected in a landslide winning the popular vote

and all seven swing states and everything else with a

mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system that

really just took the wealth from people and crushed the

dreams of the American people

For the last 4 years the United States was ruled

by politicians who fought only for insiders illegal aliens career

criminals corporate lobbyists prisoners terrorists and above all foreign nations

which took advantage of us at level

Never seen before they flooded your cities and towns with

illegal aliens

They decimated your hard earned savings

They indoctrinated your children with hate for America

Released really I mean they just released a level of

violent felons that we had never seen to prey on

innocent

They caused war

They caused mayhem

They caused a horrible situation all over the globe but

now

You have a president who fights for the law abiding

hardworking people of our country the ones who make this

nation run who make this nation work and after just

one year we have achieved more than anyone could have

imagined

Starting on day one I took immediate action to stop

the invasion of our southern border

For the past 7 months 0 illegal aliens have been

allowed into our country a feat which everyone said was

absolutely impossible

Do you remember when Joe Biden said that he needed

Congress to pass legislation to help close the border He

was always blaming Congress and everyone else

As it turned out we didn't need legislation

We just needed a new president

We inherited the worst border anywhere in the world and

we quickly turned it into the strongest border in the

history of our country

In other words in a few short months we went

from worst to best

We're deporting criminals restoring safety to our most dangerous cities

Just take a look at Washington DC

It's at levels of safety that we've never seen before

and they decimated the bloodthirsty foreign drug cartels

We did that all by ourselves with our people and

we're so proud of it because they were poisoning and

destroying our population

Drugs brought in by ocean and by sea are now

down 94%

We have broken the grip of sinister woke radicals in

our schools and control over those schools is back now

in the hands of our great and loving states where

education belongs

After rebuilding the United States military in my first term

And with the addition we are adding right now we

have the most powerful military anywhere in the world and

it's not even close

I've restored American strength settled 8 wars in 10 months

destroyed the Iran nuclear threat and ended the war in

Gaza bringing for the first time in 3000 years peace

to the Middle East and secured the release of the

hostages both living and dead

Here at home we're bringing our economy back from the

brink of ruin

The last administration and their allies in Congress looted our

treasury for trillions of dollars driving up prices and everything

at levels never seen before

I am bringing those high prices down and bringing them

down very fast

Let's look at the facts

Under the Biden administration car prices rose 22% and in

many states 30% or more

Gasoline rose 30 to 50%

Hotel rates rose 37%

Airfares rose 31%

Now under our leadership they're all coming down and coming

down fast

Democrat politicians also sent the cost of groceries soaring but

we are solving that too

The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down 33% compared

to the Biden last year

The price of eggs is down 82% since March and

everything else is falling rapidly

And it's not done yet but boy are we making

progress

Nobody can believe what's going on

Here are just some of the efforts that we have

underway

You will see in your wallets and bank accounts in

the new year

After years of record setting falling incomes our policies are

boosting take-home pay at a historic pace

Under Biden real wages plummeted by $3000

Under Trump the

factory worker is seeing a wage increase of $1300

For construction workers it's $1800

For miners we're bringing back clean beautiful coal

It's $3300

And for the first time in years wages are rising

much faster than inflation

Remember that the wages just look at it wages are

going up much faster than inflation

How big is that Very importantly there are more people

working today than at any time in American history and

100% of all jobs created since I took office have

been in the private sector

Think of that

100% of all jobs have been in the private sector

rather than government which is the only way to make

a country powerful and great

This historic trend will continue

Already I've secured a record breaking $18 trillion of investment

into the United States which means jobs wage increases growth

factory openings and far greater national security

Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs my

favorite word tariffs which for many decades have been used

successfully by other countries against us but not anymore

Companies know that if they build in America there are

no tariffs and that's why they're coming home to the

USA in record numbers

They're building

Factories and plants at levels we haven't seen AI automobiles

We're doing what nobody thought was even possible not even

remotely possible

There has never frankly been anything like it

One year ago our country was dead

We were absolutely dead

Our country was ready to fail totally failed

Now with a Hottest country anywhere in the world and

that's said by every single leader that I've spoken to

over the last 5 months

Next year you will also see the results of the

largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished

through our great big beautiful bill perhaps the most sweeping

legislation ever passed in Congress

We wrapped 12 different bills up into one beautiful bill

that includes no tax on tips no tax on overtime

and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors

Under these cuts many families will be saving between $11,000

and $20,000 a year and next spring is projected to

be the largest tax refund season of all time

Because of tariffs along with the just passed one big

beautiful bill tonight I am also proud to announce that

more than 1,450,000 think of this 1,450,000 military service members

will receive

A special we call warrior dividend before Christmas a warrior

dividend in honor of our nation's founding in 1776 we

are sending every soldier $1,776

Think of that and the checks are already on the

way

Nobody understood that one until about 30 minutes ago

We made a lot more money than anybody thought because

of tariffs and the bill helped us along

Nobody deserves it more than our military and I say

congratulations to everybody

And by the way we now have record enlistment in

our military and last year we had among the worst

recruitment numbers in our military's history

What a difference a year makes

In addition I'm doing what no politician of either party

has ever done standing up to the special interests to

dramatically reduce the price of prescription drugs

I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations

which were taking advantage of our country for many decades

to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much

as 400 500 and even 600%

In other words your drug costs will be plummeting downward

And I use the threat of tariffs to get foreign

countries who would never have done it to pay the

cost of this giant dollar reduction

They stopped ripping us off and it began as of

4 days ago

There has never been anything like this in the history

of our country

Drugs have only gone up but now they'll be going

down by numbers never conceived possible

It's called Most favored nation

And no president has ever had the courage or ability

to get this done until now

The first of these unprecedented price reductions will be available

starting in January through a new website trumprx.gov

And these big price cuts will greatly reduce the cost

of healthcare

I'm also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that

have gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that

should go directly to the people

The money should go to the people

That's you

So they can buy their own health insurance which will

give far better benefits at much lower cost

It will be far better health insurance

The current Unaffordable Care Act was created to make insurance

companies rich

It was

health care at much too higher cost and you see

that now in the steep increase in premiums being demanded

by the Democrats and they are demanding those increases and

it's their fault

It is not the Republicans' fault

It's the Democrats' fault

It's the Unaffordable Care Act and everybody knew it

Again I want the money to go directly to the

people so you can buy your own healthcare

You'll get much better health care at a much lower

price

The only losers will be insurance companies that have gotten

rich and the Democrat Party which is totally controlled by

those same insurance companies

They will not be happy but that's OK with me

because you the people are finally going to be getting

great health care at a lower cost

Another major focus is the cost of energy

For years the radical left Democrats exploited the green energy

scam as an excuse to funnel many billions of dollars

into their own massive slush funds as their energy restrictions

drastically drove up prices and they drove them up at

record levels

Electricity costs surged 30% to 100% under Biden

And the typical family lost $5000 to $10,000 in higher

energy costs

Think of that $5000 to $10,000 you lost on day

one

I declared a national energy emergency

Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon in much of

the country

In some states it by the way just hit $1.99

a gallon

And within the next 12 months we will have opened

1600 new electrical generating plants a record and it's a

record that won't be beaten by practically I would say

by anybody or certainly not very soon

Prices on electricity and everything else will fall dramatically

The Democrat inflation disaster again the worst in the history

of our country also robbed millions of Americans of home

ownership and indeed the American dream

The yearly cost of a typical new mortgage increased by

$15,000 under Democrat rule

In 11 months

We've already gotten that annual cost down by $3000 and

it's coming down a lot lower

Wait until you see the

Numbers are going to be shocking and I'll soon announce

our next chairman of the Federal Reserve someone who believes

in lower interest rates by a lot and mortgage payments

will be coming down even further early in the new

year and you will see this in the new year

I will announce some of the most aggressive housing reform

plans in American history

A major factor in driving up housing costs was the

colossal border invasion

We have never been invaded

This is the worst thing that frankly in my opinion

the worst thing that the Biden administration did to our

country is the invasion at the border

The last administration and their allies in Congress brought in

millions and millions of migrants and gave them taxpayer-funded housing

while your rent and housing costs skyrocketed

Over 60% of growth in the rental market came from

far

Foreign migrants at the same time illegal aliens stole American

jobs and flooded emergency rooms getting free healthcare and education

paid for by you the American taxpayer

They also increased the cost of law enforcement by numbers

so high

That they are not even to be mentioned

For the first time in 50 years we are now

seeing reverse migration as migrants go back home leaving more

housing and more jobs for Americans

In the year before my election all net creation of

jobs was going to foreign migrants

Since I took office 100% of all net job creation

has gone to American-born citizens

100%

In the end government either serves the productive patriotic hardworking

American citizen or it serves those who break the laws

cheat the system and seek power and profit at the

expense of our nation

Look at Minnesota where Somalians have taken over the economics

of the state and have stolen billions and billions of

dollars from Minnesota and indeed from the United States of

America and we're going to put an end to it

for so long as before my election

The vast majority of good and decent Americans were forced

to watch as corrupt politicians plundered the halls of power

exploited our taxpayers and pillaged every system that makes civilized

society function but not anymore and you see that every

day not anymore

We're putting America first and we are making America great

again

Very simple

We are making America great again

Tonight after 11 months our border is secure inflation has

stopped wages are up prices are down

Our nation is strong

America is respected and our country is back stronger than

ever before

We're poised for an economic boom the likes of which

the world has never seen

Soon we will host the World Cup and the Olympics

both of which I got

But most importantly we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of

the Declaration of Independence

There could be no more fitting tribute to this epic

milestone than to complete the comeback of America that began

just one year ago

When the world looks at us next year let them

see a nation that is loyal to its citizens faithful

to its workers confident to its identity certain to its

destiny

And the envy of the entire globe we are respected

again like we have never been respected before

To each and every one of you have a merry

Christmas and a happy New Year

God bless you all
