Trump delivers third State of the Union speech

Just as we believe in the First Amendment, we also believe in another Constitutional right that is under siege all across our country. So long as I am President I will always protect your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We have launched ambitious new initiatives to substantially improve care for Americans with kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, and those struggling with mental health challenges. And because the Congress funded my request, we are pursuing new cures for childhood cancer, and we will eradicate the AIDS epidemic in America by the end of the decade.

At the same time, he said Washington has improved ties with Beijing, claiming, "We have perhaps the best relationship we have ever had with China, including with President Xi." Democrats also believe that Trump has failed to fulfill his pledges to rejuvenate industrial America and that his trade policies had mainly backfired. "American workers are hurting . . . Wages have stagnated, while CEO pay has skyrocketed," Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governor of Michigan, said in the text of her party’s response to the president’s remarks. "I am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been," he added.

Among the States hardest hit, Ohio is down 22 percent, Pennsylvania is down 18 percent, Wisconsin is down 10 percent — and we will not quit until we have beaten the opioid epidemic once and for all. This will be a tremendous boon to our already very-strongly guarded southern border where, as we speak, a long, tall, and very powerful wall is being built. We have now completed over 100 miles and will have over 500 miles fully completed by early next year. Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far. With the tremendous progress we have made over the past 3 years, America is now energy independent, and energy jobs, like so many elements of our country, are at a record high. We are doing numbers that no one would have thought possible just 3 years ago.

Thanks to modern medical wonders, 50 percent of very premature babies delivered at the hospital where Ellie was born now survive. Our goal should be to ensure that every baby has the medicare agent best chance to thrive and grow just like Ellie. That is why I am asking the Congress to provide an additional $50 million to fund neo-natal research for America’s youngest patients.

Everybody said that Criminal Justice Reform could not be done, but I got it done, and the people in this room got it done. The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years — and last year, women filled 72 percent of all new jobs added. Our agenda is relentlessly pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth, and, most of all, pro-American.
