In a captivating segment of Meet the Press, former President Donald J. Trump took the opportunity to reflect on the milestones achieved during his first 100 days in office, while also laying out his vision for future accomplishments. Trump assured viewers that his commitment to fortifying national borders, eliminating dangerous criminals, reducing costs, dismantling longstanding globalist trade policies, and ultimately “Making America Great Again” remains unwavering.
Here are the key takeaways you might have missed:
- On Prices: “Grocery prices are down. Oil prices are down. Energy costs are down significantly, including gasoline.”
- On Border Security: “The border is secure. Doesn’t it sound reassuring after years of neglect by the previous administration?”
- On Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security: “We will not be cutting Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security.”
- On Deporting Violent Criminals: “We have thousands of dangerous individuals among us, and I was elected to remove them. Unfortunately, the courts are preventing that action.”
- On Tariffs: “Keep in mind, there are no tariffs if you produce your products domestically. It’s that straightforward.”
- On the Auto Industry: “The automotive sector is poised to prosper due to tariffs. Even the union head, initially skeptical of me, has acknowledged the unprecedented support for the industry.”
- On Iran: “I wish for Iran to thrive and prosper—just not with nuclear weapons. The Iranian populace is remarkable, but a nuclear armament would spell disaster for the world.”
- On Fraud Investigation: “They uncovered $160 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse. I commend their efforts; we’re not done yet, and the team moving forward is impressive.”
- On Border Emergency: “The real emergency lies in the thousands we need to deport while facing judges who insist everyone must go through court. Are we really ready for millions of court cases?”
- On Trade: “We’re generating significant revenue now. Previously, we were losing over $5 billion daily, but soon we’ll be in a position to profit every day.”
- On Peace in Ukraine: “I sense we’re moving closer to a resolution with one faction, but the animosity between the two sides is palpable.”
- On China Tariffs: “Eventually, I will reduce tariffs, as otherwise, conducting business with them will be untenable, especially since their economy is struggling.”
