Then he got into the substance of his presidency, saying, “Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid. I terminated the ridiculous green new scam.
“I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate Accord, which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying. I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization, and I also withdrew from the anti-American U.N. Human Rights Council.
“We ended all of Biden’s environmental restrictions that were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable. And importantly, we ended the last administration’s insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto workers and companies from economic destruction.”
1) Trump ending the EV mandate hurts Tesla and will cost Elon Musk billions.
He said, “A major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is rapidly reducing the cost of energy. The previous administration cut the number of new oil and gas leases by 95%, slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than 100 power plants. We are opening up many of those power plants right now. And frankly, we have never seen anything like it.”
Yes, he said drill, baby, drill.
He said, “My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea and other nations want to be our partner with investments of trillions of dollars each. It’s never been anything like that one. It will be truly spectacular. It’s all set to go. The permitting has gotten [started] and later this week, I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA.”
Get ready because here it comes. Back when the news channels delivered news instead of opinions that would have been the lead story.
2) The DOGE findings.
He said, “Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old. It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119. I don’t know any of them. I know some people that are rather elderly, but not quite that elderly. 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129, 3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139, 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149, and money is being paid to many of them, and we’re searching right now. In fact, Pam, good luck, good luck. You’re going to find it. But a lot of money is paid out to people, because it just keeps getting paid and paid, and nobody does, and it really hurts Social Security and hurts our country, 1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159 and over 130,000 people, according to the Social Security databases, are age over 160 years old. We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby.”
Again, that should have been Page One news followed the next day with a Page One editorial condemning having nearly 20 million people enrolled in Social Security (either paying in or taking out) with fake birthdays.
3) No tax on tips, no tax overtime and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors.”
“We are draining the swamp, it’s very simple, and the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over. And the next phase of our plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is for this Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody. They’re in there, they’re waiting for you to vote.
“And I’m sure that the people on my right—I don’t mean the Republican right, but my right, right here—I’m sure you’re going to vote for those tax cuts, because otherwise I don’t believe the people will ever vote you into office. So I’m doing you a big favor by telling you that.
“But I know this group is going to be voting for the tax cut. A very, very big part of our plan, we had tremendous success in our first term with it, a very big part of our plan. We’re seeking permanent income tax cuts all across the board and to get urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially hard by inflation. I’m calling for no tax on tips, no tax overtime and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors.”
Dropping the tax on tips means waitresses will no longer have to keep tabs on them, which is one less chore imposed by a government that doesn’t realize what it is doing. If you are making less than minimum wage, you should not have to pay an income tax.
Dropping the OT tax means workers will pocket all of the time-and-a-half instead of splitting it with Uncle Sam.
Dropping the Social Security benefits tax is a benefits increase for 56% of retirees. You made us pay in, keep your mitts off what we take out.
Trump said, “I also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible, but only if the car is made in America. Oh, and by the way, we’re going to have growth in the auto industry like nobody’s ever seen. Plants are opening up all over the place. Deals are being made like never seen. That’s a combination of the election win and tariffs. It’s a beautiful word, isn’t it?
“That that along with our other policies will allow our auto industry to absolutely boom. It’s going to boom. Spoke to the majors today. All three, the top people and they’re so excited. In fact, already numerous car companies have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants in America, with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana, one of the largest anywhere in the world.”
