Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Midterm Political Rally in Michigan - October 25, 2026

Wow. Whoa. Hello. Wow. [Audience chants "USA"]

Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What a crowd. You know, my competitor was here yesterday. He didn't have a crowd like this, I can tell you. You know, they used the word sparse. It was sparse. This is not sparse. You know, outside you have 20,000 people trying to get in. So, so if anybody would like to give up their ticket, would anybody, some of the Front Row Joes, would any Front Row Joe like to give up? Well, thank you very much and a very special hello to Michigan.

This is, this is a great place and, boy, am I bringing back the auto business to Michigan like, like, like has never happened in the history of our country before. But I'm thrilled to be back in this incredible state, which we won two years ago in a very big, very big manner. We did great. We did great. And I won it first year, won it second year, won it third year, you know?

We won it all. We gotta be careful with the cheating vote counters, though. That's one thing I gotta tell you, please. Will you please watch it, fellas? Especially with Benson, you gotta watch it. [Audience boos]

Bad things happen with the vote counters, so we gotta be careful. But we won it big just a little less than a, little less than two years ago and we're really doing --

[A protester disrupts the rally]

Oooh. We have a paid protester. We have a paid protester. [Audience boos]

Just get him out of here, please. [Audience chants "USA"]

You know, they get paid $250, we found out. $250, they paid by the Democrats and the Soros people and other people. And they stick there and then they go to jail and the rest of their life, they're screwed. It's horrible. It's so stupid. A lot of times I commute, I say, "Look, you know, they're young." They go home, their, their mother gives them a smack in the face that, "I voted, I voted for that guy.

What are you doing? What are you doing? I know they have a lot of trouble. They go home and they do get beaten up pretty bad. The mothers, they're watching. They go, "That's, that's my son." No, they're young and they're foolish. Over the past three weeks I've traveled all over the country, but I'm here today in Michigan for a very important reason.

I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator, and that's the fact. We're not gonna let that happen. And nine days from now, the people of Michigan are going to defeat Abdul Mohamed, say, Abdul Mohamed, I'll say it, a man who should never be allowed inside the halls of our great, beautiful Capitol building in Washington, D.C. We're going to elect, I call him Apple Pie.

He's, like, perfect, this guy. He's like central casting. He's what your state is all about. He really is. He's a fantastic man. He's gonna be one of the great United States senators, Mike Rogers. Thank you, Mike. This is a big turnout, Mike. You know, something's happening. They don't like to say it on the fake news.

They don't like to talk about it. That's a lot of fake news there. [Audience boos]

That's a lot. Now you have some good reporters, about, I'd say about 8.2%. And we're going to elect John James as your next governor. And we're also going to win a Republican House and a Republican Senate. And the fake news media hates it when I say that Abdul Mohamed, I'll say it, is a jihadist. They say, "You have no reason." Have you ever seen his writings of the past?

Go back a year and take a look at the things that he wrote, his mother wrote, his sister wrote. You go, take a look at the facts and don't be foolish, people. His mother worked for an organization that gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. [Audience boos]

His sister celebrated terrorist slaughter of the innocent men, women and babies on October 7th in Israel. October is one of the worst slaughters. Because of my position, I got to watch that on tape. And honestly, I wish I never saw it. Any Jewish person that support this guy should be ashamed of themselves.

I'll tell you right now. You should never speak to him again. You know, I'm polling at 99% in Israel and I cannot understand how anybody who's Jewish can even think about voting for this guy. And he'll get some, and he'll get some. You explain it to me. Someday somebody's gonna explain that to me. Sayed's father-in-law is the leader of a front group from the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization banned in eight Muslim countries because they are so sinister and severe that the Muslim countries don't want them.

This is the father-in-law. His sister-in-law was placed on the terror watchlist and only got off it because she had a good lawyer. You know, you do that. When somebody hires a lawyer and you're a government and you got enough problems, you take them off, which he shouldn't have been taken off. And Mohamed El-Sayed himself signed a letter supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, urging them to quote, "Purge the journalists and the police." In other words, let's get the journalist. That's bad.

Believe it or not, I'm saying it, that's bad even though they're such fakers. But, you know, he wants to defund your police. One thing you're gonna find, and the police are gonna see it, people get in and they change. They just do it for the, for this, what they're doing right now, the campaign. But once they get in, they always go back to their original thought always, you know?

He wants to take away your guns. He wants to do all the things that you're not gonna stand for. [Audience boos]

Mohamed also stated that he and many people were sad about the death of the world's top sponsor of terrorism, the supreme leader of Iran who killed many people. You know, they killed in the last nine months 75,000 protesters. People say, "I wonder why they're not protesting anymore." They killed 75,000. More than that, that's the, the known amount.

Anyone with that record of support for jihadists would be screened and unable to get a seat on an airplane. They certainly should not give him a seat in the United States Senate. He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector.

If Abdul gets to the Senate, he would have access to our nation's most closely guarded national security secrets, and his vote would wield power over our military, our borders, our homeland security and much more than that. And to think that so much of our military equipment is made in Michigan, he'll probably reject all those voters.

He'll say, "No, we don't want to make it in Michigan." But Michigan does not need a senator who's on the side of the terrorists and we need a senator who's really 100, 1,000% on the side of America. That's Mike Rogers. So Abdul, at one point, as you know, a little while ago, not so long ago, also wants our country to go to Shariah law. [Audience boos]

And if he ever pulls that one off, he should be the first one that's tried. That'd be interesting. I'll be a witness. Most disgraceful of all, Sayed campaigns with communist agitator Hasan Piker. You've heard all about this. [Audience boos]

Who says that America deserved 9/11 and Sayed refuses to under any cer- -- he just won't disavow this guy. Just watch.

[Begin video clip]

[Video clip] Abdul El-Sayed is my guy.

[Video clip] Had a bit of a fundraiser tonight and, uh, I think, uh, our good friend is going to be there.

[Video clip] Abdul, um, are there any views that Hasan holds that you have disavow, uh, with?

[Video clip] I'm not here to disavow people's views.

[Video clip] America deserved 9/11, dude. [Audible beep] I'm saying it.

[Video clip] There are a lot of things he says that I deeply agree with.

[Video clip] Bro, I hate this country, dude. I, I hate America so much, dude.

[Video clip] He was asked, uh, "Who's the greater danger to America, Israel or Iran?" Three times he was asked that. He refused to answer.

[Video clip] Who do you think is a bigger threat to the United States, Israel or Iran?

[Video clip] I'm just gonna say that that's a ridiculous hypothetical.

[Video clip] He criticized Mike Rogers for asking him to condemn Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaida, saying they're "scary words," but he hasn't condemned them.

[Video clip] El-Sayed's sister-in-law was placed on the terrorist watchlist during the Obama administration.

[Video clip] El-Sayed's birth mother reportedly worked for a designated terror group that provided financial support to Osama bin Laden, the Taliban and also Hamas. He's now raising questions based on the number of online posts from his half-sister.

[Video clip] "Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early '70s while she was in college, #Respect. Praying for all my family that supports the MB in Egypt." Can you just explain it?

[Video clip] Yeah, Tom. Uh, it's funny to me.

[Video clip] Are you, are you in favor of, uh, public ownership models, like the one Bernie introduced?

[Video clip] So, I want to actually take it a step further. I advocate for a government takeover of health insurance, because instead of having a whole bunch of payers, you have one payer. And that is the federal government.

[Video clip] It is gonna require taxes, and the question of who pays those taxes is an important question. [Inaudible] I made a commitment that we need to move Michigan to 100% renewable energy. We know that the future is not going to be fossil.

[Video clip] This guy is maybe the most anti-American candidate across the country today.

[End video clip]

And he's a nasty guy, right? Every time you see him, [Inaudible] He's worse than I am. I'm, like, a nice person. You know the thing I like best? I don't know if you noticed it, Mike. They had a little ticker on the side saying the stock market was up 602 points. Did you see it? That's just one of many days the market's at an all-time high.

Our nation has never done better than it's doing now. Twenty-five years ago, our nation was attacked by radical Islamic terrorists on September 11th, 2001. And on that day, a father of three named Todd Beamer, a great, this is a, a great man, born in Flint, Michigan, became an immortal American hero. Todd was on United Flight 93 when it was hijacked.

And with his famous final words, "Let's roll," Todd Beamer and his fellow passengers charged the cockpit and died, stopping the plane from being flown into the United States Capitol, which they think it was aimed right at the Capitol. Twenty-five years later, Michigan needs to stand up and fight just like Todd did to stop a jihadist from walking into the Capitol. [Audience chants "USA"]

So Todd Beaver, Todd Beamer gave his life for America and you have to give your vote for Todd Beamer. You can view it that way. We're not letting a jihadist, the people that did such damage that horrible day, the worst day, I guess, in our history. Worse than Pearl Harbor. It was worse than Pearl. Pearl Harbor at least was, if you think about it, that was an attack on our military.

This was an attack on civilian population. And we're deeply honored to be joined by Todd Beamer's father, David, and his mother, Peggy. And, David, if you could please come up, please.

Thank you. Thank you indeed. And thank you, Mr. President, my president, our president, for this opportunity. It's an opportunity for me to say to many of you perhaps who have said a prayer for the Beamer clan in the 25 years since that day, I want to say thank you. I also want to encourage you, if you're so inclined, you can say another prayer for me like right now.

This is an awesome opportunity and I want to make sure that everything I say and do furthers the cause for Michael Rogers and John James to be elected. That's what I want to do. It's taken, it's taken 250 years to build America, to give us what we've got, the best it's ever been. It can take a lot less effort and work to demolish it, to take it away.

Many of you weren't around on 9/11. Almost 100 million Americans weren't born yet. So I'm just going to ask you to re- -- remember a couple things that happened that day because they are relevant to what's going on right now. As the president said, Todd Beamer was a Michigan man, born in Flint, Michigan, November 24th, 1968. He got up that morning, left his little boys, 3 1/2, 1 1/2, and his wife, Lisa, five months pregnant, and he went to work.

He never came home. Todd and 39 other heroes on Flight 93 had the opportunity to fight back. They launched a counterattack and the enemy had planned to attack our commerce, our capitalistic system, our military, and yes, our Capitol. Three of their missiles hit their targets; the fourth missile didn't. All those people in and around the Capitol that day came home that night.

That part of the terrorist mission failed. Todd and others didn't come home, but they won the counterattack. What about now? What has changed? Well, one thing is 9/11 was a surprise attack. What's going on right now in our country and here in Michigan, it's not a surprise. We can see the attack coming. It culminates in this battleground state on Tuesday, November the 3rd. What's different, what's different this time is the enemy does not, has not come from abroad.

The enemy is right here among us. Local terrorists, local citizens that want to demolish our country. They call themselves Democratic Socialists of America. Do you know what the DS really stands for? Demolition Specialists. They wanna tear down this America that is ours, the best it's ever been. Have you looked and read their platform?

It reads like the terrorist platform of 9/11 on steroids. Capitalism, bad. The system that's produced more prosperity, opportunity, wealth, and happy lives than any in the history of the world, they wanna replace it with the tried-and-true failed system, socialism. You know, once upon a time, we had slavery in this country.

It was a terrible thing. We got rid of it. Socialism is a new system to make everyone slaves to the government regime. Can't have it. It's been noted, it's been noted that they want to defund the military. Let's just pretend our enemies don't exist. Let's stop spending. Everything looks, kind of just gonna be okay.

Yes, it's been mentioned. Abdul thinks taking the guns away from cops is a good idea. What could possibly go wrong? And you know, if he doesn't want a cop to have a gun, he doesn't want you and I to have the right to own one, that's for sure. When it comes to in, when it comes to incarceration, prisons, oh, we have too many.

What criminals need is not incarceration, they just need a warm hug and put back in our society. The Capitol? Their plan does not include bombing it from the air. Their plan is to infiltrate and demolish it from within. Our rule of law, our Constitution, the president mentioned it, Abdul would much prefer Shariah law.

How wonderful would that be? Cannot, cannot, must not happen. You know, the, the mantra, the mantra of their platform is really death to America. That's their mantra. But they disguise and camouflage it with having us look at some shiny symbol. Everything's gonna be free. Free healthcare, free education, free.

In their society, free, believe me, is a four-letter word. What do you have to pay for that free stuff? Freedom. Become a slave to the socialist regime. Can't, can't happen. Must not. We must not be distracted by their lies and deceit. We must identify them for who they really are. Demolition specialists.

We have a choice. We have a choice. Mike Rogers versus Abdul El-Sayed. These two men cannot be compared. They can only be contrasted. Mike Rogers, the Michigan man, a life of service, values and loves this country. Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul, Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America.

Well, you know what? A birth certificate doesn't make you an American. He demonstrates with his view of what our world should look like that he's not an American, he's anti-American. He is happy to be endorsed by our foreign enemies that hate us, like the Muslim Brotherhood. He's happy to take their endorsement and their money because his views align with theirs and theirs align with his.

He was, he has a birth certificate, but he's not an American. He had the choice. He had the choice to be an American or not. He has chosen otherwise. He has blood that's red. However, he has chosen to remove any strain of the white and blue part in his blood. We cannot. However, he has chosen to remove any strain of the white and blue part in his blood.

We cannot, cannot allow this man to invade and occupy our country, our country. So I ask you, I ask you, Michigan, whatever your allegiance, if you're a Republican, show up. The Senate term is six years. Hey, I'm four score and four. Six years seems like a lifetime to me at this point. We can't elect this guy.

Democrats, perhaps your whole life, you have followed the lead of your great-grandparents, your grandparents, your mom and dad, voting the Democratic ticket. This time, do a little crossover. America depends on it. Vote for John James and Mike Rogers. I, I don't know. I don't know if Abdul is straight or not, but I do know he's no Democrat.

If you're an independent and you wanna keep your independence, don't vote for socialism. If, if you're someone who's upset, a little distracted with the current cost of gasoline, remember this. In a social society, gasoline won't matter to you. You'll be driving a government-issued green piece of transportation.

It'll just have pedals on it. No problem at the gas pump, okay? So all you Americans in Michigan vote American. We want to show this guy and the demolition strategist movement the door. We want them to be suffered in this defeat and decide, yep, Michigan was a battleground and we can't win. There are just too many Americans in Michigan.

We want them to, we want them to sing that old song. You know, that old song goes, "Start spreading the news. We're leaving today." Let them take their energy and their money, go buy an island someplace and try that socialism thing again somewhere else. And you know, they might, they might even take Comrade AOC with them.

They might take the comrades of the Squad with them. They might even invite the patriarch, Uncle Bernie, the socialist, to go along with them. That, that would be a win, win, win now, wouldn't it? All you, all you Americans in Michigan, we have, we have an opportunity, we have an opportunity to show up and we're gonna do that.

And I think at this time, it's, it's okay. It's appropriate. It's all right for Todd's old man and all of you to say what he said, to quote him. Are you guys ready? On three, one, two, three. "Let's roll." [Audience chants "USA"]

Thank you so much and Peggy, thank you. That's from the heart. That's from the heart. And your boy is looking down very proud of you both right now. Thank you. So this great state was built by generations of American patriots who shed their blood, sweat and tears and even gave their lives to defend American freedom.

Abdul Sayed's entire agenda is to burn that legacy down and he wants to do that. He's the face of modern Democrat Party. It's the craziest thing I've ever heard. But Americans did not spend all these years fighting communists and terrorists in order to look and just watch it all burn down and come down to the ground.

And we're not gonna surrender America to communists, jihadists. We're not gonna do it here. [Inaudible] We're not gonna do it in this state that's been so great. Abdulrahman has called to defund the police, abolish the police, abolish ICE, abolish Border Patrol, our great Border Patrol. We had zero people come into our country over the last 18 months.

Criminals, [Inaudible] He supported a ban on all gas-powered automobiles, which, by the way, I did it the reverse. I took, I took the mandate away. Remember all electric. Your industry would have left. Thank you. I just thought of that one. I actually, I took, I got rid of the mandate, the electric vehicle mandate by 2030. Everybody was gonna have an electric car.

And you know, your workforce would've been cut in half if that were the case. But you didn't have to worry because people weren't buying them. If Abdul and the Democrats win, they will open the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadists to our shores, creating a nightmare of violence and terror until you cannot even have a Christmas or, remember when I started the war on preserving Christmas?

When I was 2- -- 2016, we will proudly say Christmas again. We're saying it again. Remember that? Remember the stores were afraid to put up Christmas trees. They didn't want them to use red or green. Oh, these people are crazy. But we ended that one pretty quickly. That was sort of easy. Now they're all saying "Merry Christmas" again, aren't they?

And we'll have a Merry Christmas if you get out and vote. All you have to do is get out and vote because we have the numbers. So, you know, this is my 26th rally in about 12 days. [Inaudible] No, it was great. It's an honor. There's never been anything like, you know what? We've done something. In all fairness, I say a little at the end, but I won't have to bother saying it now, say it now.

There's never been anything like this in the history of politics anywhere, not only. Make America Great Again. It's very simple. Very early, very simple. Make America, there's never been anything like it. There's never been rallies like this. There's never been, I remember, and I said it yesterday, that Bernie Sanders got a little hot against Crooked Hillary.

I think he might have won actually, but they took it away, but, and he draw, drew crowds of 900 people, 850, sometimes 1,000. And they were, you know, depressed. They were going crazy, the crowds. So I had an event where I had 49,000 people at the event. He had a thousand people right nearby, and the next day, "Bernie Sanders Draws Massive Crowd." They don't mention me. They don't mention me, Mike.

How the hell did I ever win three times? You know? How did I do it? It's crazy. It's crazy. But there has never been anything that we've done. Not me, it's we together. This is, this is the greatest group of people. You're the people that built this country. You're the people that built this country and we're not gonna let them tear it down.

So I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot. So what happens, it's very easy. When I'm not on the ballot, when I'm not on, we get 49% less vote. Okay? It's a compliment, but I don't want that compliment if you don't mind. Give me a non-compliment. Uh, when I'm on the ballot, we win everything. When I'm not on the ballot, that's the midterms.

When I'm not on the ballot, people don't show up. Please show up and vote because essentially we are all on the ballot because they'll take away everything. They'll take away all of those tax cuts, all of that crime prevention. You know, we have the safest country that we've ever had in history. So dating back to 1900, think of it. But, so I just hope, you know, it's not a presidential election, but it is a presidential election because everything that we've done, all of those, I call it the Great Big, Beautiful Tax Cut Bill, but all of that, all of those tax cuts, even for your, for the farmers and small businesses where we got rid of the inheritance tax, we got rid of what we call the death tax, where you wanna leave your business, you wanna leave your farm to your children.

And under, and they wanna end this, Mike. They wanna end it. We have no, you have no tax to pay. You have no inheritance tax. So what was happening is, especially on the farms, it's land rich, got value, but it doesn't throw up huge cash, so they get, they value it. The government values it. Your kids go to the once friendly banker, turns out not to be so friendly after they loan the money.

They end up losing the farm and they commit suicide. It was a, it's a, it was a big problem. No longer, we got rid of it. So now you leave your farm, you leave your small business to your children. You have no estate tax or death tax to pay and they can live their life. But Abdul, because that's, you know, because he's following the line, I don't know what his basic views are, but he's, he's gonna end that.

He's gonna end no tax on tips. He's gonna end no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. He's gonna end no tax on overtime. Why? I don't know. Our country's rocking and rolling now. You gotta leave it. They will destroy our country. But it was just revealed that Ilhan Omar's name is not Ilhan Omar.

The one that she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather it's an entirely different name, name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. Lovely name. It's a beautiful name. Said Elmi. And the last name incredibly also is the exact name of her lovely brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the person that she said she married and had beautiful ch- -- children with.

I think, how many children did she have? Three? She had beautiful children. And when asked whether or not she married her brother, she said, "Not to my knowledge." That's not a good answer. You know what that is? That's a legal answer. The lawyer said answer it that way. If they ask you that question, say, "To the best of my knowledge," and then give any answer you want.

When she says that, that was the end of that. Pretty crazy. Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I am assuming that we must immediately re- -- she has to resign from Congress. Trouble. She's just a troublemaker. She's a little troublemaker. You know, she comes from Somalia, probably maybe the worst country in the world, has no government, has no anything.

All they have is killing people. They kill people. They go after ships, they ransom ships, but they have, I'm amazed they can even do that, to be honest with you. But they have no country, they have no government, they have no anything. They have no police. They just run around shooting each other. Then she comes to this country and she says, "Oh, I have constitutional rights, and I don't like the way you run the United States of America.

How dare you run it? What a -- I'll tell you, does it, does it piss me off. And she and her other friends and her other friends, I always say AOC plus three, but somehow I don't mind AOC that much. I don't know why. She doesn't bug me too much. But they call them AOC plus three. The, the plus three love being called plus three, you know?

But they're just bad. Something wrong with them. Well, what's wrong with them is they wanna overthrow our country. Take a look at France. Look at what's going, that's all about immigration. That's not about, "Oh, the school wasn't clean today." They said, "We didn't like the cleanliness." I didn't see any students there.

These were a lot of large men with very big muscles. And, uh, I hope France gets a lot tougher than they've been. You know, I told President Macron when I first met him 10 years ago, I said, "You're gonna lose your country. You're destroying your country with immigration. You're destroying your country. You're not gonna have a country." And I would tell him that every time I met him for 10 years, he probably can't stand me. I say, "Emmanuel, how are you?

By the way, you're destroying your country. How would you like that, Dr. Oz? Every time the great Dr. Oz, by the way, doing a great job. No, every time I meet, I do this with a lot of leaders. Oh, and you know, we did get Greenland. You do know that. Remember when we were, how dare he ask for that? How dare he ask for it? No, we signed the agreement about two weeks ago.

Very little coverage in the press. When they thought I was being a very difficult president, they were going after me. How dare he treat Europe? How dare he treat Denmark that way? And Denmark was great. We own Greenland. We work it with Denmark. We signed a very good agreement with great lawyers, infinite period of time, no limits, no nothing.

I didn't read any stories about it. It was a massive story. What a horrible human being. I'm gonna go to war with Europe. I'm gonna go to war with Denmark. Oh, boy, oh boy, these people are bad. But we signed and I said to our great first lady who says hello, I said, "First lady, this is gonna be a big story."

We just signed for the essential pur- -- I mean, we, we purchased. We have every right you could possibly have, and it's great. We work with Denmark, good country, good nice country. Anybody that would like to come into our country from Denmark, I'm all for it. But, uh, I must tell you from Somalia, I'm sort of, I've had it with them.

I've had it with them. I much prefer Denmark, I must say. They'll say, "Isn't that a terrible thing?" No, it's just, we gotta be honest with each other, don't we? Denmark, we'll take them. Sweden, Norway, I don't think so because I didn't get the Nobel Prize even though I ended it. So I don't want anybody from Norway.

I don't want anything to do with Norway. Think of it. I settled eight wars and I got two more coming. And what did I do? I mean, I stopped the nuclear threat of Iran, would've been terrible. And I was supposed to get it last year, but it was a little early because I just got into office. And the person who got it, Maria, was very nice.

She said, "I can't believe I got it. This should go to President Trump." And she gave me her Nobel Peace Prize. That was so nice. It was very nice. I won't forget that. It was very nice. And, and look, I'm not saying that she was right, but I'm not saying. I settled eight wars. No other president settled a war.

You know, Obama got the Nobel Prize about two weeks after he got into office, and he had no idea why he got it. And he, and you know what? He still has no idea. I settled eight wars and two more coming, and they were wars. I will tell you, Putin called me on one, Azerbaijan. That war was raging for 34 years.

He said, "I cannot believe I've been trying to settle that thing for 10 years." He said, "I can't believe you got it done." Anyway, so when it came due a couple of weeks ago, they announced that they'll be announcing. And a couple of weeks ago, I said to a great first lady, "First lady, I get the Nobel Prize in two weeks." And, uh, it'll be an honor.

You know, I feel much better about saving all those lives. How about India and Pakistan? I stopped them from fighting. They shot down 11 planes. They're both nuclear countries. The prime minister of Pakistan said, "President Trump has saved at least 30 million lives." So I said, "First lady, first lady, it'll be a great honor to get the Nobel Peace Prize next week when they announce it." And then I sort of forgot about it because I am busy.

And it was announced that it was gotten by a woman that nobody ever heard of. I said, "What about me? Do they do two of them?" Think of it, I settled, so I'm not in love with Norway. Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually. Look, Oz is going, I can't believe. No, I just speak the truth, Oz. No, it's, uh, it's crazy what's going on out there.

It's called the world of politics. The world of politics. But we, uh, we're straightening out this country at levels that nobody ever thought possible when you think what they're having in Europe. And it's not only France now, it's Italy, it's so many different countries over there. It's really a mess. And it's all because they allowed people that hate them into their countries.

They don't like their buildings. They don't like their art. They don't like their people. They don't like their laws. And that's what you're seeing on the streets right now. And we're not letting that happen here and we're not gonna let this guy become a senator of the United States of America. And less than two years ago, the radical left Democrats handed us a dark age.

It was a dark age. We were laughed at. All over the world, we were laughed at as being a foolish, a word my wife hates me to use. She thinks it's not presidential. She's a very elegant woman. She hates when I dance. She hates when I do weightlifting showing that a woman can't quite, quite lift the same number of pounds as a man.

You know, the man lifted approximately 111 pounds more than the woman. This was, Dr. Oz, this was a weightlifter, a failed man weightlifter who was a failure as a man, but then he transitioned very beautifully to womanhood. And he became a weightlifter and he won the contest by 111 pounds, a record that should stand for quite a while.

It was, it was 19 years standing and then would add an eighth of an ounce and an eighth of an ounce, stood for 19. He comes along being bing, boom, boom, boom. [Laughs] He said, "Is that all?" How crazy is this, men in women's sports now? She hates when I tell the swimming story about the great Olympic swimmer.

And she grew up with the same girls who are all the top of the pyramid. And she looks left and she sees all the girls she's competed with for years and she looks, looks right and she sees all the girls, but next to her is this giant, this absolute, she's looking, "Ooh-hoo, who is that? I've never s- -- I've never seen her before." She wants to be politically correct, you have to understand or they'll throw her off and fire her.

And she looked up and this giant is there. Well, she didn't know what to expect and they started swimming. And as you know, she was badly injured. You know why? Windburn. She suffered tremendous windburn. He went by her so fast that it caused massive windburn to her skin and we had to call Bobby Kennedy Jr. to help her out, right?

So crazy. And their stupidity is the same exact way when financial matters, you know, the financial, they'll destroy our country. But we had a dark age and now we have the golden age of America. This is the richest, the best, and tariffs. Tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs. Now it's my fifth favorite. You've heard that before, because I was just decimated by the press.

They said, "Tariffs is my favorite word in the dictionary, tariffs." And the press the next day just decimated me because they said, "What about God? What about wife, family, relationship? What about all these other words that are so beautiful?" So now I made tariff my fifth favorite word and I'm [Inaudible]. You know, they have another new one, and I knew this was gonna happen.

What did I do? Up in a certain area, not so far from here. You ever hear of the great state of Ohio? [Audience boos]

They have a man running named Jon Husted. And he was a humble guy, a handsome sort of a guy, but a humble guy. And he never said what a great athlete he was. You got, you know, they got me and this one too was. And I thought he was, he was a lieutenant governor, very good lieutenant governor, but sort of quiet.

He's humble. And we were doing a speech and he was quite a bit behind because he was lieutenant governor, but nobody knew that much about him. He was actually very good, but he doesn't talk. He's not a talker, he's a doer, right? So I'm with Jon Gruden, the great football coach, and he was a very good quarterback in college.

They won the national championship. And I said, "Jon, why are you here?" He said, "I'm here for my teammate." "Who's your teammate?" "Jon Husted." I said, "He played football?" "Yeah, he was an All-American." "He was?" "He was an All-American. We had a great team. We won the championship and he was the best player in the team." And he said a couple of things that really hit me. He said, "He was violent.

He was, he would rip the head off people when he tackled them. He would, he was violent. I said, "Wait a minute. Are we talking about the same person? Jon Husted, he's the nicest man." "Well, he's the most competitive. He was the best player, the fastest player, the hardest tackler. He was unbelievable.

And he had a record. Seventeen interceptions, think of that. He was a safety, defensive back, 17 interceptions, an NCAA record. I said, "You gotta be kidding." So I went up to the rally like this in Ohio, and he was quite a bit behind, a real stiff. He was behind a guy that got fired once before, Bernie Moreno beat him and now he's running round and just like his name, boring, didn't do anything, didn't do anything.

He was a lousy senator. But Jon Husted was behind and I told the story. I said, "I didn't know anything about him. I mean, I always knew him as a humble guy." And then I made my mistake. I invited Jon up to say a few words and he was great. But while he was talking -- [Inaudible] -- and I had just found out that he's a great athlete, a brutal tackler.

You know, some guys, I play little tiny football. I didn't like it too much. I liked to watch it. I didn't love being tackled by large people. And I didn't like it. But I'm, I'm looking at him up and down and I'm studying him. And then I made the mistake. I told, in fun, I said, I looked at his ass and I've never done that with a man before, it's true.

Off the record, women, yes, men, no, okay? By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj. That, that's hard to miss. That's stand out, Nicki. That's hard to miss. Okay. I'm gonna get back to my story, Nicki. I hope Nicki wasn't insulted, but we love Nicki. She's been with us for a long time.

But anyway, so wait. So this is to show you how fake the news is. So I revealed the story to 30,000 people and it's in Ohio. And I said, "You know, he was a football player." And a few people said, "Yeah, he was an All-American." A few people knew, the football, big football fans. But while he's speaking, you know, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.

My name's Jon Husted, and I'm examining his body. And I said, "His ass was like a big piece of muscle. His feet were massive. His hands, his fingers looked like sausages. My hands aren't bad, but his fingers look like sausages." And then I looked at his neck and I saw the neck and I saw the strength and then I patted him on the shoulder and I hurt my hand because it was like hitting a piece of steak. [Laughter] I said, "This guy is much different." And I explained that, I said, when I said I looked at his ass and I said, "The press went crazy the next day." They said, "What's with Trump?

All he wants to do is talk about a man's ass. There's something different about -- They didn't explain the whole football deal. That's why with the fake news, you cannot do that stuff. You have to go right down the middle. I had another case, I explained it yesterday, sometimes mimic Sleepy Joe Biden when he speaks.

First of all, he speaks for extremely short periods of time, like minutes. Nobody comes, so it doesn't matter. But he had a tendency of not being able to find his way off a stage, right? Just couldn't do it, no matter what he did. And you know, it's government. I guess the government, I don't know who the hell pays, but we always have like a lot of stairs.

Let's see one, two, three, four, five. You don't need five stairs. And then you could always jump off the front. It's not that hard. So Joe Biden would speak. Did you ever see it? Then he'd point. Like, he's looking for the stairs. And if there were walls, we don't have walls, but if there were walls, he'd like walk into a wall, start pulling at the wall.

And he has stairs all over the place. So one day, just to show you about the fake news. So one day I made the terrible mistake of imitating him leaving a stage. Okay? And I said, "Thank you, thank you." And then I start walking around the stage and hitting walls and everything. [Laughter] And then I say goodbye to everybody and dance off the stage.

And I called my wife, very elegant woman. You know, her movie is like, is one of the top movies, or they may be the top. "Melania." Right? You know who went to see it? Women. Women went to see it five times. No, it's a very elegant person, very elegant, amazing actually. Very smart. Wants to help people. Wants to help people, wants to help foster home and so much.

She's just so good. But I called her up, I said, "Baby, how -- " 'Cause it's on television. These things are always on. They hate to put them on, but one thing about that business, I know it well from "The Apprentice." If you get ratings, you could do it. As much as they hate you, they're gonna put you on. So they put them all over television.

So I call her, I said, "Baby, how great was I tonight? Was that the greatest?" I'm the opposite of Jon Husted, right? He wouldn't talk about it. I said, "Honey, was I great tonight or what?" And she said, "You're okay, but listen, what was, you couldn't find your way off the stage. [Laughter] What was going on? They made a big deal out of it you couldn't find.

Didn't they have stairs or anything? I said, "You gotta be kidding. I knew that was gonna happen." [Laughter] So it hap- -- it happened yesterday and, uh, I've been living with this whole thing about the ass. [Laughter] And believe me, it's of no interest to me [Laughs] other than to say Jon Husted is one hell of an athlete, okay?

And you know what he did? He picked up like 12 points. I think he's leading in the race now. Do you know that? He's leading. He was losing by 14. Now he's leading. So I'm willing to sacrifice. I'd say that about your ass too, Mike, if it gets you a guaranteed victory. [Laughter] If it guaranteed victory, I'll do anything because we gotta get you in. We gotta get you in. We achieved the most.

Thank you. You don't mind when I go off teleprompter like that, do you? [Audience responds "No"]

You know, if I had to read a teleprompter for, actually it goes fairly quickly if you just do that, you would say, "That's presidential. Ladies and gentlemen, I am your president. I enjoy very much being with you. This is a very nice state." Remember Joe didn't know what your state was. He'd say, "It's great being in Maine." And he was in Florida with palm trees. [Laughter] That was the beginning.

That's when we knew there were problems. That's when, when he did the Maine deal, the Maine-Florida switch, where we achieved the most secure border in American history and in the past 17 months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States. Record numbers of illegal alien criminals have been taken off the streets.

Record numbers. We have moves. It's the hardest thing that I was left. You know, we got inflation down. You know, for the last three months, it's 1.7%. Now it's my time. It's 1.7%. We inherited the worst inflation in history. But we've achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded with a murder rate at the lowest level in 125 years since the year 1900. And that's despite having murderers allowed to come into our country.

They had murderers. How about this guy in North Carolina, the governor? He allowed 88 murderers out of prison because of COVID. He didn't want them to catch COVID. His name is Roy Cooper, and he's running against one of the best guys you'll ever meet. It's a tough race. He's been the governor for eight years.

Everyone likes to think he's a moderate. He's not. He's a radical lunatic. He allowed 88 murderers out of prison. And out of the 88 murderers, 25 of them immediately committed murder. Now, Willie Horton in Massachusetts, that was Dukakis, Willie Horton in Massachusetts, that happened. Dukakis went from a 10-point lead running for the presidency to getting smashed in the election.

He went down like 18, 19 points immediately. Here's a guy let out 88 murderers, and one of them was the murderer of that beautiful young girl sitting in a train who had her throat slashed from behind, DeCarlos Brown Jr. DeCarlos Brown Jr. is his name. The Junior, they have to always add the Junior. It's, uh, horrible.

He let him out. But 25 of the people, including DeCarlos Brown, killed somebody after they got out because he let him out because he didn't want them to catch COVID. And these aren't the kind of guys that catch COVID, young, mostly very young people. And, uh, and it doesn't seem to affect him too much in the polls.

He was a terrible governor. He was terrible with the, you know, he was terrible as a governor. We had a hurricane. He was the worst governor in the whole country. But it's just one of those things. But I hope Michael Whatley wins. But think of it. A guy allows 88 people out, they commit 25 murders almost immediately, and he's gonna be run- -- and he's maybe gonna be a senator.

I don't get it at all. In mu- -- by the way, if it were reversed, if it was a Republican you're talking about, that would be the biggest story in the country. You know that, Mike. That'd be the biggest story in the country. In much less than two years, we secured commitments for $22.2 trillion of new investment into the United States of America.

The greatest amount of money ever invested in our country by five times. It's the single greatest investment into a country in history, and that includes China and all the rest of them. And thanks to my tariffs, we have more factories and plants being built in the United States right now than at any time in the history.

And you see it all over your state. And because of me, the auto industry is doing better than it's ever done before with plants and factories being built at a record clip and also being expanded all over the country, but especially in Michigan. You know, you have, uh, an old, I think it's a 1901 building, Ford, and, uh, I saw them, they were gonna close it. It's one of the biggest plants in the world.

It was one of the earliest too. And they were doing no business, not much. And they were getting ready to close it. And then it looked like I was gonna win and Bill Ford and that group said, "Well, let's keep it. Let's see what happens with Trump, but we gotta get this thing closed. It's a big drag." And I think it's the biggest plant or one of them in the country.

And, uh, so we waited a little while. And four months ago, they announced that they're doing more business, more hours. They're working 24/7. They have three shifts, seven days a week. There's never been anything like it, he said, "I've never seen anything like it." That's in Detroit, by the way. Stellantis is building a new $400 million factory here in your state, Ford is pouring $3 billion into central Michigan, and GM is investing billions and billions of dollars to bring production right back here to Detroit.

Never happened before. You know, there was a time a little few years back, because we did pretty well in the first term too, but this one is just blowing every, you know, I had the greatest economy in the history of our country in my first term. This term is blowing, it's gonna blow it away. You're gonna take, short term, you're taking a hit.

It's not a big hit. I thought gasoline would go up much more. We had to make sure that the state, number one, if you look, number one, in all of the countries in the world, the nastiest, the meanest, the number one state sponsor of terror is Iran by far, and you had to make sure they didn't have a nuclear weapon.

I said, "Prices are gonna go up." I thought, honestly, I thought they were gonna go up much more, much more. We're taking more oil out of the Hormuz Strait now than we did before. And I tell the story all the time about $1.85, $1.85 just before I made that decision, and I have no second guess. Everybody said, "If you had it to do again?" I said, "Are you kidding?

I thought gas would be double and triple. And it's a small price to pay for taking a nuclear weapon away from maniacs. So we had, we had a great successful first administration. Remember, we did Space Force, which was so big. You know, we were being dominated in space and now we're dominating China and Russia.

We had great people put in. Space Force is a big deal. We rebuilt our military. A lot of it was given away. Not so much to Iran at all, going after Iran. It was given away where Biden gave away $350 billion and he could've gotten the money. I s- -- I came in and I said to Europe, "You gotta pay us for it." And they paid us. It was, like, a sentence that lasted, I said this, "Listen, we've given you $350 billion.

What the hell do we get out of it? You gotta pay us. They said, "We will." I said, "Boy, that was fast." Biden could've said the same thing. But it depends on who says it, I guess too, right? Last night in Macon, Georgia, the chairman of Audi, big, beautiful car company, stood up and announced that next month they start construction on a $40 billion plant that will produce 200,000 cars a year right nearby.

Oh, these are just small, these are just, but it was great last night. 200,000 cars a year. Uh, they came out of, they're closing up in Mexico. They're closing up in Canada. They're building here and other places. Because just so you understand, Canada has been ripping off the United States for years, okay?

For years. And I had to do it. We'll have that settled pretty soon. They're willing to give us anything at this moment. And Peterbilt in Texas just announced a big expansion. They make those massive, incredible trucks, beautiful trucks. They're expanding over 200 trucks. Can you believe it? They built 200. I said, "How many trucks are you building?" And I thought they'd say, like, 400. He said, "About 200." I said, "Wow, that's a lot. 200 a day." They built 200. Can you believe that? 200 trucks a day.

How the hell do you do that? We have, oh, look at, get over here, you union guy. Get over here. Get over here. This, I love this guy. I love this guy. This guy, he's clean. Don't worry about him. If he's not clean, that's my problem. He's been with me from the beginning. I love this guy. He's strictly union, he's strictly car, and he got it much more right than --

Make some noise. Come on.

-- the head of that union.

Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, take a breather, rest your vocal cords. You've been working extremely hard for the last, how many days? [Laughs] You, it's unbelievable. Now listen, this guy is working so hard for us. Now we gotta do something for him. Now, I voted yesterday in Michigan, and we're all standing in Michigan.

Early in-person voting started yesterday. If you didn't vote yesterday, you need to get out and vote tomorrow. You go to your, your municipality, your township, your city, your, yo- -- wherever your t- -- clerk is at, and you can vote in person. And here's the good news: when you vote on Election Day, you go to the school, you go to the firehouse, they take your ballots to the municipality.

So you're actually delivering it. It doesn't have to be transported. You're going where they end up. And it's just like voting on Election Day. You know, you show your ID, you fill out the card, you give it to them, they give you a ballot, you sit down, you fill it out, and you feed it into the thing, and it's counted.

You know it's counted. You don't have to worry about it. So I know everybody in this room is voting for Mike Rogers. You're voting for John James and Jay DeBoyer right over here. Two of the greatest men to ever run for office in the state of Michigan. You're voting for Anthony Forlini, my county clerk, who makes sure there's no fraud going on on Election Day.

And you're voting for Doug Lloyd, a guy who prosecutes criminals. He doesn't protect them. Right? And it's an honor. I'm sitting over here with these guys and it's an honor to be associated with them. What a great ticket we have. Up and down the ticket, every single office, our candidates are 10 times better than the whack jobs they're running on the Democrat side.

Now, I'm only gonna say one thing about Abdul Rahman Muhammad El-Sayed because everybody else has been telling you about him and you guys know about him. But as an auto worker, I'm a retiree now and I've got Blue Cross healthcare. It's the best in the country. Nobody has better healthcare. They call it the Cadillac plan.

We spent the last five decades negotiating for it. You know what Sayed wants to do with it? Scrap it, ban it, make it illegal. Everybody's gotta go on Medicare, government-run healthcare, like Canada. [Audience boos]

Now we're, we're just a couple of miles. You look out, you s- -- step outside and look across the river, you see Canada. They come over here to get emergency procedures done because government-run healthcare sucks. Right? We all know this. So everybody in this building is voting for the gentleman I just mentioned because they're great candidates.

But our job when we leave here, and we're the soldiers, this guy's the general, we're the soldiers. So to keep his agenda moving forward, when we leave here, not only do we all have to make sure that we've voted by tomorrow, we've got to go through our phone list, you text your family members, your neighbors, your friends, your coworkers, and you work your way through that phone contact list until you've texted every single person in there and reminded them that Michigan has early in-person voting that started yesterday on the 24th, and they need to get their butts out and vote.

I don't care if they're paying a buck and a half more a gallon for gasoline, that is no excuse to vote for a socialist Islamist for the U.S. Senate. And when you don't vote, you might as well be voting for a Democrat because you're taking a vote away from these excellent candidates sitting right over here.

So when we walk out of here, everybody needs to know you got a job to do. You're all warriors, you're all patriots, and you wouldn't be here. So get out and get, go through your phone list, talk to everybody. If you're going to work tomorrow, talk about politics, talk about the future of our country. 250 years ago, people signed the Declaration of Independence.

You know what that was? It was a death sentence. If we didn't win that war, they were gonna hang. We owe it to them to fight for what they fought for back then and preserve it for another 250 years. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for everything you've done. [Audience chants "USA"]

Wow. What a guy he is. Well, now I can get rid of a couple of paragraphs of this. We don't have to talk about healthcare anymore. He's right. He's right. Other countries, they come here to have themselves fixed up. It's really great. What a great job. Thank you very much. And he's an auto worker. I met him years ago during the first run.

It's been a long time. The arms look just as good. I don't know what the hell he does. I guess he lifts up parts. [Laughs] What the hell you do? I wanna have those arms. But, uh, what a great friend he's been and right from the beginning too. He got it. He got it. He got it. And he went right through his union and we won the auto workers and we did great.

We didn't have any support at the top because they were radicalized Democrats, but it didn't matter. We got the votes at numbers that nobody would believe, the Teamsters also and right to workers also. We got everything. But you were so great. Thank you very much. It's beautiful. Special man. So the stock market, just to go on to something that I love, the stock market hit 88 all-time record highs since the election, much less than two years ago. Eighty-eight all-time highs.

And before you go out and vote for these guys, you have to pick up your 401(k)s and check them out because they're 60 and 70% higher than what they were when we just came in through Election Day. Think, take a look at, take a look at your 401(k)s and then go and vote because Obama, you lost 25% on your 401(k)s. With me, you've gone up almost 70%. So before you go to vote for John and Mike and all the rest of them, and we have great congressional people here, by the way, income for hardworking Americans has soared to the highest level ever recorded.

So I do this thing and it causes a tremendous amount of problems for Secret Service because these next points are so crazy that I don't have to go on anymore. I can save my voice, but I won't do that. Maybe I will, actually. So think of it. Number one, income for Americans is at the highest point ever. More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country.

So more Americans working equally. The poverty rate has just reached the best ever in the history of our country. That's a rough one, poverty. But this poverty, we have the greatest, strongest we've ever done. We've never done anywhere close on poverty. African American poverty, Asian American poverty, Hispanic American poverty, Native American poverty are at the best and lowest levels ever recorded.

Exports to our country. Think of this. Export. We export outside of our, we build it. Remember Barack Hussein Obama said we're not a manufacturing country. Exports have soared to the highest level in American history. So, so now what I usually do, if I don't like a crowd, but I always do, we have people, these are the greatest people in the world.

We call it the base, the base. The base is gigantic. And you're gonna see something. We put one little poll up at the end that's so crazy that the base is gigantic. So usually, so we just said, "In comes the highest." We have the highest level of employment. We have the best poverty numbers we've ever had and we have broken the all-time record on exporting.

Meaning manufacturing things in Michigan and exporting, right? Usually what I do is, I say, "Therefore, I don't have to go on any longer. Goodbye, everybody," and I walk out. I've done that a few times and Secret Service goes crazy. You see all these guys running around? It's, "He's leaving. He's leaving.

He's way early. Now, but those are great numbers. With our Republican Congress, I signed a Great, Big Beautiful Bill, delivering the largest tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our seniors. Especially for you, because you make so many cars and, you know, not only the new plants.

All the plants that you have are expanding like I told you about the big 1901 plant with Ford. But they're all expanding, General Motors. We made interest on car loans tax deductible, but only if the car is made in America. Okay? Only. Look at these Front Row Joes. These Front Row Joes, they're up to 811 events.

You know, I've made a lot of them. I've done this 26 times. You think it's easy doing these little suckers? When God made vocal cords, he did not make them for 25 or 26 of these in a period of 10 days, but we have to win. We have to win, right, Mike? We have to win. We got to win. God did make the vocal cords.

We made the largest ever investment in the U.S. armed forces, over $1 trillion. Right here in Michigan, I got 21 new F-15EX Eagle IIs for Selfridge Air National Guard Base. That goes with all the other planes we have there. The "dumbocrats" were closing Selfridge down, but I saved thousands of jobs and really, the prestige, the great prestige that comes along with having such a place, and only I could have done that.

It was requested by a few people, both Democrat, as you know, and Republican, and I did it. I saved Selfridge. That's a big deal, too. They wanted to, "Oh, it's closed." I mean, I saved it. It was actually effectively closed. The Democrats shut it down and I opened it. We captured and brought to justice the outlaw dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, who is now awaiting trial.

He's one of the ones that sent, that opened up his prisons and he sent his prisoners in. And we won the war in Venezuela in one day and we are now working with them to produce, and we're getting millions and millions of barrels of oil every single week from Venezuela. Remember when Russia and China were all over.

Everyone was so worried. It's nearby, relatively. They said, "Oh, China's there. Russia's there." No, no. We're there. We're the only one there. I terminated Barack Hussein Obama's JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal, which was a road to Iran having a nuclear weapon. It was the worst agreement and the most dangerous agreement I've ever seen.

We obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury. We defeated them militarily, financially and otherwise. And now we are ensuring that Iran will never have, ever have, ever, ever, ever a nuclear weapon. You'll see that ending quite soon, one way or the other.

I got along with Bobby Kennedy and Oz and all the rest of the great people. We did something that was not basically doable. Most other presidents never even tried. They wouldn't have had a shot. I got most-favored-nation agreements to reduce the cost of many prescription drugs. All prescription drugs. From the highest drug prices anywhere in the world to the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world.

They're down from 50% to 90% and that makes a tremendous difference. It will. You'll start to see. That's why we have to win, because I don't want them to get credit for it. You know, so many things I did and we did and they statutorily, they kick it later. I said, "Boy, oh, boy. I'd hate to have this stuff kick in with somebody else where they take credit," but they tried to do that.

But ultimately, the people know and that's why we're here. That's why we won the White House and that's why we won it every single swing state, the popular vote, the 87% of the counties, a massive Electoral College win. Think of it. All seven swing states. Remember, they said, "Well, Trump needs two of the swing states to win." I got all seven.

We got, we got all seven. We got. We abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion policies. All of this, if they win, will be, all this junk, open borders, men in women's sports, transgender for everybody, it's all gonna be put right back in as soon as they win. They win, you got it right back.

So it's you, you will only have yourselves to blame. And I don't think there's any coming back from that either. I think if they, if they did that, I don't think there'd be any coming back. We did a great job to win. We did an amazing job together to win. It wasn't easy. We had a fake press. We had a fake press, a disgraceful press.

We had those open borders that people were pouring in by -- 25 million people came in and, uh, many of them were very bad, very bad, bad criminals. We got critical race theory and transgender insanity the hell out of our schools. We did it quickly. And we made English the official language of the United States of America.

Thank you. And our country is doing so well under Republican leadership that only I can make you this promise. The Democrats can't do it because this country will go to hell. If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States $5,000. You deserve it. And only Republicans can do it. Democrats can't. Because we're taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs and record-setting economic success like you've just heard.

And that's peanuts. I could name, I could name factories all day long and plants that are being built. Pharmaceutical plants, Eli Lilly, Merck, Pfizer, pharmaceutical plants are going up. Hundreds of billions of dollars because we learned during COVID we don't make any medicine. I said, "Nope, we gotta do that." They, they're pouring into our country because of tariffs.

I say, "You don't build here, that's okay, but you're gonna pay 100% tariff." So they build. I said, "In two years, if you're not built, you pay 100%." So they build and they're building like never before. But the Democrat policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, the opposite. The Democrats are saying, "Oh, oh, I don't think you'll be able to do that.

I won't do it. Well, I did it before. If the Democrats win, you will have a 1929-style economic depression because just like all of their other policies are so insane, their financial policies are worse. If the Republicans win, you'll each have $5,000 in your pocket, an economic success for our country like we have never seen before.

And remember, just recently I gave all members of the military $1,776 and everyone said, "Oh, that can't be done." They got the money. Done. These handsome generals, they presented me with $1,775. I say, "Can we scrounge up one more dollar? We'll have $1,776." That was not bad. [Laughs] That was not bad. The $5,000 Trump dividend is approximately $1 trillion.

Think of it. So the money that's being invested is 22.5 trillion. The dividend costs one. We have more growth than any country has maybe ever had. We are doing better than any country has ever had. We'll be able to do that. The only caveat is the Trump dividend, the $5,000 that you'll be getting very shortly after the election, you have to promise me one thing, you will only spend that money in the United States of America.

You will not go to France. You will not spend it in France. You will not spend it in Italy. You will not spend it in any other country but the United States of America. So the choice is very simple on this election. You can vote for the radical left Dumocrat communist to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion.

Can you believe they wanna raise? These are the only people, all my life I've watched politicians, Democrat, Republic, "We will cut your taxes." Ev- -- everybody. These people say, "We will raise your taxes." I don't get it. Maybe that's why we're here and they're not, I don't know. But they, they promise they're gonna raise your taxes.

They're gonna annihilate your borders, decimate Michigan jobs, factories, mutilate your children with transgendered, the mutilation of your children, and give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote. Or you can defeat the Dumocrat communist and vote for more money in your pockets, bigger paychecks for your family, lower taxes, less growth.

A booming Michigan economy and no amnesty for illegal aliens. But to get that, you have to vote Republican and we have great Republicans here. So on election night, Michigan is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it. And Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed, as you know, is a fake doctor who ru- -- who runs, did you know this?

He runs what is considered to be the worst clinic in the entire country of America. Can you imagine that? The worst clinic. Does anyone know that? And that if he treated a patient, they would arrest him because he's not allowed to treat patients. He says he's a doctor, but he's not allowed to treat patients.

He wants to take your money and give welfare to, free healthcare. And by the way, a car worker, a man who beautifully builds all his life cars, probably described, Oz, healthcare better than any of us with all of these stupid educations and everything, right? Could you write it down, please? Could you repeat it the way he said it, not the way you say it? It's, he said, "I've got it." But, uh, it's true.

What a job. What a beautiful job he did. What a great friend he's been too. Thank you. You don't mind if I plagiarize, do you? I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell you. The bottom line is the, they wanna raise middle tas- -- ta- -- uh, your, your middle class is just gonna be decimated by the taxes are going way up thousands and thousands, four or $5,000 a year, and your private healthcare is gonna be gone.

And I have so many friends with private healthcare, they absolutely love it. They're not gonna be able to even think about it. And it's true. In Canada and Europe, they come to use our healthcare system because even cancer patients, they wait for nine months, 10 months, 12 months to see a doctor. They're dying and they can't even get in. And that's the way that system works.

But Abdul says that if people have to wait in line for his rationed communist healthcare, it sucks for them. You heard him say that two days ago. He said it sucks. Mike Rogers is a man who served his country in uniform and with great distinction, protected us as a member of law enforcement and fought for Michigan and Congress like few others.

I knew him as a congressman. He was a great, great respected, one of the most respected men in Washington, D.C. Mike, please come up.

Well, thank you, Mr. President. Uh, we have some important work to do. You know, there's a, the Chevy Silverado is today being built in Mexico. Next year, because of the president, it's coming back to Michigan. Detroit Diesel just announced a third shift for the first time in 20 years right here in Michigan.

And I'll tell you what it means to have somebody that can actually work with the president on things that we would like to see a little different here in Michigan. When I was working with the secretary in the president's office, we talked about, "Hey, I've got this problem that we've been talking about in Michigan for 20 years.

We haven't been able to get fixed. Those Canadians send truck after truck after truck loaded with their trash into our state. [Audience boos]

The president just this week announced he's gonna tariff those trash trucks.

Thank you for that.

With your help, we're gonna get this done. Michigan, we have a state to save. Faith, family, freedom, our finances. Let's get it done for the United States, for Michigan, for our future.

Thank you, Mike. He's gonna be a great senator. He's one of the most respected men in Washington before he even starts, and he's gonna do a great job bringing you everything you need and fast. You also need to defeat your corrupt radical Dumbocrat candidate for governor Jocelyn Benson. Jocelyn, Jocelyn Benson is a disaster.

What she's done to people in this state is the worst voter fraud stuff that anybody's ever seen, what she did. And you gotta be careful. The only, the biggest risk we have is her. She's a crooked, horrible person. You gotta be careful. This is a bad woman who I think hates the people of this state, frankly.

As secretary of state in 2020, she was one of the worst for cheating and the worst place in the whole country happened to be in the Detroit area. It was out of control and she didn't wanna have anything to do with it. She was a disaster. She cheated more, in my opinion, than anybody else, any other politician in the entire United States.

And you gotta watch all of those Detroit votes, and I think you're gonna get a lot of them, but we wanna make sure they count. So Jocelyn Benson unleashed millions of mail-in ballot applications, every registered voter, legal and illegal, living and dead. You saw what she did. What a disgraceful, she is, she shouldn't even be allowed to run.

She set up thousands of unsecured drop boxes and she's a thief. And you gotta just win. You gotta get a very good man, a man that I know so well, and he's gonna be a really, I think he's gonna be a fantastic, I think he's gonna be a fantastic governor, John James. Went to West Point. He's a graduate, an Army Ranger, great helicopter pilot, a combat veteran who'll fight for jobs, lower prices, and he's done more for Michigan auto industry than any Democrat could ever do. John James, come on up.

Thank you, Mr. President, for your love, your leadership, your patriotism. Uh, we recognize what's at stake in this country. We recognize that it's time for a change. And only if we stand up and vote like it will we have that change. People say, "Hey, John, you better win." I say, "You go, you better go vote." Because in this constitutional republic using the democratic process, we deserve the leaders we have.

If you sit on your backside and you don't go to the polls, then it's our fault. The Republican Party was founded in Michigan to march down and fight for those who couldn't fight for themselves. And today in Michigan, we will do the same thing and defeat socialism and give our children a better state than what we got.

The Democrats have been in charge for Michigan for eight years, eight years and we're 42nd in infrastructure. We're 43rd in economy. We're 45th in education. We are 46th overall. They wanna blame Trump, but we all have the same president. We are failing under the leadership of Jocelyn Benson. That is corrupt and she will take us to a dark, dark place.

So I'll tell you what, if you wanna protect childhood innocence, you better vote like it. If you wanna protect your Second Amendment rights, you better vote like it. If you wanna protect your right to privacy, you better vote like it. And if you wanna protect the United States of America, you better vote like it. So get out there, get to the polls, and let's save the United States of America.

God bless you.

Wow. Two great people. You can rely on those people too. They're not gonna be surprising you with, "Let's vote to take away your guns," which will happen, which will happen. You gotta get these two people in. You won't have any surprises. It'll only get better. So Michigan also has to get out and vote for Army veteran Mike Bouchard for the 10th Congressional District. 10th congressional, who's a brave warrior.

Good luck. You're gonna win. The nominee for 8th District, Tom Smith. Tom? Thank you, Tom. I heard you're doing great. I heard you're doing great, Tom. Thank you. And a really good friend of mine, she is a dynamo. Representative Lisa McClain. What a dynamo. You don't wanna be standing in her path when she's angry.

Thank you, Lisa. Great. Thanks as well to Republican nominee for Michigan attorney general Doug Lloyd. Such an important position. Great. You know, you're gonna win. I watched you speaking coming in and I, it was great. Boy, that's what you need here. Republican nominee for secretary of state, Tony Forlini.

Tony? Thank you, Tony. CMS administrator, one of the smartest people, he's really amazing. He's an amazing guy. Dr. Mehmet Oz. Thank you. Michigan GOP chair has done a fantastic job. Well, we won, so what the heck? Jim Runestad. Thank you, Jim. Thanks, Jim. Great job. My senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, and I met him a little bit, uh, during a, in a political sense, sort of here.

I've known him a long time because he happens to be the father of my son-in-law, the husband of Tiffany. And I figured, well, how good can he be? It's a relationship thing. No, he is unbelievable, Massad Boulos. Thank you, Massad. Unbelievable job. We did great with the, with the vote that he was responsible for, boy did we do great.

They liked me and I liked them. Mayor of Hamtramck, Amer Ghalib. Where are you, Mayor? He was there from the beginning. He was there right from the beginning, and I appreciated all that early support, one of the earliest. You know, we went from a rather low number to blowing it out with your community, as you like to say.

Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. We appreciate it. And the former mayor of Dearborn Heights and a great guy, and he's now an ambassador. I see, I take care of my people. When my people are good, when I think they're talented, I, I do it. And that's him and it's also Bill Bazzi. So I wanna thank Bill too for being so good and so respectful to the course.

Chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a man who's made this thing worth so much money for the country. Bill Pulte. Thank you, Bill. Thank you. And another man I worked with so hard on the air base and everything else, Matt Hall, the speaker of the House, Matt. And I'll tell you, he's, he is fantastic. Thank you, Matt.

We work together well. And you're a tough cookie, you know. Thank you. And state Senator Mark Finchem. Mark, thank you very much. Great job. Great job. Great people. All right, let's get to it because I hear, oh, wait, I have a special person. You know who the special person? So they said, "You know, I don't like being overshadowed.

And this woman overshadows me and I'm angry about it. They're, they're going crazy over her. The queen of rap, Nicki Minaj, she's been with me from day one.

We love Trump. We love Trump. We love Trump. [Audience does call and response with Nicki Minaj: "We love -- "; responding, "Trump"]

Michigan, make some noise. I said, Michigan, make some noise. I am so honored to be working with this president. He represents resilience, you know, so many people, um, were maybe giving up a little bit, a little bit hopeless. And since he's come back, he's changed the energy of our country and, um, he's given us a, a, a future to look forward to, a brighter future for us and our children.

So let's make some noise for this great man. I love him so much. And when I say Mike, you say Rogers. [Audience does call and response with Nicki Minaj: "Mike -- "; responding, "Rogers"]

When I say John, you say James. [Audience does call and response with Nicki Minaj: "John -- "; responding, "James"]

Michigan, God bless you. We, we really need all of these great people to be elected because this is a major turning point for our country. And when you're in major states like Michigan, we need this to be a leader in the movement that's happening right now. We need this place to lead in the movement, right?

And we're not gonna give up because we want our children to grow up in a place where we can be proud of. We don't want our children to be bombarded with sex changes, right? We don't want that for our children. We want people to leave the children alone, leave them out of it, right? So, President Trump, it is an honor to stand with you every single time and I will continue to support you forever and ever.

If you run again, I will support you again. [Laughs]

Look at, look at this. I mean, everybody, isn't she great? Right from the beginning. And she never looked more beautiful. Thank you. Nicki, that's great. She never looked more beautiful. And you see why everybody likes Nicki. Love, like, but she is a very, very special person. She gets it. Smart. So everyone here today is part of the greatest movement in the history of our country and our spirit is stronger than it's ever been, and I'm just gonna show you really quickly a couple of charts that CNN did, and it'll show you where we stand, and then we're gonna conclude with something that it's just a love.

It's just love. It has nothing to do with candidates. It has nothing to do -- it's just love, the love that we have for each other. So let me see those charts, please.

[Begin video clip]

[End video clip]

He's great. I hope he keeps his job because he's great. He's a great guy. So, in conclusion, if you elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate on November 3rd, we will continue to put America first every single day always. We will win the war on corruption and fraud, led by our great vice president, JD Vance.

We will pass the "no invasion of our country" act, prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to allow illegal immigrants to gain access. We will not allow that. We will ban sanctuary cities immediately and pass the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers and anyone who kills a police officer or a member of law enforcement.

Death penalty. We will pass voter identification, proof of citizenship and the SAVE America Act to defend our sacred American elections. And we will enshrine in permanent law: no men and women's sports and no trans agenda mutilization of your children. So, ladies and gentlemen of Michigan, the golden age of America is upon us, but you must get out and vote and you have to vote Republican.

I would say everybody in this room is voting. Anybody gonna vote Democrat in this room? I don't know. Do we have any takers? Do me a favor. Don't raise your hand if you are. It'll be not a good... But we've already made unbelievable progress and now we'll reach new levels of greatness. That's what we're doing and that's what we'll continue to do. We've never done anything like this happened in the last, even less than two years.

So it's my honor to be your president during such an exciting time in the life of our country. We've been doing this for 11 years now and there's never been anything like it, and there never will be anything like it in the future, I don't believe. It's something the world has never seen before and probably will never see again.

So let's get out and do what we do best, which is to win. We know how to win. On November 3rd, go out and vote. Because we're gonna make the next two years bigger, better and stronger than ever before because we will make America powerful again, wealthy again, healthy again, strong again, proud again, safe again, and most importantly, we will make America great again.

Thank you very much, Michigan. Thank you. We love Michigan. God bless you. God bless you.
