President Donald J. Trump entertained roaringly enthusiastic crowds of 25,000 people on Saturday, March 3, at four locations: live at National Harbor, and by video to Liberty University in VA, Colorado Christian University in Colorado and Pepperdine College in California. In his remarks, President Trump made the following points:

•  Fiat Chrysler just announced an incredible expansion of a new plant and the doubling of their workforce. Many other companies are moving back to Michigan.
• Failed previous policies of the old ruling class are over.
• The Chinese were asked: “How is it possible you got away with the high tariffs?” They responded: “Nobody asked us before.”
• Chinese tariffs on cars are 40%, ours are zero. The U.S. is responding with reciprocity.
• The Democrats’ $100 trillion Green New Deal would mean no cars, no planes and no energy. Electricity wouldn’t be available when there’s no wind or sun. Every building would be destroyed or rebuilt. In short, it would destroy the American economy.
• America will never be a socialist country.
• Previously, Mueller was a nasty piece of work when dealing with Trump’s business. Mueller’s current team includes a lawyer with the worst reputation in the U.S. and a Hillary lawyer. “Lyin’ Jim Comey” is Mueller’s best friend.
• No obstruction of justice occurred. The President has every right to hire and fire appointed personnel.
• 30,000 pages of regulations were deleted from the Federal Register.
• The largest package of tax cuts in American history was passed.
• The individual mandate for Obamacare was eliminated.
• Free speech will be restored in our nation’s universities.
• Major development of oil and gas in Alaska’s ANWAR region is now possible.
• A new trade deal with Mexico and Canada, called USMCA, replaced NAFTA.
• The unemployment rate of 3.7% is the lowest in 51 years. The rate for blacks and Hispanics is the lowest ever.
• Effectively no inflation exists.
• In the last two years ICE officers made 266,000 arrests of illegals who had criminal records. Illegal aliens commit crimes at three times the rate of American citizens.
• Lawlessness on the southern border provides cash flow for the most dangerous criminal organizations on the planet. They flood the cities with drugs that kill thousands of citizens. We’ll defend our borders.
• Democrat lawmakers have abandoned the American mainstream.
• Execution of babies after birth is supported by Democrats.
• The Veterans’ Administration now allows use of private doctors. Bad employees can be fired.
• Negotiations with North Korea are continuing.
