This historic trend will continue. Already, I’ve secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factory openings, and far greater national security. Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been used successfully by other countries against us, but not anymore. [snorts] companies know that if they build in America, there are no tariffs. And that’s why they’re coming home to the USA in record numbers. They’re building factories and plants at levels we haven’t seen. AI, automobiles. We’re doing what nobody thought was even possible. Not even remotely possible. There has never, frankly, been anything like it. One year [snorts] ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail. Totally failed. Now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that’s said by every single leader that I’ve spoken to over the last five months.
