President Trump: "The decline of America is being forced upon us by Biden and the radical left lunatics running our government into the ground. This decline is not a fate we must accept."
President Trump: "Together, we will be taking on the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests imaginable... This is not a task for a politician or a conventional candidate. This is a task for a great movement."
President Trump: "This will not be my campaign. This will be our campaign all together. Because the only force strong enough to defeat the massive corruption we are up against is you, the American people."
President Trump: "The radical left Democrats have embraced an extreme ideology of government domination and control. Our approach is the opposite, based on freedom, values, individual responsibility and just plain common sense."

President Trump: "We will abolish every Biden covid mandate and rehire every patriot who was fired from our military with an apology and full back pay."
President Trump: "I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress. I will ask for a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns, a lifetime on lobbying by former members of Congress.. a ban on members of Congress trading stocks on insider information"
