Our achievements make us American. And nobody has ever had the achievements that we’ve had. We are the nation that dreamed and created the modern world. We laid the railroads. We raised up those big, beautiful skyscrapers, harnessed electricity, and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the assembly line, the television, the microchip, the personal computer, the internet, the GPS, the smartphone, and almost everything else that has ever been invented, including, especially over the last few days in certain areas, a thing called air conditioning.
We invented it all. We charted the human genome to cure diseases. We powered entire cities by splitting single atoms and planted our flag on the moon. Americans fill the airwaves of the planet with our music and our culture. We invented baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, NASCAR, and the rodeo.
We love that rodeo of the West. Americans have won the most Olympic medals of any country in the world by far, the most Nobel prizes. Well, they haven’t given me one. I settled eight wars. I still haven’t gotten it. That’s okay.
And the most world records. We published by far the most patents. We produce the best movies. We make the best music. And we raise up the greatest entertainers and strongest athletes the world has ever seen. So true.
We built the biggest and most dynamic economy. And by the way, our country today is doing better than it’s ever done before. Never had anything like it.
With as of last week, $19.2 trillion pouring into the United States right now from all over the world. That’s the investments being made. And the record was three. Four years and in four years. The last administration did much less than one, and we did 19.2 in 12 months.
And thanks to our great election win, November 5th, and the tariffs, plants and factories are being built all over the United States right now, and they’re being built at a number that we’ve never, ever seen before. So much more. There’s — we’re breaking records by double, triple, quadruple.
We created the strongest and most powerful military. We won two world wars — the Cold War — left America’s enemies in the depths of history. We beat Venezuela in one day, and we knocked the hell out of Iran. They’re dying to settle. They want to settle so badly. We gave them a week off for a funeral because we’re nice.
For 250 years, the entire world has looked to our country and been inspired by the leaps of progress, feats of strength, and acts of selflessness, faith, and hope that could only have happened right here.
Two years ago, we were laughed at, mocked, and the nation in decline. We were in very serious decline. Last administration, what they’ve done to us, we can never, ever forget that. And today we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. Everybody respects us like no nation.
Remember this, we’re respected like no nation in the world is respected like us. Every king, every prime minister, every president, they respect us more than any other country by far. Two years ago, they laughed at us. Now it’s only respect. And I want to tell you, the best is yet to come.
So, in conclusion, from the roaring waters of Niagara Falls, to the shimmering gushes of oil and fire from our beloved Texas, from the magnificent fields of corn and wheat and barley of our farms in the Midwest, to the vast canyons of finance in New York City, from the billowing sacks of steel now being produced all over our country at record levels, to the car plants that are rising like we have never seen before.
We have more plants under construction than we’ve had ever before.
