Donald Trump Gives Remarks at 9/11 Memorial Service

It is now my great honor to introduce to you our Commander-in-Chief, President Donald J. Trump.

Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much.

Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief so many Americans feel at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie was a giant of his generation — a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people. Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Erica, and his beautiful children — fantastic people they are. We miss him greatly.

Yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice, and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people — especially young people — will live on. I’m pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie Kirk, posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The date of the ceremony will be announced, and I can only guarantee you one thing — we will have a very big crowd. Very, very big.

Thank you, my fellow Americans. Continue reading “Donald Trump Gives Remarks at 9/11 Memorial Service”

President Trump Delivers Remarks on Charlie Kirk

To my great fellow Americans: I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror.

Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much — the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He was a martyr for truth and freedom, and there has never been anyone who was so respected by youth.

President Trump Delivers Remarks to the White House Religious Liberty Commission

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi: Thank you. And thank you, Lieutenant Governor Patrick. Our founders believed every individual has the right to worship freely without fear of their own government. No one knows this better than President Trump. Under his leadership, we have dropped FACE cases against pro-life Christians, stopped the FBI from spying on Catholics, launched multiple investigations into antisemitism in schools, and we are aggressively prosecuting vicious crimes against Jewish Americans.

President Trump is fighting each day for our parents, our students, and every American’s right to live out their faith. There is no greater defender of the First Amendment than the President, and there is no greater President than Donald Trump. We all thank President Trump for protecting the God-given rights of every American. And it is my great honor to introduce to you the 45th and the 47th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.

Song plays (“God Bless the USA”):
I know. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that life to me. And I can’t stand next to you still today. But there ain’t no doubt I understand. God bless the USA.

Donald Trump: Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I said we’ll have to cut Lee Greenwood a little bit short. How good is he? How good is he, right? He’s been with us right from the beginning. And I wanted to stand and listen to the entire song, but people would have said, “Look at the ego of that guy. He just wouldn’t stop. He just stood there and listened to the applause.” But I appreciate it very much. Continue reading “President Trump Delivers Remarks to the White House Religious Liberty Commission”

President Trump Makes Announcements, Sep. 5, 2025

Thank you very much. We’ll start by signing three very important bills. Will you discuss them, please?

This is H.R. 2808, the Home Buyers Privacy Protection Act. The Congressman here was the lead sponsor, so I think maybe he can say more about it than I can.

Well, it’s difficult for Americans to buy a home, particularly after the last four years, sir, but with the President’s signature today, we’re going to make it easy for people to buy a home without getting hassled. For years, their private, personal information has been bought and sold in the open market, resulting in them getting innumerable phone calls and text messages. But with your signature today, we’re going to put an end to that so when Americans try to realize the American dream of owning a home, they’re able to do so without being harassed.

President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Poland

Trump: Thank you very much. It’s a great pleasure to have President Naraki with us — in Poland. He did a good job with that — right? Maybe a little different pronunciation. I said I want to get it perfect. Did I get it right? Yeah? Good, good. No, we’re okay. I better get it right.

And the President’s been, uh, amazing. He had an incredible race. He came from behind and he won very handily. The people of Poland have taken to him immediately; they really love him. There’s great love and respect. He’s a very successful man, but he — he went into a political “hatchet,” so to speak. It was a pretty tough race, pretty nasty race, and he beat them all — and he beat them all very easily. And now he’s become even more popular as they got to know him, and know him better. He’s doing a really fantastic job. Continue reading “President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Poland”

President Trump Makes an Announcement, Sep. 2, 2025

The President: It’s a very important day and an important announcement with great friends of mine. I think I can say this group—every one of them—I rate a 10. I can’t always say that, even if they’re Republicans. And these are Republicans—great Republicans. I want to thank you all for being here for this important announcement, seven years in the making.

As you know, this has been going on for a long period of time, and I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful, uh, locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama—forever to be known from this point forward as “Rocket City,” okay? So, Huntsville, Alabama. We love Alabama. I only won it by about 47 points. I don’t think that influenced my decision, though. Right? That didn’t—right. But we had a lot of competition for this and, uh, Alabama’s getting it—Huntsville in particular. So congratulations, everybody. Katie, congratulations.

Press Briefing By Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt-August 28, 2025

Good afternoon. Good to see all of you. I want to begin today’s briefing by addressing the horrific shooting that took place yesterday at the Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a deranged shooter opened fire during morning Mass, killing an innocent 8-year-old and 10-year-olds. Fourteen other children and three adults were also injured during this horrible tragedy.

This was the first morning Mass of the school year for these beautiful, innocent children, and this sacred religious service was desecrated by an evil monster. We are all eternally grateful to the heroic law enforcement officers and first responders whose courage and swift response aided all of those impacted by this horrible tragedy. Continue reading “Press Briefing By Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt-August 28, 2025”

President Trump Holds a Cabinet Meeting, Aug. 26, 2025

Trump:
Hello. Thank you very much. Are you all set? You all ready? Nice group. Big group. But I want to thank you all for being here as we prepare to celebrate Labor Day, when we honor the incredible, hardworking men and women of our country—which is doing very well.

I have to tell you, every policy of the Trump administration is designed to lift up the American worker, promote great-paying blue-collar jobs, and rebuild the industrial bedrock of our nation. It’s also, obviously, for great defense. We have the greatest military in the world. We rebuilt it largely in my first term. Some of it was stupidly given away to Afghanistan—for what reason, nobody can figure out.

But it was still a relatively small amount compared to the concept of what they did. However, the country is doing well. We’re respected all over the world like never before, probably. We went to NATO, as you know, and they went from 2% to 5% of GDP. Nobody expected that. And the difference is—they didn’t pay the two, and they paid the five. So, as you know, we are selling a tremendous amount of equipment to NATO. We’re not spending any money. We’re making money. Continue reading “President Trump Holds a Cabinet Meeting, Aug. 26, 2025”

President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Korea August 25, 2025

President Trump:

Well, that’s a big crowd. This is a very large crowd. You get more than most countries, I have to say. This is a very good crowd of the media.

It’s an honor to be with President Lee of South Korea. Uh, we’ve known each other and gotten along very well. We have some additional trade because I hear they want to renegotiate the deal, but that’s okay. I don’t mind that. That doesn’t mean they’re going to get anything, but I don’t mind.

But we’re going to have some very serious discussions about different things, including trade, where we do a lot with South Korea, as you know. We’re thinking about contracting some ships. They build them very well in South Korea. They’re also thinking about coming to our country with some shipyards to start us on the process of building ships again. Do you know, in World War II, we’d build a ship a day? And today we don’t build ships anymore, which is ridiculous. We’re going to start that again.

We were like you—we were building ships all the time for everybody. And presidents and people allowed that to slip by. Now we buy ships, but we’re going to be buying ships from South Korea. We’re also going to have them make ships here, with our people, using our people, and we’re going to go back into the shipbuilding business again. Because, really, essentially, we don’t build ships anymore, which is ridiculous. How that ever happened—but we were the best at it.

President Trump Signs Executive Orders, Aug. 25, 2025

Trump: Thank you very much. It’s a very important day for many reasons. We’ve had a lot of important days lately, but this is a meeting and a group of people that are doing an unbelievable job in a thing called crime—and in particular, violent crime.

Today, we’re going to be discussing it. And, uh, I watched as a very incompetent mayor from Chicago said, “Well, what do they know? They only arrested nine people.” I said, “Nine people? We didn’t arrest nine people. We actually arrested a total of well over a thousand people. We took hundreds of guns away from young kids that were throwing them around like it was candy. We apprehended scores of illegal aliens. We seized dozens of illegal firearms. There have been zero murders.”

It sounds sort of terrible to say. It’s embarrassing. I did this over the weekend. I’m making a speech, and I acted like I was so proud as I said, “We’ve had zero murders in the last week.” And some of these people were from foreign countries. They said, “That doesn’t sound so good.” And I said, “Well, it doesn’t sound good, but Washington was the most dangerous place in this country. And now, you know what? It’s probably the safest place in our country. Everyone’s starting to come here. The restaurants now—you can’t get in. Many of them closed because they couldn’t open with crime.” Continue reading “President Trump Signs Executive Orders, Aug. 25, 2025”
