It's simple. How about let's put America first? I've done that for the past 4 years, and it's a policy that works. We're going to keep putting our interests first, not other countries. We should be focusing on our own interests, that's not what Cuban wants to do. It's what I will do and will continue to do. We've spent trillions and trillions and trillions overseas before my administration. We stopped that. Let's not start doing it again now.
Why is this in our interests? I just told everyone watching that we're not going to spend trillions overseas. Anyone who has an idea about money knows that this is a terrible trade-off to throw trillions overseas. What Cuban wants to do is bring back the Obama foreign policy where we spent trillions, trillions, trillions overseas. I'll say it again and again, we cannot go back to making these horrible deals at the expense of our taxpayers. The elite and special interest want to make sure that we go back to this disastrous foreign policy. Not in my administration, never in my administration. The only special interest I serve is the American people.
This is some of the best growth in history. The American People made a great choice hiring someone who knew something about money rather than the same establishment politicians that always control everything. We're going to continue bringing our jobs back, we're going to finish building the wall and securing our border, we're going to keep making America great again! It's astonishing with such massive economic growth that someone from my own party would challenge the President. It's just what the special interest want, but it isn't what the American people want.
The only president in history to completely remove all debt was Andrew Jackson. With our 2019 fiscal budget, we're headed to be the 2nd President to do that. With the national debt down more than 9,000,000,000,000 since I took office, we're going to give our children a future that they deserve. The only person that can keep this happening is you, the American people. We put America first abroad for once, and any statistic can show you that was a good decision. We need to continue that. We will continue that.
Mueller ended his investigation because there was nothing to investigate like I've said multiple times, and the only people that still push this are the desperate elitist and special interest that once controlled everything. Now, it is the American people who control. With record high stocks and record low unemployment, the Republican Party has a choice. They can either return to the same failed establishment politics or they can stay with the administration that has given America a booming economy, declining national debt, and one of the most popular foreign policies ever.
Closing StatementWe've come too far to give up. More Americans are at work than ever, the stocks are at their best, the economy is one of the best it's ever been. It's because the American people control, and we can't turn back on that. Let's beat the special interest and lobbyists once more. Let's keep making America great again.
