The Trump Campaign provided the following prepared excerpts of the remarks the former president is expected to give today at Wright Bros. Aero at Dayton International Airport. The actual speech will vary:
HELLO DAYTON! I’m thrilled to be back with the proud, hardworking patriots of the great state of OHIO!
Before going further, I want to express our love for everyone touched by the terrible tornadoes that hit this state. Our hearts are with the families that lost a home or loved one—and to all those affected, we are praying for you.
As you know, this has been another incredible week for our campaign. On Tuesday, we won Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington—and we officially clinched the Republican Nomination for President of the United States!
To all Republicans, Independents, and disillusioned Democrats, I invite you to JOIN OUR MOVEMENT and help us SAVE OUR COUNTRY.
The fastest way to reverse every single Biden disaster is to put me back in the White House and give me a rock-solid Republican Majority in the Senate. That’s why we want to follow up our historic victory this week with a giant win for BERNIE MORENO in the U.S. Senate primary this Tuesday, March 19th.
Ohio needs to DEFEAT your horrendous Radical Left Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown—and elect Bernie Moreno to help us Seal the Border, Stop Inflation, Crush the Deep State, Drill, Baby Drill, and Prevent World War Three.
With your vote, we are going to take back the Senate, we are going to WIN Ohio this November, and we are going to tell Crooked Joe Biden “YOU’RE FIRED”.
Among my very first actions upon taking office will be to STOP THE INVASION of our country and SEND JOE BIDEN’S ILLEGAL ALIENS BACK HOME.
3 years ago, we had the safest and most secure border in U.S. history—we ENDED catch and release, built 571 miles of Border Wall, and got Mexico to send 28,000 soldiers to our border free of charge.
Joe Biden came in, immediately demolished our border, and threw open the gates to foreign armies of illegal aliens from all over the world.
Now in Venezuela, the murder rate is DOWN by almost 66 PERCENT, while violent crime in America is way UP. All over the world, crime is way down because they’re sending their criminals, their perverts, their murderers, their terrorists, their human traffickers, their drug dealers—they’re all pouring into the United States because of Joe Biden.
One week ago, I met with the family of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley, who was brutally murdered in Georgia last month while out on her morning run. Laken’s killer was set loose into the United States through Joe Biden’s program of releasing military-aged males into our communities after they have illegally crossed our southern border.
Laken Riley would be alive today if Biden had not unleashed this savage into America—but instead of apologizing to Laken’s family, Joe Biden apologized to the KILLER for calling him an “illegal”— he said he should have called him “undocumented.”
In the Republican Party, we believe that Laken’s killer is an illegal alien criminal, he is an illegal alien MONSTER, he should never have been in our country, and he would never have been in our country under the Trump policy.
Joe Biden cares more about protecting the FEELINGS of illegal alien criminals than he cares about protecting the LIVES of innocent American citizens.
Not one more American life should be lost to migrant crime. When I am President of the United States, I will demand JUSTICE FOR LAKEN.
On Day One of my administration, I will terminate every Open Border policy of the Biden administration, and we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American History.
No one has been hurt by Joe Biden’s migrant invasion more than our great African American and Hispanic American communities. With his Open Border policy, Joe Biden has repeatedly stabbed African American voters in the back—including by granting millions of work permits to illegal aliens, crushing wages for actual Americans. Thanks to his Open Borders policy, virtually 100 percent of the jobs under Biden have gone to foreign-born workers.
When I am President, we will end this Biden Betrayal of the African-American Community—we will stop the theft of American jobs—we will protect American wages for American Workers—and we will save the American Dream.
In my first term, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world—we had record tax cuts and regulation cuts, and rising wages for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed—all with NO INFLATION.
Under Biden, the cost of rent is up 20%, groceries are up 21%, chicken is up 26%, butter is up 27%, bread is up 30%, sugar is up 30%–and thanks to soaring interest rates, the cost of the typical mortgage is up nearly 100%. Now in his budget this week, Joe Biden is proposing another $7.3 TRILLION dollars in spending to accelerate his inflation trainwreck, and he also wants $6 TRILLION dollars in tax hikes.
With your vote, we will throw out Bidenomics, and we will reinstate MAGANOMICS.
Crooked Joe and his socialist thugs are looting trillions of dollars from the American People, and giving it to their Radical Left friends. But Biden’s reign of plunder stops the day I take the oath of office. The hardworking American Taxpayer will once again have a friend, a fighter, and a champion in the White House.
Biden’s socialist spending nightmare is also an existential threat to Medicare and Social Security.
Crooked Joe is robbing our seniors blind to pay for his Green New Scam and his massive migrant invasion. If the millions of Biden Migrants are allowed to stay, Medicare and Social Security will buckle and collapse.
Joe Biden is throwing Granny off the cliff to fund welfare, healthcare, and free housing for illegal aliens.
As President, I will ALWAYS protect Medicare and Social Security for AMERICAN SENIORS. I made that promise, and I KEPT that promise. Your Medicare and Social Security will be safe with me—I GUARANTEE IT.
But if you want to defeat the Radical Left Democrats, you first have to get out and vote for BERNIE MORENO for the United States Senate. Bernie is a political outsider who has spent his entire life building up Ohio communities—and now, he is going to be your warrior in Washington.
Bernie is strong on borders, and he will fight to crush the cartels that are flooding our towns with fentanyl and deadly drugs. Bernie will vote to SAVE the American Auto Industry from the Green New Scam, he will be tough on China, ferocious on crime, great on election integrity, he wants to get wokeness out of our military, and he will not let the Radical Left Democrats raise your taxes.
Bernie is running against a weak RINO named Matt Dolan who is trying to become the next Mitt Romney. Matt Dolan once ran for office as a Democrat—and he’s so easily pushed around by woke left-wing lunatics that he renamed his family’s baseball team from the Cleveland INDIANS to the Cleveland GUARDIANS.
Matt Dolan is weak on borders, weak on crime, he will vote for Mass Amnesty for illegal aliens, and he cares more about sending your money to Ukraine than stopping the invasion of OUR southern border. He supports left-wing gun control and voted against a law to let Ohio citizens defend themselves from dangerous criminals. Matt Dolan also strongly supported Joe Biden’s $1.2 trillion dollar so-called Infrastructure Green New Scam, which helped cause rampant inflation. That’s why this Tuesday, you need to elect America-First champion Bernie Moreno to the U.S. Senate. Bernie, come on up!
From the very first day that we take back the White House from Crooked Joe Biden, I believe we are going to have the four greatest years in the history of our country.
In my first 4 years, I kept my promise to the workers of Ohio, and we ended the disaster known as NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made, and replaced it with the brand-new USMCA, the best trade deal ever made—a giant win for Ohio farmers and manufacturers.
I took on Communist China like no administration in history—bringing hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into our treasury, when no other president had gotten even 10 cents from China.
For our great Veterans, we passed VA Accountability and VA CHOICE. We fully rebuilt the U.S. Military and created SPACE FORCE—and I was the first president in decades who started no new wars, instead I brought our troops back home.
Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled—and we will restore PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.
I will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act. If China or any other country makes us pay a 100 or 200 percent tariff, we will make them pay a reciprocal tariff of 100 or 200 percent right back. You screw us, we screw you! And as tariffs on foreign countries go UP, taxes on American workers and families will come DOWN dramatically.
On Day One, I will terminate Crooked Joe’s insane Electric Vehicle Mandate.
We will restore LAW and ORDER to our country. I am going to indemnify all police officers and law enforcement officials throughout the United States to protect them from being destroyed by the radical left for taking strong actions on crime.
We are going to rebuild our cities into beacons of hope, safety, and beauty, better than they have ever been before. We will take over the horribly-run capital of our nation in Washington D.C.–and clean up, renovate, and rebuild our capital city so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime, but rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world.
So if you want to Save America, then GO VOTE FOR BERNIE MORENO. The Primary is THIS TUESDAY, March 19th. Let’s send Sherrod Brown and Crooked Joe Biden a message that we are coming like a freight train this November.
Together, we are taking on some of the most menacing forces and vicious opponents our people have ever seen. But no matter how hateful and corrupt the Communists and criminals we are fighting against may be, you must never forget, this nation does NOT belong to THEM—this nation belongs to YOU.
This is YOUR home, this is YOUR heritage, and our American liberty is YOUR God-Given right.
We are ONE movement, ONE people, ONE family, and ONE GLORIOUS NATION UNDER GOD!
And together, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA POWERFUL AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
And WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
THANK YOU, OHIO!
