President Donald Trump rallied supporters in Dalton, Georgia, October 16, 2026 urging voters to back Rep. Mike Collins for U.S. Senate against Sen. Jon Ossoff and Rick Jackson for governor ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. In a wide-ranging speech, Trump touted border security, record economic numbers, military operations in Venezuela and Iran, and promised a $5,000 “Trump dividend” for adult citizens if Republicans win the House and Senate. Here is the full transcript of Trump’s midterm rally remarks in Dalton, Georgia.
Opening Remarks: “Pretend I’m on the Ballot”
DONALD TRUMP: Well, I want to say a very big hello to a very, very special place. Hello, Georgia, and hello, Dawgs. We like Dawgs a lot. Two years ago, I won this state with more votes than any presidential candidate or any political candidate in the history of Georgia.
I’m very proud of that. And eighteen days from now, the people of Georgia are going to defeat your weak, arrogant, hate filled, radical left senator who is really… I call him Pee-wee Herman. Pee-wee Herman. Looks like Pee-wee.
His name is Jon Ossoff, highly overrated. And we’re going to send Mike Collins to the United States Senate. And we’re going to send a great friend of mine and an amazing man, Rick Jackson, will be your next governor. Amazing. Incredible.
And we’re going to elect a strong Republican House, and they’re all here right now. Look at these people, warriors, warriors. Oh my. We have a lot of victory. In this election, I’m asking you to… You have to pretend I’m on the ballot. Okay. The story is this. We get 49% more vote when I’m on the ballot. When I’m not on the ballot, I guess it’s a compliment, but people don’t show up so much.
So this is really, I think, the most important midterm election maybe we’ve ever had because there’s never been anything like what we’ve done. And we can’t have them take it away from us and from our country because we’ve made America greater than we ever thought even possible, and it’s going to go to lengths that you’ve never seen. But you have to go out and vote. You have to go out and vote.
So pretend I’m on the ballot, get that 49% of the people, and if you have the 49, you’re going to have Rick, you’re going to have Mike, you’re going to have every one of these people, and they’re going to do a job for you because they love you and they love your state.
Early Voting in Georgia
DONALD TRUMP: Early voting in Georgia is already underway. Early voting’s underway and continues through October 30, so you really have to get out there. And if you’re voting by mail, make sure that you request your ballot by October 23.
And to find out how or where you have to go to vote, which I’d be surprised if anybody in this group… I mean, “Where do I go to vote? Please help me.” But if you do want to know that, swampthevoteusa.com. It’s all very simple.
The 2017 Special Election and Jon Ossoff
DONALD TRUMP: And in June 2017, we had a candidate for Congress who was losing badly. I felt so badly for him. You know who it was? Ossoff. But he was losing very badly in special election to a guy that looked like Pee-wee Herman and still does, in my opinion. I don’t know. Somebody said, “He’s a good looking man.”
I don’t think he’s a good looking man. I actually think Mike Collins is a good looking man. And he’s all man. He’s all man. I’m not sure about… And I actually think that Rick Jackson’s a very handsome, distinguished, beautiful looking guy.
But anyway, so Ossoff was leading by a lot, and they called me in to help. It was a special election. It was the only one. And I came in, and I held a massive rally for the person, very nice woman. And we ended up beating ourselves.
So I beat him, and that was in 2017. I beat him once, and now we’re going to beat him, more importantly, a second time. And the woman won, very nice person, Karen, won 52 to 48 in the special election, and it was a shocker at the time. Nobody could believe it because he had a massive lead.
It actually started where he had a big lead and there were about six or seven candidates and he got 49.9… Think of this. He got 49.9% of the vote. So he had to go into his special election, but he thought he was going to win that easily. And she beat him 52 to 48. It was pretty amazing.
And you know what? That was the best thing that happened to him. He lost and then he became a senator. How the hell does that happen, Rick? But that’s life, isn’t it? I didn’t know I was helping him, actually. But we knocked his ass, and now he’s going to do it again. We’re going to beat… You’re going to have, in my college, you’re going to have one of the best senators.
Mike Collins: “Central Casting”
DONALD TRUMP: Anyway, he’s one of the most respected people in Washington. There’s nobody more respected than Mike. The job he’s done as a congressman, the congressman will tell you, they’re all here. They’re one of the most respected guys, and he is central cast. Stand up.
Look at this. If I’m casting a movie for a senator, I like the white hair. I like the big, strong build. Big, strong guy. But that’s what I want, but he’s a respected man.
David Perdue and the 2020 Election
DONALD TRUMP: Then you had the election with Ossoff against David Perdue, a really good guy, senator. David Perdue, and it was a rigged election. You know that. And David actually won that election. He won it by a lot.
I sent David to China.
But David won, and I also won the election in Georgia. We won it by a lot. If you remember, it was… What a mess that was. And you see what happened in Fulton County with the ballots. You’ve been watching that disaster. What a crooked deal that was. The whole thing was crooked.
But Ossoff lost that election, but they gave it to him because it was a rigged election. That’s the only reason he became a senator. He needed a rigged election.
Border Security and Open Borders
DONALD TRUMP: And from the moment Jon Ossoff became your senator, he partnered with the Crooked Joe Biden administration, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Joe, whatever the hell you want to call him, he was a terrible president, to demolish America’s border and turn your beloved state into a dumping ground for the prisons and jails from all over the world.
They emptied their prisons into our country and a lot of them came right here to Georgia. What a disgrace. Open borders. The open border policy. And by the way, if the Democrats get in, they will do that immediately again. They’ll open up your borders. You have people coming in from mental institutions, murderers.
With Ossoff’s support for open borders, 25 million people poured into the United States totally unchecked and unvetted. No checking. No vetting. They just walked right in, and many were very bad hardened criminals. Ossoff helped the Democrats do it, and if they win in the midterms, they’re going to do it again. You’ll have open borders again. You’ll have the transgender mutilization of your children again.
Ossoff wants to pack the Supreme Court in order to open your borders, which are now the safest and most secure borders in the history of our country. And he wants to pack the Supreme Court, very importantly, to do something that you’re not going to be too happy with. He wants to take away your Second Amendment. He’s going to take away your guns. He’s always wanted that.
You know what I’ve learned in politics? Just believe it or not, I haven’t been doing it that long. Some of these guys are in there a lot longer than me. Right? Look. And they’re congressmen, but I’m the president. But that’s still pretty good. But they’ve been there a long time, and they know what’s happening.
They want to change the Supreme Court because they want to take away, among other things, they want to open borders, but they want to take away your Second Amendment. The proud people of Georgia will not let that happen because we will fight, fight, fight, and we will win, win, win a lot.
Laken Riley and Tren de Aragua
DONALD TRUMP: Before Ossoff and the Democrats created open borders, the Venezuelan prison gang, Tren de Aragua, did not exist in the United States. It did… One of the most vicious gangs of the world, maybe the most vicious. They cut off the hand of a man in Colorado because he called the police because they took over his apartment. Can you imagine you own an apartment?
They threw him out of his apartment. Then he called for the police and he cut off… They cut off his hand. They said, “You do it again, we’re going to cut off your arm.” Other than that, they’re extremely nice people.
But using his power as a senator, Ossoff and the Biden administration brought these complete animals and thugs into Georgia. They imported sadistic illegal alien gang members and cartel savages to plunder, rape, and kill.
Right here in your state two years ago, a beautiful… I mean, such a story, such a horrible story. A beautiful 22 year old nursing student named Laken Riley was attacked on the campus of the University of Georgia and viciously assaulted and murdered by an illegal alien member of Tren de Aragua.
You know the story very well. That monster was set loose by the cruel open border policies of Jon Ossoff. He supported it. He wanted it. He wanted open borders. Who the hell wants open borders? And Laken Riley paid the price for his stupidity.
On November 3, Georgia needs to throw open borders Jon Ossoff out of office, and elect Mike Collins, get the illegal alien gang members out of the country.
But wait, let’s get a commitment from my colleagues. Mike, you promise you’re not going to have open borders. You are not going to have the transgender mutilization of their children. Okay? You’re not going to do all of the crazy things that they want to do. We will protect our Second Amendment. We will cut taxes. We will take care of our military, our vets, our soldiers, our everything. Right? He’ll do it all. You don’t have to worry about him. Actually, he’ll do more than we even want.
“Promises Made, Promises Kept”
DONALD TRUMP: Like me, I always said promises made, promises kept. And the truth is, there was an article the other day in, actually, a rather hostile paper that’s just coming to our side because they’re saying it really works. But they said, “Trump is the only guy who made promises as a politician when he campaigned, and he fulfilled those promises, but much more.” And that never happens in politics.
That’ll happen. That’s going to happen with Rick Jackson. That’s going to happen. He’s a great businessman. That’s going to happen with Rick. I really believe it. I’ve been watching you. You are good, and he never did this before. He did it because he wants to straighten out things, and he’s an amazing story.
But first, let’s finish off with Ossoff. Rick, would that be okay? Yeah. Don’t worry. I’m going to talk about you because your story is crazy good. Thank you. Rick, your next governor.
Ossoff’s Immigration Record
DONALD TRUMP: So Ossoff voted in favor of deadly sanctuary cities like those that released Laken’s killer into the streets. He voted in favor of amnesty for criminal illegal aliens, in favor of Biden migrant flights bringing in illegals from all over the world.
Do you remember when we had the border all clogged up? And then we noticed airplanes flying over. And we said, “That’s an unusual number of planes.” Yeah. Biden was flying them in over the border. We stopped that too, but it took us a few days to realize… Well, we looked up to the sky, said there was a plane every 2.5 over the head. We said, “That’s a strange looking sight.” No. They flew him in.
He voted against the border wall. He voted four times in favor of catch and release. Can you imagine? Catch. We catch you and then we release you. What the hell good? Why do you bother? Just release. Just don’t… Just leave below. Why do you do that?
And Ossoff even voted to give taxpayer funded COVID relief. They gave checks and money and everything else to illegal aliens while our great military veterans were laying in the streets freezing or from the heat or from the cold, and the illegal aliens would go and get the finest hotel rooms in the city and Atlanta and very many other places while our vets were staying sweating and freezing depending on the season right in the middle of the street.
“Zero Illegal Aliens in Seventeen Months”
DONALD TRUMP: Thanks to Ossoff, we inherited the worst border in American history. But with Mike Collins’ help and all of these incredible people sitting right there working with Mike and me and everybody else, we turned it into the strongest border in the history of our country. Right, fellas? The strongest by far.
And a number that’s not even believable, actually. I wish they put down a 100 or 10 or a thousand because it’s not believable. But people that lean left do them. You know what lean left means? They lean toward insanity. No. These are left leaning people that do these statistics, and they just came out with the… A next statistic because we’ve been going month by month.
In the past seventeen months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States for southern border. Who would have thought… What? Who would have thought that’s possible? No. I really wish I didn’t have to say it because it’s almost unbelievable, but that’s the way it is. Zero in seventeen months.
You remember? 25 million came in and now it’s zero. So, actually, I’d like to say a 112 came in or 615 came in. So 25 million came in and now we have zero. And the problem with zero, it’s like that believable, but that’s really the number. Zero people have come in through our border. Hard to believe.
Justice for Laken Riley
DONALD TRUMP: During the campaign, I promised Laken’s family that I would deliver justice for Laken. Laken has an incredible family. And on day one, I signed the Alien Enemies Act declaration to expel Tren de Aragua rather violently from our country. I also designated them a foreign terrorist organization, which meant… Let’s put it this way, I won’t go into it. It ain’t good for them. Right? It’s not good for them, Mike.
And you know who fought us hard on that? Jon Ossoff. He didn’t want us to call them a terrorist organization. He didn’t want that. That was a designation that he felt was too tough. How the hell did he ever get elected? Well, didn’t get elected. It was a rigged election.
And we’ve sent many of those savage terrorists and gang members to a secure prison in El Salvador. You ever see the prison in El Salvador? When we catch them, they said, “No, El Salvador. No. No. We don’t want to go to El Salvador.” So you know what they do? They don’t commit crimes. That’s what they do.
So they can never threaten Americans again when they’re in that prison. That’s a big deal. He does a hell of a job. That country has done a tremendous job, actually.
Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela
DONALD TRUMP: Earlier this year, with Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela… So how did we do in Venezuela? Forty eight hours that war was done. Forty eight hours. And I’m actually being nice because it’s forty eight hours I want to say that, but it’s actually the real number is forty eight or forty nine minutes the war was over.
And they have a strong military too, but we hit them, you know the words fire and fury. We hit them with fire and fury. They didn’t know what the hell happened. They were all set. They were watching those planes coming off the aircraft carrier at 12:00, dead black, dead dark, no moon, no nothing. But they saw those planes pouring off through the radar.
They saw the flames coming out of the planes. You think it’s dead black, but when you see fire pouring out of airplanes all over the place, you say, “We’ve got problems.” And then those planes were fairly quickly ashore, and they got hit like no military, they say, has ever seen.
A Venezuelan general, a great general, they say. He said, “We were all set to take them on, and then they started coming, and we never had a chance. We ran for the hills.” They ran for the hills, and we’re doing just as well in Iran. That will be over very, very soon, and they will never have a nuclear weapon.
The Decision to Strike Iran
DONALD TRUMP: So, you have to understand country was doing so well. It’s never done better. Although, I must tell you, the stock market is much higher now than when we first went after Iran.
But I was in Iowa. I’ve told this story. I was in Iowa making a speech. I’m driving down the highway getting ready to speak. Big crowds just like this. We have big crowds all over. These rallies have been unbelievable. Unbelievable. Two days notice, we’re going to go to Georgia. The place is packed. Outside, you have thousands of people who can’t even get in. Thank you.
So I’m in Iowa, and unlike Biden and Obama and these guys, they don’t look at gas pumps, but I do, and I’m looking at the price. And the price just before, the day before we went in and started bombing the hell out of them, the day before gasoline was $1.95 a gallon and $1.85, two stations I looked at.
So we’re at $1.85 in Iowa, and that was going to be that way. That was probably a little bit on the low side, but it was going to be that way all over the country.
And then I called Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick and Pete Hegseth and General Razin’ Caine and some of the others. I’ve called them in, and Jamieson Greer is fantastic. I called them in and I said, “Fellas, I hate to do this. We’re at an all time high. We’re going at full speed on 12 cylinders, every cylinder working perfectly. But we’ve got to stop. We’ve got to do a little excursion down to a republic. It’s called the Islamic Republic of Iran. We’re going to do… Take a little detour, and we’ve got to go down there and bomb the hell out of them. I hate to do it. We just hit an all time high, but they were two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.”
Said we can’t let that happen because they would use the nuclear… They’d blow up Israel, they’d blow up the Middle East, they’d blow up the entire Middle East. Look, they had… They turned on all these countries that were sort of neutral, if anything friendly. They were bombing the hell out of them. They had nuclear. They would have used the nuclear instead of the regular bombs. And then they would have turned on Europe and they would have turned on us. They’re crazy.
So what happened, as I said, everything is going great. It’s like everything’s so perfect. All I had to do is go to sleep, relax for a couple of nights, sleep, sleep, sleep as opposed to yesterday. You probably read people are impressed. I’m not impressed.
“4:48, President Has Arrived”
DONALD TRUMP: But I got in. They said, “Sir, it’s 4:48.” He goes, “What does that mean?” I’m walking through the door of the White House. It’s actually a very cool place, Rick, I have to tell you. So I’m walking in at 4:00 in the morning, 4:48 to be exact, and there’s a handsome soldier like all these guys.
We’re in the merit system now. We won in the Supreme Court. Everything is based on merit. So we’re allowed to have big, strong, handsome soldiers now. We want strong soldiers. We want soldiers that can fight.
So anyway… So there’s a couple of soldiers and he goes, “4:48, President has arrived.” I said, “That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard.” They never did that when I walk into Trump Tower. They never did that when I walk into Mar-a-Lago. They don’t do it. And these guys are central casting. You couldn’t hire guys that look this good, and they love it.
So I said, “What is 4:48?” “That’s the time of the hour, sir.” I said, “I’ve never heard this before.” I said… “Well, we do that when it’s very late in the evening to let everyone know you’re here, sir.” I said, “That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard.” See, there are some reasons to be president. I would say that’s the top, it’s pretty nice. And these people are amazing.
A Country Based on Merit
DONALD TRUMP: But we did. We won merit. We have a country now, like in the old days, that’s based on merit. It’s based on who has the best marks to get into college and who has the best boards and who has the best of everything.
You don’t have people getting in with the C and low boards and a guy with A pluses all the way up and down the line and 1,600 in their college boards and all of the other things, and they don’t even have a chance of getting in. Everything now is based on merit. The military, jobs, college.
I tell you what, I have my difficulties with the Supreme Court, I’ll be honest with you, but I really think that was a tremendously brave decision that they made. And I was a little surprised. I was very pleasantly surprised. Our country is now based on merit, and I never thought I’d be able to say. I think it’s one of the biggest thing.
“To the Victor Belong the Spoils”
DONALD TRUMP: So in June, the US military also carried out a precision strike to terminate the terrorist leader of the Tren de Aragua gang, extinguishing that vile monster from the face of the earth. We worked very closely with the government of Venezuela, which we now get away with, that it’s incredible actually, the relationship that we have with Venezuela.
Well, we did win the war. So, somebody said, “Well, why do you have this relationship with Venezuela? Why are they treating…” Because we won the war, that’s why. When did you hear it last? Did you ever hear the expression, “to the victor belong the spoils”? Right?
We never used that. We used to go in, bomb people, and then leave. What the hell? We destroyed lives, cost us a fortune, destroyed lives all over the place, and we left. What are we doing? What are we doing?
So… Well, Venezuela, we paid for that war many, many, many times over, and that was just a little while ago. We’re taking out billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of oil. And when you add that oil to the United States oil, we are probably about 60% of the world’s oil is what we could… Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Because Venezuela has a lot of oil and gold and diamonds, and they got a lot of everything.
Protesters at the Rally
DONALD TRUMP: Well, they’re paid protesters. So we had two or three of them. And tomorrow’s story… Look at all the fake news. That’s a lot of fake news, Rick. That’s a lot. Wow.
And tomorrow’s story will be, “Oh, they had protesters.” It’s toupee protesters. But you know what? First of all, their mother and father are watching, and they’re going to smack those kids around when they got home today. Because they both voted for Trump. They voted for Trump. Everybody voted for us.
Who’s the young lady in the yellow cape? Did you see her? Where is the yellow cape person? She went up. Did you see her? The hell with the women’s sports stuff. I mean, I wouldn’t want to take. She went up there, ripped them out of their seats, and threw them the hell out of here. Where’s the woman with the yellow cape? Man, she was great. I’m going to bring her to Washington. I love it.
Boy, oh, boy. That’s incredible. I don’t know if anybody saw that. First of all, the two people are like nothing, but they’re from Atlanta. No. But they get paid. They get paid a couple of bucks and they do that. It’s ridiculous.
And they screw up their reputation. They get booked because we book them. You got to do it. Otherwise, you’d have it. We book them. So now for a couple of bucks, they got, I think, $250 each. Now for a couple of $100, they’ve screwed up their reputation for the rest of their lives. It’s sad, isn’t… But I love the woman with the yellow cape. She was right on there. She’s pushing them around, slapping the guy around.
Far left loser, Jon Ossoff, see now, he probably paid them. The guy’s a loser. And I beat him once, and I told you, I went through the whole story, but I’m telling you, we’re going to beat him again. He does not represent your values, and he never won the election. He was in there as an impostor. Would you call him an impostor? I would. I don’t care. They say, “Oh, that’s such a horrible thing to say.” That guy never won the election. It was a rig deal.
Affordability and Inflation
DONALD TRUMP: So he voted for every single Biden disaster that gave you the highest inflation in American history. When they talk about affordability. Yeah? It’s a word they made up. Affordability. Well, they’re the ones that caused the affordability.
When I came in, it was January 20. I came in, and on January 21, I had a news conference. And some of those same people were at the news conference, and they were screaming at me. I was only there for less than one day, substantially less than one day, and I’m having a news conference.
I thought it would be a victorious conference. I thought the fake news would be saying, “Oh, sir, what a great race you ran. You won every single swing state. You won 87% of the counties. You won the popular vote. You won the Electoral College in a massive landslide.” I thought the press would say, “Congratulations on a great run.” No. No.
My first news conference. January 21. So I take office on the twentieth. I figured maybe I won’t have a news conference out of Matilda. So the next day, I have a news conference, and I’m waiting for accolades from the press.
And they said, “What about the cost of eggs? What about the cost of beef?” Boeuf. You know what boeuf is? Expensive beef. That’s the only difference. They charge more money if you call it boeuf. When you go to a French restaurant, it’s boeuf. Would you like boeuf or beef? What’s the difference? Say the same thing. The boeuf costs a lot more, double the price. A lot of people say, “I’ll take it.” Those are stupid people, but they say, “I’ll take it.”
But they said to me, “Sir, eggs are four times more expensive than they were in your administration.” That’s four years ago. I said, “Good. Is that… That’s a compliment. Right?” What about it? “When are you going to get the price of eggs down, sir? Prices are going up and inflation is through the roof.” I said, “Wait a minute. I’m here less than a day.”
And then they hit me with the word, they said, “Affordability.” Affordability. In other words, like it was my fault, I just got there. And they’ve been hitting me with that word for the last year. Every time something’s a little high…
Iran’s Military Wiped Out
DONALD TRUMP: And you know what’s funny with the gasoline? So gasoline and oil is… We got rid of the… Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon. They’ll never get a nuclear weapon. Their navy’s gone there. Military’s gone there. Air force is totally wiped out. 289 planes lying all over the runways. Their planes are lying in tiny little pieces all over the runways of Iran.
They have a 159 ship navy. That was a big navy, but within three days, it went from a 159 ships that were floating to a 159 ships that were at the bottom of the sea. Take care of that. No more radar. No more anti aircraft. Nothing.
No more leaders, actually. I might have gone too far with the leaders because I have nobody to talk to. Their first leaders are gone. Their second level of leaders is gone. Part of their third level… And then I said, “Fellas, you got to… I got to speak to somebody. What are you doing? You got to take it easy.” People are saying, “Who’s the president?”
In Iran, it’s the only country where nobody wants to be president. They have… “Alright. Let’s go.” We hear everything they’re doing. We hear everything they say. This is classified. We hear everything they say. Okay? I just unclassified it.
“Alright. Let’s go. Who wants to be president, everybody? Who wants to be? Mohammed? What about you? Mohammed? Mohammed? Mohammed? Mohammed?” Everybody’s face. If you doubt about somebody’s name from the Middle East, just say Mohammed. Had about a 65% chance. Hello, Mohammed. I’ve done it for years now. I’ve never been wrong.
But so we say, “Who wants to be president?” “No. No.” “You, Mohammed. You’d be a great…” “I don’t want to be… Just leave me alone.” So anyway… So we promised we won’t do too much, but we’re in very strong…
Oh, and then people like the New York Times would write, “Iran is doing extremely well.” The navy’s gone. The air force is gone. The military’s gone. They have 301% inflation. They have no money. They have no anything. Actually, the only thing they are setting records on is inflation. The best thing they have going is they have the highest inflation anywhere in the world.
And I read in the New York Times that Iran is doing extremely well. Fake news is all over the place. It’s sad. That’s why the New York Times is failing. That’s why other outlets are failing. And the conservative outlets are doing very well because all we want is the truth. All we want is the truth.
The Golden Age of America
DONALD TRUMP: But Ossoff and the radical left Democrats handed us the dark age of America, but we quickly turned it into what it is right now. You know what it is right now? The golden age of America.
And this has been considered by, I think, almost everyone to be the most successful two years, and we’re not even close to the two years. We’ve got four months to go of a president in history. It’s the most successful two years of a presidency.
I mean, add Venezuela. Add Greenland. How do you like the deal I made on Greenland, Rick? Rick’s a great… Got it for nothing. No. But we’re working with Denmark. We’re working with Europe very nicely, way it worked out. Remember everyone said, “He’s going to attack Greenland.” No. I’m not. But they called. I was very upset. They knew I was upset, and they also knew I was right. And we just made a deal for Greenland.
A lot of people don’t know that. They don’t like to cover things like that. If you’re not going to make a deal, they cover it, but when you make the deal, they just sort of want to keep it quiet. No, it’s probably the greatest real estate deal ever made. Although, I think Venezuela is pretty good too, if you want to ensure. I think Rick would take Venezuela. Right, Rick? Rick is a very good businessman. I think he’s going to take Venezuela.
Record Stock Market and 401(k)s
DONALD TRUMP: The highest stock markets that we’ve ever had. And we had… Listen. We had 87 out of a short period, much less than two years. 87 times we had the highest stock market in history. And your 401(k)s are the highest. Some of them are up $50,000, $60,000, $70,000, more money than you ever thought possible.
And I tell the story of a policeman who’s in New York, and he came over to me. He was six foot six, handsome guy. He said, “Sir, I’d like to thank you.” “Why?” “401(k).” I said, “How are you doing with it?” He said, “It’s double.”
Said, “My whole life, my wife had thought I was a financial moron. Everything I invested in, I lost money. But since you came to office, my 401(k) has more than doubled. I’ve made a lot of money, for me a lot of money, sir. More money. And now my wife thinks I’m a brilliant person.”
I said, “What are you going to do with the wife now that you made all this money?” He said, “Well, I’m going to keep her, but I feel a lot more secure in my relationship.” But he was almost crying. Actually, he said, “It’s the first time in my life I’ve made a fortune, and I didn’t do anything.” He goes, “I didn’t do anything. I just have a 401(k). It’s double.”
Who has a 401(k) right here? Well, yeah, I mean, they say the stock market doesn’t mean it. Well, the stock market means 401(k)s, means a lot of other things, it means jobs. So we have the highest stock market in history, and this is with the war.
But it’s not just… It’s a military exercise. Okay? It’s a military exercise. And how good is our navy with the blockade? How good is that? Not one Iranian ship has been able to get there.
Record-Setting Economic Numbers
DONALD TRUMP: But our nation is doing better now than it’s ever done before. The real facts are our country is more successful now than it’s ever been and is more respected than it’s ever been, but the fake news media refuses to talk about our record setting numbers. So if you don’t mind, I will mention just a few because if I don’t do it, nobody else will other than perhaps Rick and Mike and these great congresspeople.
And I see Beach… Wiz Beach, our treasurer. He’s the treasurer of the United States, Brandon Beach. Brandon, stand up. How are our numbers doing in the country? Can’t even believe it. I made him treasurer two years ago, because he’s great. He was a state senator. Right?
Oh, he’s got the coin. He made a coin that he was very popular with the Democrats. He made a coin, Trump. He made a dollar coin with Trump’s picture on it. Oh, that went over big with Schumer and these guys, didn’t it? With Hakeem. Hakeem’s thrilled. Send some to Hakeem. It’s his… Some to Schumer. He’ll be thrilled. But he’s been great. But our finances have never been better. Right? Yeah. He’s doing a great job, by the way. Great Georgia person.
It was just announced that under Republican leadership, incomes for hardworking Americans have soared to the highest level ever recorded. Okay. So we’re going to go through just a few little stats, and then I’m going to leave the dais because I don’t have to do anymore because they’re so big that I don’t have to stand up here hot as hell, by the way.
So we have the biggest individual income in the history of our country. Then we have the second point. These are little talking points that the fakers refuses to say. Every time I start talking about them, I see the red lights go off. They turn… “We’re going to commercial now. We’ll be back in just a minute.”
But second point, more Americans are working today than at any time by far in the history of our country. Can you imagine? Great talk with you. So we’ve got more Americans working. We’ve got the highest individual income that we’ve ever had in our country by far.
And then here’s the next one. The poverty rate has just reached its lowest level. In other words, the best level for people in poverty, the best level in American history. In other words… So the poverty rate is the best. The income level is the best.
More people are working in our country right now by far, and that’s before all these factories that are being built. We’re building more factories than at any time in the history of our country, car plants. We’re building numbers that… I will tell you, the pharmaceutical companies are building hundreds of billions of dollars. Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Merck, they’re building them all over. They’re building a lot right here, by the way, in your state.
African American poverty, Hispanic American poverty, Native American poverty, and the rates are at their lowest levels ever recorded, the lowest levels in the history of our country.
Manufacturing and Record Exports
DONALD TRUMP: And here’s one that I love. Here’s one… And by the way, these are not Trump numbers. These are government. I didn’t make these up last night. Thought, “Well, let’s see how we doing. Blah blah blah.” Like the Democrats do. Exports.
So if you remember Barack Hussein… You remember a guy named Barack Hussein Obama? Terrible president. Call him the divider in chief. Right? Divider. He divided our country. Barack Hussein Obama said, “You’ll never have manufacturing in our country.” Remember that? Very, very, very soon.
He also said, “You can have your own doctor.” How did that work out? Nobody’s seen their doctor. In fact, a couple of people saw their doctor recently after about a twenty year miss. No. They saw their doctor and the doctor had aged. They didn’t even recognize him. You can’t have your own doctor. They lied to you so badly.
But he said you’d never have manufacturing, and yet this stat came out this morning. Exports have soared. Exports. In other words, we make something and we sell it to another country. We change the thing around. Exports to the highest level in American history. That means we’re making product and selling it. That’s called making America great again. That’s called making America great again.
And for decades, blue collar workers in Georgia were betrayed by corrupt, heartless, globalist politicians like Ossoff. Ossoff… Look. I’ve been in Washington for actually a long time. I won the first election by a landslide. I won the second election by a landslide, but I didn’t get there.
And then I said, “Too big to rig.” Did you see where Kamala copied that? I had Kamala say, “We have to make the election too big to rig.” I said, “I can’t believe she copied my phrase.” By the way, she got killed by that even by the Democrats. But we made the election too big to rig, and we won in a massive landslide.
But think of this, we’re in the carpet capital of the world and you’re doing better than you’ve ever done. You’ve done better than you’ve ever done.
So I want to wrap up the speech. I’ll be finished now. In fact, I’m going to finish because you just heard best individual income numbers ever. Best individual poverty. Other words, the poverty higher than they’ve ever been before by a lot, by a record amount. Right? More people working in this country than ever before. More things are exported, manufactured, and sold than ever before. And we have about 10 other things, but I feel I don’t have to stand up here any longer and talk to you.
I’m leaving. Goodbye, Georgia. I’m only kidding. No. But I could. Rick, wouldn’t that have been a great time to cut off the speech? We have more people working than ever before. How the hell can I improve in those? But we can keep going.
Manufacturing Jobs and the Bidens
DONALD TRUMP: This year alone, we’ve created 70,000 manufacturing jobs and 50,000 construction jobs. And next year, those numbers will be doubled, more than doubled, and a lot of them are right here in Georgia.
And under Crooked Joe Biden, and he was a crooked… Oh, did you see what came out today about Joe Biden with his son and Ukraine? Remember they put him in charge of an energy company in Ukraine? And they asked him, “Do you know anything about energy?” He had no idea what the word meant. And they paid him millions of dollars and millions, but it turned out to be much worse than that.
And the fake news won’t bother reporting it, but they got them cold. They got them cold. What they did was really bad. They got them cold. So you go home and you’ll probably have a hard time finding the story because they only report about us.
Under Sleepy Joe Biden and Jon Ossoff, factory workers saw their wages fall by nearly $1,900. Under President Trump and Republican wages for factory workers are up to $5,000 more. So you had a $2,000 loss. You had a 5,000… A 7,000. I’ve only been here for nineteen months. No. That’s… Can you believe it?
“The Hottest Country Anywhere in the World”
DONALD TRUMP: Less than two years ago, our country was dead. Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. So, that statement was true. The King of Saudi Arabia, when I was over there, said, “A short time ago you were a laughing stock. All the way around the world, everybody was laughing at the USA.” He said, “And in a very short period of time, you made it the hottest country.” This is the hottest country anywhere in the world.
We’re the strongest. We have the best military. I built our military. We gave a lot of it away to Ukraine, but we’ve rebuilt it pretty much now. And soon, it will be completely rebuilt. Gave a lot of it away. Could have charged it if they would have paid you. Just sell it to Europe.
You know what I do? I sell it to Europe and they can do whatever they want. They can have fun. But they pay us hundreds of billions of dollars. Biden gave $350 billion worth of equipment and cash to Ukraine. Not good. Not good. Not good.
And you got right now, you got millions of dead soldiers. They’re averaging 25,000 a week. Last month, they had 32,000. This month, they had 25,000. They’re averaging about 25,000 dead soldiers a month. That means a Gettysburg field. I’ve seen some of those pictures, and I really don’t want to see them anymore.
That’s a war that has to stop. It’s a war that if the election weren’t rigged, the second election, if it weren’t rigged, it would have never happened. That would have never ever happened.
Record Investment in Georgia
DONALD TRUMP: In four long years of Crooked Joe Biden, they got less than $1 trillion of new investment. So $1 trillion, but much less than that in four years. Whereas, we have secured commitments for more than $21 trillion in just fifteen months. So in fifteen months…
And very much like with the border, what a difference a president makes. Because remember? Remember when Biden said, “No. I have to get from Congress to close up the border”? Now? He put his border czar in there. She didn’t make one call to the Border Patrol, and she never went to the border. But other than that, she was extraordinary.
We had the worst border in history. There’s never been a third world country like a border with that. Even a third world country at least tries to keep people out.
Here in Georgia, the company UCB is investing $2 billion to build its first ever pharmaceutical factory in the United States, and they’re all coming back. Eli Lilly is coming back with billions of dollars. Pfizer is coming back. Merck is coming back.
The tire manufacturer, Pirelli, just announced it’s investing 1.2 billion. That’s a lot of money to expand its factory in Rome, Georgia with about 1,900 new jobs. And many others, but as an example, Hyundai just announced it will address $560 million to expand its factories in West Point, Georgia.
The $5,000 Trump Dividend
DONALD TRUMP: Our country is doing so well under Republican leadership that only I can make this promise to you. You know what I’m going to promise? $5,000. If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States $5,000.
And only Republicans can do that because the Democrats, they can’t do it because they’re taking in massive amounts of money through tariffs. What we’re doing through tariffs is unbelievable. We’re taking in trillions and trillions of dollars.
But more important than the money, companies and countries are building in our country because they don’t want to pay tariffs, so they’re building plant and equipment at a level that has never been seen. Car companies are leaving Germany, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and they’re building right here in Georgia, but they’re building all over the United States.
Superintelligence
DONALD TRUMP: And we’re leading China by a lot in super intelligence, SI, which agent named it SI because it’s much more accurate. Because artificial intelligence is more like the press. It’s artificial. It’s fake. It’s not artificial. It’s very real. It’s actually super. To be honest, it’s actually… It’s super intelligence with changing it to SI.
Everybody likes the idea. Even all of the geniuses that got awards the other day, we awarded a lot of great, brilliant people that are doing this and other things, but they all like it. SI, superintelligence.
But the Democrat policies won’t allow this to happen. They won’t allow you to make money. They won’t charge. All they want to do is charge extra taxes. They want to double your taxes. First time I’ve ever seen it.
All of my life, Rick, I don’t know if you and Mike and all these incredible heroes from Congress, and we have the head of a very powerful group. Would you please stand up? The most beautiful woman… Well, have to say one because I get myself in trouble. One of the most beautiful women in the administration. Now I’m covered. You understand that. Right? From right here in Georgia, everybody knows. Thank you, honey. You look great. Fantastic person too.
But if the Democrats win, you will have a 1929 style economic depression. You can have a depression.
Coming Down the Escalator
DONALD TRUMP: But all my life, I’ve heard politicians talking. I’ve always loved politics. I never thought I’d be doing this. I never even thought about it until about an hour before I came down the escalator with our great first lady. I said, “Let’s do it. Let’s give it a shot.” Well, look what happened. Who the hell knows? You never know.
I said, “Let’s give it a shot, Rick.” I come down the escalator. The place is going crazy. I didn’t have a speechwriter. I gave a speech, and I said all the bad things that are happening at the border. And I spoke from my heart.
And I came out, and there were a total of 16 people running. And I took a lead of 40 points on the first day, and it was sort of over, I think. 40 points. And I said to my people, “That was easy. That was quick.” Yeah. But some of them are very good people. Some of them are now in the administration. We have some great people.
“Promises Kept”: The $1,776 Military Dividend
DONALD TRUMP: But if the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pockets and economic success for our country like you have never seen before. And remember, you got to remember because the Democrats are going, “Well, I don’t think you’ll do that. I don’t think you’ll do that.” But I’ll do it. I always do it.
I just recently gave members of the United States military $1,776. Right? And everyone said, “He’s never going to do that.” I said, “Not going to do it.”
And it’s interesting because I called in four generals, great generals. I called them in, and they’re standing in front of the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. And I said, “Generals, we got great military people. We should give them a dividend. If you don’t mind, let’s go order Trump’s dividend. We’re going to give them a dividend.” “Sure. We could do that.” And I said, “Come back and tell me what it is.”
So they come back two hours later, and it was $1,775. And they put the number in front, and I said, “That’s a weird number. $1,775.” I said, “You know what, general? If you could scrape up $1 more, we’re $1,776.”
And you know what? That was a year ago. It got done. It was no big deal. And, other than to the military, they liked it a lot. And they still are thanking me every time I see a soldier. “Thank you for the $1,776.” But it was a weird feeling because I’m looking at this number, 1775, and we have really… Look. Our military is good.
But it got done just like the 5,000 is going to get done, but it can’t get done under them because you have no money. You’re flat broke if they get it. This country is going to be flat broke. The jobs are going to be going back.
The Trump dividend is approximately, as an example, $1 trillion. So if you do that, it costs the country $1 trillion. But we have a record setting $21 trillion that’s being invested in the United States just in fifteen months.
So the only caveat is you have to spend that $5,000 in the United States of America. You can’t go… Let’s… Right? You can’t say, “Darling, darling, the president just sent us $5,000. Let’s take a trip to China and spend our money in China. Or I’ve always wanted to see Japan. Let’s go there, darling. I love you so much. This is so great.” Or, “Let’s go to… How about France? It’s a lovely place.” Revolutions. France seems to be so damn good for revolutions. It’s unbelievable. “Let’s go to France and join the revolution and spend our 5,000 there, or let’s go anywhere, darling.”
And she’ll say, “No. No.” The caveat is you have to spend it in the United States of America. So, “Let’s go to Miami, darling, or let’s go to Palm Beach and enjoy the president for lunch. Let’s have lunch at Mar-a-Lago,” where for $5,000, you’ll get one hamburger and a small dessert. I shouldn’t say that as a… I should. Should. Yes. You probably… Get a hamburger.
The Choice in This Election
DONALD TRUMP: The choice in this election is very simple. You can vote for the radical left Democrat communist to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion, annihilate your borders, decimate Georgia’s farms and factories, mutilate your children, and give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote.
You know the reason they let a minister vote. You know that, don’t you? And they’re going to give him amnesty. Does anybody in the audience have a problem giving a man who murdered three people amnesty and the right to vote? Because you have plenty of them that got in.
Or you can defeat the Democrat communist and vote for more money in your pocket, bigger paychecks for your families, lower taxes, less crime, a booming Georgia economy, no amnesty for illegal aliens, but you must vote Republican to do that.
Historic Drop in Violent Crime
DONALD TRUMP: And just think of what we have accomplished in less than two years’ time. Since I took office, we’ve achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded in the history of our country. Think of that.
And by the way, we’ve gotten many of them out, in all fairness. The Border Patrol and ICE are amazing. Okay? The abuse they take and our law enforcement generally, but the abuse they take. But think of that.
Those numbers and these numbers, in spite of the fact that they’ve led hundreds of thousands of criminals into our country, but many of them have been removed already. The career criminals and the worst of the worst, and we are getting them out at levels never seen before, and they are. They’re terrible people. The murder rate is at the lowest level in one hundred and twenty five years, that’s since the year 1990.
The Great Big Beautiful Tax Cut Bill
DONALD TRUMP: And thanks to a Republican Congress, I signed the great big beautiful… I call it the great big beautiful tax cut bill because it’s the biggest tax cut in history, delivering the largest tax cuts in American history. We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
And we even made… Because this is something, rich people are always bragging about the deductions they get, but it’s not fair. So I said, “We have to do this.” I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. This was my idea. We made interest on car loans tax deductible, but only if the car is made in America. If it’s made in Japan, if it’s made in Canada, Canada.
Gulf of America, Lake America and the “Trump Strait”
DONALD TRUMP: Oh, boy. Lake Ontario is now Lake America. Do you know that? Here’s another one. They said, “You’ll never be able to do that.” I said, “Let’s give it a shot.” It’s now officially. It’s in Google Maps. Google Maps is everything.
But, I mean, of more significant importance, the Gulf of America is now ours. So when I said we’re going to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, everybody laughed. “Oh, that’s so funny.” So, oh, they’re all laughing. I don’t know. They keep laughing at me, then they say, “What the hell is he doing?”
No. But I suggest… I’ve been thinking about it because we have 93% of the shore, and they have 7%. And I said, “Why is it called the Gulf of Mexico?” And it’s incredible, the wealth there. There’s oil underneath. The waters are magnificent. But it’s 97% ours all the way along Florida, all the way down and around, hit Mexico.
So I said that and people go, “That’s so funny. That’s so funny.” It’s not funny. So I filed papers and then I called up Google. I spoke to the top people at Google because Google Maps is a big deal. And I said, “How do you feel about changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America?” And I said, “What do you think of that, fellas?” “Well, I don’t know.” I said, “What do you think?” And they said, “Well, we think it’s a great idea.” And… No. They were great. And it is now the Gulf of America.
Do you know the business there? A long bat shirt. Do you know it’s tripled and quadrupled? It’s the hottest thing to see selling Gulf of America hats and everything else. Who the hell wants to wear a… Seriously, who wants to wear a Gulf of Mexico hat? I almost wore Gulf of America. You’re not quite close enough. You’re close.
But if I do it along certain states, I think when I go down to certain areas, the Panhandle, Susie, I’m going to bring up those Gulf of America hats, they’re selling like crazy. No, but the business has literally quadrupled. It’s amazing.
And we have some other ideas. So I have a gulf, I have a lake. Now I want to have a strait. That’s the Hormuz Strait. How will the Arab countries feel if we name it the Trump Strait? What do you think? Matt, what do you think, Matt? The Trump Strait. So then we have a strait. We’ll be able to pull that one off. Now everyone’s laughing. “Oh, that’s so funny.”
The only thing we’re missing is a freaking ocean. So I called up Google, and I said, “Let me ask just one question.” You know what they’re going through? First they do the Gulf of America, then they take the small lake away from Canada. It’s not a small lake, but they… We have a lake. I said we’re going to do this strait, but then I said to him, “We need an ocean. How do you feel about the Trump Ocean for the Atlantic or the Pacific?”
You know what they said? “We’ve had it. That’s enough. We’re not doing anymore.” I said, “I agree.” No. I was only kidding. No. I sent them a little picture of… Where it says, “The Trump Ocean.” And they called back. They said, “Sir, look. Okay. This one, we can’t do. Oceans are different. Oceans cover many, many countries. We can’t do it.” I said, “I was only kidding.” That time I… Although it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever… It’s not one of the greatest ideas.
Eliminating the Death Tax for Family Farms
DONALD TRUMP: To protect family farms, we virtually eliminated the unfair estate tax or death tax. We eliminated it. Such a big deal because… And Rick, you, and Mike, all of you guys should campaign in this. It’s so important because it was such a problem. The estate tax or the death tax, it’s devastating. It’s 30, 40, 50% depending on size.
Mother and father, they love their children. The children grow up in the farm. They want to stay in the farm. They love the farm. It’s all they know. They love farming. They don’t want to go to the big city and all of that. Their way of life is incredible. But it’s land rich and maybe sort of cash poor. The land is valuable, but it doesn’t make that much, but it’s a good living.
And the parents would leave it to their children that they love so much, and their children would get hit with a tremendous, millions of dollars in estate taxes, death tax, we call it, but estate taxes. And they’re devastated. Then they start looking around where we’re to get that kind of money. They go to the local bank. They go all over the place.
They end up borrowing, in some cases, millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars, more than they could ever pay, but they’re desperate. And they end up losing it to foreclosure, and they end up committing suicide in many cases. In many cases, the children commit suicide because they lost the farm that their beloved parents had left them, and we got rid of the estate tax or death tax.
So now if you want to leave your children the farm or small business included. And remember this, if you don’t love your children, what I just said, just don’t worry about it. It’s a waste of time. Is there anybody here that doesn’t love their children? Is there anybody here that will not leave their farm or small business to their children? Ben, I just wasted a hell of a lot of time. There’s nobody. There’s not one… I bet there is a couple of people that… They’re marginal. Right?
No. But it’s so great. It’s a big story. I mean, you can read this a lot. They end up killing themselves. They end up committing suicide because they’re losing their farm and they feel their parents are looking down so horrified and terrible.
So, there’s no more, Rick, there’s no more inheritance taxes, which are massive. 50%. It gets up to 50%, even higher than that. And there’s no more death tax. It’s the same thing with different words, but a lot of people use the word death tax. I use inheritance, but it’s a death tax. And you can leave it to your children, you don’t pay any tax, and they can go happily on their way, and hopefully they do great.
Most Favored Nation Drug Prices
DONALD TRUMP: Under my most favored nation’s agreements on drug prices, we went from paying the highest prices anywhere in the world by far to paying the lowest prices for drugs anywhere in the world by far, with differences of 300, 400, 500, 600, or even 700%. It’s the biggest thing to happen in the drug industry ever.
Nobody thought it could be done, but I did it. I did it because I got the drug companies. I was rough with them, but I got the drug companies, but they were fine because they knew I couldn’t get the countries because the countries had to agree. But then I informed the countries that, well, if you don’t do it, I’m going to put tariffs on the country, which is 10 times more money than we’re talking about. And every country said, “We would love to do it, sir.”
I joke about Emmanuel Macron, who’s a nice guy from France. He’s the bigwig in France, and he said to me, “Donald, Donald, you must be kidding.” I said, “No, Emmanuel, you’re going to have to double the price of your drugs because a pill for $10…” In New York City, we’re paying a $130 for that pill, 13 times the amount.
So if you raise it up because the world is a bigger place. So if you raise it up to 20 or 30, which is a doubling, could be a tripling. But if you raise it from $10 to 20 or 30, ours comes down to $20 because it’s favored nations. In other words, we get the lowest price in the world. Whatever the lowest price that drugs are sold for, the United States of America gets the lowest price.
That’s the biggest thing ever to happen. And you guys should use that for your campaigns because nobody else could have done it. And the press barely writes about it. I mean, it’s unbelievable. I call it the fake news. But the fake news barely… Think of it. They barely write about it.
DEI, Critical Race Theory and English as the Official Language
DONALD TRUMP: We abolished all discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion policies throughout the federal government. We got critical race theory and transgender mutilation insanity out of our schools.
I mean, we have five states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy three or four days later. It’s true. And teachers make… Somebody makes a decision. Can you imagine? “Goodbye, Timmy. I love you so much. I’ll see you later.” And you say, “Where’s my son?” “My son is in the hospital.” Can you imagine? Can you imagine? They don’t even need approval. It’s sick. They’ll have five… I think Minnesota and some others, I think it’s five or six states. You know that, right?
So… And we made English the official language of the United States of America. And thanks to our Republican Congress, we delivered largest ever investment in the United States Armed Forces, over $1 trillion that we got these congressmen. Every one of them loved it. They want to go more. We’re going to go a little bit more this year, I think. So… And it’s all made in America.
Ossoff’s Voting Record
DONALD TRUMP: Every single Democrat in Congress, including Pee-wee Herman, it’s Jon Ossoff. That’s how… He looks like Pee-wee Herman. And didn’t Pee-wee have a checkered last number of years? He passed away, sadly, but he had a very checkered last number of years. That’s Jon Ossoff. He’s Pee-wee Herman, telling you. Pee-wee.
They voted against our record tax cuts. They voted against no tax on tips. They voted against everything, the Democrats. They voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against no tax on Social Security for our seniors. They voted against voter ID. You know why? Because they want to cheat. They voted against proof of citizenship when you vote because they want to cheat.
They voted in favor of the worst inflation and highest energy costs in American history, in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children, and in favor of men playing in women’s sports, men in women’s sports.
On election night, Georgia is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it and love it dearly.
So Ossoff is a weak and insecure phony who votes against Georgia values every time. Ossoff supports no cash bail, releasing violent criminals back onto your streets, and immediately upon arrest, he’ll do whatever they want to do. He’s owned by the criminals. He voted to mandate the COVID vaccine for school children who didn’t need it. He voted three times to have men playing in women’s sports. Three times.
Men in Women’s Sports
DONALD TRUMP: Did you see the weightlifting contest recently where a young championship female weightlifter lifted 211 pounds. That’s pretty good. And she was going for the record, but unfortunately, a person who transitioned… I’ve got all the words right. Took me a while. I took a lot of heat from the fake news. Transitioned into womanhood, but, unfortunately, his muscles didn’t transition.
And he lifted… I’m not going to do it today because my wife gets so… She says it’s so unpresidential. She said, “When you do the whole thing with the weightlifting and the swimming and the dancing when you leave, I hate it. You’re a president.” I said, “I just won in a landslide. Leave me alone, will you?”
Now Melania, she’s got one of the top movies of the year. Can you believe it? Called “Melania.” But she’s a very elegant person. But she hates when I do the weight lifting. “Come on, darling. You can do it.” “Uh-uh. Mom, I can’t do it, mom. I won’t be… Well, can’t do it.” Oh, she hates it.
And then the guy comes out. He was a failed man, weightlifter, failed. He couldn’t even do anything. But now he’s a champion. And he comes out, he looks at that two hundred and eleven pounds, whatever it was, looks down, says, “One hand.” Bing, bing. It’s terrible. You know how demeaning it is to women, really? So demeaning to great women athletes is ridiculous. He won by over a 100 pounds, by the way.
How about recently there was a long distance, very long, one of those super day deals. Crazy. I don’t know why people want to do it. But they run all day. They swim and they bicycle and everything. And they had the best women athletes in the world and the best men athletes. The man won by six hours thirty two minutes and eighteen seconds.
What he did is he wanted to wait around for the trophy. They said, “Sir, you have to wait till the girls come in,” they said. So he went inside. He slept for a few hours, came out. It was still way too early. Went and slept for a little longer. Then he got out, picked up his trophy, and he went home. How crazy. Right? How crazy.
And we’ve won about 90% of the case already in the Supreme Court, but we’re going to have it finalized out. The only problem is I sort of don’t want to finalize it because I want to run on this for the Republican Party for years. I don’t want to take this off.
And I only talk about it right before an election. I never talk about men playing in women’s sports. I never talk about the transgender mutilization of your children. I never talk about open borders for everybody. The world’s worst criminals are allowed to come in unvetted, unchecked, because I don’t want them to change their policy, to be honest with you, because, ultimately, we can’t lose other than their cheating, which is massive.
That’s why they cheat. They have to cheat because their policy is no good. That’s why I call them Dumocrats because their policy is dumb. So I call them Dumocrats. I can’t believe it took me nine years to figure that one out. I exchanged an e with a u, that’s the end of it. Took me nine years, but they are. They’re Dumocrats because of their policy. But I don’t want them to change their policy because I want to continue to win.
Carbon Tax, DEI and Reparations
DONALD TRUMP: He voted for a federal carbon tax. Remember Obama? “We want a carbon tax on all planes.” Then he hops on Air Force One, flies to Hawaii to play golf, and he comes back. I mean, it’s the craziest thing. Gets on an old carbon spewing 747. Now we have a brand new 747. Beautiful. Thank you.
But he gets in this old plane that’s spewing all sorts of crap in the air to shoot about a 130 for a round of golf because that’s about what he shoots. And then he comes back on the same plane, has a news conference to announce carbon tax. That’s another hoax, the carbon tax hoax.
And he voted to ban gasoline powered cars almost always wearing a mask while doing so. Ossoff voted to put DEI and critical race theory into elementary schools and pre-K. How about that? And even supports reparations, seizing your wealth and giving it to other people. He wants to take away your wealth. This is Ossoff. This is Ossoff.
And when they do it… Now he’s changed some of his policy because it’s so crazy. He’s as bad almost as Mohammed Abdul El-Sayed. I took a lot of heat for calling him Mohammed. And I said, “I don’t care. I’m the president of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want. I can call you whatever I want, Mohammed.”
And then today, a guy sends me something. His name is actually Abdullah Saptalala. It’s Abdullah papa papa. Mohammed, I’ll say it. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. Almost.
Oh, by the way, how about that guy? He’s a jihadist. He’s a radical left person, hates our country. He’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. How about putting him on the Senate Intelligence Committee? And there’s not a lot of intelligence there either.
And Jon Ossoff has spent more money on makeup. And by the way, I wear very little and I do it myself. Yeah. Because if you don’t put a little on, you look a little bit like a dead person, and I don’t want to look that way. But he goes full bore. He’s got the makeup artist. They’re in there all the time. I don’t know how he does it. But he spends a fortune. You saw that on makeup. He spends more money on makeup than any man or woman in the history of the Senate, and the women aren’t happy about it.
It’s time to fire Jon Ossoff and elect Mike Collins, one of the most respected men in Washington. Come on, Mike.
Mike Collins Addresses the Rally
MIKE COLLINS: Thank you, Mr. President. I want to do something real quick and let’s just tell you personally, personally, not just for me but from everybody in here, across the state and across this country. Sir, we appreciate your leadership, your backbone, your standing up for America, and putting America first. Sir, you are giving the next generation the opportunity to chase their version of the American dream. Thank you. Thank you.
Georgia? Georgia? I want you to know something too real quick. Listen, this race is sitting right here. It’s right here in front of us. Early voting’s already started. All we got to do is reach out and grab this. Grab it and hang on, and how do you do that? You go vote and you make sure you take people with you to go vote. You do that.
You do that and I promise you, you’ll get one more vote for that SAVE America Act so that we can secure our elections in this country. And one last thing I want to leave you with, you’re going to get a senator in the US Senate that’s going to have this man’s back. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you.
DONALD TRUMP: So he’s going to win, and he’s a winner. He’s got the whole package, and we need that vote. We need that vote. But this is not… I don’t think… Real people from Georgia, you have no alternative. You have somebody who’s a champion, a great man. He is going to be a great man. He already is. Respected by everybody so much, and you can’t let Ossoff get… It was a rigged deal. You can’t let it happen again.
Rick Jackson for Governor
DONALD TRUMP: So you also need to vote for another, a truly great patriot, a truly great man named Rick Jackson to be your next governor. Rick’s opponent, former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms… Oh. Destroyed Atlanta with her crime and filth and constant riots.
She’s the one… Look. I always viewed Atlanta as a great city. It’s not considered that anymore. She ruined Atlanta. It’s one of the most unsafe cities anywhere on the planet, anywhere, not just in this country. If that happened to the state, you’d be ranked number 50. And you can’t let it happen. She’s a disaster. She’s just got a mouthpiece. All she does is complain.
She’s an incompetent disaster who eliminated cash bail for vicious criminals, turned Atlanta into a deadly sanctuary city, and if she becomes governor, she will ruin your state. She will ruin this great state that I love so much and that I won by a lot. I won this state by a lot. And if my people get out to vote, these guys are going to have a landslide. They’re going to have a landslide.
So I’m going to ask Rick to come up for a second because the job he’s done is incredible. And he beat a great politician. He beat your lieutenant governor, who’s a great politician, and your lieutenant governor’s with him all the way. The job he’s done is unbelievable. He’s one of the best businessmen in America, and what he’ll do with cutting taxes and everything else, the whole country’s going to be watching. So I just want to introduce your future governor, Rick Jackson.
RICK JACKSON: I’m running to help vulnerable people. I call them the least of these. And there’s never been a president has done more for foster children that are abused and neglected than this man here. And on behalf of all foster children, I want to thank you, Mr. President, for caring about our vulnerable children. Thank you.
Recognizing Georgia Republican Candidates
DONALD TRUMP: So also with Rick, we have a man named Greg Dolezal for lieutenant governor, and I want to just introduce him. Greg, wherever you may be. Good luck. A good looking… Oh, he’s a good looking guy. You’re not allowed to say that about women or men anymore. It’s the end of your political career, but he is a good looking guy. So how are you? Good. Yes. Absolutely. Good luck. It’s going to be a great race. It’s going to be fantastic.
And honestly, I don’t even see… You have a woman who destroyed Atlanta. What’s she going to do here? She’s not going to be destroying Atlanta and make Georgia great. You have a guy that’s going to turn this place into the most incredible state in the country. I don’t even think it’s slow. Rick, you’re amazing.
Brian Strickland for attorney general. Brian? Brian? Great. A lot of young, smart guys. Good looking young people. I’m going to get the hell out of here. I don’t like it. And Tim Fleming… Where’s Tim Fleming? Is he here? Tim, good luck, Tim. I heard you’re doing great. Your poll numbers are good. All of their poll numbers are good.
So Georgia also is to get out and vote for Congressman Clay Fuller. He’s fantastic. Aren’t you the one that took over the seat of Marjorie Taylor Brown? You know why I call her that? Because green turns to brown under stress. Other people call her Marjorie Traitor Greene, but I like Marjorie Taylor Brown, green turns to brown, and then she turned to brown with her. She doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing. What a whack job. Aren’t you the guy? Yeah. You’re the guy. And that was easy. She was opposed to you, and you won in massive numbers. Congratulations. Proud of you.
Also, congressman, a real star worked for me for a long time, and he always wanted to be back in Georgia. He’s one of the best, Brian Jack. Thank you, Brian. One of the best. Austin Scott. Austin. Great. What a team. You got good people. Andrew Clyde. Clyde. Andrew. Rich McCormick.
And by the way, one of my favorites… Congratulations. What a career you’ve had, and you’re going to be back in some capacity. And you know I’m with you a thousand percent. A man that everybody loves in this state, a man that gave a very powerful candidate a hell of a hard time. We love you. Alright? We love you. Thank you. Buddy Carter, everybody. Buddy. Thank you, Buddy. He was tough. Right? You have to say. But he was tough. But he was fair, and he’s a good man.
We’re joined today by SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. Kelly, hi, Kelly. And a very special guy, Treasurer of the United States of America, Brandon Beach, and the Georgia GOP chair who presided over my big victory, I’m very happy, Josh McKoon. Josh, thank you. Great job. Thank you, Josh. Good job.
And chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, Ralph Reed. Ralph? He rang in my race. Less than two years ago, he and his group rang more than 10 million doorbells. Is that right? Over 10 million, actually. And they rang them. That’s a real number. That’s a lot of doorbells too. Thank you very much. Well, we won by so much. I don’t know if it made, but you really helped. I appreciate it. Thank you, Ralph. He’s been a friend of mine for a long time.
Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John King. John? Thank you, John.
Herschel Walker and Todd Gurley
DONALD TRUMP: And we have a man here. I love these athletes. I was okay at sports, but some of these guys are legendary. We had a man, he’s given me his total endorsement. I know that in Georgia, you’ve never heard of him, but Herschel Walker, you’ve never heard of him. Herschel. He was a better football player than candidate, but he wasn’t a bad candidate. I will tell you that. I think he actually did a lot better than people understand. It was a rigged election. The whole thing was rigged down here. We got to be careful. That’s the only risk we have, fellas.
But there’s a man in the crowd that I’ve been a fan of for a long time. He’s a handsome guy. We flew in the plane. He flew in Air Force One. Did you like Air Force One? Oh, now he’s spoiled. He wants one of them. Don’t do it. But he’s a legendary University of Georgia running back, and he’s an NFL superstar. His name is Todd Gurley, and everybody knows him.
And Todd… So I wanted to say a couple of words about him because he’s a fantastic guy. He’s respected by everybody. And he had almost 4,000 rushing yards in the NFL, 36 touchdowns, three seasons at the University of Georgia. He was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. That’s not bad.
I said to my people, “I know Todd, but give me the stats. How good was he?” Well, he was the NFL Rookie of the Year. He was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He led the NFL in rushing touchdowns and was the youngest player in NFL history to reach 50 career touchdowns. That means he is a good player. That’s pretty… I mean, I knew you were good. I didn’t know you. You are so… Come on up here for a second. Come on up there.
TODD GURLEY: Go Dawgs. Want to thank President Trump today for the experience being on Air Force One, welcoming him to the White House. Thank you so much. Thank you to the state of Georgia for everything y’all done to me, and go Dawgs.
DONALD TRUMP: I don’t want to tackle him. He looks good. He looks good. He could be in there right now. He looks good. That’s some group of records you have. Very few people can have those records. Those are special records.
We also have another giant of Georgia football, Keith Marshall. Keith? Where are you, Keith? Thank you, Keith. A great, great player also.
The MAGA Movement and CNN’s Polling
DONALD TRUMP: Everyone here today is part of the greatest movement in the history of our country and maybe the history of the world. And as you can see here today, it’s stronger and bigger and better, and it’s more powerful than ever before. MAGA, call it what you want. There’s never been anything like it in history.
When we can call for a little rally, I get these two guys plus some others into office, and these two guys should be easy. That should be no choice, but we want to get them in office. We want to get them in office fast. You’re going to see things happen with your state, including massive tax cuts because I was listening to Rick. And really backstage, I was listening to both of them. Big, big tax cuts.
But we’ve had some great fun. And CNN, of all people, did a chart, and then they did a second chart. And I thought I’d show it to you because it’s done by CNN. And, typically, they’re not big Trump fans. So do you want to put that up, please? Thank you.
VIDEO CLIP BEGINS:
HARRY ENTEN: Okay. MAGA GOP on Trump. In the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris, he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. Perhaps surprisingly, I might have thought it’d be a 100%, but it was 99. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It’s 98%. There’s been no real decline in MAGA support.
These folks say that they’re going to vote for congressional Republicans come the midterm elections. Again, that’s the 99% that Trump got against Kamala Harris. Look now. In terms of the congressional vote, 98% of them say they’re going to be voting for House Republican candidates. So that support is actually really holding up strong. It’s really, really strong when it comes to MAGA GOP and Republicans holding on to that…
Of this one. Okay. The president Republicans most admire. It’s Donald Trump. This is a historic comparison. A majority of Republicans say… 53% say he is the Republican president they most admire. Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has won that match. Donald Trump nearly triples up on this. Reagan at just 18%.
And then Abraham Lincoln, who by most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time. But Republicans say that the president that they most admire by what is this? This is six, seven times as many. Donald John Trump at 53%, easily crushing Abe Lincoln at 8%, and the Elon poll showed that he was the greatest president as well. I feel like this slide might end up putting a print out on his desk.
VIDEO CLIP ENDS:
DONALD TRUMP: Thank you very much. Thank you. Wow. CNN. Thank you, CNN. You’re right there. Thank you.
Closing: The Republican Agenda
DONALD TRUMP: So in conclusion, if you elect a Republican House and Republican Senate on November 3, you get $5,000. If we lose, you get absolutely nothing because the Democrat policies cannot get you there. They can’t even if they wanted to. Never. So if you lose, you get nothing.
We will make all Trump tax cuts permanent including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. We will win the war on corruption and fraud led by our great vice president doing a good job, JD Vance.
We will pass the No Invasion of Our Country Act prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to illegal immigrants again. We will pass a truly great health care plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies which own the Democrats. They own the Democrats. And we will give the money directly to you, the people, so you can buy a much better health care and have lots of money left over for yourself.
And we will end no cash bail, and we will pass the death penalty for large scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and anyone who kills a police officer or law enforcement official. And we will pass the SAVE America Act to defend our sacred American elections, which will include mandatory voter ID, proof of citizenship. And we will enshrine into permanent law no men in women’s sports, no transgender mutilation of your children, and many other great things.
So ladies and gentlemen of Georgia, the golden age of America is upon us. We’ve never had a time like this. Think of it. 21, and now the number’s close to 22. Trillion with a T, dollars being invested in our country. The record was ten years ago, 3 trillion by China. We’re at 22 trillion for just a short period of time. But you must get out and you must vote Republican.
We have never had anything like what’s happening in our country. The other day, they had a very prominent newscaster, a business person talking to one of the smartest people on Wall Street. And the person on Wall Street looked at him and said, “Do you have any idea what’s happening with our country with all the money that’s being spent? Do you have any idea what’s going on?”
Because we’re talking about the stock market and the potential for going up. This guy is one of the top guys in the world in this stuff. He looks at him and said, “Do you have any idea what’s going on?” They’ve never seen… Said, “I’ve been doing this for thirty five years.” He said, “I’ve never seen anything like it.”
So we’ve already made unbelievable progress, and now we will reach new levels of greatness. It is my honor to be your president at this unbelievably exciting time. Because together, we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And most importantly, and without question, we will make America great again.
Thank you, Georgia, and God bless you all. God bless you. Thank you.
