Trump Defends His Record

President Donald Trump used a prime-time speech to highlight his achievements over the past year. He repeated a familiar theme, saying tariff is his favorite word. The contrast was made between Trump’s presidency and the Biden White House. “We had the worst trade deals ever made and our country was laughed at from all over the world, but they’re not laughing anymore,” touted Trump. “Over the past 11 months, we have brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in American history. There has never been anything like it.” The affordability theme was also heard in Trump’s speech. “Democrat policies also sent the price of groceries soaring and we’re solving that, too.”
