Fifteen Laudable Statements By Our President

We wish our president the best as he works at
fulfilling his promises to the American people.

The following are gleaned from campaign speeches, news interviews, Twitter messages etc.:

"As America regains its strength, opportunity must be extended to all citizens. That is why this year we will embark on reforming our prisons, to help former inmates who have served their time get a second chance at life." (2018 State of the Union Address)

"We’ve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt. ... I would say over a period of eight years," by "vigorously eliminating waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, ending redundant government programs and growing the economy to increase tax revenues.” "It can be done. ... It will take place and it will go relatively quickly.  ... If you have the right people, like, in the agencies and the various people that do the balancing ... you can cut the numbers... and balance a budget quickly and have a stronger and better country.”

"I have great respect for women. I do cherish women, and I will take care of women."

I will "fix the background check system" (used when purchasing guns to ensure states are properly uploading criminal and health records).

I will provide "more funding for drug treatment, especially for heroin addicts".

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done. I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off. You don’t have time to take time off.” 

"Our goal is to keep the promises made to Americans through our Social Security program.”

"The Trump Administration seeks to invest $550 billion to ensure we can export our goods and move our people faster and safer.” (only $200 billion is in the new blueprint for infrastructure)

“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.” 

"We are going to ask every department head and government to provide a list of wasteful spending projects that we can eliminate in my first 100 days.”

“My plan will also ensure funding for historic black colleges and universities, more affordable two- and four-year college and support for trade and vocational education.”

“We can provide six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.” 

“First, I'm going to reinstitute a five-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for five years after they leave government. I'm going to ask Congress to pass this ban into law so that it cannot be lifted by executive order. Second, I'm going to ask Congress to institute its own five-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.”

“We’re going to have insurance for everybody, There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.” 

“I am going to take care of everybody … Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.” "Despite what you hear in the press, healthcare is coming along great. We are talking to many groups and it will end in a beautiful picture!"

"I promise to uphold the rule of law by aggressively enforcing existing federal laws to prevent the sexual exploitation of children on line including the federal obscenity laws, child pornography laws...and the sex trafficking laws..."
