Life's Tough Choices
00:04:44
|
|
| I hear a lot from young people about their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. | |
| You see, young people are idealists. | |
| They respond to vision. | |
| For the past four years, they've seen the vision of the Biden-Harris regime. | |
| That vision is, you'll own nothing and be happy. | |
| The Democrats say, instead of owning a home, you'll rent a 400-square-foot studio apartment. | |
| Instead of owning a car, you'll rent a scooter using some app. | |
| Their vision is this. | |
| Limit your dreams. | |
| Give up. | |
| Aim lower. | |
| Be content with less. | |
| If you're a 20-something in America, life has been really tough. | |
| You've watched home prices rise 47% since 2020. | |
| 47%! | |
| Home ownership is now out of reach unless you make over $106,000 a year. | |
| Since I last spoke at the Republican convention four years ago, I've become a husband and father. | |
| In fact, we have two under two. | |
| I think I get extra points for that. | |
| For millions of people my age, that is a dream that feels farther away than ever under the Biden-Harris administration. | |
| According to current projections, one-third of today's young Americans will never get married. | |
| The average American is having fewer children than ever before. | |
| Why? | |
| It's because, for far too many, they simply can't afford them. | |
| The basic things our parents enjoyed are increasingly out of reach for Gen Z and Millennials. | |
| You see, the American Dream has become a luxury item for the wealthy elite. | |
| Happy countries have children. | |
| Broken countries have addiction, depression, and suffering. | |
| Democrats have given hundreds of billions of dollars to illegals and foreign nations, while Gen Z has to pinch pennies just so that they can never own a home, never marry, and work until they die, childless. | |
| Under Biden, our young people own nothing and they are miserable. | |
| Donald Trump refuses to accept this fake, pathetic, mutilated version of the American dream. | |
| When he was president, young people were richer than ever before, and he will do it again. | |
| Donald Trump is on a rescue mission to revive your birthright, one your grandparents and those before them gave everything to hand down to you. | |
| And listen carefully, everybody. | |
| This is why young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years. | |
| To all the Gen Zers watching this convention on TikTok right now, I have a message just | |
| for you. | |
| You You don't have to stay poor. | |
| You don't have to accept being worse off than your parents. | |
| You don't have to feel aimless and unhappy. | |
| You don't have to support leaders who lied to you and took advantage of you for your vote. | |
| America's future is a series of choices. | |
| Our current state of slow-motion national decline is a choice. | |
| This November, we're going to choose success. | |
| We're going to choose to put the future of Americans first. | |
| We are going to choose to no longer be spectators this election. | |
| We together are going to do the work to save America. | |
| We are going to choose to work harder than ever before, to chase ballots, to vote early, to register new voters. | |
| And all of us together, working harder than ever, we will fire the Biden-Harris regime and put Donald Trump back in the White House, where he belongs. | |
| God bless you guys. | |
| Thank you so much. | |
