| Democracy is always an unfinished creation. | ||
| Democracy is worth dying for. | ||
| Democracy belongs to us all. | ||
| We are here in the sanctuary of democracy. | ||
| Great responsibilities fall once again to the great democracies. | ||
| American democracy is bigger than any one person. | ||
| Freedom and democracy must be constantly guarded and protected. | ||

We are still at our core a democracy. | |

Earlier today, President Trump spoke briefly to reporters outside the White House as he returned from looking at spots on the White House North Lawn for a new flagpole. | |
| He also talked about trade negotiations with China. | ||
| They all want to be involved with America. | ||
| Be careful, folks. | ||
| They all want to be involved with America, and we have a lot of action going on. | ||
| We're making a lot of money this country. | ||
| This country is not going to be losing money on trade anymore. | ||
| We were losing $2 trillion a year on trade. | ||
| Now we're going to be making money, a lot of money. | ||
| So that's very good. | ||
| Every country wants to partake, even countries that have ripped us off for many, many years. | ||
| China is an example. | ||
| But it's not just China. | ||
| European Union, they ripped us off for many, many years, and those days are over. | ||
| We're going to make a lot of money for our people. | ||
| We'll be able to lower taxes substantially. | ||
| And we're going to be proud of ourselves. | ||
| They're not going to be a laughing stock that got taken advantage of by virtually every country in the world. | ||

We thought you said you were going up to launch for a flag. | |
| What was going on on that? | ||
| We're putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag on this side and another one on the other side. | ||
| Two flags, top of the line. | ||
| And they've needed flagpoles for 200 years. | ||
| It was something I've often said, you know, they don't have a flagpole per se. | ||
| So we're putting one right where you saw us, and we're putting another one on the other side on top of the mounds. | ||
| It's going to be two beautiful polls. | ||
| Paid for by Trump. | ||
|

|
When are the flags going to be a trip? | |
| They arrive in about a week or so. | ||
|

|
Can you clarify, Mr. President, on China? | |
| Yeah, we are going to have a fair deal with China. | ||
| It's going to be fair. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you talking to them actively now? | |
| Actively. | ||
| Everything's active. | ||
| Everybody wants to be a part of what we're doing. | ||
| They know that they can't get away with it any longer, but they're still going to do fine. | ||
| And we're going to have a country that you can be proud of, not a laughing stock all over the world for many years. | ||
| You know, in 1913, they traded to the income tax system. | ||
| We used to be all tariff, and we had no income tax, and we had the wealthiest country we've ever had proportionately from about 1870 to 1913. | ||
| It was all tariffs, and we did, we had more money than anybody. | ||
| They had committees, how to spend the money. | ||
| They had so much money they didn't know how to spend. | ||
| Then some brilliant person said, let's go income tax. | ||
| Let's let the people pay. | ||
| Now, we're going to be able to substantially lower taxes when this is finished. | ||
|

|
So, Mr. Service, how does it look in the meantime? | |
| It looks good, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it looks good. | |
| It looks good. | ||
| We were losing anywhere from three to five billion dollars a day. | ||
| Think of it. | ||
| We're losing billions of dollars a day under Biden and other presidents, frankly. | ||
| But under Biden, it got really worse. | ||
| China got out of control. | ||
| We're losing a trillion dollars a year. | ||
|

Trillion, not a billion, not a million, a trillion. |
