Video transcript From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to LA, where there’s pride in every American heart, and it’s time we stand and say that I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that life to me. And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, because there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.” on October 3, 2026 at 7:17 AM ET.

President Trump is the author of Trump: The Art of the Deal, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life, and Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
