Video transcript President Trump has been in office in his second term for a year and a half and has solved problems that plagued this nation for decades, generations, or even longer. He’s completely rebalanced our trading relationship with Canada. He has protected American manufacturing and essential supply chains from China. He has completely rebalanced NATO and ensured that other nations pay their fair share. He is now pursuing peace in the Korean Peninsula. President Trump has single-handedly toppled the Maduro regime and secured the greatest boom for America’s energy and supply chains probably in the history of our country. He’s taken the fight to the drug cartels, declared them a foreign terrorist organization, used military power to fight these enemies. He’s stopped the Islamic theocracy of Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. And now at home, he’s unleashed American energy. He’s building pipelines. He’s bringing the price of gas down from the heinous highs of the Biden administration. He’s taken inflation from the highest level in American history down to 2%, the largest tax cut in American history, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime, the largest reduction in murder since 1900, the lowest violent crime rates that have ever been recorded, and he took the most unsecured, dangerous, violent, hellish border in the history of our republic and 15 straight months of zero releases.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. 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."
