Statement on Trump White House Victory Against the Associated Press
“As we have said from the beginning, asking the President of the United States questions in the Oval Office and aboard Air Force One is a privilege granted to journalists, not a legal right. We stand by our decision to hold the Fake News accountable for their lies, and President Trump will continue to grant an unprecedented level of access to the press. This is the most transparent Administration in history.”
Monday Morning Wins: Historic U.S. Investment, Border Security
There’s nothing better than starting the week with a pair of major victories for the American people — all made possible by the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.
Apple’s $500 billion investment: Apple CEO Tim Cook announced today that the company will invest $500 billion in the United States over the next four years amid President Trump’s tariffs push. The historic venture, which comes following Cook’s meeting with President Trump last week, will result in 20,000 new U.S.-based jobs and was immediately hailed as a “landmark” step in bringing back U.S. manufacturing.
It’s another watershed moment in President Trump’s commitment to usher in the new Golden Age of America. In just over a month, President Trump has announced a $500 billion private sector investment for the largest artificial intelligence infrastructure project in history, a commitment by Saudi Arabia to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, a $20 billion investment by DAMAC Properties to build new U.S.-based data centers, a pledgeby Taiwan to boost U.S.-based investment, and a major investment by Nippon Steel. Mercedes-Benz also announced plans to “grow” its vehicle production in the U.S.
Illegal immigrants turn around: New reporting says would-be illegal border crossers have “given up” and are returning to their own countries — citing the Trump Administration’s unprecedented crackdown on illegal immigration, including the shutdown of the “CBP One” app, as the driving factor.
It’s a victory for national security after four years of open borders. In President Trump’s first month back in office, illegal border crossings hit lows not seen in decades — down 94% over last year, while interior arrests are up 134%.
Promises made, promises kept.
