Over the past year, we’ve already achieved a historic turnaround for our country with unprecedented speed. We solved intractable problems. We really have done something. It’s been an incredible first year for all of us. We’ve transformed stagnation into growth, weakness into strength, and chaos into order, liberty, and justice… Today, our border is secure. Murders are at a 125-year low… Core inflation is the lowest in five years and going down. Prices are going down really rapidly. We inherited a mess, and we brought them down a lot, and we’re going to go still further. And our military is more powerful than ever before.
The president invited Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to say grace at the end of his remarks.
Hegseth prayed for the president, the vice president, the first and second ladies, cabinet members, governors, civil magistrates, and servicemembers.
The president said “some very special reporters” were on hand, and invited them to return later in the evening to watch violinist Rusanda Panfili perform for the governors.
