You can take the five worst presidents in American history and put them together and they would not have done the damage that Joe Biden and his administration has done in just a very short 13 months.

And no matter how you look at it, our country has totally lost its self confidence, lost its self confidence. We as a country have no confidence anymore. But we will get it back, and we'll get it back stronger than ever before.

Whoever heard of that? Whoever heard of that? Our country has lost its self confidence. Whoever heard of that? Whoever thought you'd be hearing—. But it's true. We've lost our self confidence. When you see the way we withdrew. When you see the things that, the stupidity, the open border concept. Who wants this? Prisons from other countries being emptied out into our country.

Just over one year ago, we had the most secure border in U.S. history, record low gas prices, American energy independence, the fastest economic recovery in the history of our country, fastest economic recovery in history. An unrivaled military. We rebuilt the military and we added Space Force on top of it. And peace and quiet was all around the world.

Now inflation is the highest in 40 years. Economists are talking about 5, 6, 7 and even $8 a gallon gasoline. Supply chains are crumbling. Store shelves are empty. Millions of illegal aliens are rushing our borders. Murders are setting records in our cities. The streets of our Democrat-run cities are drenched in blood.
