휘날리는 태극기

오늘 광화문에 나온 시민들은 모두 역사를 만든 주인공들이었다. 그들은 대한민국의 민주주의와 자유에  그들의 피와 땀을 보탰다.

"We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific to...pay their fair share of the cost." - Trump

나토나 중동, 태평양 등에 있는 우리의 파트너들이 그들의 정당한 몫을 지불하기를 기대하고 있다.

free trade에 관한 트럼프의 말

“The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, warned that the “abandonment of the protective policy by the American Government [will] produce want and ruin among our people,” he says.

 

Lincoln was right -- and it is time we heeded his words. I am not going to let America and its great companies and workers, be taken advantage of anymore.

 

I am going to bring back millions of jobs. Protecting our workers also means reforming our system of legal immigration. The current, outdated system depresses wages for our poorest workers, and puts great pressure on taxpayers

----------------------------------------------

Education is the civil rights issue of our time.

 

I am calling upon members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children. These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them.

Military and veterans:

“I am sending the Congress a budget that rebuilds the military, eliminates the Defense sequester, and calls for one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history,” says Trump.

 

“My budget will also increase funding for our veterans.

 

“Our veterans have delivered for this Nation –- and now we must deliver for them.”

"Draining the swamp"

We have begun to drain the swamp of government corruption by imposing a five year ban on lobbying by executive branch officials –- and a lifetime ban on becoming lobbyists for a foreign government.

--------------------------------

Since my election, Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint, Softbank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart, and many others, have announced that they will invest billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thousands of new American jobs.

The stock market has gained almost three trillion dollars in value since the election on November 8th, a record. We’ve saved taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars by bringing down the price of the fantastic new F-35 jet fighter, and will be saving billions more dollars on contracts all across our government.

We have placed a hiring freeze on non-military and non-essential federal workers.

his election as a "rebellion" against "mistakes of recent decades"...

Then, in 2016, the earth shifted beneath our feet. The rebellion started as a quiet protest, spoken by families of all colors and creeds -– families who just wanted a fair shot for their children, and a fair hearing for their concerns.

 

But then the quiet voices became a loud chorus -- as thousands of citizens now spoke out together, from cities small and large, all across our country.

 

Finally, the chorus became an earthquake – and the people turned out by the tens of millions, and they were all united by one very simple, but crucial demand, that America must put its own citizens first ... because only then, can we truly MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

TRUMP TO ASK CONGRESS FOR $1 TRILLION INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT

 

------------------------------------------

 

Bloomberg notes:

• Trump to outline what he’ll pitch as benefits of more stringent immigration enforcement - it will “save billions of dollars and make our community safer for everyone”
• Will pitch what he’ll call a “historic tax reform” plan in development; promising “massive tax relief for the middle class”
• Trump to say U.S. needs to learn lessons of the past on foreign policy and conflict; adding “only long-term solution for these humanitarian disasters is to create the conditions where displaced persons can safely return home and begin the long process of rebuilding”
• In possible nod to Russia, which he has said U.S. should have friendlier ties with: “America is willing to find new friends and to forge new partnerships were shared interests align”
• On Islamic State, to say will work with allies incl. in Muslim world to “extinguish” ISIS

Excerpt 1:

 

The time for small thinking is over.

 

The time for trivial fights is behind us.

 

We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts.

 

Excerpt 2:

 

Think of the marvels we can achieve if we simply set free the dreams of our people, cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope.

 

Excerpt 3:

 

My budget will also increase funding for our veterans.

 

Our veterans have delivered for this nation and now we must deliver for them.

 

The challenges we face as a nation are great, but our people are  even greater and none are greater or braver than those who fight  for America in uniform.
