President Donald Trump delivered remarks at a White House July 4th event before signing the “Big, Beautiful Bill” into law. “We have so many people in the audience that have so much to do with the success of our country,” Trump said. “We’ve, I think, had probably the most successful almost six months as a President. And the presidency, I think they’re saying it was the best six months. And I know, for a fact, they’re saying the last two weeks, there has never been anything like it as far as winning, winning, winning.”

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, thank you very much. And that is some sight, especially after what happened just a week ago, when you look at that big, beautiful plane, and the other ones were something. It was an incredible mission. And I think I can say very proudly, and I don’t have to quote the polls, that our country is more proud right now than it’s been in many, many years. We have pride. We have dignity. We have something that’s happened miraculously so fast. You know that our military now is the most sought-after job there has ever been, being – serving in our military. One year ago, people didn’t want to join our military. They didn’t want to join our police or our firefighters. They didn’t want to join anything having to do with our country. And now, as you probably know, the enlistment is at an all-time record. We’re packed. We’re full. And I just think that’s so important because that was so sad one year ago when I heard those statistics. We had a different President, but nobody wanted to join. And now we’re at a record. And I will say that I just left NATO, where we had a tremendous experience. They’ve agreed to put up over a trillion dollars a year. They went from less than 2 percent to 5 percent, and nobody thought that was possible. And they told me very strongly – the leaders of a big part of the world, very respected people all – they told me that, you know, one year ago, your country was dead, and now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. So that’s the way it is, and that’s the way we like it. And it’s only going to get hotter. I promise you that. After that spectacular display of American power – let me just say that God bless the United States military, and God bless the USA. God bless the USA. And to all Americans, I want to wish you a very happy Independence Day, happy Fourth of July. This is going to be something special. This spirit in this country – we haven’t seen anything like it in many, many years and decades. Let me also express our gratitude to our magnificent First Lady. She worked very hard to make this all work. And we have a fireworks display about 9 o’clock tonight. I hope you’re all going to be around and watch it. I know our congressmen and our senators who are standing right here – so many of them. They did such a great job. They’re going to be here. I guarantee you, they’re not leaving. They’re not leaving. Thanks as well to the National Park Service, the USO, and countless friends and distinguished guests. We have so many people in the audience that have so much to do with the success of our country. We’ve, I think, had probably the most successful almost six months as a President. And the presidency, I think they’re saying it was the best six months. And I know, for a fact, they’re saying the last two weeks, there has never been anything like it as far as winning, winning, winning.
