US Presidency
2017

We know that American success is not a forgone conclusion. It must be earned and it must be won. Our rivals are tough, they're tenacious, and committed to the long term. But so are we. To succeed, we must integrate every dimension of our national strength, and we must compete with every instrument of our national power. Under the Trump administration, America is gaining wealth, leading to enhanced power, faster than anyone thought, with $ 6 trillion more in the stock market alone since the election, $ 6 trillion. With the strategy I am announcing today, we are declaring that America is in the game and America is going to win. Thank you. Our strategy advances four vital national interests. First, we must protect the American people, the homeland, and our great American way of life. This strategy recognizes that we can not secure our nation if we do not secure our borders. So for the first time ever, American strategy now includes a serious plan to defend our homeland.
