But I'm thrilled to be back in this incredible Commonwealth with thousands of proud hardworking American patriots that like to begin By asking a question. Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

By the time I came into office, after our victory in 2016, the Michigan auto industry was on its knees begging for help, gasping. And really it was at the last breaths of life. And I had to move quickly. You're going to not have any auto industry here. You were, it was going, it was all gone. It was just about over, they were going to move so fast and I let countries that were stealing our businesses know you do that. I'm going to do things to you. You're not going to believe, I'm going to put tariffs. They laid off a lot. They could have taken it. We were at a very vulnerable point. I let certain countries know that if you do that, I'm going to put tariffs on you and you're going to, you're going to get your asses kicked, I'm telling you. And they laid off, they really laid off, but they laid off what? We had not very much left. So just as I promised, I withdrew from the job killing Trans Pacific partnership in my very first week and the reason I did is that that would have absolutely destroyed your auto industry. You would have had none left. It would have been, it was a disaster. And if you remember, Hillary Clinton wanted it and Obama wanted it. And then after she read the facts, when I did it, she came out against it because she said, you know, he's right. She was totally in favor of it. But when she said she came out actually and agreed with me and she said, uh, I'm also against it, but I was there sort of like no tax on tips. And then two months later, Kamala came out, no tax on tips. And it didn't, it didn't play well for her. It didn't play well for Hillary either, obviously. I ended the disaster known as NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made by our country and replaced it with the brand new USMCA, Bob Lighthizer and his team did a great job, the best trade deal they say ever made. I actually think maybe our deal with China, but I don't talk about that deal very much because of COVID, but we have a deal with China where they buy $50 billion worth of our product. That was a great deal. We had made a lot of good ones, but with the USMCA that's Mexico and Canada, we have massive incentives to make cars in the United States of America.

>> Number one, this is history. We have our 2024 election, I work with President Trump. Do you have a quick message for our good friend and on our brother? >> Yes, we've been reelected and we must reelect him to save ourselves. Vote for Trump, vote for yourself, cuz we got to fight the system of lies and creation of wrong being right and right being wrong, that's not to be eliminated. I mean, and the only man who has the intestinal core to be able to stand up and fight the system like it should be for, but he underestimated the power of this will give strong system of corruption and hypocrisy, you know what I mean? And lies, you know what I mean? And showing weakness where the strength should be deployed. And so I wanna say, that's America, let's save ourselves. And then we can help others to be safe.

-Under Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of the United States of America, the price of food has surged nearly 39%. When you go to the grocery store, you're spending $150, $200, even $250 or more, and you can't even believe how little food you're getting or buying, comparing it to three years ago when I was president. The cost of basics like eggs and chicken and steak is way up, and it's getting worse and worse with each passing day and month. Every time you go to the grocery store and pay these brutal prices, just remember, this is Crooked Joe Biden's inflation, and there's never been an inflation like it. It's the worst in 72 years, but I think it's much longer than that. Under my leadership, we had no inflation. It was virtually zero. Then Crooked Joe came along, and you had inflation at the highest level in 52 years. Joe Biden and the radical left Democrats printed trillions and trillions of dollars and wasted under the Green News scam, and that's what it is. It's the Green News scam. It's a disaster. And taxpayer-funded benefits for hordes of illegal aliens. We're paying so much for illegal aliens, but we're not taking care of our soldiers, our veterans. We're not taking care of our people, and that includes the elderly. Now you are paying the price in your grocery bill for all of Joe Biden's waste and plunder. We've never had anything like this. He's the worst president in the history of our country, and he's not taking care of our people. He probably doesn't know that because I'm not sure he knows anything, but he's not taking care of our people. He looted the Treasury to enrich his political allies, and now you have to pinch pennies in your own shopping cart to cover the cost, and you look at it on a weekly basis. How much more it is. It just keeps going up and up. It's a disgrace, but I will fix it, and I will fix it fast. I will end Joe Biden's inflation nightmare once and for all, and we will quickly rebuild the greatest economy in the history of the world. We will drill, baby, drill. We will get energy prices down to a level that we haven't seen in four years, and then everything else will follow. You're going to be very happy again. You're going to be very rich again, and that's the way we want it to be. Thank you very much.

Everything at the grocery store is essentially 20 percent more expensive because inflation is cumulative, right? It takes place over time. People are feeling it every time at the grocery store. Energy costs are about 30 percent higher. What does that mean in real time? It's going up and up. It's much higher over the last three or four weeks. Yeah, real wages are down by five percent. They were up ten percent under President Trump. That's a big spread. What does that mean? That's about a thousand dollars a month taken out of people's pockets. So what's Joe Biden's solution? Think about this. To spend more money we don't have, declare war on domestic energy production, reducing supply, and then also having nine million people here illegally, which of course drives down wages for American workers. So his answer to the problem he created is going to make things worse, which I think is going to make people nostalgic for the Trump era, which is going to come back.

President Trump, good to be with you tonight here in Rochester at the Opera House in New Hampshire. Obviously, very big news today. Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race. What's your reaction? Well, look, he worked very hard. It's a tough go. And he worked hard. His wife is a terrific woman. They both work very hard. And he endorsed me in dropping out. He endorsed me. So I appreciate that very much. And I think we'll do very well. I think we were headed to a very big victory on Tuesday, just like in Iowa. And I think maybe now it even gets to be bigger because most of those people are going to go with me, I suspect. So he was supposed to come here to New Hampshire tonight, but he stayed in Florida. Did you speak with him? No, I didn't. I didn't. Somebody wanted to have a call, but I wasn't able to because, you know, I'm doing you. And then I go and make a big speech or a lot of people waiting right now. But he, you know, look, he fought a very good, he fought very hard. It's a very tough thing to do. Well, you guys traded a lot of tough words during the course of the campaign. You called him to sanctimonious. And then in the statement tonight, he brought up covid and your elevation of Fauci. Did you see his statement as embracing and really endorsing in a full-throated way? Look, it's very hard for him. He's going out and it's not like you feel wonderful when you do it. So he said, I think we did a fantastic job on covid. Nobody knew. You know, I've been given tremendous credit for the economy, for the military, for foreign policy. The one thing I've never been given credit for was the job we did in covid. We did a fantastic job with all of the all of the medicines. And if you look at Regeneron, all of the things that we did, we did a fantastic job, have never been given the credit for that. And basically, I allowed the governors to do their states and people like Henry McMaster, who was here yesterday, who, by the way, endorsed me. He's the governor of South Carolina. Almost every politician in South Carolina endorsed me, which is a little bit tough for Nikki. But when you go and you do a job like that, I relied very little on Fauci. By comparison, Fauci became much more important for Joe Biden. He liked Fauci. But he was there for like 40 years. And he was out there every day in all of the news. But if you listen to Fauci, I mean, many of the things that Fauci recommended, as you know, you know, he wanted to keep it open to China. And I said, no way, we're not going to keep it open. We he actually admitted after that, that I saved hundreds of thousands of lives. I closed it immediately to China. And everybody said, what are you doing? There was a room of 11 people. He was one of them. And they all said, no, and now they give me credit for having closed it. It would have been far worse. So no, but when Ron goes out, I thought he was actually pretty gracious, to be honest, because I think the fact that he endorsed was a big factor. But if you think about it, he wants low taxes. And I gave the largest tax decrease or cut in the history of our country bigger than Ronald Reagan. Would you do larger cuts, corporate? Yeah, I was planning on doing it. In fact, had the result been different, the result was just fine, by the way. You'll probably cut that out. But that's okay. But the more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country. But had had I been president at the time, we would have had a lower debt we were going to pay off. We were going to drill baby drill, you know, we were going to drill and get our inflation down. The inflation has been killing our country. No matter what you're making, the inflation just wiped it out and just ate it up. And we were going to do some phenomenal things for the country. And then, you know, the result of the election was not did not make a lot of people very happy, frankly. Let me ask you about Ron DeSantis. You said you didn't speak. Did he reach out to you? And I'd rather not comment would maybe ask Ron that question. But I'd rather not comment. But he was very nice. Look, he left. It's a very hard thing to do. He left. Somebody said, what are you going to do with the name to sanctimonious? I said that name is officially retired as of this moment. We are retiring that name. So would you can you see him potentially in your administration? I mean, how much do you think you could work together after the race? It's so raw right now when you ask me that question. I heard about this two hours ago. So this is just something that just took place as I was coming here. And we have a tremendous audience outside. So I haven't thought in terms of that. But look, I got along with him very well until this happened. And he ran against me. I got him elected. I actually got him elected. That was not even a question. And he ran. So I was insulted by that. I didn't think it was appropriate. And now I guess it doesn't matter to me much anymore. So Nikki Haley says now she has the two person race that she's always wanted. She has been coming after you strongly in the past few days. It's worked both ways. And you've come after her as well. She she keeps bringing up your age lately. What do you say about that? Well, I think I'm a lot sharper than her. I would do this. I would sit down right now and take an aptitude test and it would be my result against her result. And she's not going to win. Not going to even come close to winning. In fact, when I heard the word cognitive, you know, I've taken two of them now. I took one with Doc Ronnie, who's now a fantastic, you know, White House doctor and a fantastic congressman from Texas, Admiral, the White House doctor, Jackson, Ronnie Jackson. And he's now a great congressman from Texas. I took one then and I took one recently. I think the result was announced and it was I aced it twice. I aced it. But I would say that, you know, I've actually called for a cognitive test for anybody running for president because I actually think that's a good idea. It'd be nice to have an intelligent person be president. But Kelly has two, I believe. So how do you see the race between the two of you? And in the coming days, as this close, you know what the number is. She's getting killed. She's she's being destroyed in that race. And when she when we get to South Carolina, I'm up 40 or 50 points on her. I saw a poll today that 51 point I'm up 51 points and she was governor. You saw last night, we had a tremendous crowd. We had a record setting crowd last night. And almost the entire delegation of politicians, the governor, the lieutenant, everybody, all people that worked with her, they were there endorsing me. And the entire state has practically endorsed me. But we're way up. We're up anywhere from 40 to 50 points in South Carolina. We're up in Nevada. Don't forget we go to Nevada. Nobody mentions this. We go to Nevada before we go to South Carolina. And in going to Nevada, I have 100 percent of the vote because they looked at the polls both run to they looked at the polls and they withdrew. You know, it's a caucus state. Right. And they look on a ballot and you're on a caucus. It's very confusing. No, no, no, no, no. It's the delegates. Yeah, there's no reason to be on a ballot because you don't get any delegates. That's just a sham. No, it's a caucus state. And I'm the only one in the game. So we get 100 percent. And that's, you know, relatively big state. And nobody mentions that. But when we go to South Carolina, we're very strong in South Carolina. So in terms of Nikki Haley and the future and what happens, there's always this discussion about potentially a third candidate, a no labels candidate. Chris Christie's name has been mentioned. Nikki Haley's name has been mentioned. I'm not sure if she would be eligible with the sore loser laws. But what do you think about that? What would your message be to candidates who might consider doing that? Well, they usually they pick candidates that failed in other parties. I mean, look, you have two parties. It really is a two party system. It was designed for that. And usually when you see no labels or you see third party candidates, the one that had an impact was Ross Perot, I would say more so than anybody even close. But generally speaking, it's people that have been losers in their own party. And that's what they do. Some of these third parties, many of them helped me a lot. The Democrats are not happy with it. I like a two party system.

I believe that the people want someone back in office who will put America first and with the policies that President Trump had. We didn't have all the inflation that we have today about gas prices, our homes, our rent, and everything we associate with us on our living expenses is costless going up and it continues to go up and President Trump will be our nominee and I think he can get this count your back on the right track.

Trump is well ahead, more than two to one. Donald Trump here in our NBC News Des Moines Register poll still an overwhelming advantage, far more than two to one. Donald Trump 58%, Ron DeSantis 17%. Hello Manchester, and I am thrilled to be in the great state of New Hampshire. News numbers from Real Clear Politics showing Mr. Trump with 45% of the vote. That's more than triple that of his next closest competitor. It's a very distant second, 49% for Donald Trump, just nine for Chris Christie. In South Carolina, former President Trump has a sizable lead in our polling in both states. The former president Donald Trump has a commanding lead among South Carolina voters in the race to become the Republican Presidential nominee. We need our independence back to be honest with you. Former President Trump's support appears to be growing, which is Trump has 61% support among the world. Former President Trump is beating President Biden in a head-to-head matchup by two points, up by 10 points over the current president Joe Biden. So that's a sizable poll that 71% of people mentioned President Biden's age is a concern. Donald Trump is now President-elect Trump. This means that Donald Trump will be President of the United States. Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.

Under crooked Joe Biden, the U.S. government has spent nearly $1 billion to house illegal aliens and foreign migrants in expensive luxury hotels courtesy of you, the American taxpayer, and they want to spend billions and billions more. In many states, we're running out of hotel space because the rooms are all booked up with illegal aliens living in a very large way on the American taxpayers' dime. Meanwhile, we have 33,000 veterans in this country who are homeless and living very poorly, I might add, and it's a shame. They're living in filth and squalor on our streets. Nobody is doing a thing for them. We helped them a lot during my four years, and it's all been dropped. Everything we did for our veterans has been dropped. It's a disgrace. Joe Biden puts illegal aliens before homeless veterans, and we cannot let this happen any longer. The American veteran is one of our greats. These are great, great people. We have to take care of them. When I am reelected, this national scandal will end. On day one, I will sign an executive order to cut off Joe Biden's massive spigot of funding for shelter and transport of illegal aliens and redirect a portion of those savings, a very large portion, I might add, to provide shelter and treatment for homeless American veterans. I will make it a personal mission to totally eradicate veterans' homelessness in America by the end of next term. You'll see a big difference, just like you did at the VA, just like you did with, frankly, everything we touched. The border was the best border we've ever had. We were energy independent. We were soon going to be energy dominant. Our country was doing great. We had no inflation. We had the best economy in history. We're going to take care of our veterans. If you have served this nation in uniform, the Trump administration will never betray you as Joe Biden and the radical left Democrats have done. They have truly betrayed you. Anybody voting for a Democrat is very foolish, very, very foolish. We certainly will not be putting illegal alien lawbreakers up in ultimate luxury while American veterans lay shivering on the sidewalks below. Unlike Biden, our loyalty will not be to illegal aliens who have violated our borders and come into our country illegally. They've trampled our sovereignty. It will be to the brave men and women who enlisted their lives to defend our borders and to protect our sovereignty. Thank you very much. We're going to take care of our veterans.

We created the strongest border in U.S. history, you know that, right? Built nearly 500 miles. We got Mexico to give us free of charge, 28,000. So, you know, when these characters say, "Oh, Mexico." When I say, "Mexico will pay for the wall," they did. Much more so than the wall. They gave us 28,000 soldiers for free. That's why we had the safest border in the history of our country. We had 28,000 soldiers while I was building the wall. Then we were adding that other 200 miles. We would have done it. We would have had that done within three weeks. All we had to do was install the panels. They were all built. Those are the ones you see sitting all over the ground. It's horrible. When I look at that, when I look at all of those things that we did, and then I just see the destruction that this -- there's never been a president in the history of our country that's done a job so poorly, that's been so incompetent, so corrupt. There's never been anything like it. And I say, oftentimes, I'll say, you'll hear me say, "You could take the five worst presidents in the history of our country, and they will have not -- you can add them up, and they will not have done the damage that Crooked Joe Biden has done." And I mean that 100 percent. And now I could add it. I think I could probably say, "Take the 10 worst presidents." He's a horrible president.

-Hello to one of the most powerful and fastest-growing grassroots movements in America, Moms for Liberty. I had a fantastic time joining you at your national conference in Philadelphia this summer, and I look forward to fighting side by side with you in the battles ahead. Together, we're on a mission to take back our schools from the Marxists and communists and the radical left maniacs who are hell-bent on indoctrinating our children. I am proud that I have put forward, by far, the most ambitious and visionary education agenda of any president or presidential candidate in modern history. We want great schools that lead to great jobs and, ultimately, to great lives. To that end, we will move education back to the states. We're closing it up in Washington and return everything back to the parents. It will be parental control. Finally, parental control. On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children. I will eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the entire federal government, and I will direct the DOJ to pursue civil rights claims against any school or university that engages in racism rather than making decisions based on merit we just won that in the U.S. Supreme Court. I will strongly support universal school choice as a right for every parent and child using my authorities under Title IX. I will keep men out of women's sports. How easy is that? And I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states. Can you imagine -- you have to put that down as a platform -- that you are going to stop child sexual mutilation? Who would think you would ever have to say a thing like that? Five years ago, 10 years ago? I will fire the rogue bureaucrats who have weaponized the justice system, starting with every corrupt official who has targeted moms for liberty. We will restore school discipline so that our classrooms are once again safe places for our children to learn. And I'm also going to take aggressive action to reclaim our system of higher education. It's a system right now of the Marxist left, and we're not going to have it any longer. When I'm your president, these communists, fascists, and others will no longer be allowed to rule the lives of our children, no longer be allowed to take away the authority of loving parents. Thank you very much. You do a fantastic job. We love you, and we're with you. God bless America.
