A news photograph showing the Andrew Jackson equestrian statue in Lafayette Square, Washington D.C., with the White House visible in the background. The statue's stone pedestal is covered in spray-painted graffiti (yellow paint markings, a black "K" and other partially legible marks/symbols). Three uniformed U.S. Park Police officers wearing riot helmets with face shields stand at the base of the statue; one holds a pole/rope that extends up toward the statue's rider figure, and the officer in the foreground has "US PARK POLICE" printed on the back of his tactical vest. On the ground in the foreground lies a toppled or dismantled metal artillery/cannon-like structure, along with scattered debris, water bottles, and cardboard. In the left background, a decorative cannon sits near a fenced perimeter lined with protest signs and a crowd of people, some wearing light blue helmets. The sky is overcast.

A digitally altered image of a California license plate (registration tag "2026", code "CA 175") with a lake and snow-capped mountain scenery in the background, styled after the state's Lake Tahoe plate design. The plate reads "NEW-SCM" in large blue letters. Superimposed over the center of the plate is a painted portrait of a gaunt, disheveled man with disheveled dark hair, pale skin, sunken/bloodshot eyes, and numerous scabs, sores, or wounds on his face and neck; he wears a dirty, blood-spotted collared shirt and tie. In the lower left corner, in place of the plate's usual bear graphic, is an emaciated, mangy grizzly bear with sores/dollar-sign brands or wounds on its body, standing over a small dark humanoid silhouette in the grass. Wilted, dying yellow and orange flowers flank the bottom corners in place of the plate's normal healthy flowers. Below the portrait, in elegant cursive script, is the caption "The Once Golden State."

Screenshot of a scrolling feed of X (Twitter)-style posts from several verified accounts, all voicing support for building a new White House ballroom. Each entry shows a profile picture, display name, blue checkmark, handle, a "Follow" button, and a post below it. The accounts shown, in order, are: Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles), Lauren Chen (@TheLaurenChen), Mike Engleman (@RealHickory, with a US flag emoji in the name), Juanita Broaddrick (@atensnut), Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte), MAGA Kitty (@SaveUSAKitty), and MOMof DataRepublican (@data_republican).

Text in image: Michael Knowles ✓ @michaeljknowles I'm sure the Washington Hilton is a fine hotel. But after two presidents were almost murdered there, perhaps it's time to start hosting these shindigs at a Marriott—or better yet, a secure ballroom on the grounds of the White House! Lauren Chen ✓ @TheLaurenChen I find it weird that almost all of the people complaining about the new ballroom being "wasteful" had nothing to say about the $7 trillion the government spent last year. Mike Engleman🇺🇸 ✓ @RealHickory Tell the judge to go to hell and finish the ballroom. Juanita Broaddrick ✓ @atensnut It most certainly is !! BUILD THE BALLROOM. Brigitte Gabriel ✓ @ACTBrigitte The ballroom is the perfect thing for America right now! MAGA Kitty ✓ @SaveUSAKitty Ballroom time! 👍👍🇺🇸👎 MOMof DataRepublican ✓ @data_republican After last night the left totally lost the argument against building a ballroom at the White House.

I think the call was absolutely great. Look, this has been really quite amazing to me. I was on a Fox program about two months ago, and somebody asked me the question, where would you like to be in the Ukrainian-Russia war, ceasefire, I said within the first 100 days. We're at day 58, and you've got President Trump already talking to Putin and Zelensky as well. And President Trump's absolutely right. This war wouldn't have started if he was president, but he's been past him, and he's got it. And he's moving really, really hard to get it done. And today was just another example. And I think he's really got the teams working exceptionally well. I looked around the oval today, Martha, and I looked at-- we had Secretary Rubio there, Mike Walsh was there. He had the vice president there. You had the secretary of defense there. You had the CIA director there. You had Stephen Miller there. You had Dan Scavino there. You had Susie Wohauz there. You talk about an all-star team, and they were all talking and working together, and really pulling together. So I think what we're going to do is we're going to head to technical talks. That's a term where you actually have the talks from both sides sitting down until we get to a comprehensive ceasefire, which leads you to a peace treaty. And we're only at day 58, and he's driven that. And the talks today were exceptional.

But I can't let you get away with what you just said about the American Rescue Plan and this inflation that has crippled families here in Philadelphia and all through the state of Pennsylvania and all across the country. Inflation when Donald Trump left office was 1.4% year over year. The stimulus package measures that he put into place was when the economy was flat on its back because the world was shut down because of COVID-19. When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, many states were already back to work. Their economies were already opening. And when they wanted to do his American Rescue Plan, which she co-signed because she was the tie-breaking vote, we told them on Capitol Hill, you're going to create a labor shortage, which is going to create inflation. Because what they wanted to do was do a massive child tax credit, which by the way is the cornerstone of her economic agenda. That child tax credit coupled with all of the other unemployment benefits that Joe Biden wanted to do, that's what caused the labor shortage. The labor shortage in an economy that was already opening up is what caused the massive inflation. So we need to be crystal clear on this. There were bipartisan packages to support the American people during COVID-19. Everybody knows we would do that stuff again. But Joe Biden and Kamala Harris didn't need to do the American Rescue Plan. He wanted to do that for his own agenda, for his own name, and it wrecked our economy. and that's why Americans are suffering today.

Our great farmers of America were making a lot of money when I was president, and now they're not. They're doing horribly. It's really hard for them to make it. Inflation is absolutely killing them. Interest rates are just absolutely a disaster for them. You vote for me. I'm saving our farmers. Our farmers are going to do like they did four years ago. They did better than they've ever done. Thank you.

Rasmussen came out today were substantially leading and others came out today that were leading and in some cases substantially I guess MSNBC came out or CNBC came out also with a poll that was leading and leading fairly big in swing states and some polls I'm leading very big in swing states because they want safety people want safety they want security they want respect all around the world for our country they don't want this this horrible culture that is developing a culture of no common sense it's really a culture of no common sense and it's not what anyone wants we want to have a safe country we want to have a strong military we want low interest rates and we want to be able to have the American dream we want to be able to have our youth be able to buy homes housing get good jobs and we're really just at the opposite right now it's so it's so sad to see

Listen, Janine, honestly, my thoughts are the best thing I ever did was get out of New York. New York is a hopeless place at this point. It's so sad. This judge ruled against my father before we even went to trial. He ruled against our entire family. It was a setup from the very beginning. This was never supposed to be in that court. It was supposed to be in the commercial division. They would never allow it to get there. This judge, the animosity, the way he looked at my father in the courthouse was horrible. I've never seen such hatred in anybody's eyes before. Janine, we're an amazing company. I could truly say that we have never missed a loan payment. We've never defaulted. We've never breached a covenant. Deutsche Bank, they're the most respected and sophisticated bank in the world. They came in and effectively testified that they had an amazing relationship with us. We paid off every loan ahead of time. They made hundreds of millions of dollars off of our organization. We put hundreds of millions of dollars of extra collateral into the respective assets, made them top tier. You're called by every single lender, a platinum borrower. Every single one has called us a platinum borrower. Again, never a default. You have an attorney general who ran on the notion of getting my father, "I'm going to go into the attorney general's office every single day, sue Donald Trump and go home. I'm going to take him down. You watch. I'm going to sue the blank out of him." That was her political platform. She campaigned on that. She fundraised on that. We just didn't have a chance in New York because it's a rigged system. You could not have a better real estate company than ours. You could not have a more professional real estate company than ours. When COVID hit and they shut down every single hospitality company in the country, guess who never missed a loan payment? Guess who paid all of their employees? Guess who always did the right thing? Guess who employs thousands of New Yorkers every single day, puts food on the table for their families, educates their children. You have a lost state right now where you have businesses fleeing, fleeing, fleeing, and you have a company like ours that had paid over $300 million in taxes to a city. My father built the skyline of New York City, and this is the thanks he gets for doing absolutely nothing wrong, not a dollar of financial loss, the exact opposite, hundreds of millions of dollars in financial gain. As to Don and I, every single witness testified, "We have nothing to do with this." They went in. Witness after witness. This is not what they did in the company. It didn't matter to this guy. We were trophies on a wall for this guy. This is the state of New York. I caution anybody. I caution anybody even thinking about moving to New York to just be careful. This is not the state that my father grew up in. This is not the state that we grew up in. This is the demise of a politically weaponized system, and it's horribly saddening. I promise you, we're going to fight this, and we're going to win at the appellate division because honestly, it's so egregious. It's so egregious. I promise you, we're going to get overturned. I hear the passion in your voice, and I mean, so many people agree with you. So many people agree. Letitia James was out of control in terms of what she promised. Then you've got a judge who's unhinged, who said, "Juries get it wrong most times," when he said he decides based on emotion. I mean, everything about it was all about lawfare, but you guys have had to fight this every single day, every day since Donald Trump took office, and at some point, you have to say to yourselves, I mean, this is just too much, but your family never gives up. The president never gives up. Why? My father never gives up. He's the toughest guy I've ever met my entire life, and he is hellbent on winning, and we're going to win in November, and Judge Jeanine, you know this. If he wasn't the front runner for president of the United States right now, they wouldn't be doing this. This has never been tried in New York before. There's no better real estate company in the country than us. They would not be doing this if Donald Trump wasn't the front runner for president, beating Joe Biden in every single poll, absolutely blowing Nikki Haley out of the water. That's why they're attacking him. They're attacking him civilly. They're attacking him criminally. They're doing everything they possibly can, no different than impeachment one, impeachment two, the Russia hoax, the spying on his campaign, the going after Kavanaugh, the going after all of his advisors, you know, they're trying to, they're doing it because Donald Trump is winning. They're scared of the movement that he's created, which is question the power in Washington, D.C., and you know, and one more thing, you know, Judge, the appellate court has already declared victory for us in so many of the aspects of the case that the judge ruled against us on today. The biggest one being statute of limitations. And it's really insane. He just frankly, he just ignores it and moves on. But this is his way of trying to punish Donald Trump literally weeks before he decides to retire and sail into the sunset. And it has to be stopped. We're better than this as a country.

-The biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign. They spied on my campaign last night. -Yeah, there's no real evidence of that. -Of course there is. It's all over the place. Leslie, they spied on my campaign and they got caught. -Can I say something? You know, this is 60 Minutes, and we can't put on things we can't verify. -No, you won't put it on because it's bad for Biden. -We can't put on things we can't verify. -Leslie, they spied on my campaign. -Well, we can't verify that. -It's been totally verified. -No. -It's been -- Just go down and get the papers. They spied on my campaign, they got caught. -No. -And then they went much further than that, and they got caught. And you will see that, Leslie, and you know that, but you just don't want to put it on the air. -As a matter of fact, I don't know that.

We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed and where crime is rampant and out of control like never, ever before. We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon and China to use the trillions and trillions of dollars it has taken from us to build a military to rival our own. And less than three years ago we had Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea in check. They respected us, they were afraid of us, they weren't going to do a thing against us, and everyone knows it. Now Russia and China are holding summits to carve up the world. And perhaps most importantly, we are a nation that is no longer admired, respected, or listened to on the world stage. We are a nation that in many ways has become a joke. We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, faith, and even God. We are a nation whose economy is collapsing into a cesspool of ruin, whose supply chain is broken, whose stores are not stocked, whose deliveries are not coming, and whose educational system is ranked at the very bottom of every single list. We are a nation that just sold a once great company, United States Steel, to Japan. We are a nation whose stock market's continued success is contingent on MAGA winning the next election. If we don't win the next election, the stock market will crash, just like it did in 1929. We are a nation where large packs of sadistic criminals and thieves are allowed to go openly into stores, beat them, kill their workers, destroy their customers, leave with armloads of goods, but with no retribution whatsoever, where the authority of our great police has been taken, where their families and pensions have been threatened, and their lives would be destroyed for the mere mentions of the words "law enforcement." We are a nation where fentanyl and all other forms of illegal drugs are easier to get than groceries to feed our beautiful families. We have become a drug-infested, crime-ridden nation, which is incapable of solving even the simplest of problems. We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death during their lives of 500 people. Players will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing and hopelessly dying in their arms, screaming "what can I do, what can I do, save my baby, what can I do?" We are a nation whose once revered airports are dirty, they're a crowded mess. You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won't leave, they have no idea when they will, where ticket prices have tripled, they don't have the pilots to fly the planes, they don't have qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don't know what the hell they are doing. We are a nation that screens its citizens viciously at all ports, but if you are an illegal alien, you're allowed to flow through our borders by the millions and millions and millions, no matter where you came from, including prisons and mental institutions. We are a nation that has lost its confidence, its willpower, and has lost its strength. We are a nation that has lost its way, but we are not going to allow this horror to continue. Three years ago we were a great nation, and we will soon be a great nation again. It was hardworking patriots like you who built this country, and it is hardworking patriots like you who are going to save our country. We will fight for America like no one has ever fought before, 2024 is our final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communists, marxists and fascists, and we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, we will drain the swamp, we will liberate our country from these tyrants and villains. Once and for all, we will be liberated, we will be free. Like those patriots before us, we will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield, we will never give in, we will never give up, we will never ever back down. With your support, we will go on to victory, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. We will evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House, and we will take back our country on November 5th, 2024. The great silent majority is rising like never before and under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. And together, we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. Thank you very much.
