The President: My fellow Americans, I truly believe
that the first 100 days of my Administration has been
just about the most successful in our
country's history.
Most importantly, were bringing back jobs.
You asked the people of Michigan; you asked the
people of Ohio; you can ask the
people of Pennsylvania.
See what's happening.
See the car companies come roaring back in.
They don't want to leave.
They want to stay here.
They want a piece of the action.
Our country is going up and it's going up fast.
Our companies are doing better they just announced
fantastic profits all because of what's happened
in this rather short period of time.
And that's just the beginning.
We're putting in a massive tax cut for the middle
class and for business.
Its going to have an enormous effect.
The massive Keystone Pipeline, the Dakota
Pipeline tens of thousands of jobs right there.
And so many other businesses.
We're really proud of what we're doing.
The F-35 fighter jet program was
way over budget.
I've saved 725 million dollars plus, just by
getting involved in the negotiation.
We're cutting costs, and we're going to have a
truly competitive and great country again.
In just fourteen weeks, my administration has brought
profound change to Washington.
The most fundamental change can be found in the
relationship between the people and
their government.
For too long, politicians cared more about special
interests than they did about a very successful
future for all Americans.
They took our taxpayers money, and sent their jobs
and wealth to other countries.
Not anymore.
From the first day of my administration, I have
governed by a simple idea: My only allegiance is to
you, our wonderful citizens.
Together we are seeing that great achievements
are possible when we put American People first.
That is why I withdrew the United States from the
Trans-Pacific Partnership.
That day was a turning point for our nation.
It put the countries of this world on notice that
the sellout of the American worker was over.
In the following weeks, I took unprecedented actions
to reverse Federal overreach and
unleash job creation.
We have slashed burdensome regulations, and imposed a
policy that for each new regulation, two
regulations must be erased from the books.
We've done it all while moving quickly to restore
the most basic protection for all citizens,
the rule of law.
A truly great judge, Neil Gorsuch, now sits on the
United States Supreme Court.
Justice Gorsuch is deeply devoted to our
Constitution.
My Administration is the first in the modern
political era to confirm a new Supreme Court Justice
in the first 100 days the last time it happened was
136 years ago in 1881.
Defending the rule of law is a priority, not just in
the courts, but also on the streets and
on the border.
We've told the incredible police of our nation that
they have our full support as they work to bring down
violent crime rates.
We've taken bold action to go after criminal cartels,
and made it a top priority to prosecute anyone who
targets law enforcement.
This has been the work of my administration fighting
for the American worker, defending the rule of law,
and returning the power to the American people.
Since my inauguration, economic confidence has
soared, reaching higher than any time
in nine years.
Optimism among manufacturers is at a
record high.
And small business confidence has seen its
largest increase in nearly four decades.
Perhaps the greatest change of all is the
renewal of the American Spirit.
As long as we have faith in each other, and trust
in God, then the sun will always shine on our very
glorious republic.
Thank you, God Bless You, and God Bless America.
