I want to thank you as being representative very much of our group, thank you all very much, thank you. [applause] and im so proud that the white house and our administration is filled with so many women of such incredible talent. This week, as we conclude womens history month, we honor a great woman of american history. Since the very beginning, women have driven and i mean each generation of americans, toward a more free and more prosperous future. Among these patriots are women like the legendary abigail adams. Right. [applause] who during the founding urged her husband to remember the rights of women. She was very much a pioneer in that way. Weve been blessed with courageous heroes like Harriet Tubman who escaped slavery. [applause] and went on to deliver hundreds of others to freedom, first in the underground railroad and then as a spy for the union army. She was very, very courageous. Elieve me. And weve had leaders like susan b. Anthony. Have you heard of susan b. Anthony . Im shocked that youve heard of her. Who dreamed of a much more equal and fair future. And an america where women themselves, as she said, helped to make laws and i and elect the lawmakers. And thats whats happening more and more. Tough competition out there, i want to tell you. From the untamed frontiers of the Western Plains to the skyscrapers of manhattan, american women in every generation have shown extraordinary grit, courage, and devotion. Our present generation stands on the shoulders of these titans, and thats what they were and are, titans. Only by enlisting the full potential of women in our society will we be truly able to, you have not heard this expression before, make America Great again. Cheers and applause] thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Its been a will the of fun. Been a lot of fun. And we didnt get that one from madison avenue, right .

[applause] trump earlier this year, i met with a Remarkable Group of leaders. Women entrepreneurs from all across the country.

Just think of what our country could achieve if we unleashed the power of Women Entrepreneurs nationwide to read nationwide. Think of that. [applause] as a man, iump stand before u. S. President , but if i was not president , i would not be happy to hear that statement. It would be a scary statement. Because there is no way we can compete with you. I would not be happy. [laughter] [applause] i would not be happy. One of the Business Owners i met , lisa phillips, used to be homeless. She is now the owner of an Event Planning company and she pays Homeless Youth for good paying jobs. She had a message for all of us. As she put it, this is a country of chances. If you are willing to work hard, you will get the chance. She means it and she has become very successful. She is terrific. Lisa is right, but we have to fight to make sure more people have the ability to succeed. We must believe in each other and there could dream of a brighter and more prosperous future for all of our citizens. We have no choice. It is what we have to do. To be honest, whether you are a woman or man, you have that same dream. You want to be able to dream. You have a egg advantage over us, you know why . Right there. [applause] President Trump a lot of truth to that, right . That is what i want for each and our daughters and granddaughters, and i know together we will get there.
