Chiefs trophy presentation, President Trump commented on the 1. 1 trillion spending bill deal reached to fund the government through september. The house will take up the measure on wednesday. Heres part of the president s remarks. This week our Republican Team had its own victory under the radar. That is a very important thing for the men and women of the United States military and its a very important thing for the people of our country. In our new budget, and its been a very hotly contested budget, because as you know, we have to go through a long and rigorous process, but weve ended years of painful cuts to our military and just achieved a 21 billion increase in defense spending. [ applause ] and we didnt do any touting like the democrats did by the way. Not only did we achieve this massive and badly needed increase in defense but we did so without having to put in place an equal increase in nondefense spending, breaking the socalled parity rule that was breaking our budget and degrading our military. And thats not happening any more. That i can tell you. So youre going to have the money we need and the equipment we need. There will never be a time i will tell you this when we will be spending more money we are doing the necessary money, were going to have the finest equipment of all times, whether its airplanes or ships or equipment, in general, that weve ever had in the history of our country we are take care of our military and were not going to go back to what we were doing for the last long period of time. Our military is going to be taken care of. That, i promise you, thank you. Thank you, folks. With this major investment in Americas National defense, a Core Campaign promise of mine, we are at last reversing years of military cuts and showing our determination and resolve to the entire world and believe me, the entire world is watching. And we have resolve like never, ever before. These long awaited increases will make america more safe and more secure and give our Amazing Service members the tools, equipment, training, and resources they need and they very much deserve. To top that, we achieved the single largest increase in Border Security funding in ten years, so we have more money now for if border than weve gotten in ten years. The democrats didnt tell you that, they forgot. In their notes they forgot to tell you that. With enough money to make a down payment on the border wall. I think theyll go back and check their papers. This includes swiftly replacing ineffective and failing fencing and walls with an unbreakable barrier. So were putting up a lot of new walls in certain areas, were putting up a tremendous amount of money to fix the existing structures that we have, some of which we can keep into the future. Theyre in good shape but we have to bring them back to the highest level. Well be doing that with this payment. And make no mistake we are beginning to build the wall and we will keep out the gang members, criminals, drug and human traffickers that threaten our citizens and that threaten our security. Any member of congress who opposes our plans on Border Security and i know these folks dont is only empowering these deadly and dangerous threats. And we will not put up with it and the public wont put up with it. This bill also includes Important Health care resources for our great coal miners who have not been treated well. But now theyre being treated very well and continues to make funding available so inner city children here right in the Nations Capital can go to the school of their choice. Choice is so important. After years of partisan bickering and gridlock, this bill is a clear win for the american people. We brought lawmakers together from both sides of the aisle to deliver a budget that funds the rebuilding of the United States military, makes historic investments in Border Security and provides health care for our miners and School Choice for our disadvantaged children. Very importantly there, is no longterm bailout for the Insurance Companies that the democrats desperately wanted to subsidize donors the badly failing obamacare. Do you know what donors are . I used to be a donor. Identify used to get everything i wanted. This is what winning looks like. Something that you folks really know a lot about.
