God bless the usa to the heroes of tennessee President Trump two great gentlemen thank you very much. Please sit down. [cheers and applause] President Trump thank you very much. And i want to thank the representative, somebody with a future. I do not know if i would trade him the future for the age, i would love to pick up that age.
