President trump traveled to a Retirement Community on floor to sign an executive over aimed at improving private med car offense. He talked about his 2020 president ial opponents and the impeachment inquiry started with house democrats. Announcer , the president of the United States. Really special place. But, where i am disappointed. I said we could have had 25,000 people if we did it outside. They all want your seat. That is the way life goes. You are not giving it up. I know you too well. Please sit down. Lets enjoy it. Lets enjoy ourselves. Now you have got tremendous crowds out there. Look at that. He has my name tattooed on his leg. That is great. I am thrilled to be here. One of the most famous and Thriving Communities anywhere in florida and really anywhere in the world as far as im concerned, the villages. [applause] in fact i was thinking about , moving to the villages but i could not leave maralago. [laughter] i got stuck at maralago. I dont know. But this has been a great area for us and a great part of our victory. I dont know if we got 100 , but it was pretty close. Anybody in there not vote for us . We love it. We met the folks that built the villages and run the villages. They are out here someplace and have done a fantastic job. Stand up. What a job you have done. Great job. Great job. [applause] pres. Trump that started with your grandfather and your father and you folks. What a great job you have done. In my old days i wouldve been jealous. Now i could not care less about them. [laughter] amazing how being president can do that to you. In my campaign for president i made you a sacred pledge i would strengthen, protect and defend medicare for all of our Senior Citizens. You see it is under siege but it is not going to happen. Today i will sign a very historic executive order order that is exactly that. We are making your medicare even better. We are not letting anyone it will never be taken away from you. [applause] pres. Trump you see these people on the other side. These people are crazy, totally crazy. They want to take it away and give you lousy health care. It is pretty incredible. You want to keep your doctors, right . President obama, right . He said you can keep your doctor. That did not work out too well for those people. 28 times. He said he is trying to forget. Never forget. Never forget. As long as i am president no one will lay a hand on your medicare benefits. That is what we are here to do today. [applause] this order is the latest step in my administrations drive to ensure the worlds best health care for all americans. Together we are creating a Health Care System that protects vulnerable patients, makes health care more affordable, gives you more choice and control and delivers the highquality care americans deserve. That is what we are doing. We are strengthening our Health Care System to a level that nobody thought would be possible. Our economy is booming. We are doing fantastically well. I think it gets a little hurt by politics. [applause] pres. Trump our country is so strong and our economy is so powerful even politics even when you have the do nothings. The do nothing dems cannot affect it very much. [applause] pres. Trump we have created over 6 million new jobs since the election. The Unemployment Rate has reached a 51year low. Think of that. Think of that. [applause] pres. Trump soon it will be a historic number, like so many other numbers. 2. 5 Million People have been lifted out of poverty. That means more americans that now have, that is what its all about they have a great way of life. They have Affordable Health care options and millions of seniors are enjoying Better Healthier, and more prosperous retirements. I should be retiring with you. [applause] pres. Trump i should be in this audience clapping. But i did not trust anybody to be standing here because i know what you have. [cheers] [applause] [chanting] pres. Trump thank you very much. I did not trust anybody. Its true. Very important. Nobody has done more in 2. 5 years than what we have done. Whether it is right to try, tax cuts, nobody has done more for what we have done. Not even close. We are delighted to be joined by a man who is really, really good. He ran one of the largest Drug Companies and really successfully. And i took him out. Look, that is where the money is. That is where the knowledge is. He ran one of the biggest, most successful companies. I said alex azar, come on out. I want to get you to be the top person in charge of this. I said how much bigger is this , than the company . Hundreds of times bigger. It is a monster. It is a monster. What a job. You know who he is. Where is alex . Wherever you are. [applause] pres. Trump he works with administrators who have been so incredible. Seema. You have to stand up. What a job. They know the most intricate little quarter sentences. You would not believe it. I would say what about this . , its always like a little they tell me unfortunately roadblock that we figure our way , around. Somebody else will be lowering drug prices with us in a short distance. We will buy them from a slightly different source. A little bit unconventional. A lot of people say i was unconventional. Sometimes you have to be unconventional. [applause] pres. Trump alex, when every going to let Governor Ron Desantis and your incredible first lady when are they going to be able to do what we want to do . [applause] pres. Trump when can they do what we want them to do . Alex says soon. They will have a big fat, beautiful surprise for you. That has been an incredible couple and a great governor in the job they are doing is phenomenal. I was honored to be very much involved in that campaign. [applause] pres. Trump if he was doing a lousy job i probably would not have shown up today. But he is doing one of the best jobs in the whole country. Ron desantis. [applause] also, helping ron and casey, jeanette nunez, your lieutenant governor. Thank you. Florida attorney general ashley moody. I saw you down there. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. A few warriors with us. Ron was in congress and he was fighting the russian hoax. That was the russian witchhunt hoax. It was so impressive. He said, i would like to run for governor. I said i would rather keep you where you are because they have come up with another crazy idea. Im glad i didnt. It worked out well but we have warriors back in washington. You have five of them right here. Gus, bill gus . Where is gus . The legendary neil dunn. Thank you. These guys are warriors. Ross spano. Thanks, ross. Michael waltz. Michael. Great job he does on television. All of them do a great job in defending us. They are not defending me. They are defending us, because i was the greatest election victory maybe in history and they are defending us. And a man with one of the best names in the history of politics. Daniel webster. [applause] pres. Trump what a name. If i had that name, i would have been president 10 years ago. [laughter] pres. Trump thank you. Thanks, daniel. Thanks, everybody. Great job. They are warriors. They go back and they fight corruption, and it is corruption what is going on right now. What you see going on is pure corruption. As we gather this afternoon, medicare is under threat like never before. You know that. You have people running for office. You will not be happy here. Almost every major democrat in washington has backed a massive Government Health care takeover that would totally obliterate medicare. These democrat policy proposals may go by different names. They have all these wonderful names, like im sorry. [laughter] names, like im sorry. [laughter] im sorry. The fake news is back there. [booing] pres. Trump they will say it is terrible. It is terrible. They want me to admonish you. Who said that . Lock her up. Who said that, please. I am admonishing you. Never, ever say that again. Thats ok. Sitdown. Hes admonished. Now they cant do their fake number on us. Thank you. Kthey may go by different names, whether it is singlepayer or the socalled public option, but they are all based on the totally terrible idea. They want to raid medicare to find a thing called socialism. Any socialists in the room . Anybody . No. Not too many in the villages. You are not big on socialism down here. These geniuses said we are not too good. Everyone one of these plans involves rationing care, restricting access, deny coverage, slashing quality and massively raising taxes. They also want to have open borders. So people can just come in and do whatever they want. [booing] pres. Trump and they have no idea who is coming in. Now we are getting along great with these countries. Mexico cave is 27,000 soldiers guarding our porter. The numbers are way down. 27,000. I want to thank mexico, the government, the president. Congressional democrats extreme agenda would destroy our booming economy very quickly. One of the most disturbing proposals from leftwing politicians involves draining your health care to finance the open borders we just discussed. That is how they want to finance it. Leading democrats have pledged to get Free Health Care to Illegal Immigrants. They put foreign citizens who break our laws and endanger our country, they put them way ahead of american citizens like you who will obey all laws. I will never allow these politicians to steal your health care and give it away to illegal aliens. [applause] pres. Trump now in new york, they passed a new regulation that if you use the word illegal immigrant, that i hear correctly . They want to charge you 250,000. In other words sell your home because you have to say we dont like Illegal Immigrants pouring into the country illegally. We want people to come in through a process and we are all in favor of that. [applause] pres. Trump the fake news will cut that last part of the sentence off. They will just put the first part. Man, he is too tough. I cant vote for him. A nation must put its own citizens first. My administration is standing up for american seniors. [applause] we will always protect the medicare benefits you earned and paid for. In the last administration, democrats slashed medicare by 800 billion to pay for obamacare. Now one of their new proposals backed by more than 130 democratic members of congress would cost listen to this number 32 trillion. That is on the low side with a t. We are beyond the bs. Given reduce Household Income by 17,000 per year. Is there anyone in this room that doesnt mind losing 17,000 a year . In order to get lousy health care. They use many labels. All the democrat plans would devastate our Health Care System. The fake moderates on the left are telling the same lies they did under the last administration, for the last administration frankly was moderate compared to the maniacs you are hearing from today. These are maniacs. Elizabeth pocahontas warren. [booing] pres. Trump when i used to hit her i thought she was going. I thought she was going. She came up from the ashes. She emerged. Now we will probably have to do it again because i dont see sleepy joe making it. I thought she was going. Under this administration we believe every American Family has the right to choose. Choice is so important, like what we did with vince for they can go out and get a doctor instead of waiting in line for three weeks, four weeks, two months. Choice. You look at the doctor and you look at the plan that is best for you. The truth is there was no longer a moderate wing of the congressional democrats. They have gone crazy. They have been hijacked by the radical left. These people on the left these people are is that the same guy . [laughter] i sort of like him. I cant admonish him. I think it is the same guy. Hes got a powerful voice. Democrat lawmakers are not trying to build up the country. They only want to wreck and destroy all the things we have built up over the last three and a half years, four years, five years. Prior to us getting in here. You look at the stock market numbers from the time of the election, from that november 9 wasnt november 8 . Wasnt that one of the great times . Go a day later and you look at the numbers in the stock market. Up way over 50 . 401 k s are doing unbelievably well. One of these people gets in and your 401 k is going to hell. The stock market is going to hell. I think the country will go to hell. They are consumed by rage and radicalism. An insatiable lust for power. How about Justice Cavanaugh . They talk about a woman. They talk about a woman, about horrible things he never even thought about. Horrible, horrible things. They want to impeach him. Then the following day she said i dont remember anything. I dont remember that. They said we dont care. We want to impeach himwhat him. What theyre trying to do is turn his vote. Hes a much tougher guy than that. [applause] pres. Trump i better be. With all that we have to put up with these people, we wouldnt be here. It democrat healthcare proposals put everyone into a single socialist run program that would end private insurance for over 180 million americans. Im smiling to myself as i go through these numbers. I know the people in this room. Those are the people. I grew up with you. A sort of a weird feeling to be talking to you about you dont want to be a socialist. Youre probably saying why is he wasting his time . There is a movement and its not so easy to be them when they get up and a debate and they say were going to cut your College Tuition to nothing. Were going to knock off 1. 6 trillion, were going to do all these things and everythings free except for your taxes. Your taxes are going to go up at a level no one has seen before and it wont be nearly enough to pay for it. I will not let any of this bad stuff happen. Its important that we win this race. Only one last time i said that the most important election in our countrys history. We were ready to go over the edge. [laughter] [applause] pres. Trump now our country is doing great, its like a plant. Like a tree. It has to the roots have to grab hold. We still need more time, we have done so much but we need a little more time. The thing has to grow and it has to get in there and nobodys going to be able to take it down no matter what happens later on. [applause] pres. Trump in america, we believe in freedom and liberty not government domination and government control. Today, standing in solidarity with our nations seniors, i declare once again that america will never be a socialist country. [applause] [chanting] pres. Trump do you want to drive them crazy . Dont do four more years, do eight more years. [laughter] pres. Trump one of these crazy maniacs on the show was interviewing somebody radical left and he goes you know hes going to window you . Big show. The guy says no, were to fight him. No know hes going to win. You know hes never getting out dont you . Hes not going to get out. I thought hes a comedian i thought he was getting and having fun. He meant it. These guys are sick. If you want to drug them crazy, just say eight more years or 12 more years. 16 would do it good. [laughter] pres. Trump you would really drive them into the loony bin. [applause] pres. Trump that is why they do the impeachment stuff because they cant beat us fairly. They cant win. If they won it would be a sad day for our country. It will be a sad sad day for our country if they won. Among those who would be hit hardest by the socialist takeover are 24 million seniors on Medicare Advantage. One out of two hispanic seniors, one out of three africanamerican seniors is enrolled in Medicare Advantage. This popular Medicare Program has been around for a long time. It allows private plans to compete to offer Senior Citizens the absolute best healthcare. They want to destroy it. While many democrat plans would eliminate Medicare Advantage, my administration is fighting to make it even better and much much stronger. [applause] pres. Trump thanks to our efforts, there are nearly 1200 more Medicare Advantage plans today than there were just two years ago. Think of that. Premiums have permitted by 28 . They have gone down. They are now at the lowest level in over 10 years. With us today is corey spangler. It she lives just up the road. Please tell us some of what we have been discussing on Medicare Advantage and your plan and how important it is to you. Please come up wherever you are. [applause] my family came to america from mexico when i was five years old. Because my father did not like the corruption and we had socialized medicine there. He came to this country legally and when i turned 65, i had some heart issues. Went to the doctor, they scheduled me with a cardiologist. He scheduled me for a stress test on a wednesday. I failed that test. He scheduled me for a heart catheterization the next day. I failed that. They told me i need to have bypass and i was going to have by the bypasses done. The next monday i was in surgery with my five bypasses and i went home the following friday. This would never happen with medicare for all. I love my Medicare Advantage plan. I can choose the doctor when i need it and if the care i need. And it wouldnt happen with medicare for all. [applause] thank you mr. President for saving our healthcare. [applause] i see a future politician there. [laughter] she was so calm. No nerves. Sometimes people get a little bit nervous but that was very good what a job they have done great doctors. Did you choose your own doctor or get lucky with one that was recommended . They were wonderful. Pres. Trump thats fantastic and you are wonderful. Thank you. The democrat plans for socialized medicine will not just put doctors and hospitals out of business, they will also deny your treatment and everything you need. Government run Healthcare Systems always end up opposing you see what happens. It you look at venezuela they dont have food or water. The hospitals are a disaster. No electricity, it is v
