Criticize the Presumptive Democratic nominee, joe biden. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States. President trump thank you very much, everybody. It is not too hot, but it is pretty warm. Thank you. So we had a big day on the stock market. Things are coming back, and very rapidly. Much sooner than people thought. People are feeling good about our country. People are feeling good about therapeutics and possible vaccines. We are going to go over a quite a bit and may be to questions if we have time and its not too hot. Today i signed legislation and an executive order to hold china accountable for its oppressive actions against the people of hong kong. And an executive order to hold china accountable for its oppressive actions against the people of hong kong. Hong kong economy act, which i signed this afternoon, passed unanimously through congress. Law gives my administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals and entities involved in extinguishing hong kongs freedom. We have watched what happened. Not a good situation. Their freedom has been taken away. Their rights have been taken away. And with it goes hong kong, in my opinion, because it will no longer be able to compete with free markets. A lot of people will be leaving hong kong. And we are going to do more business because of it, because we just lost one competitor. That is the way it is. We lost a very, very serious competitor, a competitor that will be incentivized to take a lot of business and to do well. And we give them a lot of business by doing what we did. We gave them things that nobody else had the right to do, and that gave them a big edge over other markets. And because of that edge, they have done historic business, tremendous business, far bigger than anybody would have thought years ago when we did this gift. It was really a gift. Today i also signed an executive order ending u. S. President ial u. S. Preferential treatment for hong kong. Hong kong will now be treated the same as mainland china, no special privileges, no special economic treatment and no export of sensitive technologies. In addition, we are placing massive tariffs and have placed very large tariffs on china, first time that has ever happened, billions of dollars have been paid to the United States, of which i have given quite a bit to the farmers and ranchers of our country because they were targeted. And that has been going on for three years. First time anybody has done anything like that. And prior to the plague pouring in from china, they were having the worst year in 67 years. I dont want them to have a bad year. I want them to have a good year. But they were taking advantage of the United States for many, many years. And that is stopping. But then the virus came in and the world was a different place, but we are now getting back in the marcus to his and the market is almost at the point it was not prior to the plate, almost. We are getting very close. It is a great thing. It is an amazing thing, what our people have done at what they have endured. No administration has been tougher on china than this administration. We have imposed historic tariffs. We stood up to chinas intellectual property theft that a level nobody has ever come close. We confronted untrustworthy Chinese Technology and telecom providers. We convinced many countries, many countries, and i did this awei,f, not to use hu because we think it is a big security risk. It is a big security risk. I talked many countries out of using it. If you want to do business with us, you cant use it. Just today, i believe the u. K. Announced that they are not going to be using it. It was up in the year for a long time, but they have decided. Look at italy, you look at many other countries. We withdrew from the chinese and we fully rebuilt the United States military. Who, world health organization, we were paying close to 500 million a year. China was paying 39 million a year. Too much say. They worked it very hard, which is a bad thing done by our past administrations. We were tied off and i was saying, i was asking, why are we paying so much more than china . China has 1. 4 billion people. We have 325, probably 320 5 million approximately. Nobody can give the exact count. Where trying to get an exact count, you have over the years many illegals who have come into the country, so it depends on how you want to count it, but you could say 300 25 million to 350 million people, as opposed to 1. 4 billion people. And the world trade is terrible. That deal is terrible. The world health is a terrible deal. We have been very tough in the world trade organization, i guess as tough as you can on world health. We withdrew our money. We told them we are getting out. Doesnt mean someday we wont go back in, maybe we will when it is correctly run. But they made a lot of bad predictions that they set a lot of bad things about what to do and how to do it and they turned out to be wrong. And they were really a puppets of china. And make no mistake, we hold china fully responsible for concealing the virus and unleashing it upon the world. They could have stopped it. They should have stopped it. It would have been very easy to do at the source when it happened. In contrast, joe bidens entire career has been a gift to the Chinese Communist party and said the calamity of errors that they made. They made so many errors. And it has been devastating for the american worker. Out hundreds of billions of dollars a year from our country, and we rebuilt china, give them all the credit in the world. I dont give the credit to the people who used to stand here, because they allowed this to happen, where hundreds of billions of dollars were taken out of the United States treasury in order to rebuild china. No company and no country in the world, no country in the world has ever ripped off the United States like the did onble job that they this country and the people that ran it. Theibly it is one of reasons, certainly one of the big reasons trade, things related to trade, that i got selected in the first place. I have been talking about it for a long time, along with many other subjects. Joe biden supported chinas entry into the world trade organization, one of the greatest political and economic disasters in world history. Thelook at china, look at moment they joined the world trade. They were flatlining for years and years and decades. Sudden, theyof a joined the wto and they went like a rocketship. They were given all sorts of advantages. They were considered a developing country. As a developing country they got tremendous advantages over the United States and other countries, and they took advantage of those advantages and then some. Biden personally led the effort to give china permanent most favored nation status, a tremendous advantage for a country to have. Few countries have it. But the United States doesnt have it. Never did. Probably never even asked for it, because they didnt know what they were doing. As Vice President , biden was a leading advocate of the paris climate the cord, which was unbelievably expensive to our country. Americanhave crushed manufacturers while allowing china to pollute, pollute the atmosphere with impunity. Biden toore gift from the Chinese Communist party. They took all of the advantage away from us. They took everything away. They dont have oil. Have had to close up tremendous amounts of our energy to qualify eventually, not far into the future. We would have had to have done things that would have been unbelievably destructive to our country, including the possible closing of 25 of our businesses. Think of that. And it was going to cost us hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars for the purpose of being involved in the paris climate record climate accord. And you just have to look at what took place this year in paris and in france, where money was being sent to countries all over the world, and the people of france didnt want to take it and they didnt and they did a lot of rioting. Had their taxes raised. We would have had to raise our taxes, and it was a disaster. I have been having a lot of credit for what i get there. It took a certain amount of courage, because it sounds so ,ice, the Paris Climate Accord but it wasnt good for us at all. America lost nearly 10,000 factories while jill biden was Vice President. Think of that. 10,000 factories. He wrote something today and made a statement i wrote down. It is pretty accurate. Years, theere for 47 last eight years, not long ago, as Vice President he said, one in five miles of our highways are still in poor condition. Well, we are doing a good job on highways. But why did teeth fix them three years ago why didnt he fix them . Why didnt he fix them three years ago . Tens of thousands of bridges are in disrepair and under virtue of collapse. Why didnt he fix them . He was there for eight years with president obama, why didnt they fix them . This is what he wrote. Highspeed broadband. Wrotepeed broadband, he well, why didnt he get it . Three years ago wasnt a long time and he didnt do any of the things but now he says he is going to be president , and as president , he is going to do all the things he didnt do. He never did anything except make very bad decisions, especially on foreign policy. Biden and president obama freely allowed china to pillage our factories, plunder our communities and steal our most precious secrets. And i have stopped it largely. But i have stopped it. And it wasnt easy. Because you talk about a certain power of the telephone and the calls, where they would call and say no, we dont want to do that. Other countries would call on behalf of china, but i did it. I did what has to be done. And you just take a look at what and take a look at the numbers, where they devalued the currency in order to pay the tariffs. Now the Democrat Party is calling for the defunding of our military. Think about that. They want to fund our military when china is building a massive military. They are building a massive military, and biden wants to defund our military. Needs american strength right now more than ever. And weve got it. Now soon, as all this equipment comes in, all made in the usa, weve got the newest most incredible weapons anywhere in the world. We have the best tanks, the best ships, the best missiles, the best rockets, we have the best of everything. We have the best fighter jets, the f35, the f18, all these , tankers. Being built incredible tankers. Bombers. Hope we dont have to use them. Incredible the most military. When i came income of the military was totally depleted. It was a level that was just absolutely incredible. You know the statements. I made the statements before. I told you what generals told me about our military, and i will make them again. If somebody needs them, we will give them to you. Very well documented. As Vice President , biden o posed opposed biden tariffs. That he was standing up for china. Didnt want to do anything to disrupt the relationship with china, even though china was taking us to the cleaners. He opposed my very strict travel ban on chinese nationals to stop the spread of the china virus. He was totally against it. Xenophobic, he called me. Xenophobic. A month later, he admitted i was right. We would have had thousands of people additionally die if we let people come in from heavily infected china, but we stopped it. We did a travel ban in january. Nancy pelosi was dancing in the streets of chinatown in San Francisco a month later, and even later than that. And others too. They all thought what i did was a terrible mistake. We would have lost, dr. Fauci said we would have lost thousands of additional people if President Trump hadnt done that. And i was a crowd of one, because even experts didnt do that. They thought it was a mistake. And then when i started seeing what was going on in italy and spain and france and other countries in europe, i did a ban on people coming in from europe. That would have been disastrous for our country. We saved tens of thousands of lives, but it we actually saved millions of lives but we actually saved millions of lives by closing up, potentially millions of lives. Could be the number we are actually working on but it could be 2 million to 3 million lives. So we are at 130 5000, which is terrible. One is too much. But we would have had millions of people dead from this curse that came at us. But we did what we had to do, and now we will put out the flames as it happens. We have to get the schools open. We have to get everything open. A lot a people dont want to do that for political reasons, not for the reasons. But if we listened to joe biden, hundreds of thousands of additional lives would have been lost. And if you look at the job he did on swine fluke, i looked at they poll, they have poles on everything nowadays and they got very bad marks on the job they did on these lines. Ihi. Anne calls he calls itn1h1. The job poor marks on they did on the swine flu. And they stopped the testing. They just stopped. And if we didnt test, you wouldnt have all the headlines because we are showing cases, and we have just about the lowest mortality rate. But if we did think of this if we didnt do testing, instead of testing over 40 million people, if we did half the testing, we would have half the cases. If you cut that in half, we would have yet again half of headlines are always testing. The testing is a good thing, but that the same time, it is fodder for the fake news to report cases. Million, doing 14 going to be close to 40 doing million,n doing 40 going to be close to 45 million. And i turn on the news and they dont talk about the cases cut tenfold, one of the respected media outlets, cut tenfold. But they dont talk about that. They talk about cases. In the cases are created because of the fact we do tremendous testing. We did the best testing in the world. We now make ventilators for the world. We had very few ventilators. There wasnt one person in any hospital anywhere in this country that needed a ventilator that didnt get it. And that was because we mobilized to a level using the purchasing act in some cases, we mobilized to a level nobody thought possible. Nothing has happened like that since world war ii. Our task force has done a great job. Mike pence works so hard and gets so little credit, sad to see that, actually, but he works so hard and gets so little credit. The governors would tell us that he would be on the phone with 50 different governors and the governors would all say, great job, great job, and then they would do they would go to the media and say, they didnt do such a great job. We made a lot of governors look fantastic. What we did in new york was one of the most incredible things. 2800 beds at Javits Center, but the governor used very few unfortunately. Then we moved in a great hospital ship, we moved one also to los angeles, and we could have used that for our Senior Citizens. We could have used it for other people. They could have used it instead of sending our seniors back in Nursing Homes that were infected, where you lost thousands of people. Thousands of people in new york died because of poor management by the governor. And it is a very sad thing to see, and very sad to watch and very sad to look at those statistics. An incredible Javits Center that we built with thousands of beds, i think it was 2800 already to go 2800, all ready to go. And they could have sent Senior Citizens there instead of sending them into the Nursing Homes. And after all of that were getting it done, the army corps of engineers, the job they did was incredible, they built it in a matter of days. When it was all completed, fema, everybody was there, doctors, we ended up getting doctors, they said we cant man it and they said we will man it and woman it and that is what we get. Nurses,ht in doctors, everything, we were all set, we said where are the people . They didnt send the people. Very few people came. They could have sent them to the Javits Center. They could have sent up to the hospital ship, which was virtually unused. But we were there. By contrast, my administration acted very early to been trouble from china from europe, saving all these lives. Incredible. And i want everyone to know, i want every citizen to know that we are using the full power of the federal government to fight the china virus and to keep our people safe. Speed, weeration warp will deliver a vaccine in recordbreaking time. We are doing well on the vaccine. We have many, many different vaccines being studied right now. Many are looking really good. To distributedy the vaccine when we get it. , taking anset economic risk of preparing for delivery because we feel very certain it is going to be there. But logistically, we have our military ready to go. We have generals, that is all they do, distribute things that they will be distributing hopefully a vaccine or a therapeutic date is coming out really well. And i think you are going to have good news very quickly having to do with vaccines. We are working with many other countries on the vaccine. Many countries are working with us. We are unleashing our nations scientific genius to kill the virus. Joe biden just sighed with china on the virus, he did, he called me against xenophobic, you all heard it many times. Of chinabed the rise as a very positive development. Not for us, its not. He said the idea that china is our competition is really bizarre. He is really bizarre. He said china is not a problem. Nobody has ripped us off more than china over the past 25 years, nobody close. And he says china is not a problem. Now he takes it all back. Now he wants to be mr. Tough guy. But for years, 47 years, he never came out against china. Never said anything bad. Just the opposite. With 1. 5lked out million of money to invest, where he will make hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe millions of dollars a year, walked out with 1. 5 million. I asked one of the biggest people on wall street, may be the biggest come is that possible . He said no, he has never seen it, they dont that. Hunter, where is hunter, where is hunter, by the way . Withr biden walked out 1. 5 billion. In ukraine, he got 83,000 a month and i guess enough and payment. So he went from not having a job ,o gett
