You know, when I think of the last three years, there’s only one way that I can describe it. It’s been three years of action. It’s been three years of results. It’s been three years of promises made and promises kept. But we’re just getting started, Wisconsin. (Applause.) That’s why we need the USMCA.

I mean, think about it: I mean, President Trump promised to revive the American economy, and he went straight to work. Working with our allies in the Congress of the United States, President Trump signed the largest tax cuts and tax reform in American history. Disposable income for working families across this country is already up by more $5,000 a year. In fact, the President went on to sign more bills cutting federal red tape than any President in American history. And we’ve unleashed American energy. Next year, we will be a net exporter of oil for the first time in 75 years. (Applause.) We’re on the road to energy independence, Wisconsin.

{snip more delusions}

So, Wisconsin, I want to encourage you to have faith. Have faith in this President and the agenda that Wisconsin voted to advance. It’s making this country stronger and more prosperous and safer than ever before. Have faith in all these elected representatives that have been standing with this President at every level to keep the promises that we made to the people of this state, the people of this nation.

Have faith in your neighbors and friends in the days ahead that when we continue to deliver on an agenda that’s making the nation more secure and more prosperous, the American people can see through all of the noise and choose the better path — the path to a stronger, more prosperous America.

And finally, have faith in the one who set this miracle of democracy on these wilderness shores so long ago. Because I truly do believe that as we put our trust in Him, the best days for the greatest nation on Earth are yet to come. (Applause.)

And with President Donald Trump in the White House, with the USMCA under our belt, with the strong support of the people of Wisconsin, and with God’s help, I know we’re going to make this state safer than ever before. We’re going to make Wisconsin and America more prosperous than you could possibly imagine. And in a word, we’re going to keep America great. (Applause.)

Thanks, everybody. Thanks for coming out. Let’s go get the USMCA done, and get it done this year. Thank you and God bless you.

I know this is not going to do any good, but I'm going to post this again:

Trump is retweeting bizarrely false numbers from @bennyjohnson

The president is retweeting bizarrely false numbers from @bennyjohnson
Here's the chart of median household income in the Trump years. It's up $600, not $6000. And up $3500 between 2009 and 2016, not $800



Correction, the president's false stat about the Obama years was $1000. Still false, but differently false from the $800 that I mistakenly transcribed.
