LISTEN TO SPEECH
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'S ADDRESS TO A JOINT
SESSION OF CONGRESS
Remarks as prepared for delivery
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of
Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and Citizens of America:
Tonight, as we mark the conclusion of our
celebration of Black History Month, we are reminded of our Nation's path toward
civil rights and the work that still remains. Recent threats targeting Jewish
Community Centers and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, as well as last week's
shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a Nation divided on
policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in
all its forms.
Each American generation passes the torch of
truth, liberty and justice --- in an unbroken chain all the way down to the
present.
That torch is now in our hands. And we will
use it to light up the world. I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity
and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart.
A new chapter of American Greatness is now
beginning.
A new national pride is sweeping across our
Nation.
And a new surge of optimism is placing
impossible dreams firmly within our grasp.
What we are witnessing today is the Renewal of
the American Spirit.
Our allies will find that America is once
again ready to lead.
All the nations of the world -- friend or foe
-- will find that America is strong, America is proud, and America is free. Rest of Text
