- "The American Dream is unstoppable, and our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed, and perhaps will never witness again."

- "Over the past 6 weeks, I have signed nearly 100 Executive Orders and taken more than 400 Executive Actions - a record to restore common sense, safety, optimism and wealth all across our wonderful land. The people elected me to do the job and I am doing it."

- "We have ended weaponised government where as an example, a sitting President is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me, how did that work out? Not too good...we have brought back free speech in America...two days ago I signed an order making English the official language of US."

- "Our country will be woke no longer. We believe that whether you are a doctor, accountant, lawyer or an Air Traffic Controller - you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender."

- "Egg prices are out-of-control and I promise to make America affordable again. Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and offer relief for working families."

- "We have removed the poison of critical race theory from our public schools. I signed an order making it the official policy of US govt that there are only two genders, male and female."

- "Later this week, I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA."

- "Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again."

- "Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades and now it's our turn to start using them against those other countries. On average, the European Union, China, Brazil, India, - Mexico and Canada - Have you heard of them -and countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them. It's very unfair."
