President Donald Trump brought down the house last night during the announcement of his 2024 presidential run.
Trump was commenting on Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives after making gains in the midterm elections.
The 45th president noted that Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has now lost her leadership position along with the House majority.
“Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens, America’s comeback starts right now,” Trump said.
“I am running because I believe the world has not yet seen the true glory of what this nation can be.
“We have not reached that pinnacle. Believe it or not.
“In fact, we can go very far,” he declared.
“We’re going to have to go far first.
“We have to get out of this ditch.
“I will ensure that Joe Biden does not receive four more years in 2024.
“Our country could not take that.
“And I say that not in laughter, I say that in tears.
“Our country could not take four more years.
“It can only take so much,” he warned.
“Because of all of our great congressmen and congresswomen, we have taken over Congress.
“Nancy Pelosi has been fired – isn’t that nice?” Trump said as the room erupted in cheers and applause.

“Just as I promised in 2016, I am your voice,” Trump vowed.
“I am your voice.
“The Washington establishment wants to silence us, but we will not let them do that.
“What we have built together over the past six years is the greatest movement in history.
“I will keep America out of foolish and unnecessary foreign wars, just as I did for four straight years.
“We will again have peace through strength.
“That’s all it is.
“As events overseas have shown, to protect our people from the unthinkable threat of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles.
“The United States must also build a state of the art next generation missile defense shield.
“We need it,” Trump asserted.
“The power of these missiles and the power of a word that I refused to say: Nuclear.
“We have to have it. We need a defense shield.
“To further drain the swamp, I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress. It’s time.
“And I will ask for a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns, a lifetime ban on lobbying by former members of Congress.”
TRUMP: “We will plant our beautiful American flag very soon on the surface of Mars, which I got started”
