President Trump Introduction Madison Square Garden

Good evening, New York City.

Hello, Madison Square Garden!

Our hometown, where architectural symbols of strength, courage, and unity create a canvas for the world's undisputed capital of industry.

Where titans of finance, fashion, and entertainment convene among an iconic range of superior designed structures and artistic accomplishments.

And American ingenuity blossoms among determined citizens who race across city streets and between offices, striving for success.

It is you who are the heartbeat of this great metropolis. It is you who are the pulse of this America.

Yet, New York City is unforgiving. In fact, our lives are complicated even during the best of times.

And sadly today, a declining quality of life coupled with economic instability makes it difficult for businesses to thrive. Crime is on the rise, while public safety diminishes, creating an environment where families with young children choose to relocate.

And this story repeats itself from coast to coast, across our nation. This is America.

For generations, this town has produced America's most fearless leaders, whose mark changed the course of the world. New York City and America need their magic back – a country of tomorrow that will shape our future and reset expectations for the next generation.

Envision a wonderful America where the seeds of security, prosperity, and health are sown once again - for the benefit of our families. Let us take charge together with a shared vision that builds on American greatness. Let's seize this moment and create a country for tomorrow, the future that we deserve.

And now, please welcome our next Commander-in-Chief, my husband, President Donald J. Trump.
