It’s time once again for a President Trump campaign rally. This time the President will be speaking from Dallas, Texas.
This rally comes on a very busy news day.

This is a great day for civilization. I am proud of the United States for sticking by me in following a necessary, but somewhat unconventional, path. People have been trying to make this “Deal” for many years. Millions of lives will be saved. Congratulations to ALL!
