At the beginning of his speech to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, President Trump joked that the audience had to sit down or else the media would report that he didn’t get a standing ovation. The audience promptly did so, and then stood up to applaud Trump 20 times during his speech.
Here are all 20 of the Trump lines that prompted standing ovations:
- “Sit down, everybody. You know what the dishonest media will say, ‘He didn’t get a standing ovation.’ You know why? Because everybody stood and nobody sat, so they will say ‘He never got a standing ovation.”
- “I’ll say ‘What network is it?’ and they’ll say — let’s not even mention names. We have a lot. The Clinton News Network is one.”
- “It’s time to stand up for America, to stand up for the American worker, and to stand up for the American flag.”
- “There is such love in this country for everything we stand for. You saw that on Election Day.”
- “The core conviction of our movement is that we are a nation that put, and will put, its own citizens first.”
- “We’re going to repeal and replace Obamacare.”
- “We’re taking swift and strong action to secure the southern border of the United States. And to begin the construction of the great, great border wall.”
- “We will support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.”
- “I said, ‘Who makes the pipes for the pipeline?’ ‘Well sir, it comes from all over the world. Isn’t that wonderful?’ ‘Nope, it comes from the United States!'”
- “We’re preparing bold action to lift the restrictions on American energy, including shale oil, natural gas and beautiful clean coal. We’re going to put our miners back to work.”
- “We’re going to massively lower taxes on the middle class, reduce taxes on American business, and make our tax code more simple and much more fair for everyone, including the people and the businesses.”
- “It’s time for all Americans to get off of welfare and get back to work.”
- “We’re also putting in a massive budget request for our beloved military.”
- “I have also directed the defense community to develop a plan to totally obliterate ISIS.”
- “We are going to keep radical Islamic terrorism the hell out of our country.”
- “We will take care of our great, great veterans. We’re taking care of our veterans.”
- “By the way, we will protect our Second Amendment.”
- “There is no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency, or a global flag. This is the United State of America. I’m not representing the globe. I’m representing your country.”
- “We are all equal, co-equal, in the eyes of almighty God.”
- “I want to say to you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.”
