- “…first lady of the United States…”
- “Tonight, as we mark the conclusion of our celebration of Black History Month, we are reminded of our nation’s path toward civil rights and the work that still remains.”
- “Recent threats targeting Jewish community centers and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, as well as last week’s shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms.”
- “Our allies will find that America is once again ready to lead. What we are witnessing today is the renewal of the American spirit.”
- “The chorus became an earthquake and the people turned out by the tens of millions, and they were all united by one very simple, but crucial demand, that America must put its own citizens first, because only then can we truly make America great again.”
- “Since my election, Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint, Softbank, Lockheed, Intel, Wal-Mart, and many others, have announced that they will invest billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thousands of new American jobs.”

- “We will stop the drugs from pouring into our country and poisoning our youth, and we will expand treatment for those who have become so badly addicted.”
- “For that reason, we will soon begin the construction of a great wall along our southern border.”
- “We are also taking strong measures to protect our nation from radical Islamic terrorism.”
- “It is not compassionate, but reckless, to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur.”
- “I directed the Department of Defense to develop a plan to demolish and destroy ISIS, a network of lawless savages that have slaughtered Muslims and Christians, and men, women, and children of all faiths and beliefs. We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the Muslim world, to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet.”

- “[Harley Davidson officials and workers] told me — without even complaining because they have been mistreated for so long that they have become used to it — that it is very hard to do business with other countries because they tax our goods at such a high rate. They said that in one case another country taxed their motorcycles at 100 percent. They weren’t even asking for change. But I am.”
- “If we are guided by the well-being of American citizens then I believe Republicans and Democrats can work together to achieve an outcome that has eluded our country for decades.”
- “The time has come for a new program of national rebuilding.”

- “Obamacare is collapsing, and we must act decisively to protect all Americans.”
- “First, we should ensure that Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to coverage, and that we have a stable transition for Americans currently enrolled in the healthcare exchanges.”
- “Secondly, we should help Americans purchase their own coverage, through the use of tax credits and expanded Health Savings Accounts, but it must be the plan they want, not the plan forced on them by the government.”
- “Thirdly, we should give our great state governors the resources and flexibility they need with Medicaid to make sure no one is left out.”
- “Fourthly, we should implement legal reforms that protect patients and doctors from unnecessary costs that drive up the price of insurance and work to bring down the artificially high price of drugs and bring them down immediately.”

- “…to promote clean air and clear water, and to rebuild our military and our infrastructure.”
- “Megan’s dad, John, fought with everything he had to save the life of his precious child. He founded a company to look for a cure, and helped develop the drug that saved Megan’s life. Today she is 20 years old — and a sophomore at Notre Dame.”
- “If we slash the restraints, not just at the FDA but across our government, then we will be blessed with far more miracles like Megan.”
- “I am calling upon members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children.”
- “As a young girl, Denisha struggled in school and failed third grade twice. But then she was able to enroll in a private center for learning, with the help of a tax credit scholarship program. Today, she is the first in her family to graduate, not just from high school, but from college. Later this year she will get her masters degree in social work. We want all children to be able to break the cycle of poverty just like Denisha.”
- “We must work with, not against, the men and women of law enforcement.”
- “We must support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.”

- “We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged through the bonds of two World Wars that dethroned fascism, and a Cold War that defeated communism.”
- “My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America.”
- “Cures to illnesses that have always plagued us are not too much to hope. American footprints on distant worlds are not too big a dream. Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect. And streets where mothers are safe from fear — schools where children learn in peace — and jobs where Americans prosper and grow — are not too much to ask.”
- “We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same flag. And we all are made by the same God.”
- “Thank you, God bless you, and God bless these United States.”
