| Oct 19, 21:01:24 ET | US President Trump Via Truth Social: Less than two years ago, Radical Left Dumocrats handed us the DARK AGE of America, but we quickly turned it into the GOLDEN AGE of America. Despite all the damage Dumocrats caused, our Nation is doing better now than ever before, but the Fake News Media refuses to talk about our Record Setting Numbers, so today, I AM GOING TO DO IT MYSELF:It was just announced that under Republican Leadership, Incomes for Hardworking Americans have soared to the Highest Level EVER RECORDED. More Americans are working today than at any time in the History of our Country! The Poverty Rate has just reached its lowest level in American History. African American Poverty, Hispanic American Poverty, and Native American Poverty Rates are all at their lowest levels EVER recorded. Exports have soared to the Highest Level in American History.Less than two years ago, our Country was DEAD. Now, we are the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World.In 4 long years of the Crooked Joe Biden administration, they got less than 1 Trillion Dollars of new Investment in the United States. Since I took office, we have secured commitments for more than 21 Trillion Dollars in 15 months. Here in Kansas, the pharmaceutical company, Merck, is investing nearly 1 Billion Dollars in De Soto to expand Production, and create thousands of Jobs, and Boeing is investing 1 Billion Dollars right here in Wichita – The Air Capital of the World!Our Country is doing so well under Republican Leadership, that ONLY I can make you this promise: If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate, I am going to give ALL ADULT CITIZENS in the United States 5,000 DOLLARS. Only Republicans can do it, and the Democrats can’t, because we’re taking in massive amounts of money through TARIFFS and Record Setting Economic Success, but the Democrat policies won’t allow this to happen, in fact the opposite — If the Democrats win, you will have a 1929 style Economic Depression. If the Republicans win, you will each have 5,000 DOLLARS IN YOUR POCKET, and Economic Success for our Country like we have never seen before. And remember, just recently, I gave all members of the Military 1,776 Dollars, and everyone said it can’t be done. I did it. The Trump Dividend is approximately 1 Trillion Dollars, but we have a Record Setting 21 Trillion Dollars that’s being invested in the Country in just 15 months. The ONLY Caveat of the Trump Dividend is that you have to spend the money in the United States of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP | — | No measured move |
