During his speech, Trump focused on border security, recalling that he declared a national emergency on the southern border early in his presidency. He emphasized deploying the military and Border Patrol to counter what he described as an “invasion,” crediting these actions with achieving record-low illegal border crossings. Trump sharply contrasted his policies with those of Biden, whom he labeled the “worst president in American history,” citing the surge in illegal crossings under Biden’s administration. He criticized Biden for releasing hundreds of thousands of individuals, including criminals and those from mental institutions, into the U.S., questioning the reasoning behind such decisions. Trump reaffirmed his commitment to strict border control, positioning himself as a staunch defender of national security.
