In fact, we\u2019re winning so much that we really don\u2019t know what to do about it. The cost of chicken, butter, fruit, hotels, automobiles, rent is lower today than when I took office by a lot. Why would anybody not want voter ID? One reason. Because they want to cheat. There\u2019s only one reason. They want to cheat. They have cheated, and their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat. And we\u2019re going to stop it. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I\u2019m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals. They\u2019re blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourselves.\u201d [Chanting] \u201cU-S-A\u201d \u201cThe good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made. Right Scott? Knowing that the legal power that I as president, have to make a new deal could be far worse for them, and therefore they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court\u2019s unfortunate involvement. One thing is certain, I will never allow the world\u2019s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can\u2019t let that happen.\u201d \u201cWe did not hear the truth from our president. Is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family? We all know the answer is no. Every minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children, or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-hple31\">President Trump portrayed the United States as safe and \u201cwinning\u201d in his State of the Union address.
