.President Donald J. Trump: 250 years ago, a new nation was founded by farmers and soldiers, shopkeepers and tradesmen who stood strong to defend their rights, their families, and their freedom from tyranny across the sea. From every city and town, from the mountains and valleys, from the backwoods and rocky shores, they came by the thousands to fill the ranks of American Patriots, and enlist their lives in the righteous cause of Independence. This exceptional nation was forged and won by some of the bravest, toughest, strongest, most extraordinary people ever to stride the earth. Together, we stand on the shoulders of incomparable heroes such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Paul Jones, and John Hancock. At Lexington and Concord, Brooklyn and Saratoga, Trenton and Yorktown, and at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, these real-life legends and American icons poured out their blood, sweat, and tears — and risked everything they had to purchase and to live the most priceless and glorious inheritance of any people ever to be on this earth. They all lived by the oath that Patrick Henry made immortal — "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death.: For 250 years, every generation of Americans has taken up this same call of Freedom. From the storied alleys of Boston to the streets of Philadelphia, from the golden fields of Michigan to the gleaming shores of California, and from Texas to Florida to right here in now beautiful and extremely safe Washington, D.C., our American ancestors fought and won the most vicious battles, they explored and settled the most dangerous frontiers, and let no challenge ever break their spirit or their pride. Americans crossed the Great Plains, scaled the mighty Rockies, tamed the Wild West, and turned this continent into an industrial powerhouse. We laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, built the great highways, invented the airplane, won two World Wars, defeated fascism and Communism, and led humanity into space — and we did it all in the span of just 250 years. Now, we are expanding the glory of American Freedom into a horizon that's never been seen before. This is our heritage. This is our history. And this is the destiny of America — to be the greatest, most incredible country ever to grace the earth. We are one people and one nation marching into one magnificent future under one Great American Flag.

🧵1/ PRESIDENTS DAY--Ronald Reagan's Greatest Damage To America: "Anyone from any corner of the world can come live here and become an American." The Reagan administration tripled the national debt, gave immunity to vaccine manufacturers, passed an automatic weapons ban, presided over the Iran-Contra scandal, and gave amnesty to 2.7 million illegals. But, while all of these things are varying degrees of bad, none of them actually caused irreparable or irreversible harm to the country. And, in hindsight, they kind of pale in comparison to many things that have happened since then. What was his greatest sin, then? It's actually something far more damaging and insidious than amnesty: it was the attitude and value system he sold subsequent to the amnesty--an attitude and value system that has destroyed our national conscience and self-identity. It transformed how we thought of America, and what it means to be an American. And it's this attitude that has rolled out the red carpet for the fundamental transformation of America. Listen to him invoke the now-clichéd "Statue of Liberty" vision of immigration. Watch him use the "threat" of global communism as an excuse to open America up as a "place of refuge" for all peoples of the world. Hear him paint a picture of a multicultural America. Watch how he sells the ideas of "freedom" and "liberty" as the fundamental defining aspects and organizing principles of what it means to be an American. This was Reagan's greatest sin: he convinced Americans that America was just a set of ideas and that anyone from anywhere in the world can come live here and become an American. This was a radical departure from hundreds of years of established American thought about our identity and heritage. Reagan used his "Great Communicator" skills to sell to America this wholly new vision of America. He transformed--in the hearts of minds of Americans--"what" America is, and "who" Americans even are. And it is this new generic non-identity that has disarmed the ability of Americans to resist the mass waves of immigration into America, the transformation of the American demographic, the destruction of the founding demographic, and the replacement of American workers with foreign labor. It solidified in the minds of Americans the lie that we are a multicultural, multiracial country--and that we were never anything else. And that to oppose immigration in any way other than whether it's "legal or illegal" is racist, xenophobic, hateful and un-American. Americans are powerless to stop the destructive transformation of America because they no longer believe in the founding narrative and identity of America. They believe a lie. And now America is becoming that lie.
