Update from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “It has been another very busy week here, so this may be over a minute, but let’s go over everything that happened here at the White House.
The President gave a record-breaking joint address to Congress where he laid out his bold vision to renew the American Dream. He introduced the world to DJ Daniel, a young boy fighting brain cancer who was sworn into the United States Secret Service. He honored Payton McNabb, a young woman who was brutally injured playing sports with a man who should have never been allowed to compete against her in the first place. And he honored the memory of Jocelyn Nungaray, a young girl who was murdered by illegal aliens, by renaming a wildlife refuge in Texas in her honor.
The President also honored Marc Fogel, an American hostage who President Trump freed from Russian captivity last month. Yet the Democrats stood for none of these incredible Americans and their heroic stories. They did not stand for no taxes on tips, the capturing of an ISIS terrorist, defeating inflation, unleashing American energy, or ending the fraud, waste, and abuse in our government.
Also this week, First Lady Melania Trump held a roundtable discussion on online protection and the “Take It Down” Act, a bill that will add protections for children who are targets of malicious online deep fakes and attacks.
This week, the President also kept his promise to the crypto industry, establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve and hosting prominent crypto voices for a roundtable at the White House.
We also had a historic jobs day, with nearly 20,000 manufacturing and automobile sector jobs created in one month. President Trump also met with eight of the recently released hostages from Gaza and heard their stories, and after that meeting, he made it clear to Hamas: release all of the hostages or else.
