President Trump Participates in a Rose Garden Dinner. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA. From the legs of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea, from Detroit down to Hston and New York to LA. Will is bright in every American heart. And it's time we stand and sing. And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the man who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA. And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.

God bless the USA. >> Well, thank you very much. Nice place. You used to have to stand on very very soggy earth and we replaced it with a very similar stone to what the White House is and it's become quite a place. It's become a place that's just very festive and nice and we're celebrating the great success of our country and we have so many events here. We also have news conferences. We used to have news conferences and the women would leave with their shoes like this. Their shoes were destroyed and the men's shoes were destroyed also. They just didn't want to show it. But, uh, it's been great. And outside, as you see, we just completed what I think is the most beautiful helellipad anywhere in the world. I think most of you have seen it. So beautiful that I didn't even get sued. You know, they came over. The radical left came over. They looked and they said, "That's beautiful." They couldn't believe it, actually. But we needed it for many, many years. They uh wanted a helipad. And we built the best telepad people have. Nobody's ever seen one like that done with the military. And right behind you is the ballroom military complex. And it's uh it's really something special. And when that's opened, uh we uh we're going to have some great they've wanted that for 150 years. They've wanted I can tell you the military for a hundred. But the uh the presidents have wanted it for a long time. As an example, on September 24th, we have President Xi coming of China and he'll come in and we have a grand total of about 98 seats in the White House and we have about 2,000 people. If we had that ballroom open, we could have we could handle it, but uh so it's going to be very tough. It's going to be very very tough to handle that one, but uh we'll work it out. But we only have we have less than a 100 seats and he's very he's an outstanding guy and a lot of people would like to be there. I'd like to have him. So, uh we'll see how that all works ou
