It’s got to be the gooiest Soap Opera of all presidential campaigns—the first ever event with Joe Biden and Barack Obama teamed up on a split screen in the 2020 campaign.
“Love you Joe,” Mr. Obama signed off.
“Love you too, pal,” Mr. Biden said.
‘Hate you Mr. Trump’ was only felt—as it has been for the past four years—so didn’t have to be said directly.
With that kind of love will Biden, if elected 2020 president, allow Obama run the White House show by providing his former beloved boss his still coveted Third Term?
Nothing much to be seen on television during the long days and nights of government-mandated lockdowns, and showmen Obama and Biden know that more than most.
“Former President Barack Obama and his vice president, Joseph R. Biden Jr., on Tuesday held their first joint event of the 2020 campaign, where Mr. Obama warned Democrats against becoming complacent about the presidential election and offered an unusually direct and detailed rebuke of President Trump.” (New York Times, June 23, Updated: July 23, 2020)
“The split-screen appearance of the presumptive Democratic nominee and his former boss came as Mr. Biden has enjoyed a run of strong fund-raising, while a spate of recent polls have shown him holding as much as a double-digit lead over Mr. Trump. Mr. Biden’s campaign announced Tuesday that the event had raised $7.6 million from 175,000 grass-roots contributors.
“But Mr. Obama instructed the 120,000 people who logged on to watch that they must not take the election for granted.
“We can’t be complacent or smug or sense that somehow it’s so obvious that this president hasn’t done a good job, because look, he won once,” Mr. Obama said.
“This is serious business,” he added. “Whatever you’ve done so far is not enough. And I hold myself and Michelle and our kids to that same standard.”
And God only knows that the Obamas always put themselves first.
Sneaky, covert Obama, who’s really been running for the 2020 election since the first day after Donald Trump’s Inauguration, has finally come out of hiding as “Resistance” leader out into the open.
Black Lives Matter and Antifa will see the return of Obama to the White House as poetic justice.
“Throughout their joint appearance, which ran a little over an hour, Mr. Obama — who speaks infrequently about Mr. Trump — praised Mr. Biden’s character and experience, and cast the president as a grave threat to the character and values of the nation. (NYT)
“He said that Mr. Trump exploited and amplified divisions, and expressed concerns about the example he was setting on the world stage, citing his “militarized response to peaceful demonstrators” and saying he “basically threatens and consistently impugns the free press.”
“Such an approach, he suggested, emboldened dictators around the world who may doubt they will be held to account by the United States.”
“Exploited and amplified divisions”? “militarized response to peaceful demonstrators”?
How’s that for Marxist Projection 101?
“As Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden assembled onscreen, campaigning virtually amid the coronavirus crisis, Mr. Trump was on the trail in Arizona, a few days after holding a rally in Tulsa, Okla., that drew widespread condemnation from public health officials. (NYT)
“Unlike our current president, we recognize that we have a public health crisis going on,” Mr. Obama said, acknowledging that campaign volunteering may look different during the coronavirus outbreak.”
The coronavirus outbreak is a perfect cover to run an election campaign in cyberspace.
“Chuckling incredulously, he invoked the nation’s top infectious disease expert. (NYT)
“Poor Dr. Fauci, who’s having to, you know, testify and then see his advice flouted by the person he’s working for,” Mr. Obama said.”
“In April, after Mr. Biden had effectively wrapped up the Democratic nomination, Mr. Obama released a video endorsing his former running mate, urging party unity around Mr. Biden’s candidacy and making overtures in particular to the younger, liberal supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
“On Tuesday, he spoke directly to younger Americans who are pressing for structural changes to address matters from racism to economic inequality to global warming.
“There is a “great awakening” among young people in particular, he said, who are “fed up with the shambolic, disorganized, mean-spirited approach” to governance in recent years, and want to tackle “some of the core challenges that have been facing this country for centuries.”
Don’t those centuries include the eight long years Obama was in the Oval Office but failed to deliver on his promise for ‘Hope and Change’?
Biden, who seems to be running his presidential race for the election of Barack Hussein Obama, already thinks his former boss is already president.
“Mr. Obama also headlined a smaller virtual gathering Tuesday for big donors that raised another $3.4 million. (NYT)
“Throughout the grass-roots event, Mr. Biden frequently expressed agreement with his former boss, whom he called “Mr. President,” as they discussed issues including health care access and foreign policy.
“They bantered some about Mr. Biden’s age — 77 — and the former vice president invoked the baseball player Satchel Paige. In Mr. Biden’s telling, Mr. Paige’s philosophy toward age was, “‘How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?’ I agree with Satchel Paige, I’m 50,” Mr. Biden said.
“He also spoke passionately about the need to fight racism and spoke expansively about the evolution of civil rights in America. In the 1960s, he said, white Americans saw shocking images of the police like Alabama’s Bull Connor attacking black Americans with fire hoses, “and they’re going, ‘Oh my God. It really is happening.’ They saw it in black and white, no pun intended, because that’s what most TVs were at the time.”
“In contrast to the 1960s, he said, when it comes to civil rights and civic engagement, “this time around there is a much broader participation.”
“That level of engagement gave both Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden hope, they said.”
The level of engagement may give both Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden hope—but it gives millions of Americans a chill down their spines.
This is one love fest aiming to put Obama back in the White House for a third term and seeking revenge for Hillary Clinton who never got over her humiliating loss to Donald Trump in 2016.
Meanwhile ‘Days of Our Lives’ is a much better Soap Opera than the Joey & Barry Show.
President Obama and Vice President Biden: A Socially Distanced Conversation
The 15-minute video, posted online Thursday, is the latest effort to get the former president more involved in the 2020 campaign as his former vice president tries to rebuild Obama’s winning coalition. Obama has promised an active role on the campaign trail this fall.—WLOS, July 23, 2020
If Joe Biden is the best the Democrat Party has to offer their constituents as the best candidate for POTUS, Democrats are in serious trouble. But, are they? Except for the seemingly endless investigations into the Deep State coup d’état, and except for the recent autocracy of Democrat governors of states imposing their unconstitutional lockdown mandates on their residents, and except for the major ineptitude of the Democrat mayors of major cities in the United States in handling, or enabling, the Marxist insurrection currently underway, it seems their candidate may be doing just fine. He may be the best foot forward for the Democrats in 2020. Those concerned with his apparent ineptitude and grip on reality must look at the bigger picture.
By election time, only Black lives matter. And, to appease their white guilt the Democrat leaders will provide a black female as their candidate for Vice-President
Joe Biden is safe—no chance of being exposed to COVID-19, as he is just like many others who are just average Americans; just an average Joe who is safer in his basement—under lockdown orders from a Democrat leader. He is also easy to “handle”——he represents average Americans who really do not know too much about the economy, or politics, or even reality for that matter. In fact, Joe Biden may resemble his nationwide constituents in several vital ways. He certainly will listen to and believe in all that the mainstream media expect him to believe about their news reporting. And, if he gets confused about the true words of the Declaration of Independence, the MSM will bail him out. In fact, it is in their job description to bail out any and all Democrat leaders. So, no real problem with Joe Biden running for POTUS, come to think of it.
In fact, it makes much more sense when examined in the proper light. When American citizens in major cities get tired of the “Feds” interfering in the soft, made for television Marxist uprising or insurrection, they will be overjoyed with a non-Fed Fed becoming POTUS. Most will not have any concerns that he has been a Fed for several decades because they will be tired of the red Feds and be overjoyed to elect a blue Fed. It won’t matter. In fact, the only thing that will need to be understood at the time of the election is that Black lives matter. All citizens will know that by election time, only Black lives matter. And, to appease their white guilt the Democrat leaders will provide a black female as their candidate for Vice-President.
How is it that this all makes sense now?
Actually, one has to use the trick of transparency that former President Obama promised his Administration would provide while in office. Of course, he was not able to provide complete transparency during his tenure as POTUS, but that does not matter now. Only black lives Matter; remember?
Obama’s Organizing for Action is still organizing for Obama’s fundamental change to America
Of course, there are variations on this theme. For instance, Joe Biden would likely say that Black lives matter only when they vote for Democrats; otherwise, those who are Black are “not really black.” Black Lives Matter terrorists and a majority of their supporters would say that indeed Black lives matter, but only after a Black person’s life has been taken by a White police officer (not just any color of a police officer) it has to be a White police officer. And, it must be clarified that Black unborn babies in the mother’s womb truly do not matter because there are exponentially more lives of black babies lost each year than the black lives that are lost due to a White police officer.
Additionally, it must be clear only such Black lives matter in those circumstances, and it is only after the person dies that their life then matters. Also, it must be clear that all lives do not matter because if a Black Lives Matter supporter hears those words, it could be hazardous to the total health of the speaker. Unfortunately, it took a courageous young white girl to be proof of that by being shot dead for vocalizing “all lives matter.” Long live the memory of Jessica Doty Whitaker.
What Americans may have realized by now is that former President Obama also wants to live long in citizens’ memories because he is still organizing for “hope and change” for America. His Organizing for Action is still organizing for Obama’s fundamental change to America. Actually, citizens should be grateful that former President Obama is providing transparency as he leads the shadow government from his home in Washington, D.C. It is actually taking quite a long time to investigate how his Administration actively spied on candidate Donald Trump’s campaign due to the lack of transparency, but that is more than made up for by the fingerprints he is leaving in the upheaval occurring now.
Can one honestly now wonder why the MSM is describing homegrown terrorist organizations as “peaceful protestors”
Just as former President Obama announced to the world while he traveled to Egypt, not long after he took office, that the United States was no longer a Christian nation. It was quite a bold announcement to the non-Christian people of the world—especially to Muslim militants as well as atheistic anarchists who had great interest in testing whether Obama’s assertion was literally true. And, often when a Muslim terrorist attack occurred in the U.S., the MSM did not label the attacks as militant Muslim inspired attacks because that would test the tolerance of the Christian community. Instead, those events were labeled “man-made disasters,” or “isolated events,” and genuine evidence of gun initiated violence that had to be curtailed.
So today, that which happened during Obama’s Administration that was not readily transparent can now be easily seen through the magic of “transferred transparency.” Can one honestly now wonder why the MSM is describing homegrown terrorist organizations as “peaceful protestors,” who once in a while may let off a little steam. Is it any wonder that Democrat governors have mandated that any churches that dare to open, will not permit honest to goodness worshipping of God during the Sunday services? Is it any wonder that Democrat mayors have a very “light touch” in responding to the violence in their cities? This is not random mayors in random cities, and this is not random governors in random states. These are Democrat mayors and Democrat governors, and it all bears the fingerprints of the former POTUS.
In the magic of “transferred transparency,” these events bear the fingerprints of the former POTUS
Why should one wonder when Democrat mayors and Democrat governors have condemned the efforts of peaceful protests from Christians over opening their churches, from conservatives over opening their businesses, and from patriots over losing their freedoms; yet, those same political figures condone the violent protests of the angry mobs that loot and trash and burn? It is known that former President Obama met with the leaders of the BLM effort and praised their “work” in the community. It is also known that he appreciated the participation of the New Black Panther Party when they were charged with intimidating citizen voters at the polls. Remember, it is only black lives that matter? In the magic of “transferred transparency,” these events bear the fingerprints of the former POTUS.
Why should one wonder when former President Obama is helping his former vice-president to get elected to POTUS? And, by the time Americans have been thoroughly indoctrinated that only Black lives matter, former President Obama will likely help Joe Biden once more: by suggesting that Michelle Obama be his running mate. So, come to think of it, Joe Biden might just be the best candidate for the Democrats in 2020. It is truly the only way the former president can take his “rightful position as the “true leader” of the United States once again. Finally then, everyone will fully realize that only Black Communist Presidents Matter.
Seriously folks, we must do everything in our power to reelect our remarkable president. This election is our last stand to save America as founded. America is counting on you
My patriotic mood began re-watching Whitney Houston’s spectacular performance of our National Anthem at Super Bowl XXV in 1991. Whitney’s rendition was re-released as a single after the 9/11 terrorists attacks. She donated all proceeds to charity.
“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”— Abraham Lincoln
Wow! Lincoln said it right there in his Gettysburg address that America was founded upon the principle that all men are created equal. Leftist schools have taught our kids for decades that America was founded by evil white guys with no desire for equality. Yes, it took awhile to reach our goal of equality for all Americans; 600,000 dying in the Civil War to free the slaves and years of civil rights battles paved the way to elect our first black president. But, we got there folks. We got there!
“The thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is he will die on his feet before he’ll live on his knees.” —George Washington
I pray that Christians will stop kneeling to wicked cultural demands and begin standing up again for Godly principles. Far too many youths are Marxist zealot domestic terrorists because we’ve allowed leftist schools to poison their minds about their God, their family and their country. Outrageously, across America “yutes” are scolding, lecturing and punishing their parents for being Christians, patriotic Americans and gun-owners.
“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”—Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.
Black s Matter, ANTIFA and various other anti-christian and anti-American hate groups do not want “brotherhood” as desired by Dr King. They want to punish white America. They demand that whites physically kneel to blacks and beg forgiveness for their sin of being born white. The people in these groups are wicked and must not be tolerated. At the top of your lungs, scream the word, “No!” to them.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.—Psalm 33:12
America is a Christian nation, brilliantly and divinely founded upon biblical principles. Stating this truth enrages BLM and ANTIFA causing them to vomit green-slime and their heads to spin around backwards. Evil is repulsed by good. Alexis de Tocqueville said “America is great because America is good.”
Folks, in these final months leading up to the November election, the Democrat/communist party will launch every wicked scheme in their depraved playbook to attack the American people to stop them from reelecting one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history, Donald J. Trump.
We have so much work to do. This is all hands on deck. This election is our last stand to save our founding father’s divinely-inspired vision of America. Please talk to your neighbors, family and friends encouraging them to vote for Trump. Let them know what is at strike. Here is a list of 42 crazy disastrous things Biden will implement if elected.
I’ve awakened 2am in the morning, turned on my TV and have encountered lie-filled news stories trashing Trump. The hits on Trump just keep on comin’. This is what we are up against folks.
A large percentage of the country get their news from mainstream (fake news) media. Consequently, they are clueless regarding many important issues.
For example: My sister is one such low-info Christian voter. I recruited her awesome alto voice to sing in the choir at the recording session of my Trump Train 2020 song. The choir was mostly white, all Trump supporters. She noticed that they were good friendly everyday people, not the rabid racists portrayed by media. Her eyes popped out of her head in disbelief when I told her San Francisco gives tourists maps to avoid the piles of human feces on the streets left by vagrants. She had no idea that Trump was responsible for black unemployment being its lowest in U.S. history.
We flew many of our singers from the east coast to California to perform in the Trump Train 2020 song music video. Upon landing in California, my sister was stunned to see the “all gender” restrooms with signs welcoming transgenders at the airport. This opened the door for me to educate her about the extreme LGBTQ agenda that Biden and the Democrats want to implement across the country. My buddy, Robert Kirk, brilliantly exposes the wacko California LGBTQ mandates in his award-winning comedy short film, “Nightmare in Paradise.”
I suspect my sister will vote for Trump. In the Trump Train 2020 music video, she is the beautiful black woman singing the solo line, “Don’t you feel the engines roar!”
Please spread the Trump Train 2020 music video far and wide to counter Neil Young’s song, “We Got to Vote Him Out!”
I am the eldest of 4 boys and one girl. My sister was Dad’s princess. He purchased her first car, a brand new Fiat. He made me work to purchase my first “used” car. The good news is Fiats were lemons; just kidding.
Seriously folks, we must do everything in our power to reelect our remarkable president. This election is our last stand to save America as founded. America is counting on you.
Georgia Democrat Congressman John Lewis, 80, the leader of the 2017 Democrat agenda to boycott the inauguration of President Trump, died last night from pancreatic cancer.
On January 13, 2017, representative John Lewis (D-GA) stated President-elect Donald Trump was “not a legitimate president” and led 70 congressional members to boycott the inauguration.
WASHINGTON – Rep. John R. Lewis, the civil rights icon whose fight for racial justice began in the Jim Crow south and ended in the halls of Congress, died Friday night.
The son of Alabama sharecroppers, Lewis served in Congress for more than three decades, pushing the causes he championed as an original Freedom Rider challenging segregation, discrimination and injustice in the Deep South – issues reverberating today in the Black Lives Matter movement. (read more)
There has been no discussion whatsoever publicly by the Democrats concerning the competency of a Joe Biden administration in Washington. Biden’s competency is one of the early stage of dementia, which is likely a degenerative disorder that will only get worse.
Realistically, they have been keeping him “in the basement” because he is just unpredictable after comments like “120 million” have died from coronavirus and that “150 million” are unemployed. There are some who want to surround him with competent people as they did with Bush Jr. But Bush Jr. could make a speech. The search for a VP to compensate for this is not very reassuring. Then there are still the die-hard Hillary supporters arguing only she can beat Trump.
There is, of course, the 25th Amendment, Section 3, which states that presidents can declare themselves “unable to discharge the powers and duties of their office.” A strict reading brings in the question with dementia, can we count on a president declaring themselves incompetent?
Former New York Mayor and ongoing lawyer for President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss current political events, and specifically the ongoing increase in crime within New York City.
As the former mayor outlines, the massive increase in crime is directly related to policies now enacted by current Mayor Bill deBlasio. Police are being constrained from law enforcement, and the criminal elements are taking advantage.
Oh the hypocrisy! Democrats have no shame or morals and the Fake Noose Media will never call them out!
But we will!
Rep. Ilhan Omar called for the dismantling of not just our nation’s economy, but the entire political system. Add to that her support of “defunding the Police” and the “Breathe act” she is sponsoring along with the rest of the radical marxist “Squad” members.
Omar railed against the American economy system as being a “system of oppression” and scolded Americans that we cannot allow people to “prioritize profit without considering who is profiting.”
Yes, let’s consider that Rep. Omar.
Who is profiting?
Let’s ask your husband Tim Mynett. Mymett runs a consulting company that Omar has paid a massive $878,000.00 to for “consulting” and emails and such. You know the drill. The nepotism runs deep in Washington DC and is present in both parties.
What upsets us the most is this is all perfectly legal under the laws designed by politicians for politicians to enrich themselves.
Just ask Nancy Pelosi.
Or Hunter Biden.
Or Jared Kushner.
If you REALLY wanted to stop politicians from “prioritizing profit without considering who is profiting” you may want to look in the mirror Rep. Omar.
QUESTION: What does the new Supreme Court decision on the electoral college really mean? Does this prevent Hillary from becoming the candidate?
HF
ANSWER: It means that the delegates must vote for the popular vote in their state, based only on the national election. Nevertheless, this does not address what if Joe Biden were to slip and fall or somehow become mentally disabled after the primary elections yet before the Democratic Convention. This is the electoral college that only comes into play with the actual national election and does NOT involve the primaries.
This also does not disturb the fact that, should there be a tie in the Electoral College, this is what is called a “contingent election” where the election of the president then goes to the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one vote for one of the top three contenders to determine a winner. This took place only twice so far in history during the election of 1800 and 1824.
Ghislaine will “never” be allowed to “Tell” us who she and Epstein had as Customers in their pedophile club.
Joe Biden has a problem and it’s not just his dementia. Ghislaine Maxwell could spill the beans on a great many Democrats as well as on a legion of left-leaning celebrities who support Joe. More scuffing added to Joe’s already tarnished image won’t help his presidential chances. Joe has long been seen as a pedophile that likes to grope children in public. One would think Joe would be aware of this negative public perception and refrain from such pawing, but he just can’t help himself and that’s a very bad sign.
Joe may look a little like the retired game show host Bob Barker, but he lacks Bob’s grace, character, and quick wit. Joe Biden is a disaster on wheels and Maxwell’s testimony will only make him look worse. Joe is the pick of the powerful elite, so Ghislaine (pronounced Gee-lane with a hard g) has to be worried. We all know what happened to her best friend Jeffrey Epstein. The elite running the world still don’t want to risk outright exposure. Even though many of us already know they are satanic fiends and pedophiles, they won’t hesitate to snuff people out to keep their kabuki theaters and Potemkin Villages moving along. Remember Epstein’s multi-millionaire pal Steve Bing? Some of Bing’s friends urged him to tell the world what he knew about Epstein and the pedophile ring. He ended up getting tossed from his high-rise luxury apartment. The elite-owned mass media dutifully called it a “suicide.” Yeah. Sure.
As I’ve mentioned before, sociopaths such as Epstein and Maxwell don’t kill themselves because they feel no guilt. In their minds they’ve done nothing wrong and they love themselves too much to commit suicide. However, their powerful overlords are even more sociopathic and won’t hesitate to pull the plug. Again.
U.S. President Trump and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will be holding a joint press conference prior to signing a joint declaration celebrating the initiation of USMCA in the Rose Garden. Anticipated start time 3:30pm ET
UPDATE: Video and Transcript Added
.
[Transcript] – PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, thank you very much, everyone. It’s a nice hot day, to put it mildly — (laughter) — so we’ll make this quick. But it’s all very positive — that, I can say.
And it’s my tremendous pleasure to welcome everyone to the White House with my good friend, President López Obrador of Mexico. We’ve had a very outstanding relationship.
Mr. President, we’re truly moved that you chose to make your first foreign visit since taking office — very successfully taking office, I might add — to be with us at the White House.
The relationship between the United States and Mexico has never been closer than it is right now. And as the President said a little while ago, people were betting against that. They were actually betting against that. But it’s never been stronger, never been closer. We’re doing a tremendous job together.
We’re cherished friends, partners, and neighbors. Our cooperation is founded on mutual trust and mutual respect between the two of us and between our two countries. And we honor the great dignity of both nations.
With this visit, President López Obrador and I have the opportunity to strengthen the bond we afford since his impressive election victory more than two years ago — a victory the Vice President and Ivanka joined in celebrating at the swearing-in. That was a very exciting day for them.
Each of us was elected on the pledge to fight corruption, return power to the people, and put the interests of our countries first. And I do that and you do that, Mr. President.
The tradition of great respect between Mexican and American Presidents goes back to the early days of both of our nations. And, in particular, it includes President Abraham Lincoln and President Benito Juárez, who each held one another in very, very high esteem. They were great friends and they did great things together. And we are grateful that, this morning, President López Obrador laid a wreath at the memorials that stand to each of these leaders, right here in our nation’s capital. That was a very beautiful, beautiful ceremony.
Our countries are linked by trade and travel, by history and culture, by faith and family. The United States is home to 36 million incredible Mexican American citizens. Mexican Americans uplift our communities, and they strengthen our churches and enrich every feature of national life. They are hardworking, incredible people. They are also great business men and women, and make up a big percentage of our small-business owners — and very successful. They’re very, very successful. They’re like you: They’re tough negotiators and great business people, Mr. President.
Working alongside President López Obrador, we’re taking this relationship to new heights and building a powerful economic and security partnership. Together, we have addressed many of the most complex issues facing our two countries that really went unresolved for many years — and, frankly, far too long. It should have been resolved long before I got here. But we’re achieving great strides and remarkable breakthroughs in strengthening our relationship for decades to come.
With everything that we have accomplished, the potential for the future of the United States and Mexico is unlimited. Far, far greater situation, really, for both countries than anyone thought possible.
Today we celebrate the historic victory we achieved together just days ago when NAFTA was officially terminated — one of the worst trade deals in history — and replaced with a brand-new, beautiful USMCA.
We want to thank Canada, also. I spoke with and will be speaking to the Prime Minister in a little while.
While NAFTA slashed wages and eliminated jobs, the USMCA includes groundbreaking labor protections for workers in both nations. This landmark agreement will bring countless jobs from overseas, back to North America, and our countries will be very big beneficiaries. We are already seeing the fruits because it started. It’s the largest, fairest, and most advanced trade deal ever reached by any country, and it will bring enormous prosperity to both American and Mexican workers and Canada. We want to thank everybody. We’ll have a separate day with Canada. They’re coming down at the appropriate time. But we want to congratulate Canada and the people of Canada, the Prime Minister.
But this has been a tremendous achievement. It’s actually the largest trade deal ever made. And we made a big one with China too, but this is the largest trade deal ever made.
Our two governments are also in close cooperation to stop the illicit cross-border flow of drugs and guns, cash, and contraband, and very importantly, stopping human trafficking.
We’re forging critical partnerships across the Western Hemisphere to combat the cartels and the smugglers and to ensure safe, humane, and lawful migration. And we’ve been helped greatly by Mexico on creating record numbers, in a positive sense, on our southern border. It’s been really, very, very tight and done a great job.
And I want to thank the Secretary, who’s here. We have a — Chad, you’re here someplace. Where is Chad? What a good job you’re doing, Chad. Great job. We’re proud of you. And you’ve worked very closely with Mexico. I know you were just telling me what a great help they’ve been, right? Thank you very much, Chad.
We’ve also worked closely in the battle against the coronavirus, together saving countless — thousands of lives. It’s been my honor to help Mexico procure 600 ventilators, and it’s going to be a higher number than that. They needed them very badly, and we were able to make them. We’re making thousands a week, and we’re helping a lot of countries. But one of the first, and maybe the first that I spoke to, was Mexico. We have a lot of them in Mexico saving a lot of lives. And, Mr. President, we’re in this fight together, and we’re doing very well.
Just a couple of things on that: I’m proud to further announce that the U.S. is, by far, number one in testing — number one in the world in testing — and that the mortality rate is the lowest, or just about the lowest of any nation anywhere in the world.
And we’re safely reopening our country, and very importantly, we’re safely reopening our schools. We want the schools to be open and going in the fall. And most of them, I think, are looking at it that way. It’s very important. We’re finding out that learning by computer is not as good as learning in the classroom or learning on the campus. And I think you’re finding that too. We want to learn in the classroom. So, our schools — we want them open in the fall.
Following President López Obrador’s remarks, we’ll sign a joint declaration committing ourselves to a shared future of prosperity, security, and harmony. This is truly a proud moment in history for both of our nations, Mexico and the United States.
With this signing, we pledge the close and continued friendship between the United States and Mexico, and we accelerate our progress toward an even greater tomorrow — and that’s what’s happening: a greater, maybe even a far greater tomorrow — with a prospering region, a flourishing hemisphere, and two sovereign nations thriving, growing, and excelling side by side, working together — and that’s what we’ve been doing.
Mr. President, we look forward to hosting you for a beautiful dinner later on this evening with some of your friends from Mexico and some of our great friends from the U.S. And it’s an honor to have you with us.
And, please, we’d love to have you say a few words. Thank you. Thank you very much.
PRESIDENT LÓPEZ OBRADOR: (As interpreted.) Friends, ladies and gentlemen, I truly celebrate this meeting with you, President Trump.
My visit, to a great extent, has to do with the importance right now, in these times of world economic crisis, the importance of the entry into effect of the Mexico-U.S.-Canada Agreement, to make by Spanish acronym, “USMCA.” Having been able to close this deal constitutes a great accomplishment benefitting all three nations and our peoples.
As it is well known, North America is one of the most important economic regions of the planet. However, our region is inexplicably a region of trade deficits. We export to the rest of the world about $3.6 trillion, but we import about $4.2 trillion. That is, we have a deficit of $611 billion, which is translated into capital flight, less opportunities for companies and businesses, and job source losses.
This new agreement seeks to reverse this imbalance through greater integration of our economies and improvements in the functioning of productive chains to recover the economic presence that North America has lost in the last five decades. Suffice it to say that, in 1970, the region constituted 40.4 percent of the world GDP. And now, this share in the global economy has gone down to 27.8 percent.
That’s why this agreement is a great option to produce, create jobs, and foster trade without having to go so far away from our homes, cities, states, and nations. In other words, import volumes of our country’s imports to the rest of the world may be produced in North America at a lower transportation cost with reliable suppliers — reliable vis-à-vis the companies, of course — and the utilization of regional labor force…
Of course, it’s not a matter of closing our countries to the world. It’s a matter of taking advantage of all the advantages that we have because we’re neighbors, as well as the enforcement of a good policy of cooperation for development.
This agreement allows us to attract investments from other places of the hemisphere, bringing those investments to our countries, provided we comply, we honor the principles of reducing merchandises with high regional content, and also trying to have salary and labor conditions that are fair conditions for our workers of the exporting or importing countries of consumption goods.
It’s also important to point out that this agreement signifies the integration of all three countries, because we’re all contributing with productive capacity, markets, technology, experience, expertise, highly skilled labor force, and we end up complementing each other. For instance, Mexico has something which is extremely valuable to make this economic integration effective and to boost this integration — economic and commercial integration — in the region. I’m talking about this very young, creative, and responsible labor force.
Let us not forget that the participation of workers in productive processes is just as important as the role of businesses and companies. It really would be not good for us to have capital and technology if we don’t have good workers that are outstanding workers because of their imagination, their talent, and their mystique when they do their work.
On the other hand, with this type of agreement — and respecting our sovereign states — instead of distancing ourselves, we are deciding, we’re opting to walk together towards the future. We want to privilege understanding. That’s why we’re united. And we’re setting aside differences, or we are solving those differences through a dialogue and mutual respect.
Certainly, in the history of our relations, we’ve had perhaps moments in which our minds have not been together. And there are — there have been problems that are not yet forgotten. However, we’ve been able to establish explicit agreements of cooperation and coexistence. For instance, in the ‘40s of last century, during the Second World War, Mexico helped meet the needs of the United States in terms of the raw materials needed by the United States, and it gave its support with the labor of migrant workers that were known as the braceros.
Since then, and until now, we’ve been consolidating our economic-commercial trade relationship, as well as our very — very peculiar coexistence, cohabitation, sometimes as distant neighbors and other times as very affectionate and close friends.
And it is also a well-known history of geopolitics, this neighborhood we have and economic circumstances of both of our nations have promoted, in a very natural manner, a process of migration of Mexican men and women coming here to the United States. And here we’ve been able to create a community of about 38 million people, including the children of Mexican parents. It is a community of good, working people — good people, working people who have come here to make a living in a very honest fashion. And they have so much contributed to the development of this great nation.
Furthermore, in Mexico, more than in any other country of the world, we have in our society a million and a half of U.S. citizens. They live there, and they’re part of our society. So we’re not just united by geographic proximity; we have economic commercial, social, cultural, and ties of friendship, President Trump.
As in the best times of our political relationship, during my mandate as President of Mexico, is that of remembering this insults and things like that from — against me. We have received from you, President Trump, understanding and respect. People — some people thought that our ideological differences would inevitably lead to confrontations. Fortunately, this has not been the case. And I believe that, towards the future, there will be no motive or need to break our very good political relationship or the friendship between our two administrations.
The best president Mexico has ever had, Benito Juárez García, as you have mentioned, had a good understanding with the great Republican President, Abraham Lincoln. Let us remember that this great, historic leader of the United States, who was the promoter of the abolition of slavery, never recognized Emperor Maximilian imposed in Mexico through the intervention of the powerful French army.
It is no coincidence that Juárez lamented Lincoln’s murder in the United States, saying, I quote, “I have deeply felt this disgrace because Lincoln, who was constantly working in such a determined manner for the complete freedom of its fellow men, was worthy of a better fortune or luck.” End of quote.
The same thing happened with the splendid relationship that Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had with our patriot president, General Lázaro Cárdenas. The same situation took place. And after the oil expropriation, in a letter, General Cárdenas recognized the good understanding — the good bilateral understanding as follows: He said, “My administration believes that the attitude of the United States of America, in the case of the oil company expropriation, reasserts once more the sovereignty of the peoples of this continent that with so much efforts have been maintaining the situation and the position of his Excellency, Mr. President Roosevelt.” End of quote.
So with all proportions and all the circumstances, with different circumstances, history tells us that it is possible to understand each other without arrogance or extremisms.
Now that I have decided to come to this meeting with you, President Trump, we had a good debate in my country on the convenience of this trip. I decided to come because, as I have already expressed, it is very important for us to be launching this new agreement.
But I also wanted to be here to thank people of the United States, its government, and thank you, President Trump for being increasingly respectful with our Mexican fellow men.
And to you, President Trump, I want to thank you for your understanding and the help you’ve given us in issues related to trade, commerce, oil, as well as your personal support for the acquisition of medical equipment that we needed urgently to treat our patients of COVID-19.
But what I mainly appreciate is that you have never sought to impose anything on us violating our sovereignty. Instead of the Monroe Doctrine, you have followed, in our case, the wise advice of the lustrous and prudent President George Washington who said, quote, “Nations should not take advantage of the unfortunate condition of other peoples.” End of quote.
You have not tried to treat us as a colony; on the contrary, you have honored our condition as an independent nation. That’s why I’m here to express to the people of the United States that their President has behaved with us with kindness and respect. You have treated us just as what we are: a country and a dignified people; a free, democratic, and sovereign people.
Long live the friendship of our two nations. Long live the United States of America. Long live Canada. Long live our America. Long live Mexico. Long live Mexico. Viva México. (Applause.)
