BREAKING: America First UNITES with Trump in New Hampshire on eve of primary
“This is your home this is your heritage and our American liberty is your God-given right.”
“This is your home this is your heritage and our American liberty is your God-given right.”

Former president and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump took the stage in Laconia, New Hampshire on Monday night to speak to supporters on the eve of the primary in the Granite State. Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, MTG and Doug Burgum all joined him as the crowd chanted USA.
Just as Joe Biden reversed so many of Trump's policies and accomplishments on his first day in office, Trump promised to reverse Biden's efforts. In Ukraine, the Middle East, and domestically with EV vehicle mandates, DEI, and most notably immigration, Trump promised to restore America's strength. An American made "Iron Dome," such as the one that protects Israel, is also on the list of Trump's promises for national defense.
Trump directed his critique at both Nikki Haley and Biden. Haley, he said, is who the Democrats want to run against in the general election because they believe they can beat her. But the NH primary, he said, gives voters the opportunity to cast the most important ballot of their lifetime.
He promises to end the war between Ukraine and Russia on day one, to shut down the US-Mexico border where "drugs are pouring in." Trump said that New Hampshire has the highest drug use in the state per capita and asked where Governor Sununu is on that. "To stop the deadly drugs that are poisoning our people I will deploy the US Navy to impose a full fentanyl blockade," he said.

View on XTrump leaned into his record in the Middle East and on the world stage as well as in the US, where he put a sharp decrease on illegal immigration. "The border is a seive, it's an open wound," he said. "18 to 25, that's called prime time," Trump said, noting that so many of those coming into the US illegally are young men from across the world.
"All we want is an honest election, because if you don't have honest elections and strong borders you don't have a country," he said. Biden's "incompetence" is the "biggest threat we have," Trump continued.

"This nation belongs to you," Trump said in conclusion. "This is your home this is your heritage and our American liberty is your God given right. And I say this and I love this and I know your state's so well and have so many friends that live here from Meredith to Manchester, from Plymouth to Portsmouth and from Londonderry to Laconia. You inherit the legacy of red blooded New Hampshire patriots, he said. Live Free or Die."
While he lead with positivity, touting America's legacy, he moved into talk of America's decline.
"We stand on the shoulders of American heroes who crossed the ocean to settle the continent, tame the wilderness, laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscraper won two world wars defeated fascism and communism and made America the single greatest nation in the history of the world," he said to cheers.
But he quickly pivoted to saying that the US is "a nation in decline."
"We are a failing nation," he said, before discussing the problems the nation faces due to a decline in energy independence. And he called for the death penalty for the importation of drugs, calling it an act of kindness.

View on X"We are a nation that has lost his confidence lost his willpower and lost its strength," Trump said. "We are a nation that has quite simply lost his way. But we are not going to allow this horror to continue. Three years ago we were a great nation, and we will soon be a great nation again. It was hard working patriots like you who built this country. And it's hard working patriots like you, who are going to save our country. We will fight for America like no one has ever fought before."
As Trump ramped up to his conclusion, the crowd applauded, cheered, and goaded him on, saying with him "We will Make America Great Again."
