Calling the United States "the world's oldest republic, the freest people, and the strongest nation," Trump stated, "By the grace of God, the United States of America is the most successful and the most exceptional nation in human history."

Claiming that American identity has been under attack in recent years, Trump said, "We will give our country its identity back."

You cannot be both."

Touching on the economy and foreign policy, Trump claimed that the country has attracted record levels of investment, saying, "Today, our country is experiencing the greatest period in its history." Referring to operations against Iran, Trump said, "We dealt Iran a heavy blow. Now they are eager to make a deal."
