ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — President Trump addressed a crowd in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Friday night, outlining his economic successes since taking office and criticizing the Biden administration’s legacy of “looting the Treasury” and fueling inflation.

WATCH:

“We inherited a mess,” Trump said during a Thursday Oval Office press conference. “Part of what we inherited was the worst inflation in 48 years—driving prices up. Now, we’re bringing those prices down.”

Key Achievements Highlighted

Trump previewed his speech, emphasizing:

  • Inflation reduction: “We’re bringing prices down.”
  • Border security: “Nobody can come into our country illegally anymore. They came in from prisons, mental institutions, drug dealers—a lot of bad people from all over the world. Now, that’s over.”
  • Reverse migration: Zero illegal crossings in seven months, 94% drop in drug trafficking, and reverse migration for the first time in 50 years.
  • Economic revival: 100% of new jobs in the private sector, shrinking the federal workforce to cut government bloat.

“The only reason our unemployment ticked up to 4.5% is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before,” Trump posted on Truth Social earlier Friday. “100% OF OUR NEW JOBS ARE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR! I could reduce unemployment to 2% overnight by just hiring people into the federal government, even though those jobs are not necessary.”

Restoring Law and Order

In his Wednesday address, Trump touted:

  • Military strength restoration.
  • Law and order in D.C. with federal troops and agents.
  • Ending Treasury “looting” by the previous administration.

$1,776 “Warrior Dividend” Announced

Trump unveiled a new benefit for U.S. troops: “In honor of our nation’s founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776.”

The Road Ahead

Trump’s North Carolina speech reinforced his 2025 agenda:

  • Lower prices.
  • Secure borders.
  • Private-sector job growth.
  • Reduced government waste.

“What I am doing is the only way to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he declared.

The economic revival, border security, and military support remain central to Trump’s platform—with North Carolina voters a key audience ahead of 2026 midterms.
