Key quotes from President Trump's address to Congress
For the benefit of anyone who hasn't yet seen President Donald Trump's address to Congress, here are some of the key quotes from his speech:
"We are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms."
"Since my election, Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint, Softbank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart, and many others, have announced that they will invest billions and billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thousands of new American jobs."
"The stock market has gained almost three trillion dollars in value since the election on November 8th."
"I directed the Department of Defense to develop a plan to demolish and destroy ISIS. We will work with our allies, including our friends and allies in the Muslim world, to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet."
"America has spent approximately six trillion dollars in the Middle East. All the while our infrastructure at home is crumbling. With this six trillion dollars we could have rebuilt our country, twice. And maybe even three times if we had people who had the ability to negotiate."
"I am calling upon members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children."
"To break the cycle of poverty, we must also break the cycle of violence. The murder rate in 2015 experienced its largest single year increase in nearly half a century. In Chicago, more than 4,000 people were shot last year alone, and the murder rate so far this year has been even higher. This is not acceptable in our society."
"Democrats and Republicans should get together and unite for the good of our country, and for the good of the American people."
"We must work with - not against - the men and women of law enforcement. We must build bridges of cooperation and trust, not drive the wedge of disunity."
"My budget will also increase funding for our veterans. Our veterans have delivered for this nation, and now we must deliver for them."
"To those allies who wonder what kind of friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform."
"My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America."
"We are one people, with one destiny. We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same great American flag. And we are all made by the same God."
"I am asking all citizens to embrace this renewal of the American Spirit. I am asking all members of Congress to join me in dreaming big, and bold and daring things for our country. I am asking everyone watching tonight to seize this moment and believe in yourselves. Believe in your future. And believe once more in America."
President Trump also paid tribute to some of the heroes who died in the line of duty, and to others whose stories act as an inspiration to all Americans.
