Former President Donald Trump delivered a passionate address at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, declaring that “we’ve saved our country” as he celebrated recent legislative victories. Speaking to a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, Trump reminisced about his previous successes in Iowa, noting his wins in the 2024 caucuses and the general election, where he claimed to have achieved the largest presidential victory in the state’s history.

Reveling in the Fourth of July spirit, Trump highlighted a recent congressional bill he described as a “big, beautiful” piece of legislation that includes the largest tax cut and spending reduction in U.S. history. He emphasized that the economic measures will benefit American families, asserting that the typical household’s take-home pay would increase significantly.

Trump’s speech also addressed immigration, reiterating his commitment to strong border security and the removal of undocumented immigrants, whom he described as criminals. He claimed that under his administration, illegal border crossings had reached historic lows. With a focus on family farms, Trump stated that the bill would eliminate the estate tax, allowing families to pass down their land without financial burdens.

The former president expressed confidence in his leadership, claiming that he had fulfilled more promises than he had made and that his administration had revived a sense of national pride and economic strength. He painted a picture of a resurgent America, ready to celebrate its 250th anniversary next year with a grand nationwide initiative called America 250, aimed at honoring the nation’s heritage and freedoms.

As Trump concluded his address, he called for unity among Americans and a return to traditional values, emphasizing his administration’s commitment to protecting liberties and rejecting radical ideologies. The event underscored Trump’s ongoing influence in the Republican Party and his aspirations for the future as he positions himself for a potential second presidential term.
