July 22, 2026 President Donald J. Trump addressed a large crowd of supporters in Marietta, Georgia, on Tuesday, opening his remarks with a powerful rendition of the patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA.”In an energetic and wide-ranging speech, the 47th President highlighted the achievements of his administration over the past 18 months, declaring that the United States has entered a “Golden Age.”Strong Economic Growth and Record InvestmentsTrump boasted that his administration has secured $19.2 trillion in new investments from around the world in less than two years — a figure he contrasted sharply with the less than $1 trillion attracted during the entire four years of the Biden administration.Major announcements include:
- Toyota relocating production from Mexico to build its largest plant in the world in the United States.
- UCB investing $2 billion in its first American manufacturing plant in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
- Japanese and other international companies bringing billions in new projects to the state.
The President noted record-high employment, a surging stock market that has hit 73 all-time highs since the election, and significant gains in Americans’ 401(k) accounts — up an average of $34,000.Trump Accounts and Tax ReliefA centerpiece of the speech was the newly launched Trump Accounts — tax-free investment savings accounts for children. Every newborn American receives $1,000 from the government at birth. Families, grandparents, and employers can contribute up to $5,000 annually. Trump emphasized that these accounts will help give every young American a strong start toward the American Dream.He also highlighted major tax cuts passed by Republican majorities, including:
- No tax on tips
- No tax on overtime
- No tax on Social Security benefits for seniors
Border Security and Public SafetyTrump declared that the southern border, once the most open in U.S. history, is now the most secure ever. According to recent figures, zero illegal crossings have been recorded in the past 14 months. He reported sharp drops in crime nationwide, including the largest single-year decline in the murder rate in 125 years.The President also detailed significant reductions in fentanyl trafficking and praised law enforcement efforts to remove dangerous criminal elements.Foreign Policy and National StrengthTrump spoke about improved energy partnerships, including cooperation with Venezuela on oil production, and ongoing operations against Iran. He honored the memory of fallen U.S. service members, particularly Lieutenant Tyler Fihan, whose grieving family attended the event and traveled with him on Air Force One.He reiterated that America’s military is now the strongest in the world and that the nation is respected globally once again.Sharp Criticism of DemocratsThe President repeatedly criticized Democrats, calling their ideology “communism” and stating firmly: “The United States of America will never be a communist country.”He accused Senate candidate John Ossoff and congressional Democrats of voting against border security, tax cuts, Trump Accounts, and protections for women’s sports. Trump warned that Democratic policies would lead to higher taxes, open borders, and economic decline.Endorsements and Political RallyingTrump gave full-throated endorsements to several Georgia Republicans, including businessman Rick Jackson, who is running for governor and announced plans to match the federal $1,000 contribution to Trump Accounts with state funds. He also backed candidates for Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and Congress.Looking AheadIn his closing remarks, President Trump outlined his vision:
“We will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.”
The event featured appearances by benefiting families, business leaders, military representatives, and Atlanta Braves executives, underscoring themes of patriotism, family, and economic resurgence.Trump’s speech in Georgia served as both a victory lap on early-term accomplishments and a clear call to action for voters ahead of upcoming elections.
