President Donald Trump’s administration victories and former President Joe Biden’s failures were a couple of Trump’s talking points during his speech at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony in New London, Connecticut.

Trump spoke Wednesday afternoon to the military graduates.

“We can never forget the sins of what they did to our country,” Trump said while discussing the Biden Administration’s handling of the border. “But we are getting them out.”

Trump then touted his administration’s deportation of 11,888 murderers who entered the country illegally. He also boasted, “not one illegal alien was able to get into our country” during an 11-month stretch.

“They can come in, but they have to come in legally. They have to come in through a process. They have to love our country,” Trump said. “They have to show us they can love our country, not that they want to blow up our country. I think everybody agrees with that.”

Watch:

President Trump slams open border policies that flooded America with violent illegals:

The president also applauded his own administration for having the lowest amount of murders since 1900, and that “we have more people having great jobs today than at any time in the history” of the USA. 

Should Trump's speech at the Coast Guard Academy focus on his administration's achievements?

Trump continued, stating the U.S. had received “$18 trillion” in new investments in the past 11 months. This is compared to about $1 trillion the Biden administration garnered during its four-year run.

“We have the American dream back,” Trump said. “You didn’t hear about the American dream too much for four years.”

Trump then turned his attention to tariffs, stating “fake news” got him in trouble when he said “tariff” was his favorite word, rather than something like “wife” or “family” or “Bible.” 

Trump said he changed his answer so that “tariff” was in his top five words.

“Now I’m OK,” he said.
