Speaking without notes, Trump said his presidency was an ‘incredible four years.’…

‘It’s been something very special. We’ve accomplished a lot,’ Trump said, citing the installation of conservative judges, creation of the space force, development of coronavirus vaccines and management of a robust pre-pandemic economy. ‘I hope they don’t raise your taxes, but if they do, I told you so,’ he said of the Biden administration…

‘I will always fight for you,’ he told the crowd. ‘I will be watching. I will be listening.'”
