THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, everybody. Very, very much appreciated. Weve had a tremendous day today in the Middle East. We were a little bit unconventional, and we did something that nobody has been able to do for many, many years. Theyve been trying to put things together. So we went the unconventional way, and they had some fighting and they said, We dont like this fighting too much. This is a little more difficult than people thought.
But I want to thank President Erdoğan of Turkey, and I want to thank the Kurds and Kurd leadership. I want to thank certain other countries that, behind the scenes, were helping us out. And its a tremendous thing.
ISIS is totally under control, and were continuing to capture more. We have a tremendous situation worked out in so many different ways. And its an honor to have been involved in it.

Were joined also by Jared and Ivanka, who are both here today as where is Ivanka? Jared? Stand up. What a good job you do. (Applause.) Even though theyre related to me, just slightly, I will tell you, what a job. Ivanka is responsible for 14 million jobs this year, over the last couple of years, with companies going out and training people. And its been an incredible success.
She started off two and a half years ago; she wanted 500,000 jobs. Thats a lot. But it was typical Ivanka. It ended up and now, the number, I think it just crossed 14 million jobs going to Walmart, going to ExxonMobil, going to the great companies. And they train people. And the numbers are incredible, and thats one of the reasons that our numbers are so good. Thank you very much.
And, Jared, great job youre doing. Thank you very much, both.

Workers here will have great pay, quality healthcare, 401(k)s. And, by the way, the 401(k), since my election, have gone through the roof. And nobody wants to see them be cut in half, go down 82 percent. Theyre going to go up. Theyre only going in one direction, but they are up 70, 80, 82, 91 percent. Theyve been up. And when they go and get to go and press that lever to vote for who I have a feeling were going to do very well very well as weve done in Texas and as we did in 2016, in Texas. One of the reasons I love this state so much. And also, profit sharing.

"ISIS is totally under control, and we're continuing to capture more."
AYFKM ????
ISIS is NOT under anybody's control and thanks to his paralyzing stupidity, over 60 high value ISIS prisoners were allowed to escape and are now re-grouping somewhere, probably to massacre American personnel still in the region.
HOW MANY people have to die before this STUPID, INCOMPETENT buffoon is removed ?
