President
Trump: ‘No citizen will be forgotten’
The
day he took office, President Donald J. Trump made a promise to the
American people. “The forgotten men and women of our country will
be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now.”
For
years, our government didn’t operate that way. Washington put its
own interests and grand plans above the basic, everyday needs of our
citizens. Outside the Beltway, “a different reality exists,”
President Trump said on Inauguration Day—children trapped in
poverty in our inner cities, rusted-out factories scattered across
our heartland, and crime and drugs rooted in too many of our
communities.
Today,
President Trump took another major step toward reversing that decline
and restoring the American Dream for all.
Speaking
from the Cabinet Room, the President kicked off the inaugural meeting
of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, which will
lead the Administration’s effort to renew hope and dignity in
distressed parts of our country. Scott Turner, a former NFL player
and state legislator, will oversee the Council’s work.
“This
is very close to my heart,” Turner said.
Fifty-two
million Americans live in economically distressed communities.
Despite the historic streak of job creation and wage growth under
President Trump, these areas are often plagued by high poverty
levels, failing schools, and a scarcity of jobs. To reverse their
fortunes, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created massive incentives
for investment in these places, creating jobs and opportunities where
they are needed the most.
The
early returns are incredible in these “Opportunity Zones,” which
cover 8,700 communities across all 50 states. Property sale prices
have soared more than 20 percent annually in these zones, building
wealth for the people who live there and encouraging more economic
activity in the process.
The
new Council, under Turner’s leadership, will build on this success.
“Our actions will directly improve the lives of countless
low-income Americans,” President Trump said today. “Together we
can lift up every forgotten community.”

Video
of the day: Smugglers push children through barbed wire barrier
On
December 18, U.S. Border Patrol captured footage of human smugglers
pushing family units through an old, barbed-wire section of border
fencing near Yuma, Arizona. The image of children being forced along
in this journey speaks louder than any words can.
This
is the crisis Congressional Democrats and their media allies don’t
want you to see—and the one President Trump is fighting to end.
