President Donald J. Trump stopped in Poland on his way to the G20 summit in his second foreign trip, since his inauguration. The twelfth G20 summit will convene in Hamburg, Germany on July 6 and 7. While in Warsaw, Poland, Trump gave a speech in Krasinskich (or Krasinski) Square, the site of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against Nazi Germany.

Before President Trump spoke, First Lady Melania Trump laid a wreath of flowers and spoke briefly and beautifully. Mrs. Trump’s message was that no one should live in fear. It was delivered eloquently.

In his own speech, Trump was interrupted constantly by chants of “Donald Trump” by the huge crowd. Mr. Trump reminded one, a little, of the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Polish by birth late Pope John Paul II, and the late President Ronald Reagan. President Trump reminded the world audience of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, and the 1979 visit of Pope John Paul II when the people of Poland chanted, “We want God”. ABC News reported (accurately):

“On both sides of the Atlantic, our citizens are confronted by yet another danger – one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some but familiar to the Poles. The steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people,” Trump said today in the historical Krasinski Square in Warsaw.

Trump listed the “steady creep of government bureaucracy” as part of his list of Oppressive Ideologies, along with Communism. Additionally, ABC reported:

“We must stand united against these shared enemies to strip them of their territory, their funding, their networks, and any form of ideological support,” Trump said to the Polish people, whose government has taken a firm stance against accepting Syrian refugees. “While we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism.”

Trump added, “We cannot accept those who reject our values, and who use hatred to justify violence against the innocent.”

I encourage you to watch the speech in full. Whatever you may think of President Donald J. Trump, in this 35 minute speech, he has done every American citizen and our Constitution proud. I am in awe.
