Following the meeting, Trump emphasized the party’s cohesion, stating, “There’s tremendous unity in the Republican party.” He stressed the importance of border security, a robust military, and avoiding unnecessary spending globally.
This marks Trump’s first meeting with congressional lawmakers since his New York conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. During the discussion, Trump addressed issues that he plans to focus on during his campaign, highlighting the severe impact of inflation. “We have inflation that’s killing everybody,” he said. “We have levels of inflation that nobody has seen before.”
Trump also criticized the current administration’s foreign policy, stating that the U.S. does not look strong on the world stage. He praised the senators he met with, calling them “very smart people.” Among the attendees were Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Rick Scott (R-FL).
“They want this country to be great again and we’re gonna make it great again,” Trump asserted. He emphasized that the GOP is committed to addressing the concerns of the American people and restoring the country’s standing both domestically and internationally.
This meeting comes as Trump continues to solidify his position as the GOP frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election. His focus on unity and addressing key issues resonates with many conservative voters, reinforcing his message of making America great again. As the campaign progresses, Trump’s interactions with GOP lawmakers will be pivotal in shaping the party’s strategy and objectives.
