For 250 years, America has proven that a free people, united by faith, courage, and opportunity, can achieve extraordinary things. Our history is not just a story of the past—it is a charge to carry the promise of liberty into the future. 🇺🇸
June 16, 2015: @realDonaldTrump rode down the golden escalator at Trump Tower and announced his campaign for President.
A moment many mocked became a movement that reshaped American politics and helped usher in a new Golden Era of American strength, prosperity, and patriotism.
Leslie and my hearts are heavy as we grieve with the families affected by the devastating plane crash in Butler, Missouri that claimed 12 lives.
I traveled to the scene today and just got off the phone with Secretary Duffy & the Department of Transportation office. The NTSB is on their way to begin a full investigation, and I will work to ensure they have every resource needed to get answers for the victims and their loved ones.
Right now, our focus is on supporting the families. We are here with them on the ground. The American Red Cross is providing assistance, and Osage Valley Electric Cooperative has opened its doors near the airfield to offer shelter and support during this incredibly difficult time.
Moments like this remind us how fragile life is. Missouri is strong, and we will stand together. Lifting up these families, honoring those we lost, & seeking the truth about what happened.
Please join us in praying for the victims, their families, & our brave first responders.
