“Some people—very smart people—are saying I caused a recession. And you know what? Maybe I did. Maybe I did! But let me tell you something, folks, only a true hero can shake up the system like that. The economy? It was too good, too easy. We had to test it, make it strong again. Like steel—tough, American steel! Obama never had the guts to do it, but I did. And now, we’re coming back, bigger, better, stronger than ever before! Believe me!”

“Some people—very smart people—are saying I caused a recession. Then others say what is a recession? Nobody knows. Some say it is a good thing, some say it is a bad thing. You know what people say. And you know what? Nobody can say it! But let me tell you something, folks, freedom is the most important and the smart people know, they know. The Biden economy? I had a look at it and i immediately saw it is bad. I asked everyone why is it so bad? And they didnt know. So we just made it great again! Obama never had the guts to do it, but I did. And now, we’re coming back, bigger, better, stronger than ever before! And nobody will stop us, not the drags or the trans or the queers. They say they ll stop us, but we cant be stopped. Fight, fight, fight”

Minor realism adjustments.
