President Trump spoke at a business luncheon in Washington and opened up by addressing the hot topic of the day: Illegal immigration.
Buckle up!
“All we need is good legislation and we can have it taken care of,” @POTUS says on immigration policy, blaming Democrats for “crippling loopholes that cause family separation, which we don't want.” https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/LQdXp612fh

"Mexico does nothing for us. You heard it here. They do nothing for us. They could stop it. They have very, very strong laws. Try staying in Mexico for a couple of days, see how long that lasts, okay?" @POTUS says on border crossings from Mexico https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/FUdsea8RqA

Pres. Trump references highly controversial comments from campaign announcement, in which he claimed Mexico was "not sending their best."
"I was badly criticized—'Oh it's so terrible what he said.' It turns out I was 100% right, that's why I got elected." https://t.co/rhxrpC29EQ pic.twitter.com/0UagUnYBgP

“Since last year, child smugglers, who are very sophisticated, have learned the loopholes in this horrible rotten system, that the Democrats have to help us fix,” @POTUS says. “We could have the Republican votes 100%, we still don't have enough votes.” https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/jYe8nS9Gm4

"We might as well get [immigration legislation] right, or let's just keep it going… We want to solve this problem, we want to solve family separation. I don't want children taken away from parents," @POTUS says at business luncheon https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/GTP33fVpql

.@POTUS: “I'm going to go, very shortly, for authorization that when countries abuse us by sending their people up — not their best [people] — we're not going to give any more aid to those countries. Why the hell should we? Why should we?" https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/8FeROsYOa9

He’s not wrong about that.
Pres. Trump: "We gotta stop separation of the families—but politically correct or not, we have a country that needs security, that needs safety, that has to be protected." https://t.co/LQ6K5ZcI94 pic.twitter.com/VCTy0tAQ4b

At one point, Trump talked about how much the media has mischaracterized him, and he was all, “I used to go home, I started disliking myself!”
“[Democrats'] only policy is ‘Donald Trump is a bad guy, he's a bad person, vote against him.’ And they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads. Nobody's ever been hit like that. I used to go home, I started disliking myself,” @POTUS says https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/URPkJpm2ix

HAHAHA. It was pretty funny. Like it or not, Trump has a good sense of humor.
He also talked about the IG report.
"I was never a 'deep state' guy. Let me tell you, we got some bad people that are doing bad things. When you read that I.G. report about how she got away with what she got away with, it's a disgrace. It's a total disgrace," @POTUS says on Hillary Clinton https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/YagCvxsbyV

"The whole thing is a scam. It's a scam. And what's happened is a disgrace," @POTUS says on congressional hearings on I.G. report https://t.co/4NzISpVeUJ pic.twitter.com/4Wgsb1QObv

Let’s be honest. I love Trump’s speeches, because it’s basically a better version of his twitter feed.
Update: The speech just ended, and there’s this!
