MIAMI — A day after an electoral setback for his fellow Republicans, President Donald Trump sounded midterm campaign themes during an hour-plus address to a business and culture summit.
"After last night's results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear," the president said. "A choice between communism and common sense."
Trump's speech, on the anniversary of his comeback presidential election win, did not unveil any new initiatives, other than his threat to boycott this December's G20 gathering in South Africa due to his disagreements with the country's government policies.
Beyond that, Trump lauded record stock market returns, pledged trillions of dollars in foreign investment and what he termed another historic tax cut as part of the "one big, beautiful bill" that he signed into law this past summer.
Trump also declared victory on securing the border and defended the military strikes on vessels racing from Venezuela, alleging again that they are smuggling narcotics that kill Americans.
