I met a man about 11 years ago who was running for office.

And he sat with us a couple of days.

And he watched as the tears rolled down my face as I told him the story of how our youngest son Joshua was brutally beaten, tortured, strangled to death, and his body set on fire.

The man next to me was President Trump.

He never, ever looked away from my pain.

He looked me straight in the eye and he said, I will never forget the story of your sweet son and I will never give up fighting for the American family.

I looked at him and I believed him.

And here we are these years later, and you can tell all of the work he's done.

He's never missed a day of fighting for the American family.

I don't know if I've ever met a man who is more interested in this country and running his country and getting it back in shape.

And I'm so grateful for what he does every single day.

As I told him the story of how our youngest son, Joshua, was brutally beaten, tortured, strangled to death, and his body set on fire.

The man next to me was President Trump.

He never, ever looked away from my pain.

He looked me straight in the eye and he said, I will never forget the story of your sweet son, and I will never give up fighting for the American family.

A new year means new financial goals.

Well, this is unexpected, but I think that a lot of people feel like that President Trump is maybe different than the version I've gotten to know.

And I just can't thank you enough.

You have said from the beginning, literally the day after this happened, that you would not forget about Lakin.

You weren't president at that time, and you have not forgotten.
