Trump also talked about his immigration policies, saying they “seem to work.” He reassured everyone that they’re being careful with deportations and stuff.

Oh, and Trump talked about this Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk. They’ve been cracking down on fraud and waste in the government. Trump claims they’ve saved billions and even made referrals to the Justice Department for fraud charges. Some peeps think they’ve been too reckless, but Trump says they’re doing what needs to be done.
