“A million Polish people did not ask for wealth. They did not ask for privilege,” said Trump. “Instead, one million Poles sang three simple words: ‘We want God’. We can still hear those voices that echo through history. Their message is as true today as ever.”
“The people of Poland, the people of America, and the people of Europe, still cry out, ‘We want God,’” Trump continued. “This continent no longer confronts the specter of communism, but today in West, we have to say, there are dire threats to our security and to our way of life,” he said.
“The fundamental question of our time is: whether the West has the will to survive,” president Donald Trump declared.
“Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost?,” the president continued. “Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?”
President Trump family values as the key to Western civilization: “If we do not have strong families and strong values then we will be weak, and we will not survive.”
During his speech in Poland on Thursday, President Trump stood up for “our people” and “our civilization” and vowed that “the West will never, ever be broken.”
“Just as Poland cannot be broken, I declare today for the world to hear that the West will never, ever be broken,” Trump said before an endearing crowd.
“We write symphonies. We pursue innovation. We celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs and always seek to explore and discover brand new frontiers,” Trump said. “We reward brilliance. Strive for excellence and cherish inspiring works of art that honor God. We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression.”
“If we fail to preserve it, it will never, ever exist again. So we cannot fail,” he said.
“We will never back down,” Trump said. “As long as we know our history we will know how to build our future.”
“We are confronted by another oppressive ideology, one that seeks to export terrorism and extremism all around the globe,” Trump declared, denouncing jihad. “America and Europe have suffered one terror attack after another – we’re going to get it to stop.
“While we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism of any kind.”
“We are fighting hard against radical Islamic terrorism, and we will prevail,” he continued. “We cannot accept those who reject our values and use hatred to justify violence against the innocent.”
He warned that Europe was now in the midst of a “massive immigration crisis”.
