Trump took a swipe at the previous administration after speaking about the first soldiers who died at Bunker Hill.
"Those young men could never have known what their sacrifice would mean to us, but we certainly know what we owe to them. That valor gave us the freest, greatest and most noble Republic ever to exist on the face of the earth. A republic that I am fixing after a long and hard four years. That was a hard four years we went through," Trump said, prompting some applause from the audience.
"Who would let that happen? People pouring through our borders unchecked," he continued, though he did not explicitly mention his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, by name. "People doing things that are indescribable and not for today to discuss."
Still, Trump continued: "We will do better than we've ever done as a nation, better than ever before. I promise you that."
