He went up there to do the commencement speech. Let\u2019s start with audio sound bites.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair. You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted. But you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight. Never, ever, ever give up. Things will work out just fine. Look at the way I\u2019ve been treated lately. (laughter) Especially by the media. No politician in history &#8212; and I say this with great surety &#8212; has been treated worse or more unfairly. You can\u2019t let them get you down. You can\u2019t let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams. (cheers)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UGctk5AF1os\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I told you, the media, this was the first thing they highlighted. I saw graphics that &#8220;never give up, never, ever, ever give up, don\u2019t quit.&#8221; They\u2019re ticked at that. They can\u2019t believe it. They think Trump is talking to them. They think Trump is being audacious. How dare him? He\u2019s supposed to cave. He\u2019s supposed to be quivering and cowering in the corner in fear, and this just made them mad. How dare he stand up to us? Here\u2019s the next sound bite.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Adversity makes you stronger. Don\u2019t give in. Don\u2019t back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. And the more righteous your fight, the more opposition that you will face. I\u2019ve accomplished a tremendous amount in a very short time as president.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Uh-oh.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Jobs are pouring back into our country.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Uh-oh.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: A brand-new Supreme Court justice who\u2019s going to be fantastic for 45 years.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, no.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: A historic investment in our military, border crossings &#8212; thank you to our general &#8212; are down more than 70% in just a short period of time, a total record, by the way, by a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-233917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051717-Trump-Coast-Guard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051717-Trump-Coast-Guard.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051717-Trump-Coast-Guard-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>RUSH: You know, the stock market was down earlier today. I don\u2019t know &#8212; let me check real quick here. I have no idea what it\u2019s done since the program started. Down 304? Right. Okay. There\u2019s a lot of room for the stock market to lose ground and still end up way ahead. The point is that a bunch of people are blaming Trump. &#8220;Trump\u2019s causing the market to &#8212; the market\u2019s crashing \u2019cause of Trump, Trump\u2019s dangerous, Trump\u2019s killing us, Trump\u2019s destroying us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And some people were saying the stock market\u2019s all Trump had. If the market starts going, that\u2019s the end of Trump. I reminded them of things he said. Are you aware of some of the actual progress we\u2019re making, the reversal of fortunes we\u2019re making? I go down the list, some of the things Trump mentioned. They\u2019re not, until you remind \u2019em. &#8220;Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.&#8221; And guess what? I have a story here in the Stack of Stuff that\u2019s got a chart. I hate charts. I\u2019d rather get words, but people insist on sending me charts.<\/p>\n<p>So I waded my way through this chart. Only 75% of it printed out. It\u2019s a chart from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Do you know what it\u2019s projecting? Economic growth, second quarter &#8212; we\u2019re in it right now &#8212; 4%. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is projecting 4% economic growth in the quarter we\u2019re now &#8212; do you realize how long it\u2019s been that we\u2019ve had 4% economic growth in any period? It never happened in eight years of Obama. He may have topped out at 3% for one quarter, but he was steady at one and a half, one and a quarter percent. It hasn\u2019t happened yet, but they\u2019re projecting 4% growth.<\/p>\n<p>Illegal immigration down. It\u2019s actually closer to 85% now. Jobs are coming back; manufacturing is coming back. I make a point every day to try to focus on some of the positives. Oil production is up. OPEC is begging us to cut back. Things that are not being reported.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: One more Trump sound bite here today from his commencement speech at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: We are setting the stage right now for many, many more things to come &#8212; and the people understand what I\u2019m doing, and that\u2019s the most important thing. I didn\u2019t get elected to serve the Washington media or special interests. I got elected to serve the forgotten men and women of our country, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right on, right on. &#8220;I didn\u2019t get elected to serve the Washington media or special interests.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They think Trump is talking to them.
