Trump Jr. pushes father's nationalist message during speech at Univ. of North Texas event

ARLINGTON — Nearly 700 people gathered on the field AT&T Stadium to hear Donald Trump Jr. talk politics, media and the state of higher education.

The son of President Donald Trump pushed his father's nationalist message that won him the election: "In international affairs, the United States needs to put its citizens first."

Donald Trump Jr. talked about international conflicts over the past 20 years, from the Iraq War to the attack in Benghazi, Libya, to frame how his father is changing the nation's approach on the foreign stage. This is how he framed the first portion of his remarks: He and his father are nationalists prioritizing the United States' interests above those of other nations.

"The last 20 years are what Winston Churchill called 'the years the locusts ate,'" he told people spread across 76 tables on the AT&T Stadium field where the Dallas Cowboys play their home games. "The years where we ignore our true national interest and our countrymen, that has now come to a stop. We're not going to put other countries ahead of us any longer."

basically campaigning. I would love to know what Churchill would say about Trump, since he respected Roosevelt. He didn't like Ambassador Kennedy though.

to open the doors or turn on the AC.

I also heard that Jerry Jones was charging the customary $50 fee for parking. Valet service was $250.

Did Jones ride in Djr's limo with him?


So Djr was paid $100,000 for the event, regardless if it was held, or cancelled.
