. @realDonaldTrump last night: "We are the country of Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Frederick Douglass. We are the land of Wild Bill Hickock and Buffalo Bill Cody. We are the nation that gave rise to the Wright Brothers, the Tuskegee Airmen, Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton...
"Jesse Owens, George Patton...the great Louie Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley, and Mohammad Ali. And only America could have produced them all. No other place.

Americans harnessed electricity, split the atom, and gave the world the telephone and the Internet.
"We settled the Wild West, won two World Wars, landed American astronauts on the Moon -- and one day very soon, we will plant our flag on Mars.

We gave the world the poetry of Walt Whitman, the stories of Mark Twain, the songs of Irving Berlin, the voice of Ella Fitzgerald...
"the style of Frank Sinatra, the comedy of Bob Hope, the power of the Saturn V rocket, the toughness of the Ford F-150, and the awesome might of the American aircraft carriers.
"Americans must never lose sight of this miraculous story. You should never lose sight of it, because nobody has ever done it like we have done it."
