    Thank you, President Trump, for this opportunity, and for the courage you display every day. You are an inspiration to so many Americans. Thank you to my beautiful wife Candy; my children; my grandchildren; and all my family and friends for their constant love and support.

    Serving in the Trump Administration has been the honor of a lifetime. Only in the land of opportunity can a poor, inner city boy go on to become a brain surgeon, a candidate for President, and then, one day, a Secretary.

    I have seen firsthand the dedication of my staff, and I have been so incredibly moved by the efforts from the HUD team over the last four years to elevate America’s forgotten men and women.

    The governing philosophy, which guided all of our work at , is simple: freedom works better than regulation; self-sufficiency is superior to dependence; and liberty is most achievable when it is derived of the people, by the people, for the people.

    Both President Trump and I shared a new vision for , one which was one built on measuring success not by how many people we added on to government assistance, but how many people we were able to lift up, off government assistance and onto the path of self-sufficiency.

    It was this spirit that drove Dr. King’s passionate belief that America is not an irredeemable nation, stained by its sins, but instead it is a promise of hope, prosperity, and liberty.

    Dr. King reminds us in his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” that those fighting for Civil Rights were not fighting against America; instead, they were “in reality standing up for the best in the American Dream.”

    Dr. King also understood that these inalienable rights were etched into the very core of the American idea. He knew that his work was not to establish a new truth, but to extend the application of this undeniable truth to all U.S. citizens, regardless of race or color.

    Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of the great figures of American history. He was a bold and fearless leader in America’s Civil Rights Movement, and he was a courageous champion of inalienable rights for all Americans.

    You want to ban , fine you’re a private company, but deleting the President’s account which highlights this admin & its history is wrong. & banning all images from the Capitol riot is a dangerous precedent to set. We aren’t in China.

    Silencing a significant number of voters and erasing history is no way to unite us; it only further divides. Big tech & social media platforms want to act like media orgs but don’t want to be held accountable with the rest of media. Speech should be free whether you agree or not.

    As a Nation we need to heal. I have not talked to anyone about invoking the 25th Amendment, and I am focused on finishing what I started in uplifting the forgotten women and men of America. It’s time to move toward peace. We are not each other’s enemies!

    End this violence now. Violence is never an appropriate response regardless of legitimate concerns. Please remember: if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
