President Trump touches on Iran war, US economy and endorses candidate during Kentucky stop

President Donald Trump made a stop in Hebron, Kentucky, on Wednesday, and he had a lot to say about the economy and the Iran war, along with endorsing a Shelby County native for Congress.The message that President Trump delivered on Wednesday in Kentucky is that the U.S. economy is doing well in Kentuckians are reaping the benefits.”8,000 brand new construction jobs in Kentucky,” Trump said.President Trump mentioned the $2 billion investment Apple brought to central Kentucky and the $2 billion investment Ford has put into the Louisville Assembly Plant.”All because of the tariffs and the deductions,” Trump said.The crowd was enthusiastic during the president’s speech.For Cincinnati resident Ehsan Moghbelli, Trump’s comments on the war in Iran hit close to home. He says he lost two family members in the conflict, with more stuck in the warzone.”Their words exactly to us exactly: ‘we would rather die under American or Israeli bombs than be shot by our own government,'” said Moghbelli.While supporters were there to see Trump, some say they were interested in what local congressional candidates had to say.”I did not have the luxury of just being a Navy SEAL, I was an officer … so the buck stopped with me,” said Ed Gallrein, who is running for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District. “It’ll stop with me for you in Congress and in Washington, D.C., when I partner with President Trump.”Gallrein is running against Rep. Thomas Massie, who President Trump has publicly feuded with. That’s why Trump says he wanted to endorse Gallrein.”Give me somebody with a warm body to beat Massie. And then I got somebody with a warm body but also a big, beautiful brain and a great patriot he’s unbelievable,” Trump said.Dozens of other lawmakers and candidates for both the House and Senate were in attendance, including Andy Barr, Nate Morris, and Daniel Cameron. Trump acknowledged them but did not endorse them.
