President Donald J. Trump is touching down in Corpus Christi, Texas today, and he's bringing receipts. After just one year back in the Oval Office, the 47th President is ready to show Texans exactly what America First leadership looks like – and the contrast with the disastrous Biden years couldn't be more stark.
Gas Prices PLUMMET Under Trump
Remember when Joe Biden's policies sent gas prices skyrocketing to $4.69 per gallon? Those dark days are over, patriots. Under President Trump's energy dominance agenda, gas prices have cratered by more than $2 per gallon. Texans are now paying an average of just $2.60 at the pump, putting the Lone Star State in the top ten for cheapest gas in the entire nation.
This isn't an accident – it's the direct result of unleashing American energy production. U.S. oil and natural gas production have hit record highs under this administration. "Drill, baby, drill" isn't just a slogan; it's a policy that's putting money back in hardworking Americans' pockets.
The Largest Tax Cut in HISTORY
President Trump delivered on his promise with the One Big Beautiful Bill, and Texans are reaping the rewards. No Tax on Tips. No Tax on Overtime. No Tax on Social Security. These aren't just talking points – they're real relief for real families.
The numbers speak for themselves: Texas families will save an average of $4,009 on their taxes this year. But it gets even better. The Working Families Tax Cuts will increase take-home pay for Texas families by up to $10,700, with wages potentially rising by $6,900 over the next four years.
Real wages have already grown by $1,400 under President Trump, completely reversing the damage caused by four years of Biden-era inflation. And for the next generation? Trump Accounts will provide an unprecedented $1,000 investment for every baby born in Texas, with the potential to grow to $300,000 by the time they turn 18. That's generational wealth-building, folks.
The Border is FINALLY Secure
After four years of Biden's open-border catastrophe that turned Texas into ground zero for illegal immigration, President Trump has delivered the most secure border in American history. The results are undeniable: fentanyl overdoses have dropped by 20%, and ICE has arrested thousands of criminal illegal aliens off Texas streets – rapists, gang members, human traffickers, drug dealers, and murderers who never should have been here in the first place.
Texas is also receiving a $281 million investment in rural health care, because this President actually cares about Americans in every corner of the country – not just the coastal elites.
Billions Pouring Into the Lone Star State
While Democrats talk about "building back better," President Trump is actually getting it done. The investment announcements keep rolling in:
MP Materials is building a $1.25 billion rare earth magnet manufacturing campus in Northlake, creating over 1,500 jobs. Abbott Labs is pumping $500 million into Texas for research, development, and production. Paris Baguette chose Burleson for a $160 million manufacturing facility. LGM Pharma is expanding with a $6 million investment.
This is what happens when you have a President who puts America First – companies want to invest here, create jobs here, and build here.
Texas Democrats: Wrong on EVERYTHING
While President Trump is delivering wins for Texans, what are the state's vulnerable House Democrats doing? Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez – both representing districts Trump won in 2024 – have voted against the President at every single turn.
These radical Democrats have opposed tax cuts for working families, voted against funding for Texas hospitals, championed the gender mutilation of children, and consistently put illegal aliens ahead of American citizens. Texas voters gave them a clear mandate in 2024, and they're spitting in their constituents' faces.
The choice couldn't be clearer, patriots. President Trump is delivering lower prices, secure borders, historic tax relief, and billions in investments. Democrats are offering nothing but obstruction and radical ideology.
As President Trump takes his victory lap through Texas today, one thing is certain: America First is working, and the American people know it. The only question remaining is whether Texas Democrats will finally get the message – or whether voters will send that message for them in 2026.
