                     PRESIDENT TRUMP'S GREAT SPEECH

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to one more time congratulate 
President Trump on a great speech last night. He is a great orator. I 
think of the six speeches I have heard him give in this Chamber. That 
was the best one yet.
  He did a great job of recounting the successes he has had in 
immigration, the successes he has had in healthcare, the successes he 
has had using the tax code to help out parents with children, which is, 
I think, the one area in life in which having a decent revenue stream 
is most important.
  However, he did lay out what is going to be a future conflict within 
the Republican Party, and it is important that our conservatives are 
aware of it.
  President Trump is conscious of the fact that as revenue comes in 
from the tariffs, there are people who are going to want to spend it 
and people who are going to want to lower other taxes. It is important 
that all true Republicans weigh in and double their efforts to make 
sure that we do not use any of these increased tariffs to increase the 
role of government in people's lives.
