Address to the American People
My fellow Americans,

When you entrusted me with the responsibility of leading this nation, you did so with the expectation that your President would serve—not be served. Today, I want to speak plainly and directly about a principle that guides me every single day: public office is a public trust.

From this moment forward, and for the duration of my administration, not one dollar of the American people’s money will be spent for my personal benefit. Not for luxury, not for comfort, not for private indulgence, and not for any extraordinary item or experience that serves me rather than you.

The presidency is not a place for personal enrichment. It is a place for stewardship, discipline, and accountability. Every taxpayer dollar is earned by the hard work of American families, and I will honor that sacrifice by ensuring that your money is used only for the nation’s needs—not my own.

I will rely on my own resources for personal expenses. I will not authorize, request, or accept the use of federal funds to purchase or create anything for my private use. The government belongs to the people, and so does its treasury.

This commitment is more than a policy—it is a promise. A promise that your trust will never be taken for granted. A promise that the presidency will be conducted with integrity. A promise that your government will reflect the values of responsibility, restraint, and respect for the people it serves.

Together, we will build a future defined not by excess, but by purpose. Not by privilege, but by principle. And not by what a President can take, but by what a President can give.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

“Public office is a public trust. As President, I will not spend a single taxpayer dollar for my personal benefit. Stewardship, discipline, and integrity will define this administration—because your government should serve you, not itself.”
