President-elect Donald Trump continued his "Thank You" victory tour on Tuesday, making a stop in North Carolina to tout his national security agenda and formally introduce his pick for Defense Secretary, retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis.

Speaking in Fayetteville, N.C., Trump called Mattis the "living embodiment of the Marine Corps motto" — Semper Fidelis.

In this speech,he reminded those who voted for him why they did so...we the American people want to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. and install American patriots instead of the liberal garbage that controls our federal government.

I liked how his comments tonight were not just a copy of the Ohio visit, it was lots of fresh stuff.
