His speech is full of nonsense, including incomplete sentences, thoughts randomly pasted together, and contradictions.

As I’ve traveled around the world on our Fourth of July, many leaders of other countries assume we celebrate the Fourth of July because of our victory over the British in the Revolutionary War. But that They made a universal statement, applying to all mankind. They said, “We hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” free of any king or potentate, free of any foreign government.

The sentence "But that They made" isn't a sentence at all, and the "but" doesn't make sense in context; at least it's nice to know that foreign leaders knew we fought Great Briton, unlike apparently a fourth of Americans.

And our inalienable rights aren't just free of "any king or any foreign government" -- they are free of ALL governments. Our rights come not from government at all.
