Full speech | President Trump addresses the military at Fort Bragg

On Friday, February 13, 2026, President Donald Trump visited Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to campaign for Michael Whatley and floated moving there with First Lady Melania Trump.
With the 2026 midterms looming, Trump visited Fort Bragg to campaign for Michael Whatley, promoting military support and attacking Democrat Roy Cooper over a disputed prison settlement theory.
Trump promised the U.S. would invest over a billion dollars to improve on-base housing and warned Democrats would `decimate our military`, saying `It's very important, because our military has to be protected`.
During the Fort Bragg event, Michael Whatley called Trump `the best president` and praised the endorsement.
The Charlotte Observer showed local reporting disproved claims linking Roy Cooper to DeCarlos Brown Jr.'s early release, while Republicans made the 2025 killing a campaign issue and the White House announced weekly trips in 2026.
