Trump predicted that Paul would run for office in the “not too distant future.” AP“And you have my complete and total endorsement,” the president added.
Paul, 29, was born and raised in neighboring Ohio.
He told the crowd that the president had taught him the value of “courage” and to “never back down from a fight.”
“We need more factories like this thriving all over the country,” Paul said. “And I know [Trump’s] going to be the one to bring that here to us.”
He added, “I know God is with us. I know he wants us on the right side of history, and everyone here has to do their part. And God’s got us. Trump’s got us. God bless.”
