Referring to Democrats as "leftist communists," Trump called on all Republicans to vote for Republican candidates in the Nov. 3 congressional midterm elections.
In the Iran-related part of his speech, Trump argued that the US had gone to war with Iran to prevent the country from obtaining nuclear weapons, saying: "We are winning this war."
"Once we win the ongoing war with Iran, oil prices will fall. We will win this war," Trump said.
Claiming that the US controls trade in the Strait of Hormuz, he added:
"I think we should give the Strait of Hormuz another name. We should call it the 'Trump Strait.'"
Emphasizing the issue of renaming the Strait of Hormuz, Trump continued:
"That's what it will be called, ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to make an announcement on that, we're going to call it the 'Trump Strait,' and I'm sure the leaders of Iran will be very pleased about it."
