Ill Come Again Ugly Beats 45

Wow. Whoa. That is some group of people. Thousands.

And so dainty, thank you very much. That'southward really nice. Thank you. It'south bully to be at Trump Belfry. It's dandy to exist in a wonderful metropolis, New York. And it's an honor to accept everybody here. This is beyond anybody'southward expectations. There'due south been no oversupply similar this.

And, I can tell, some of the candidates, they went in. They didn't know the air-conditioner didn't piece of work. They sweated like dogs.

They didn't know the room was too big, considering they didn't have anybody there. How are they going to beat ISIS? I don't recall it'south gonna happen.

Our state is in serious problem. We don't have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don't have them. When was the concluding fourth dimension everyone saw us beating, allow's say, Cathay in a trade bargain? They kill usa. I crush China all the fourth dimension. All the time.

When did we beat Japan at anything? They send their cars over past the millions, and what do we do? When was the concluding fourth dimension yous saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo? It doesn't exist, folks. They beat out us all the fourth dimension.

When do nosotros beat Mexico at the border? They're laughing at us, at our stupidity. And at present they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. Merely they're killing u.s.a. economically.

The U.S. has go a dumping footing for everybody else's problems.

Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When United mexican states sends its people, they're not sending their all-time. They're non sending you. They're non sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with u.s.. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing criminal offense. They're rapists. And some, I presume, are good people.

Only I speak to border guards and they tell united states what nosotros're getting. And it only makes mutual sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending the states not the correct people.

It'southward coming from more Mexico. Information technology's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably— probably— from the Middle East. But nosotros don't know. Considering we accept no protection and we take no competence, nosotros don't know what'due south happening. And it's got to stop and it'due south got to finish fast.

Islamic terrorism is eating upwards large portions of the Centre E. They've go rich. I'thou in competition with them.

They simply congenital a hotel in Syrian arab republic. Can you believe this? They built a hotel. When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They don't accept to pay involvement, considering they took the oil that, when we left Iraq, I said nosotros should've taken.

So now ISIS has the oil, and what they don't have, Iran has. And in 19— and I will tell you lot this, and I said it very strongly, years ago, I said— and I dearest the armed forces, and I want to have the strongest military machine that we've always had, and we need it more than now than ever. Only I said, "Don't hit Iraq," because you're going to totally destabilize the Heart Eastward. Iran is going to take over the Eye Eastward, Iran and somebody else volition get the oil, and it turned out that Islamic republic of iran is at present taking over Iraq. Recollect of it. Iran is taking over Iraq, and they're taking it over large league.

We spent $2 trillion in Republic of iraq, $2 trillion. We lost thousands of lives, thousands in Iraq. We take wounded soldiers, who I love, I love — they're great — all over the place, thousands and thousands of wounded soldiers.

And we take nix. We can't fifty-fifty go there. We have nothing. And every time we give Iraq equipment, the showtime time a bullet goes off in the air, they leave it.

Last week, I read 2,300 Humvees— these are big vehicles— were left behind for the enemy. 2,000? You would say perhaps two, maybe four? 2,300 sophisticated vehicles, they ran, and the enemy took them.

Last quarter, it was merely announced our gross domestic production— a sign of force, right? But not for the states. Information technology was below zero. Whoever heard of this? Information technology's never below zero.

Our labor participation charge per unit was the worst since 1978. Simply think of it, Gross domestic product below zero, horrible labor participation rate.

And our real unemployment is anywhere from eighteen to xx percent. Don't believe the 5.6. Don't believe it.

That's right. A lot of people up there can't get jobs. They can't get jobs, because in that location are no jobs, because China has our jobs and Mexico has our jobs. They all have jobs.

But the real number, the real number is anywhere from 18 to xix and maybe even 21 percentage, and nobody talks almost it, considering it'southward a statistic that'southward total of nonsense.

Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger past the way, and we as a state are getting weaker. Even our nuclear arsenal doesn't work.

Information technology came out recently they accept equipment that is 30 years old. They don't know if it worked. And I thought it was horrible when it was broadcast on tv set, because boy, does that transport signals to Putin and all of the other people that wait at us and they say, "That is a grouping of people, and that is a nation that truly has no clue. They don't know what they're doing. They don't know what they're doing."

We accept a disaster called the large lie: Obamacare. Obamacare.

Yesterday, it came out that costs are going for people up 29, 39, 49, and even 55 percent, and deductibles are through the roof. Y'all have to exist hit by a tractor, literally, a tractor, to use it, because the deductibles are so loftier, it's virtually useless. Information technology's nigh useless. It is a disaster.

And recall the $5 billion website? $5 billion nosotros spent on a website, and to this day it doesn't work. A $5 billion website.

I take and so many websites, I take them all over the place. I hire people, they do a website. Information technology costs me $iii. $5 billion website.

Well, you need somebody, because politicians are all talk, no action. Nothing's gonna get done. They volition not bring us— believe me— to the promised land. They will not.

As an instance, I've been on the circuit making speeches, and I hear my fellow Republicans. And they're wonderful people. I similar them. They all want me to support them. They don't know how to bring information technology about. They come to my office. I'm meeting with iii of them in the side by side week. And they don't know— "Are you running? Are you non running? Could nosotros have your support? What do we do? How do nosotros do it?"

I similar them. And I hear their speeches. And they don't talk jobs and they don't talk Cathay. When was the terminal fourth dimension you heard Mainland china is killing us? They're devaluing their currency to a level that you wouldn't believe. It makes it incommunicable for our companies to compete, incommunicable. They're killing us.

Merely yous don't hear that from anybody else. You don't hear it from everyone else. And I watch the speeches.

I watch the speeches of these people, and they say the sun will ascension, the moon will set, all sorts of wonderful things will happen. And people are saying, "What's going on? I just want a task. Only get me a chore. I don't demand the rhetoric. I want a chore."

And that's what'southward happening. And information technology'southward going to get worse, because remember, Obamacare really kicks in in '16, 2016. Obama is going to be out playing golf game. He might be on one of my courses. I would invite him, I actually would say. I have the best courses in the world, so I'd say, you what, if he wants to— I have 1 correct next to the White House, correct on the Potomac. If he'd similar to play, that's fine.

In fact, I'd love him to go out early on and play, that would exist a very good matter.

But Obamacare kicks in in 2016. Actually large league. Information technology is going to be amazingly destructive. Doctors are quitting. I accept a friend who's a doctor, and he said to me the other solar day, "Donald, I never saw anything like it. I accept more than accountants than I have nurses. It'south a disaster. My patients are beside themselves. They had a plan that was good. They have no plan now."

We accept to repeal Obamacare, and it can be— and— and it can be replaced with something much better for everybody. Allow it be for everybody. Simply much ameliorate and much less expensive for people and for the regime. And we tin do it.

So I've watched the politicians. I've dealt with them all my life. If yous can't brand a good bargain with a pol, then at that place's something wrong with you. You're certainly not very good. And that's what nosotros take representing united states. They will never make America great over again. They don't fifty-fifty have a risk. They're controlled fully— they're controlled fully by the lobbyists, by the donors, and by the special interests, fully.

Yes, they control them. Hey, I have lobbyists. I accept to tell you lot. I have lobbyists that can produce annihilation for me. They're great. Only you know what? it won't happen. Information technology won't happen. Because we take to stop doing things for some people, only for this country, information technology'due south destroying our country. Nosotros take to stop, and it has to stop at present.

At present, our country needs— our state needs a truly great leader, and nosotros need a truly corking leader now. Nosotros need a leader that wrote "The Art of the Bargain."

Nosotros need a leader that tin can bring dorsum our jobs, can bring back our manufacturing, can bring back our military, can have care of our vets. Our vets have been abandoned.

And we also need a cheerleader.

You know, when President Obama was elected, I said, "Well, the 1 thing, I think he'll do well. I recollect he'll be a great cheerleader for the country. I call back he'd be a great spirit."

He was vibrant. He was young. I really thought that he would be a swell cheerleader.

He'due south not a leader. That's true. You lot're right about that.

But he wasn't a cheerleader. He'southward really a negative force. He's been a negative force. He wasn't a cheerleader; he was the opposite.

We demand somebody that tin accept the brand of the U.s. and make information technology great once again. It's not cracking again.

We need— nosotros need somebody— nosotros demand somebody that literally will take this country and make information technology great again. We can exercise that.

And, I will tell you lot, I love my life. I take a wonderful family. They're proverb, "Dad, you're going to do something that's going to exist so tough."

You know, all of my life, I've heard that a truly successful person, a really, really successful person and fifty-fifty modestly successful cannot run for public role. But can't happen. And yet that'southward the kind of mindset that you need to make this land great over again.

Then ladies and gentlemen…I am officially running… for president of the United States, and nosotros are going to make our state great again.

It tin can happen. Our country has tremendous potential. We have tremendous people.

Nosotros accept people that aren't working. We have people that have no incentive to piece of work. Just they're going to have incentive to work, because the greatest social plan is a job. And they'll exist proud, and they'll beloved it, and they'll brand much more than they would've ever made, and they'll exist— they'll be doing so well, and nosotros're going to be thriving as a state, thriving. It tin can happen.

I volition be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. I tell you that.

I'll bring back our jobs from Mainland china, from Mexico, from Japan, from so many places. I'll bring back our jobs, and I'll bring dorsum our money.

Right now, think of this: We owe Cathay $1.3 trillion. We owe Japan more than that. So they come in, they take our jobs, they take our coin, and then they loan u.s. dorsum the money, and we pay them in involvement, and and so the dollar goes up so their bargain's even better.

How stupid are our leaders? How stupid are these politicians to allow this to happen? How stupid are they?

I'm going to tell you— thank you. I'm going to tell you a couple of stories about trade, because I'yard totally against the merchandise bill for a number of reasons.

Number one, the people negotiating don't have a clue. Our president doesn't have a clue. He'south a bad negotiator.

He's the one that did Bergdahl. We get Bergdahl, they get five killer terrorists that everybody wanted over there.

We get Bergdahl. We go a traitor. We become a no-good traitor, and they get the five people that they wanted for years, and those people are now back on the battleground trying to impale usa. That's the negotiator we accept.

Take a wait at the bargain he's making with Iran. He makes that deal, Israel maybe won't exist very long. It'due south a disaster, and nosotros take to protect Israel. Merely…

So nosotros need people— I'thou a costless trader. But the problem with free trade is you need really talented people to negotiate for you. If you don't have talented people, if y'all don't have slap-up leadership, if y'all don't have people that know business, not just a political hack that got the job considering he made a contribution to a entrada, which is the way all jobs, just nigh, are gotten, free trade terrible.

Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people, but we accept people that are stupid. We have people that aren't smart. And we have people that are controlled past special interests. And it's just non going to work.

Then, hither'due south a couple of stories happened recently. A friend of mine is a great manufacturer. And, you lot know, China comes over and they dump all their stuff, and I purchase it. I buy it, because, bluntly, I accept an obligation to buy it, because they devalue their currency and so brilliantly, they just did information technology recently, and nobody thought they could practice it again.

Just with all our bug with Russia, with all our problems with everything— everything, they got away with it again. And it's impossible for our people here to compete.

Then I desire to tell you this story. A friend of mine who's a neat manufacturer, calls me up a few weeks ago. He's very upset. I said, "What's your trouble?"

He said, "You know, I make great production."

And I said, "I know. I know that because I buy the production."

He said, "I can't get information technology into Mainland china. They won't take it. I sent a boat over and they really sent information technology dorsum. They talked virtually environmental, they talked about all sorts of crap that had nothing to do with it."

I said, "Oh, wait a minute, that'south terrible. Does anyone know this?"

He said, "Yeah, they do it all the time with other people."

I said, "They transport it dorsum?"

"Yes. So I finally got it over there and they charged me a big tariff. They're non supposed to be doing that. I told them."

Now, they do charge you tariff on trucks, when nosotros ship trucks and other things over there.

Enquire Boeing. They wanted Boeing'due south secrets. They wanted their patents and all their secrets before they agreed to purchase planes from Boeing.

Hey, I'1000 non saying they're stupid. I like China. I sell apartments for— I only sold an apartment for $15 1000000 to somebody from China. Am I supposed to dislike them? I own a large chunk of the Bank of America Edifice at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, that I got from China in a state of war. Very valuable.

I love China. The biggest bank in the world is from China. You know where their U.s.a. headquarters is located? In this building, in Trump Tower. I dear Cathay. People say, "Oh, you lot don't like People's republic of china?"

No, I love them. But their leaders are much smarter than our leaders, and we can't sustain ourself with that. In that location's as well much— it's similar— it'southward like accept the New England Patriots and Tom Brady and have them play your loftier schoolhouse football squad. That's the divergence between China'southward leaders and our leaders.

They are ripping us. We are rebuilding China. Nosotros're rebuilding many countries. China, you go at that place now, roads, bridges, schools, you never saw anything like it. They accept bridges that brand the George Washington Bridge look similar pocket-size potatoes. And they're all over the place.

We have all the cards, only we don't know how to use them. We don't even know that we have the cards, considering our leaders don't sympathize the game. Nosotros could turn off that spigot by charging them taxation until they behave properly.

Now they're going militarily. They're building a military island in the middle of the South China body of water. A military island. Now, our country could never do that because we'd have to become ecology clearance, and the environmentalist wouldn't let our state— we would never build in an sea. They congenital it in about i twelvemonth, this massive armed forces port.

They're building upwardly their military to a bespeak that is very scary. You have a problem with ISIS. You have a bigger problem with Mainland china.

And, in my opinion, the new China, believe it or not, in terms of trade, is Mexico.

Then this man tells me well-nigh the manufacturing. I say, "That'southward a terrible story. I hate to hear it."

Merely I accept another one, Ford.

So Mexico takes a company, a automobile company that was going to build in Tennessee, rips it out. Everybody thought the deal was dead. Reported it in the Wall Street Journal recently. Everybody idea it was a done deal. It'due south going in and that's going to be it, going into Tennessee. Great state, great people.

All of a sudden, at the terminal moment, this big auto manufacturer, strange, announces they're not going to Tennessee. They're gonna spend their $1 billion in Mexico instead. Non good.

At present, Ford announces a few weeks ago that Ford is going to build a $ii.5 billion automobile and truck and parts manufacturing plant in United mexican states. $two.5 billion, information technology's going to be 1 of the largest in the earth. Ford. Good visitor.

So I appear that I'grand running for president. I would…

… one of the early things I would do, probably before I even got in— and I wouldn't even apply— you know, I have— I know the smartest negotiators in the world. I know the good ones. I know the bad ones. I know the overrated ones.

You get a lot of them that are overrated. They're not skillful. They recollect they are. They become practiced stories, because the newspapers get buffaloed. Just they're not skilful.

But I know the negotiators in the world, and I put them ane for each country. Believe me, folks. We will exercise very, very well, very, very well.

But I wouldn't even waste my time with this one. I would call upwards the head of Ford, who I know. If I was president, I'd say, "Congratulations. I empathize that you lot're building a squeamish $ii.5 billion car factory in Mexico and that you're going to take your cars and sell them to the United States goose egg tax, just flow them across the border."

And you say to yourself, "How does that help us," right? "How does that help us? Where is that skillful"? It's not.

So I would say, "Congratulations. That's the good news. Permit me give you the bad news. Every car and every truck and every part manufactured in this institute that comes beyond the border, we're going to accuse you a 35-percent tax, and that tax is going to be paid simultaneously with the transaction, and that's it.

At present, here'southward what is going to happen. If information technology's not me in the position, information technology's one of these politicians that we're running against, you lot know, the 400 people that we're (inaudible). And here's what'southward going to happen. They're non so stupid. They know it's not a skillful affair, and they may even exist upset by information technology. But then they're going to get a telephone call from the donors or probably from the lobbyist for Ford and say, "You can't do that to Ford, because Ford takes care of me and I take intendance of yous, and you can't do that to Ford."

And guess what? No trouble. They're going to build in Mexico. They're going to take away thousands of jobs. It's very bad for us.

And then under President Trump, here's what would happen:

The caput of Ford will call me dorsum, I would say within an hr after I told them the bad news. But it could exist he'd want to be cool, and he'll expect until the next mean solar day. You know, they desire to be a picayune cool.

And he'll say, "Please, delight, please." He'll beg for a lilliputian while, and I'll say, "No interest." Then he'll phone call all sorts of political people, and I'll say, "Lamentable, fellas. No interest," because I don't need everyone's money. It'due south dainty. I don't need anybody's coin.

I'm using my own money. I'chiliad not using the lobbyists. I'm not using donors. I don't care. I'grand really rich. I (inaudible).

And past the manner, I'm non fifty-fifty maxim that's the kind of mindset, that's the kind of thinking y'all need for this country.

And so— considering we got to brand the land rich.

It sounds crass. Somebody said, "Oh, that's crass." It's not crass.

We got $18 trillion in debt. We got nothing but issues.

We got a military that needs equipment all over the place. Nosotros got nuclear weapons that are obsolete.

We've got nothing. We've got Social Security that'southward going to be destroyed if somebody like me doesn't bring coin into the land. All these other people want to cutting the hell out of it. I'm not going to cutting information technology at all; I'm going to bring money in, and we're going to save it.

But hither's what's going to happen:

Afterwards I'm chosen by xxx friends of mine who contributed to different campaigns, after I'm called by all of the special interests and by the— the donors and by the lobbyists— and they have nada adventure at disarming me, null— I'll go a call the next mean solar day from the head of Ford. He'll say. "Delight reconsider," I'll say no.

He'll say, "Mr. President, we've decided to move the plant dorsum to the United States, and nosotros're not going to build it in Mexico." That'due south it. They have no choice. They have no pick.

In that location are hundreds of things like that. I'll give you some other case.

Kingdom of saudi arabia, they make $i billion a day. $one billion a day. I love the Saudis. Many are in this building. They brand a billion dollars a day. Whenever they take problems, we send over the ships. Nosotros say "we're gonna protect." What are nosotros doing? They've got nothing but money.

If the right person asked them, they'd pay a fortune. They wouldn't be there except for u.s.a..

And believe me, you look at the border with Yemen. You lot recollect Obama a year ago, Yemen was a great victory. Two weeks subsequently, the place was blown up. Everybody got out— and they kept our equipment.

They always keep our equipment. We ought to transport used equipment, correct? They always keep our equipment. We ought to send some real junk, considering, frankly, it would exist— we ought to transport our surplus. We're always losing this gorgeous brand-new stuff.

But await at that border with Saudi Arabia. Practice you really remember that these people are interested in Republic of yemen? Kingdom of saudi arabia without us is gone. They're gone.

And I'm the one that made all of the right predictions most Iraq. You know, all of these politicians that I'chiliad running against now— information technology'south so overnice to say I'm running as opposed to if I run, if I run. I'1000 running.

Only all of these politicians that I'chiliad running confronting at present, they're trying to disassociate. I hateful, you lot looked at Bush, it took him 5 days to reply the question on Iraq. He couldn't answer the question. He didn't know. I said, "Is he intelligent?"

So I looked at Rubio. He was unable to answer the question, is Iraq a good matter or bad matter? He didn't know. He couldn't respond the question.

How are these people gonna lead united states of america? How are nosotros gonna— how are we gonna go back and go far great once more? Nosotros can't. They don't take a clue. They can't lead u.s.. They tin can't. They can't even respond simple questions. Information technology was terrible.

But Saudi Arabia is in big, large trouble. Now, thanks to fracking and other things, the oil is all over the place. And I used to say it, in that location are ships at bounding main, and this was during the worst crisis, that were loaded up with oil, and the cartel kept the toll upward, because, again, they were smarter than our leaders. They were smarter than our leaders.

At that place is so much wealth out there that tin can make our state so rich again, and therefore make it bully again. Because we demand money. We're dying. We're dying. We need coin. We have to do it. And nosotros need the right people.

So Ford will come dorsum. They'll all come back. And I volition say this, this is going to be an election, in my stance, that's based on competence.

Somebody said — cheers, darlin'.

Somebody said to me the other mean solar day, a reporter, a very nice reporter, "But, Mr. Trump, you're non a nice person."

That's true. Simply actually I am. I think I am a nice person. People that know me, like me. Does my family similar me? I call back so, right. Look at my family. I'thou proud of my family.

By the way, speaking of my family, Melania, Barron, Kai, Donnie, Don, Vanessa, Tiffany, Evanka did a great chore. Did she do a nifty chore?

Smashing. Jared, Laura and Eric, I'yard very proud of my family. They're a dandy family.

And then the reporter said to me the other day, "Only, Mr. Trump, you're not a squeamish person. How can you get people to vote for you?"

I said, "I don't know." I said, "I remember that number one, I am a overnice person. I give a lot of money away to charities and other things. I think I'm really a very nice person."

Only, I said, "This is going to exist an election that'south based on competence, because people are tired of these prissy people. And they're tired of being ripped off by everybody in the globe. And they're tired of spending more than money on pedagogy than any nation in the world per capita, than any nation in the earth, and we are 26th in the world, 25 countries are meliorate than u.s. in education. And some of them are like third earth countries. But we're condign a 3rd discussion country, considering of our infrastructure, our airports, our roads, everything. And then one of the things I did, and I said, you lot know what I'll do. I'll do it. Because a lot of people said, "He'll never run. Number one, he won't want to give up his lifestyle."

They're right about that, but I'one thousand doing it.

Number two, I'grand a individual company, so nobody knows what I'g worth. And the one thing is that when you run, you have to denote and certify to all sorts of governmental authorities your net worth.

So I said, "That'southward OK." I'm proud of my internet worth. I've done an amazing chore.

I started off— thank you— I started off in a minor office with my begetter in Brooklyn and Queens, and my male parent said — and I dear my father. I learned so much. He was a bang-up negotiator. I learned so much just sitting at his feet playing with blocks listening to him negotiate with subcontractors. But I learned a lot.

But he used to say, "Donald, don't go into Manhattan. That's the large leagues. Nosotros don't know annihilation most that. Don't exercise information technology."

I said, "I gotta go into Manhattan. I gotta build those large buildings. I gotta do it, Dad. I've gotta exercise it."

And after four or five years in Brooklyn, I ventured into Manhattan and did a lot of cracking deals— the Grand Hyatt Hotel. I was responsible for the convention center on the w side. I did a lot of great deals, and I did them early on and immature. And now I'one thousand building all over the world, and I love what I'm doing.

But they all said, a lot of the pundits on television set, "Well, Donald volition never run, and one of the main reasons is he'southward individual and he's probably not every bit successful as everybody thinks."

So I said to myself, yous know, nobody's ever going to know unless I run, because I'yard really proud of my success. I really am.

I've employed— I've employed tens of thousands of people over my lifetime. That means medical. That means education. That ways everything.

So a large bookkeeping firm and my accountants take been working for months, because it'southward big and complex, and they've put together a statement, a fiscal statement, just a summary. Just everything will be filed somewhen with the government, and we don't [use] extensions or anything. We'll be filing it right on time. We don't need anything.

And it was fifty-fifty reported incorrectly yesterday, because they said, "He had assets of $9 billion." And so I said, "No, that's the incorrect number. That's the wrong number. Not assets."

So they put together this. And before I say it, I have to say this. I made it the one-time-fashioned way. It's real estate. You know, it's real estate.

It's labor, and it's unions skillful and some bad and lots of people that aren't in unions, and information technology's all over the place and edifice all over the world.

And I take assets— large accounting house, one of the near highly respected— 9 billion 240 million dollars.

And I have liabilities of about $500 million. That's long-term debt, very low interest rates.

In fact, ane of the big banks came to me and said, "Donald, yous don't have plenty borrowings. Could nosotros loan y'all $4 billion"? I said, "I don't need it. I don't want it. And I've been in that location. I don't want it."

Only in two seconds, they give me whatever I wanted. And so I have a full internet worth, and now with the increase, information technology'll be well-over $10 billion. But hither, a total net worth of—cyberspace worth, not assets, not— a internet worth, later on all debt, after all expenses, the greatest assets— Trump Belfry, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, Bank of America building in San Francisco, 40 Wall Street, sometimes referred to as the Trump building right opposite the New York— many other places all over the world.

And so the total is $8,737,540,00.

Now I'thou not doing that…

I'k non doing that to brag, considering y'all know what? I don't have to brag. I don't take to, believe it or non.

I'm doing that to say that that'south the kind of thinking our country needs. We need that thinking. Nosotros have the opposite thinking.

Nosotros have losers. We have losers. We have people that don't accept it. We accept people that are morally corrupt. We have people that are selling this state down the drain.

And then I put together this statement, and the simply reason I'one thousand telling you about it today is considering we really practise have to get going, because if we take another three or iv years— yous know, nosotros're at $8 trillion now. We're before long going to exist at $20 trillion.

According to the economists— who I'm not big believers in, but, nevertheless, this is what they're saying— that $24 trillion— we're very close— that's the signal of no render. $24 trillion. Nosotros will be at that place shortly. That's when we become Greece. That's when we become a country that'due south unsalvageable. And nosotros're gonna be there very soon. Nosotros're gonna exist there very soon.

Then, simply to sum up, I would exercise various things very quickly. I would repeal and replace the big lie, Obamacare.

I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively, I will build a not bad, smashing wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.

Marker my words.

Nobody would be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump. Nobody.

I will find — inside our armed services, I will detect the General Patton or I will find Full general MacArthur, I will find the right guy. I will notice the guy that'southward going to have that military and make information technology really piece of work. Nobody, nobody will be pushing us effectually.

I volition stop Islamic republic of iran from getting nuclear weapons. And nosotros won't exist using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, who's making a horrible and laughable deal, who's just being tapped along every bit they make weapons right now, and and then goes into a bicycle race at 72 years old, and falls and breaks his leg. I won't be doing that. And I hope I will never be in a wheel race. That I can tell you.

I volition immediately finish President Obama'south illegal executive order on immigration, immediately.

Fully back up and support the Second Amendment.

At present, it's very interesting. Today I heard it. Through stupidity, in a very, very hard core prison, interestingly named Clinton, two brutal murderers, two vicious people escaped, and nobody knows where they are. And a woman was on television this morning, and she said, "You lot know, Mr. Trump," and she was telling other people, and I really called her, and she said, "Y'all know, Mr. Trump, I always was against guns. I didn't want guns. And now since this happened"— it's up in the prison house surface area— "my married man and I are finally in understanding, considering he wanted the guns. We now have a gun on every table. We're ready to showtime shooting."

I said, "Very interesting."

Then protect the Second Amendment.

End— terminate Common Core. Common Core should— information technology is a disaster. Bush is totally in favor of Common Core. I don't encounter how he can possibly get the nomination. He's weak on immigration. He's in favor of Common Core. How the hell tin can yous vote for this guy? You just can't practise it. We have to end education has to be local.

Rebuild the country's infrastructure.

Nobody can practise that like me. Believe me. It will be done on time, on budget, way below price, mode beneath what anyone ever idea.

I wait at the roads being built all over the country, and I say I can build those things for 1-third. What they exercise is unbelievable, how bad.

You know, we're building on Pennsylvania Avenue, the Erstwhile Post Office, we're converting information technology into 1 of the world'south great hotels. Information technology's gonna be the best hotel in Washington, D.C. We got it from the Full general Services Administration in Washington. The Obama administration. We got it. Information technology was the most highly sought after— or one of them, only I call back the near highly sought after project in the history of Full general Services. We got information technology. People were shocked, Trump got it.

Well, I got it for two reasons. Number one, nosotros're really good. Number two, nosotros had a actually good plan. And I'll add together in the tertiary, we had a great financial argument. Because the Full general Services, who are terrific people, past the mode, and talented people, they wanted to practise a neat job. And they wanted to make certain information technology got built.

And then nosotros have to rebuild our infrastructure, our bridges, our roadways, our airports. You come into La Guardia Airport, information technology's similar nosotros're in a third world country. You look at the patches and the forty-year-old floor. They throw downwardly asphalt, and they throw.

Yous wait at these airports, we are like a tertiary globe country. And I come in from China and I come up in from Qatar and I come in from different places, and they have the virtually incredible airports in the world. You come up to back to this country and you accept LAX, disaster. You lot have all of these disastrous airports. We have to rebuild our infrastructure.

Save Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without cuts. Have to do information technology.

Get rid of the fraud. Get rid of the waste product and abuse, but relieve it. People have been paying information technology for years. And now many of these candidates want to cut it. You save it by making the United States, by making us rich once more, by taking dorsum all of the money that's existence lost.

Renegotiate our foreign trade deals.

Reduce our $18 trillion in debt, because, believe me, we're in a bubble. Nosotros take artificially low interest rates. Nosotros accept a stock market place that, frankly, has been good to me, just I withal hate to see what's happening. We have a stock market place that is then bloated.

Exist careful of a bubble because what you've seen in the past might be minor potatoes compared to what happens. So be very, very careful.

And strengthen our armed forces and accept intendance of our vets. And then, so of import.

Sadly, the American dream is dead.

Simply if I get elected president I volition bring it back bigger and ameliorate and stronger than e'er before, and nosotros will brand America great over again.

Thanks. Thank y'all very much.
