Phoenix, Arizona

Wow. Thank you. That's a lot of people, Phoenix, that's a lot of people.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Phoenix. I am so glad to be back in Arizona.

The state that has a very, very special place in my heart. I love people of
Arizona and together we are going to win the White House in November.

Now, you know this is where it all began for me. Remember that massive
crowd also. So, I said let's go and have some fun tonight. We're going to
Arizona, OK?

This will be a little bit different. This won't be a rally speech, per se. Instead,
I'm going to deliver a detailed policy address on one of the greatest
challenges facing our country today, illegal immigration.

I've just landed having returned from a very important and special meeting
with the President of Mexico, a man I like and respect very much. And a
man who truly loves his country, Mexico.

And, by the way, just like I am a man who loves my country, the United
States.

We agree on the importance of ending the illegal flow of drugs, cash, guns,
and people across our border, and to put the cartels out of business.

We also discussed the great contributions of Mexican-American citizens to

our two countries, my love for the people of Mexico, and the leadership and
friendship between Mexico and the United States. It was a thoughtful and
substantive conversation and it will go on for awhile. And, in the end we're
all going to win. Both countries, we're all going to win.
This is the first of what I expect will be many, many conversations. And, in
a Trump administration we're going to go about creating a new relationship
between our two countries, but it's going to be a fair relationship. We want
fairness.

But to fix our immigration system, we must change our leadership in

Washington and we must change it quickly.

Sadly, sadly there is no other way. The truth is our immigration system is
worse than anybody ever realized. But the facts aren't known because the
media won't report on them. The politicians won't talk about them and
the special interests spend a lot of money trying to cover them up because
they are making an absolute fortune. That's the way it is.

Today, on a very complicated and very difficult subject, you will get the
truth. The fundamental problem with the immigration system in our
country is that it serves the needs of wealthy donors, political activists and
powerful, powerful politicians. It's all you can do. Thank you. Thank you.

Let me tell you who it does not serve. It does not serve you the American
people. Doesn't serve you. When politicians talk about immigration reform,
they usually mean the following, amnesty, open borders, lower wages.
Immigration reform should mean something else entirely. It should mean
improvements to our laws and policies to make life better for American
citizens.

Thank you. But if we're going to make our immigration system work, then
we have to be prepared to talk honestly and without fear about these
important and very sensitive issues. For instance, we have to listen to the
concerns that working people, our forgotten working people, have over the
record pace of immigration and it's impact on their jobs, wages, housing,
schools, tax bills and general living conditions.

These are valid concerns expressed by decent and patriotic citizens from all
backgrounds, all over. We also have to be honest about the fact that not
everyone who seeks to join our country will be able to successfully
assimilate. Sometimes it's just not going to work out. It's our right, as a
sovereign nation to chose immigrants that we think are the likeliest to
thrive and flourish and love us.

Then there is the issue of security. Countless innocent American lives have
been stolen because our politicians have failed in their duty to secure our
borders and enforce our laws like they have to be enforced. I have met with
many of the great parents who lost their children to sanctuary cities and
open borders. So many people, so many, many people. So sad. They will be
joining me on this stage in a little while and I look forward to introducing,
these are amazing, amazing people.

Countless Americans who have died in recent years would be alive today if
not for the open border policies of this administration and the
administration that causes this horrible, horrible thought process, called
Hillary Clinton.

This includes incredible Americans like 21 year old Sarah Root. The man
who killed her arrived at the border, entered Federal custody and then was
released into the U.S., think of it, into the U.S. community under the
policies of the White House Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Weak, weak
policies. Weak and foolish policies.

He was released again after the crime, and now he's out there at large.
Sarah had graduated from college with a 4.0, top student in her class one
day before her death.

Also among the victims of the Obama-Clinton open borders policy

wasGrant Ronnebeck, a 21-year-old convenience store clerk and a
really good guy from Mesa, Arizona. A lot of you have known about Grant.

He was murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member previously

convicted of burglary, who had also been released from federal custody,
and they knew it was going to happen again.
Another victim is Kate Steinle. Gunned down in the sanctuary city of San
Francisco, by an illegal immigrant, deported five previous times. And they
knew he was no good.

Then there is the case of 90-year-old Earl Olander, who was brutally beaten
and left to bleed to death in his home, 90 years old and defenseless. The
perpetrators were illegal immigrants with criminal records a mile long, who
did not meet Obama administration standards for removal. And they knew
it was going to happen.

In California, a 64-year-old Air Force veteran, a great woman, according to

everybody that knew her, Marilyn Pharis, was sexually assaulted and beaten
to death with a hammer. Her killer had been arrested on multiple occasions
but was never, ever deported, despite the fact that everybody wanted him
out.

A 2011 report from the Government Accountability Office found that illegal
immigrants and other non-citizens, in our prisons and jails together, had
around 25,000 homicide arrests to their names, 25,000.

On top of that, illegal immigration costs our country more than $113 billion
dollars a year.

And this is what we get. For the money we are going to spend on illegal
immigration over the next 10 years, we could provide 1 million at-risk
students with a school voucher, which so many people are wanting.

While there are many illegal immigrants in our country who are good
people, many, many, this doesn't change the fact that most illegal
immigrants are lower skilled workers with less education, who compete
directly against vulnerable American workers, and that these illegal
workers draw much more out from the system than they can ever
possiblypay back.

And they're hurting a lot of our people that cannot get jobs under any
circumstances.
But these facts are never reported. Instead, the media and my opponent
discuss one thing and only one thing, the needs of people living here
illegally. In many cases, by the way, they're treated better than our vets.

Not going to happen anymore, folks. November 8th. Not going to happen
anymore.

The truth is, the central issue is not the needs of the 11 million illegal
immigrants or however many there may be -- and honestly we've been
hearing that number for years. It's always 11 million.

Our government has no idea. It could be 3 million. It could be 30

million. They have no idea what the number is.

Frankly our government has no idea what they're doing on many, many
fronts, folks.

But whatever the number, that's never really been the central issue. It will
never be a central issue. It doesn't matter from that standpoint. Anyone
who tells you that the core issue is the needs of those living here illegally
has simply spent too much time in Washington.

Only the out of touch media elites think the biggest problems facing
America -- you know this, this is what they talk about, facing American
society today is that there are 11 million illegal immigrants who don't have
legal status. And, they also think the biggest thing, and you know this, it's
not nuclear, and it's not ISIS, it's not Russia, it's not China, it's global
warming.

To all the politicians, donors, and special interests, hear these words from
me and all of you today. There is only one core issue in the immigration
debate, and that issue is the well being of the American people.

Nothing even comes a close second. Hillary Clinton, for instance, talks
constantly about her fears that families will be separated, but she's not
talking about the American families who have been permanently separated
from their loved ones because of a preventable homicide, because of a
preventable death, because of murder.

No, she's only talking about families who come here in violation of the law.
We will treat everyone living or residing in our country with great dignity.
So important.

We will be fair, just, and compassionate to all, but our greatest compassion
must be for our American citizens.

Thank you.

President Obama and Hillary Clinton have engaged in gross dereliction of

duty by surrendering the safety of the American people to open borders,
and you know it better than anybody right here in Arizona. You know it.

President Obama and Hillary Clinton support sanctuary cities. They

support catch and release on the border. they support visa overstays.They
support the release of dangerous, dangerous, dangerous, criminals from
detention. And, they support unconstitutional executive amnesty.

Hillary Clinton has pledged amnesty in her first 100 days, and her plan will
provide Obamacare, Social Security, and Medicare for illegal immigrants,
breaking the federal budget.

On top of that she promises uncontrolled, low-skilled immigration that

continues to reduce jobs and wages for American workers, and especially
for African-American and Hispanic workers within our country. Our
citizens.

Most incredibly, because to me this is unbelievable, we have no idea who

these people are, where they come from. I always say Trojan Horse.Watch
what's going to happen, folks. It's not going to be pretty.

This includes her plan to bring in 620,000 new refugees from Syria and
that region over a short period of time. And even yesterday, when you were
watching the news, you saw thousands and thousands of people coming in
from Syria. What is wrong with our politicians, our leaders if we can call
them that. What the hell are we doing?

Hard to believe. Hard to believe. Now that you've heard about Hillary
Clinton's plan, about which she has not answered a single question, let me
tell you about my plan. And do you notice --

And do you notice all the time for weeks and weeks of debating my plan,
debating, talking about it, what about this, what about that. They never
even mentioned her plan on immigration because she doesn't want to get
into the quagmire. It's a tough one, she doesn't know what she's doing
except open borders and let everybody come in and destroy our country by
the way.

While Hillary Clinton meets only with donors and lobbyists, my plan was
crafted with the input from Federal Immigration offices, very great people.
Among the top immigration experts anywhere in this country, who
represent workers, not corporations, very important to us.

I also worked with lawmakers, who've led on this issue on behalf of

American citizens for many years. And most importantly I've met with the
people directly impacted by these policies. So important.

Number one, are you ready? Are you ready?

We will build a great wall along the southern border.

And Mexico will pay for the wall.

One hundred percent. They don't know it yet, but they're going to pay for it.
And they're great people and great leaders but they're going to pay for the
wall. On day one, we will begin working on intangible, physical, tall, power,
beautiful southern border wall.
We will use the best technology, including above and below ground sensors
that's the tunnels. Remember that, above and below.

Above and below ground sensors. Towers, aerial surveillance and

manpower to supplement the wall, find and dislocate tunnels and keep out
criminal cartels and Mexico you know that, will work with us. I really
believe it. Mexico will work with us. I absolutely believe it. And especially
after meeting with their wonderful, wonderful president today. I really
believe they want to solve this problem along with us, and I'm sure they
will.

Number two, we are going to end catch and release. We catch them, oh go
ahead. We catch them, go ahead.

Under my administration, anyone who illegally crosses the border will be

detained until they are removed out of our country and back to the country
from which they came.

And they'll be brought great distances. We're not dropping them right
across. They learned that. President Eisenhower. They'd drop them across,
right across, and they'd come back. And across.

Then when they flew them to a long distance, all of a sudden that was the
end. We will take them great distances. But we will take them to the country
where they came from, OK?

Number three. Number three, this is the one, I think it's so great. It's hard
to believe, people don't even talk about it. Zero tolerance for criminal
aliens. Zero. Zero.

Zero. They don't come in here. They don't come in here.

According to federal data, there are at least 2 million, 2 million, think of it,
criminal aliens now inside of our country, 2 million people criminal aliens.
We will begin moving them out day one. As soon as I take office. Day one.
In joint operation with local, state, and federal law enforcement.
Now, just so you understand, the police, who we all respect -- say hello to
the police. Boy, they don't get the credit they deserve. I can tell you. They're
great people. But the police and law enforcement, they know who these
people are.

They live with these people. They get mocked by these people. They can't do
anything about these people, and they want to. They know who these
people are. Day one, my first hour in office, those people are gone.

And you can call it deported if you want. The press doesn't like that term.
You can call it whatever the hell you want. They're gone.

Beyond the 2 million, and there are vast numbers of additional criminal
illegal immigrants who have fled, but their days have run out in this
country. The crime will stop. They're going to be gone. It will be over.

They're going out. They're going out fast.

Moving forward. We will issue detainers for illegal immigrants who are
arrested for any crime whatsoever, and they will be placed into immediate
removal proceedings if we even have to do that.

We will terminate the Obama administration's deadly, and it is deadly, non-

enforcement policies that allow thousands of criminal aliens to freely roam
our streets, walk around, do whatever they want to do, crime all over the
place.

That's over. That's over, folks. That's over.

Since 2013 alone, the Obama administration has allowed 300,000 criminal
aliens to return back into United States communities. These are individuals
encountered or identified by ICE, but who were not detained or processed
for deportation because it wouldn't have been politically correct.

My plan also includes cooperating closely with local jurisdictions to remove

criminal aliens immediately. We will restore the highly successful Secure
Communities Program. Good program. We will expand and revitalize the
popular 287(g) partnerships, which will help to identify hundreds of
thousands of deportable aliens in local jails that we don't even know about.

Both of these programs have been recklessly gutted by this administration.

And those were programs that worked.

This is yet one more area where we are headed in a totally opposite
direction. There's no common sense, there's no brain power in our
administration by our leader, or our leaders. None, none, none.

Heres an interesting graphic from a study published this summer on voting

attitudes among people who heard incumbents use restrictive rhetoric on
immigration -- tough enforcement, no amnesty, deportations -- and its
affect on their own opinions.

On my first day in office I am also going to ask Congress to pass Kate's Law,
named for Kate Steinle.

To ensure that criminal aliens convicted of illegal reentry receive strong

mandatory minimum sentences. Strong.

And then we get them out.

Another reform I'm proposing is the passage of legislation named for

Detective Michael Davis and Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver, to law
enforcement officers recently killed by a previously deported illegal
immigrant.

The Davis-Oliver bill will enhance cooperation with state and local
authorities to ensure that criminal immigrants and terrorists are swiftly,
really swiftly, identified and removed. And they will go face, believe me.
They're going to go.

We're going to triple the number of ICE deportation officers.

Within ICE I am going to create a new special deportation task forcefocused

on identifying and quickly removing the most dangerous criminal illegal
immigrants in America who have evaded justice just like Hillary Clinton has
evaded justice, OK?

Maybe they'll be able to deport her.

The local police who know every one of these criminals, and they know each
and every one by name, by crime, where they live, they will work so fast.
And our local police will be so happy that they don't have to be abused by
these thugs anymore. There's no great mystery to it, they've put up with it
for years, and no finally we will turn the tables and law enforcement and
our police will be allowed to clear up this dangerous and threatening mess.

We're also going to hire 5,000 more Border Patrol agents.

Who gave me their endorsement, 16,500 gave me their endorsement.

And put more of them on the border instead of behind desks which is
good. We will expand the number of border patrol stations significantly.

I've had a chance to spend time with these incredible law enforcement
officers, and I want to take a moment to thank them. What they do is
incredible.

And getting their endorsement means so much to me. More to me really

than I can say. Means so much. First time they've ever endorsed a
presidential candidate.

Number four, block funding for sanctuary cities. We block the funding. No
more funds.

We will end the sanctuary cities that have resulted in so many needless
deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not
receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work with Congress to pass legislation
to protect those jurisdictions that do assist federal authorities.

Number five, cancel unconstitutional executive orders and enforce all

immigration laws.
We will immediately terminate President Obama's two illegal executive
amnesties in which he defied federal law and the Constitution to give
amnesty to approximately five million illegal immigrants, five million.

And how about all the millions that are waiting on line, going through the
process legally? So unfair.

Hillary Clinton has pledged to keep both of these illegal amnesty programs,
including the 2014 amnesty which has been blocked by the United States
Supreme Court. Great.

Clinton has also pledged to add a third executive amnesty. And by the way,
folks, she will be a disaster for our country, a disaster in so many other
ways.

And don't forget the Supreme Court of the United States. Don't forget that
when you go to vote on November 8. And don't forget your Second
Amendment. And don't forget the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.

And don't forget building up our depleted military. And don't forget taking
care of our vets. Don't forget our vets. They have been forgotten.

Clinton's plan would trigger a constitutional crisis unlike almost anything

we have ever seen before. In effect, she would be abolishing the lawmaking
powers of Congress in order to write her own laws from the Oval Office.
And you see what bad judgment she has. She has seriously bad judgment.

Can you imagine? In a Trump administration all immigration laws will be

enforced, will be enforced. As with any law enforcement activity, we will set
priorities. But unlike this administration, no one will be immune or exempt
from enforcement. And ICE and Border Patrol officers will be allowed to do
their jobs the way their jobs are supposed to be done.

Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to

deportation. That is what it means to have laws and to have a country.
Otherwise we don't have a country.
Our enforcement priorities will include removing criminals, gang members,
security threats, visa overstays, public charges. That is those relying on
public welfare or straining the safety net along with millions of recent
illegal arrivals and overstays who've come here under this current corrupt
administration.

Number six, we are going to suspend the issuance of visas to any place
where adequate screening cannot occur.

According to data provided by the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration,

and the national interest between 9/11 and the end of 2014, at least 380
foreign born individuals were convicted in terror cases inside the United
States. And even right now the largest number of people are under
investigation for exactly this that we've ever had in the history of our
country.

Our country is a mess. We don't even know what to look for anymore, folks.
Our country has to straighten out. And we have to straighten out fast.

The number is likely higher. But the administration refuses to provide this
information, even to Congress. As soon as I enter office I am going to ask
the Department of State, which has been brutalized by Hillary Clinton,
brutalized.

Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to begin a

comprehensive review of these cases in order to develop a list of regions
and countries from which immigration must be suspended until proven and
effective vetting mechanisms can be put in place.

I call it extreme vetting right? Extreme vetting. I want extreme. It's going to
be so tough, and if somebody comes in that's fine but they're going to be
good. It's extreme.

And if people don't like it, we've got have a country folks. Got to have a
country. Countries in which immigration will be suspended would include
places like Syria and Libya. And we are going to stop the tens of thousands
of people coming in from Syria. We have no idea who they are, where they
come from. There's no documentation. There's no paperwork. It's going to
end badly folks. It's going to end very, very badly.

For the price of resettling, one refugee in the United States, 12 could be
resettled in a safe zone in their home region. Which I agree with 100
percent. We have to build safe zones and we'll get the money from Gulf
states. We don't want to put up the money. We owe almost $20 trillion.
Doubled since Obama took office, our national debt.

But we will get the money from Gulf states and others. We'll supervise it.
We'll build safe zones which is something that I think all of us want to see.

Another reform, involves new screening tests for all applicants that include,
and this is so important, especially if you get the right people. And we will
get the right people. An ideological certification to make sure that those we
are admitting to our country share our values and love our people.

Thank you. We're very proud of our country. Aren't we? Really? With all it's
going through, we're very proud of our country. For instance, in the last five
years, we've admitted nearly 100,000 immigrants from Iraq and
Afghanistan. And these two countries according to Pew Research, a
majority of residents say that the barbaric practice of honor killings against
women are often or sometimes justified. That's what they say.

That's what they say. They're justified. Right? And we're admitting them to
our country. Applicants will be asked their views about honor killings,
about respect for women and gays and minorities. Attitudes on radical
Islam, which our President refuses to say and many other topics as part of
this vetting procedure. And if we have the right people doing it, believe me,
very, very few will slip through the cracks. Hopefully, none.

Number seven, we will insure that other countries take their people back
when they order them deported.
There are at least 23 countries that refuse to take their people back after
they've been ordered to leave the United States. Including large numbers of
violent criminals, they won't take them back. So we say, OK, we'll keep
them. Not going to happen with me, not going to happen with me.

Due to a Supreme Court decision, if these violent offenders cannot be sent

home, our law enforcement officers have to release them into your
communities.

And by the way, the results are horrific, horrific. There are often terrible
consequences, such as Casey Chadwick's tragic death in Connecticut just
last year. Yet despite the existence of a law that commands the Secretary of
State to stop issuing visas to these countries.

Secretary Hillary Clinton ignored this law and refused to use this powerful
tool to bring nations into compliance. And, they would comply if we would
act properly.

In other words, if we had leaders that knew what they were doing, which we
don't.

The result of her misconduct was the release of thousands and thousands of
dangerous criminal aliens who should have been sent home to their
countries. Instead we have them all over the place. Probably a couple in this
room as a matter of fact, but I hope not.

According to a report for the Boston Globe from the year 2008 to 2014
nearly 13,000 criminal aliens were released back into U.S. communities
because their home countries would not, under any circumstances, take
them back. Hard to believe with the power we have. Hard to believe.

We're like the big bully that keeps getting beat up. You ever see that? The
big bully that keeps getting beat up.

These 13,000 release occurred on Hillary Clinton's watch. She had the
power and the duty to stop it cold, and she decided she would not do it.
And, Arizona knows better than most exactly what I'm talking about.

(APPLAUSE)

Those released include individuals convicted of killings, sexual assaults,

and some of the most heinous crimes imaginable.

The Boston Globe writes that a Globe review of 323 criminals released in
New England from 2008 to 2012 found that as many as 30 percent
committed new offenses, including rape, attempted murder, and child
molestation. We take them, we take them.

Number eight, we will finally complete the biometric entry-exit visa

tracking system which we need desperately. For years Congress has
required biometric entry-exit visa tracking systems, but it has never been
completed. The politicians are all talk, no action, never happens. Never
happens.

Hillary Clinton, all talk. Unfortunately when there is action it's always the
wrong decision. You ever notice? In my administration we will ensure that
this system is in place. And, I will tell you, it will be on land, it will be on
sea, it will be in air. We will have a proper tracking system.

Approximately half of new illegal immigrants came on temporary visas and

then never, ever left. Why should the? Nobody's telling them to leave. Stay
as long as you want, we'll take care of you.

Beyond violating our laws, visa overstays, pose -- and they really are a big
problem, pose a substantial threat to national security. The 9/11
Commission said that this tracking system would be a high priority and
would have assisted law enforcement and intelligence officials in august
and September in 2001 in conducting a search for two of the 9/11 hijackers
that were in the United States expired visas.

And, you know what that would have meant, what that could have meant.
Wouldn't that have been wonderful, right? What that could have meant?
Last year alone nearly half a million individuals overstayed their temporary
visas. Removing these overstays will be a top priority of my administration.

If people around the world believe they can just come on a temporary visa
and never, ever leave, the Obama-Clinton policy, that's what it is, then we
have a completely open border, and we no longer have a country.

We must send a message that visa expiration dates will be strongly

enforced.

Number nine, we will turn off the jobs and benefits magnet.

We will ensure that E-Verify is used to the fullest extent possible under
existing law, and we will work with Congress to strengthen and expand its
use across the country.

Immigration law doesn't exist for the purpose of keeping criminals out. It
exists to protect all aspects of American life. The work site, the welfare
office, the education system, and everything else.

That is why immigration limits are established in the first place. If we only
enforced the laws against crime, then we have an open border to the entire
world. We will enforce all of our immigration laws.

And the same goes for government benefits. The Center for Immigration
Studies estimates that 62 percent of households headed by illegal
immigrants use some form of cash or non-cash welfare programs like food
stamps or housing assistance.

Tremendous costs, by the way, to our country. Tremendous costs. This

directly violates the federal public charge law designed to protect the
United States Treasury. Those who abuse our welfare system will be
priorities for immediate removal.

Number 10, we will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of
America and its workers, the forgotten people. Workers. We're going to take
care of our workers.
And by the way, and by the way, we're going to make great trade deals.
We're going to renegotiate trade deals. We're going to bring our jobs back
home. We're going to bring our jobs back home.

We have the most incompetently worked trade deals ever

negotiatedprobably in the history of the world, and that starts with NAFTA.
And now they want to go TPP, one of the great disasters.

We're going to bring our jobs back home. And if companies want to leave
Arizona and if they want to leave other states, there's going to be a lot of
trouble for them. It's not going to be so easy. There will be consequence.
Remember that. There will be consequence. They're not going to be leaving,
go to another country, make the product, sell it into the United States, and
all we end up with is no taxes and total unemployment. It's not going to
happen. There will be consequences.

We've admitted 59 million immigrants to the United States between 1965

and 2015. Many of these arrivals have greatly enriched our country. So true.
But we now have an obligation to them and to their children to control
future immigration as we are following, if you think, previous immigration
waves.

We've had some big waves. And tremendously positive things have
happened. Incredible things have happened. To ensure assimilation we
want to ensure that it works. Assimilation, an important word. Integration
and upward mobility.

Within just a few years immigration as a share of national population is set

to break all historical records. The time has come for a new immigration
commission to develop a new set of reforms to our legal immigration
system in order to achieve the following goals.

To keep immigration levels measured by population share within historical

norms. To select immigrants based on their likelihood of success in U.S.
society and their ability to be financially self- sufficient.
We take anybody. Come on in, anybody. Just come on in. Not anymore.

You know, folks, it's called a two-way street. It is a two-way street, right?
We need a system that serves our needs, not the needs of others.
Remember, under a Trump administration it's called America first.
Remember that.

To choose immigrants based on merit. Merit, skill, and proficiency. Doesn't

that sound nice? And to establish new immigration controls to boost
wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first.
And that in particular African- American and Latino workers who are being
shut out in this process so unfairly.

And Hillary Clinton is going to do nothing for the African- American

worker, the Latino worker. She's going to do nothing. Give me your vote,
she says, on November eighth. And then she'll say, so long, see you in four
years. That's what it is.

She is going to do nothing. And just look at the past. She's done nothing.
She's been there for 35 years. She's done nothing. And I say what do you
have to lose? Choose me. Watch how good we're going to do together.
Watch.

You watch. We want people to come into our country, but they have to
come into our country legally and properly vetted, and in a manner that
serves the national interest. We've been living under outdated immigration
rules from decades ago. They're decades and decades old.

To avoid this happening in the future, I believe we should sunset our visa
laws so that Congress is forced to periodically revise and revisit them to
bring them up to date. They're archaic. They're ancient. We wouldn't put
our entire federal budget on auto pilot for decades, so why should we do the
same for the very, very complex subject of immigration?

So let's now talk about the big picture. These 10 steps, if rigorously followed
and enforced, will accomplish more in a matter of months than our
politicians have accomplished on this issue in the last 50 years. It's going to
happen, folks. Because I am proudly not a politician, because I am not
behold to any special interest, I've spent a lot of money on my campaign, I'll
tell you. I write those checks. Nobody owns Trump.

I will get this done for you and for your family. We'll do it right. You'll be
proud of our country again. We'll do it right. We will accomplish all of the
steps outlined above. And, when we do, peace and law and justice and
prosperity will prevail. Crime will go down. Border crossings will plummet.
Gangs will disappear.

And the gangs are all over the place. And welfare use will decrease. We will
have a peace dividend to spend on rebuilding America, beginning with our
American inner cities. We're going to rebuild them, for once and for all.

For those here illegally today, who are seeking legal status, they will have
one route and one route only. To return home and apply for reentry like
everybody else, under the rules of the new legal immigration system that I
have outlined above. Those who have left to seek entry --

Thank you. Thank you. Those who have left to seek entry under this new
system -- and it will be an efficient system -- will not be awarded surplus
visas, but will have to apply for entry under the immigration caps or limits
that will be established in the future.

We will break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration. We will break
the cycle. There will be no amnesty.

Our message to the world will be this. You cannot obtain legal status or
become a citizen of the United States by illegally entering our country. Can't
do it.

This declaration alone will help stop the crisis of illegal crossings and illegal
overstays, very importantly. People will know that you can't just smuggle in,
hunker down and wait to be legalized. It's not going to work that way.
Those days are over.
Importantly, in several years when we have accomplished all of our
enforcement and deportation goals and truly ended illegal immigration for
good, including the construction of a great wall, which we will have built in
record time. And at a reasonable cost, which you never hear from the
government.

And the establishment of our new lawful immigration system then and only
then will we be in a position to consider the appropriate dispositionof those
individuals who remain.

That discussion can take place only in an atmosphere in which illegal

immigration is a memory of the past, no longer with us, allowing us to
weigh the different options available based on the new circumstances at the
time.

Right now, however, we're in the middle of a jobs crisis, a border crisis and
a terrorism crisis like never before. All energies of the federal government
and the legislative process must now be focused on immigration
security. That is the only conversation we should be having at this time,
immigration security. Cut it off.

Whether it's dangerous materials being smuggled across the border,

terrorists entering on visas or Americans losing their jobs to foreign
workers, these are the problems we must now focus on fixing. And the
media needs to begin demanding to hear Hillary Clinton's answer on how
her policies will affect Americans and their security.

These are matters of life and death for our country and its people, and we
deserve answers from Hillary Clinton. And do you notice, she doesn't
answer.

She didn't go to Louisiana. She didn't go to Mexico. She was invited.

She doesn't have the strength or the stamina to make America great again.
Believe me.
What we do know, despite the lack of media curiosity, is that Hillary
Clinton promises a radical amnesty combined with a radical reduction in
immigration enforcement. Just ask the Border Patrol about Hillary Clinton.
You won't like what you're hearing.

The result will be millions more illegal immigrants; thousands of more

violent, horrible crimes; and total chaos and lawlessness. That's what's
going to happen, as sure as you're standing there.

This election, and I believe this, is our last chance to secure the border, stop
illegal immigration and reform our laws to make your life better. I really
believe this is it. This is our last time. November 8. November 8. You got to
get out and vote on November 8.

It's our last chance. It's our last chance. And that includes Supreme Court
justices and Second Amendment. Remember that.

So I want to remind everyone what we're fighting for and who we are
fighting for.

I am going to ask -- these are really special people that I've gotten to know.
Im going to ask all the Angel Moms to come join me on the stage right
now. These are amazing women.

These are amazing people.

(Family members speak individually.)

Thank you.

These are amazing people, and I am not asking for their endorsement,
believe me that. I just think I've gotten to know so many of them, and many
more, from our group. But they are incredible people and what they're
going through is incredible, and there's just no reason for it. Let's give them
a really tremendous hand.

That's tough stuff, I will tell you. That is tough stuff. Incredible people.

So, now is the time for these voices to be heard. Now is the time for the
media to begin asking questions on their behalf. Now is the time for all of
us as one country, Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative to band
together to deliver justice, and safety, and security for all Americans.

Let's fix this horrible, horrible, problem. It can be fixed quickly. Let's our
secure our border.

Let's stop the drugs and the crime from pouring into our country. Let's
protect our social security and Medicare. Let's get unemployed Americans
off the welfare and back to work in their own country.

This has been an incredible evening. We're going to remember this evening.
November 8, we have to get everybody. This is such an important
state. November 8 we have to get everybody to go out and vote.

We're going to bring -- thank you, thank you. We're going to take our
country back, folks. This is a movement. We're going to take our country
back.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is an incredible movement. The world is talking about it. The world is
talking about it and by the way, if you haven't been looking to what's been
happening at the polls over the last three or four days I think you should
start looking. You should start looking.

Together we can save American lives, American jobs, and American futures.
Together we can save America itself. Join me in this mission, we're going to
make America great again.
Thank you. I love you. God bless you, everybody. God bless you. God bless
you, thank you.

Republican Convention Acceptance Speech

Friends, delegates and fellow Americans: I humbly and gratefully accept

your nomination for the presidency of the United States.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! Who wouldve believed that when we started
this journey on June 16, last year, we and I say we, because we are a team,
would have received almost 14 million votes, the most in the history of the
Republican Party, and that the Republican Party would get 60% more votes
than it received eight years ago. Who would've believed this? Who wouldve
believed this? The Democrats on the other hand, received 20% fewer votes
than they got four years ago, not so good, not so good.

Together, we will lead our party back to the White House, and we will lead
our country back to safety, prosperity and peace. We will be a country of
generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.

Our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on
our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life. Any
politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country.

Americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of
violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities. Many have
witnessed this violence personally, some have even been its victims.

I have a message for all of you: The crime and violence that today afflicts
our nation will soon, and I mean very soon, come to an end. Beginning on
January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored.

The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens.
Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.

It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation.

I will present the facts plainly and honestly. We cannot afford to be so
politically correct anymore. So if you want to hear the corporate spin, the
carefully crafted lies and the media myths, the Democrats are holding their
convention next week. Go there.

But here, at our convention, there will be no lies. We will honor the
American people with the truth, and nothing else.

These are the facts:

Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being

reversedby this administrations rollback of criminal enforcement.

Homicides last year increased by 17% in Americas 50 largest cities. Thats

the largest increase in 25 years. In our nations capital, killings have risen
by 50%. They're up nearly 60% in nearby Baltimore.

In the presidents hometown of Chicago, more than 2,000 people have been
the victim of shootings this year alone. And almost 4,000 have been killed
in the Chicago area since he took office.

The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost
50% compared to this point last year. Nearly 180,000 illegal immigrants
with criminal records, ordered deported from our country, are tonight
roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens.

The number of new illegal immigrant families who have crossed the border
so far this year already exceeds the entire total from 2015. They are being
released by the tens of thousands into our communities with no regard for
the impact on public safety or resources.

One such border-crosser was released and made his way to Nebraska.
There, he ended the life of an innocent young girl named Sarah Root. She
was 21 years old and was killed the day after graduating from college with a
4.0 grade point average, No. 1 in her class. Her killer was then released a
second time, and he is now a fugitive from the law.
Ive met Sarahs beautiful family. But to this administration, their amazing
daughter was just one more American life that wasnt worth protecting. No
more. One more child to sacrifice on the altar of open borders.

What about our economy? Again, I will tell you the plain facts that have
been edited out of your nightly news and your morning newspaper: Nearly
4 in 10 African American children are living in poverty, while 58% of
African American youth are now not employed. Two million more Latinos
are in poverty today than when President Obama took his oath of office less
than eight years ago. Another 14 million people have left the workforce
entirely.

Household incomes are down more than $4,000 since the year 2000.That's
16 years ago. Our manufacturing trade deficit has reached an all-time high.
Think of this, think of this: Our trade deficit is nearly $800 billion last year
alone. We're gonna fix that.

The budget is no better. President Obama has almost doubled our national
debt to more than $19 trillion, and growing. And yet, what do we have to
show for it? Our roads and bridges are falling apart, our airports are Third
World condition, and 43 million Americans are on food stamps.

Now let us consider the state of affairs abroad.

Not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but they've lived
through one international humiliation after another. One after another. We
all remember the images of our sailors being forced to their knees by their
Iranian captors at gunpoint.

This was just prior to the signing of the Iran deal, which gave back to Iran
$150 billion and gave us absolutely nothing. It will go down in history as
one of the worst deals ever negotiated. Another humiliation came when
President Obama drew a red line in Syria and the whole world knew it
meant absolutely nothing.
In Libya, our consulate the symbol of American prestige around the globe
was brought down in flames. America is far less safe and the world is
far less stable than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary
Clinton in charge of Americas foreign policy. Let's defeat her in November.

I am certain it is a decision President Obama truly regrets. Her bad

instincts and her bad judgment something pointed out by Bernie
Sanders are what caused the disasters unfolding today. Lets review the
record. In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map.

Libya was stable. Egypt was peaceful. Iraq was seeing and really a big, big
reduction in violence. Iran was being choked by sanctions. Syria was
somewhat under control. After four years of Hillary Clinton, what do we
have?

ISIS has spread across the region, and the entire world. Libya is in ruins,
and our ambassador and his staff were left helpless to die at the hands of
savage killers. Egypt was turned over to the radical Muslim brotherhood,
forcing the military to retake control. Iraq is in chaos.

Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons. Syria is engulfed in a civil war, and
a refugee crisis now threatens the West. After 15 years of wars in the Middle
East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation
is worse than it has ever been before.

This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, terrorism and

weakness.

But Hillary Clintons legacy does not have to be Americas legacy. The
problems we face now poverty and violence at home, war and destruction
abroad will last only as long as we continue relying on the same
politicians who created them in the first place. A change in leadership is
required to produce a change in outcomes. Tonight, I will share with you
my plan for action for America.
The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponent,
is that our plan will put America first. Americanism, not globalism, will be
our credo. As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America
first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with
respect. The respect that we deserve.

The American people will come first once again. My plan will begin with
safety at home which means safe neighborhoods, secure borders and
protection from terrorism. There can be no prosperity without law and
order. On the economy, I will outline reforms to add millions of new jobs
and trillions in new wealth that can be used to rebuild America.

A number of these reforms that I will outline tonight will be opposed by

some of our nations most powerful special interests. That's because these
interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive
benefit. Believe me, it's for their benefit.

Big business, elite media and major donors are lining up behind the
campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged
system in place. They are throwing money at her because they have total
control over every single thing she does. She is their puppet, and they pull
the strings.

That is why Hillary Clintons message is that things will never change.
Never ever. My message is that things have to change and they have to
change right now. Every day I wake up determined to deliver a better life
for the people all across this nation that have been neglected, ignored and
abandoned.

I have visited the laid-off factory workers and the communities crushed by
our horrible and unfair trade deals. These are the forgotten men and
women of our country. And they are forgotten, but they're not gonna be
forgotten long.

These are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. I am your
voice.
I have embraced crying mothers who have lost their children because our
politicians put their personal agendas before the national good. I have no
patience for injustice.

How great are our police, and how great is Cleveland? Thank you.

I have no patience for injustice, no tolerance for government incompetence,

of which there is so much, no sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens.

When innocent people suffer, because our political system lacks the will or
the courage or the basic decency to enforce our laws or worse still, has
sold out to some corporate lobbyist for cash I am not able to look the
other way.

And when a secretary of State illegally stores her emails on a private server,
deletes 33,000 of them so the authorities cant see her crime, puts our
country at risk, lies about it in every different form and faces no
consequence I know that corruption has reached a level like never ever
before in our country.

When the FBI director says that the secretary of State was extremely
careless and negligent in handling our classified secrets, I also know that
these terms are minor compared to what she actually did. They were just
used to save her from facing justice for her terrible, terrible crimes.

In fact, her single greatest accomplishment may be committing such an

egregious crime and getting away with it especially when others who have
done far less have paid so dearly. When that same secretary of State rakes
in millions of dollars trading access and favors to special interests and
foreign powers, I know the time for action has come.

I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up
on people who cannot defend themselves. Nobody knows the system better
than me, which is why I alone can fix it. I have seen firsthand how the
system is rigged against our citizens, just like it was rigged against
Bernie Sanders he never had a chance.
But his supporters will join our movement, because we will fix his biggest
issue: trade deals that strip our country of its jobs and strip us of our wealth
as a country. Millions of Democrats will join our movement too because we
are going to fix the system so it works fairly and justly for each and every
American. In this cause, I am proud to have at my side the next vice
president of the United States: Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana. And a great
guy.

We will bring the same economic success to America that Mike brought to
Indiana. Which is amazing. He is a man of character and accomplishment.
He is the man for the job. The first task for our new administration will be
to liberate our citizens from the crime and terrorism and lawlessness that
threatens our communities.

America was shocked to its core when our police officers in Dallas were so
brutally executed. Immediately after Dallas, we have seen continued threats
and violence against our law enforcement officials. Law officers have been
shot or killed in recent days in Georgia, Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas,
Michigan and Tennessee.

On Sunday, more police were gunned down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Three were killed, and three were very, very badly injured. An attack on law
enforcement is an attack on all Americans. I have a message to every last
person threatening the peace on our streets and the safety of our police:
When I take the oath of office next year, I will restore law and order to our
country. Believe me, believe me.

I will work with, and appoint, the best and brightest prosecutors and law
enforcement officials in the country to get the job properly done. In this
race for the White House, I am the law-and-order candidate. The
irresponsible rhetoric of our president, who has used the pulpit of the
presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more
dangerous environment than frankly I have ever seen and anybody in this
room has ever watched or seen.
This administration has failed Americas inner cities. Its failed them on
education. Its failed them on jobs. Its failed them in crime. Its failed them
in every way and on every single level.

When I am president, I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated
equally and protected equally.

Every action I take, I will ask myself: Does this make better for young
Americans in Baltimore, in Chicago, in Detroit, in Ferguson who really in
every way have as much of a right to live out their dreams as any other child
in America? As any other child?

To make life safe for all of our citizens, we must also address the growing
threats we face from outside America. We are going to defeat the barbarians
of ISIS and we're going to defeat them fast. Once again, France is the victim
of brutal Islamic terrorism.

Men, women and children viciously mowed down. Lives ruined. Families
ripped apart. A nation in mourning.

The damage and devastation that can be inflicted by Islamic radicals has
been proven over and over at the World Trade Center, at an office party in
San Bernardino, at the Boston Marathon and a military recruiting center in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, and many, many other locations.

Only weeks ago, in Orlando, Florida, 49 wonderful Americans were

savagely murdered by an Islamic terrorist. This time, the terrorist
targeted LGBTQ community. No good, and we're gonna stop it. As your
president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens
from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. Believe me.

And I have to say, as a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for

what I just said. Thank you.

To protect us from terrorism, we need to focus on three things.

We must have the best, absolutely the best gathering of intelligence
anywhere in the world. The best. We must abandon the failed policy of
nation building and regime change that Hillary Clinton pushed in Iraq,
Libya, Egypt and in Syria. Instead, we must work with all of our allies who
share our goal of destroying ISIS and stamping out Islamic terrorism and
doing it now, doing it quickly, we're going to win, we're going to win fast.

This includes working with our greatest ally in the region, the state of
Israel.

Recently, I have said that NATO was obsolete. Because it did not properly
cover terrorism. And also, that many of the member countries were not
paying their fair share. As usual, the United States has been picking up the
cost. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that NATO will be setting up a
new program in order to combat terrorism. A true step in the right
direction.

Lastly, and very importantly, we must immediately suspend immigration

from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as
proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place. We don't want them in
our country.

My opponent has called for a radical 550% increase in Syrian -- think of

this, think of this, this is not believable but this is what's happening -- a
550% increase in Syrian refugees on top of existing massive refugee flows
coming into our country already under the leadership of President
Obama. She proposes this despite the fact that theres no way to screen
these refugees in order to find out who they are or where they come from. I
only want to admit individuals into our country who will support our values
and love our people.

Anyone who endorses violence, hatred or oppression is not welcome in our

country and never ever will be.

Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher

unemployment for our citizens, especially for African American and Latino
workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one
that works for the American people.

On Monday, we heard from three parents whose children were killed by

illegal immigrants. Mary Ann Mendoza, Sabine Durden and my friend
Jamiel Shaw. They're just three brave representatives of many thousands
who have suffered so gravely. Of all my travels in this country, nothing has
affected me more, nothing even close I have to tell you, than the time I have
spent with the mothers and fathers who have lost their children to violence
spilling across our borders. Which we can solve. We have to solve it.

These families have no special interests to represent them. There are no

demonstrators to protect them and certainly none to protest on their
behalf. My opponent will never meet with them, or share in their pain,
believe me. Instead, my opponent wants sanctuary cities. But where was the
sanctuary for Kate Steinle? Where was sanctuary for the children of Mary
Ann and Sabine and Jamiel? Where was sanctuary for all of, aw, it's so sad
to even be talking about it, because we can solve it so quickly. Where was
the sanctuary for the other Americans who have been so brutally
murdered and who have suffered so horribly?

These wounded American families have been alone. But they are not alone
any longer. Tonight, this candidate and the whole nation stand in their
corner to support them, to send them our love and to pledge in their honor
that we will save countless more families from suffering and the same awful
fate.

We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop
the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our
communities. I have been honored to receive the endorsement of Americas
border patrol agents, and will work directly with them to protect the
integrity of our lawful, lawful, lawful immigration system. Lawful.

By ending catch-and-release on the border, we will end the cycle of human

smuggling and violence. Illegal border crossings will go down. We will stop
it. It won't be happening very much any more, believe me. Peace will be
restored. By enforcing the rules for millions who overstay their visas, our
laws will finally receive the respect that they deserve.

Tonight, I want every American whose demands for immigration security

have been denied and every politician who has denied them to listen
very, very closely to the words I am about to say.

On January 20th of 2017, the day I take the oath of office, Americans will
finally wake up in a country where the laws of the United States are
enforced. We are going to be considerate and compassionate to everyone.

But my greatest compassion will be for our own struggling citizens. USA,
USA, USA. My plan is the exact opposite of the radical and dangerous
immigration policy of Hillary Clinton. Americans want relief from
uncontrolled immigration. Which is what we have now. Communities want
relief.

Yet Hillary Clinton is proposing mass amnesty, mass immigration and mass
lawlessness. Her plan will overwhelm your schools and hospitals, further
reduce your jobs and wages, and make it harder for recent immigrants to
escape the tremendous cycle of from poverty that they're going through
right now, and make it almost impossible for them to join the middle class.

I have a different vision for our workers. It begins with a new, fair trade
policy that protects our jobs and stands up to countries that cheat, of which
there are many. Its been a signature message of my campaign from Day
One, and it will be a signature feature of my presidency from the moment I
take the oath of office.

I have made billions of dollars in business making deals now Im going to

make our country rich again. Using the greatest business people in the
world, which our country has, I am going to turn our bad trade agreements
into great trade agreements. America has lost nearly one-third of its
manufacturing jobs since 1997, following the enactment of disastrous trade
deals supported by Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Remember, it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA, one of the worst
economic deals ever made by our country or frankly any other country.

Never ever again.

I am going to bring our jobs to Ohio and Pennsylvania and New York and
Michigan and all of America and I am not going to let companies move to
other countries, firing their employees along the way, without consequence.
Not gonna happen anymore.

My opponent, on the other hand, has supported virtually every trade

agreement that has been destroying our middle class. She supported
NAFTA, and she supported Chinas entrance into the World Trade
Organization another one of her husbands colossal mistakes and
disasters.

She supported the job-killing trade deal with South Korea. She supported
the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will not only destroy our
manufacturing, but it will make America subject to the rulings of foreign
governments. And it's not going to happen. I pledge to never sign any trade
agreement that hurts our workers, or that diminishes our freedom or our
independence. We will never, ever sign these trade deals. America first
again. America first.

Instead, I will make individual deals with individual countries.

No longer will we enter into these massive transactions, with many

countries, that are thousands of pages long and which no one from our
country even reads or understands. We are going to enforce all trade
violations against any country that cheats.

This includes stopping Chinas outrageous theft of intellectual

property, along with their illegal product dumping, and their devastating
currency manipulation. They are the greatest that ever came about, they are
the greatest currency manipulators ever.
Our horrible trade agreements with China and many others will be totally
renegotiated. That includes renegotiating NAFTA to get a much better deal
for America and well walk away if we dont get that kind of a deal. Our
country is going to start building and making things again.

Next comes the reform of our tax laws, regulations and energy rules. While
Hillary Clinton plans a massive, and I mean massive, tax increase, I
have proposed the largest tax reduction of any candidate who has run for
president this year Democrat or Republican. Middle-income Americans
and businesses will experience profound relief, and taxes will be greatly
simplified for everyone. And I mean everyone.

America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world. Reducing taxes

will cause new companies and new jobs to come roaring back into our
country. Believe me, it'll happen and it'll happen fast. Then we are going to
deal with the issue of regulation, one of the greatest job-killers of them all.
Excessive regulation is costing our country as much as $2 trillion a year,
and we will end it very, very quickly. We are going to lift the restrictions on
the production of American energy. This will produce more than $20
trillion in job creating economic activity over the next four decades.

My opponent, on the other hand, wants to put the great miners and the
great steelworkers of our country out of work and out of business.That will
never happen when I am president. Our steelworkers and our miners are
going back to work again. With these new economic policies, trillions of
dollars will start flowing into our country.

This new wealth will improve the quality of life for all Americans. We will
build the roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports and the railways of
tomorrow. This, in turn, will create millions of more jobs. We will rescue
kids from failing schools by helping their parents send them to a safe school
of their choice.

My opponent would rather protect bureaucrats than serve American

children. And that's what she's doing, and that's what she's done.
We will repeal and replace disastrous Obamacare. You will be able to
choose your own doctor again.

And we will fix TSA at the airports! Which is a total disaster. Thank you,
thank you.

We're going to work with all of our students who are drowning in debt to
take the pressure off these people just starting out in their adult lives.
Tremendous problem.

We will completely rebuild our depleted military. And the countries that we
are protecting, at a massive cost to us, will be asked to pay their fair share.

We will take care of our great veterans like they have never been taken care
of before. My just released 10-point plan has received tremendous veterans'
support. We will guarantee those who serve this country will be able to visit
the doctor or hospital of their choice without waiting five days on a line and
dying.

My opponent dismissed the VA scandal one more sign of how out of

touch she really is. We are going to ask every department head in
government to provide a list of wasteful spending on projects that we can
eliminate in my first 100 days. The politicians have talked about this for
years, but Im going to do it.

We are going to appoint justices of the United States Supreme Court who
will uphold our laws and our Constitution.

The replacement of our beloved Justice Scalia will be a person of similar

views, principles and judicial philosophies. Very important. This will be one
of the most important issues decided by this election.

My opponent wants to essentially abolish the 2nd Amendment. I, on the

other hand, received the early and strong endorsement of the National Rifle
Assn. and will protect the right of all Americans to keep their families safe.
At this moment, I would like to thank the evangelical and religious
community because I'll tell you what, the support they've given me, and I'm
not sure I totally deserve it, has been so awesome and has had such a big
reason for me being here tonight. True, so true.

They have much to contribute to our politics, yet our laws prevent you from
speaking your minds from your own pulpits.

An amendment which, by Lyndon Johnson, many years ago, threatens

religious institutions with a loss of their tax-exempt status if they openly
advocate their political views. I am going to work very hard to repeal that
language and protect free speech for all Americans.

We can accomplish these great things, and so much more all we need to
do is start believing in ourselves and in our country again. It is time to show
the whole world that America is back bigger and better and stronger than
ever before.

In this journey, I'm so lucky to have at my side my wife Melania and my

wonderful children Don, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron. You will always
be my greatest source of pride and joy. And by the way, Melania and
Ivanka, did they do a job. My dad, Fred Trump, was the smartest and
hardest-working man I ever knew. I wonder sometimes what hed say if he
were here to see this and to see me tonight.

Its because of him that I learned, from my youngest age, to respect the
dignity of work and the dignity of working people. He was a guy most
comfortable in the company of bricklayers and carpenters,and electricians.
And I have a lot of that in me also. I love those people. Then theres my
mother, Mary. She was strong but also warm and fair-minded. She was a
truly great mother. She was also one of the most honest and charitable
people that I have ever known, and a great, great judge of character. She
could pick 'em out from anywhere.

To my sisters Mary Anne and Elizabeth, my brother Robert and my late

brother Fred, I will always give you my love. You are most special to me.
I have had a truly great life in business. But now, my sole and exclusive
mission is to go to work for our country to go to work for all of you. Its
time to deliver a victory for the American people. We don't win anymore,
but we're going to start winning again! But to do that, we must break free
from the petty politics of the past.

America is a nation of believers, dreamers and strivers that is being led by a

group of censors, critics and cynics.

Remember: All of the people telling you you cant have the country you
want are the same people telling you that wouldn't stand. I mean they said
Trump doesn't stand a chance of being here tonight, not a chance. The same
people. Oh, we love defeating those people don't we. We love defeating
them. Love it, love it. No longer can we rely on those elites in media and
politics who will say anything to keep our rigged system in place.

Instead, we must choose to believe In America. History is watching us now.

We don't have much time. But history is watching. Its waiting to see if we
will rise to the occasion, and if we will show the whole world that America is
still free and independent and strong.

I am asking for you to support tonight so that I can be your champion in the
White House. And I will be your champion. My opponent asks her
supporters to recite a three-word loyalty pledge. It reads: "Im With Her." I
choose to recite a different pledge.

My pledge reads: Im With You The American People.

I am your voice.

So to every parent who dreams for their child and every child who dreams
for their future, I say these words to you tonight: I am with you. I will fight
for you, and I will win for you.

To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities and all of our towns, I make
this promise: We will make America strong again.
We will make America proud again.

We will make America safe again.

And we will make America great again.

God bless you and goodnight. I love you.

Wilmington, North Carolina 2nd Ammendment

TRUMP: Thank you. Thank you very much.

(APPLAUSE) Thank you very much. So amazing. Rudy just left. He just said, I
dont believe this. This is unbelievable. Nobody believes it.

(APPLAUSE)

The crowds were getting Im the messenger, but Ill tell you what, the
message is the right message. Were tired of incompetence. Were tired of not
taking care of our military. Were tired of not taking care of our vets, who are
being taken care of very poorly.

Were tired of so many different things. And this is what happens. So, our
mayor, my friend, Rudy Giuliani just walks, Im telling you, he said, I dont
believe this. This is incredible.

And what he hasnt seen, and your governor, by the way, whos a great guy.
And hes now seeing it, theyre walking outside because there are thousands of
people outside that cant get in. I said, Rudy, you think this is bad, go take a
look outside.

So I just want to thank Pat and Rudy and I want to thank everybody for being
here. And we are going to have a good time. We love North Carolina. We love
North Carolina.
(APPLAUSE)

We did really well in the primaries if you remember, and I hear we are doing
really well now. We have to win. That November 8 day is so important.

You know, I bring things up like the judges right? Supreme Court Justices, we
have to get you know, you could have as many as four? I guess its a scenario
where this president could pick five Supreme Court Justices.

And if you pick two that are left, left, left, its going to be a disaster for our
country. Your Second Amendment, the National Rifle Association endorsed and
they endorsed me early, a long time ago. And theyre great people, Wayne and
Chris, they are great people.

(APPLAUSE)

But if you if you do something with these Ill tell you what, Justices right
now, you lost a great one with Scalia. We want to replace with Justices very
much like Justice Scalia and thats going to happen. It is so important.

So if for no other reason, I mean its such an important its one of the most
important elections for a lot of reasons, not just that but for a lot of reasons. But
thats so obviously, because for whatever reason, they say this could be the
presidency. This next four years is where you will pick more Supreme Court
Justices than anybody has every had the opportunity to do . Believe me, Ill
make you very proud of those Justices everyday.

(APPLAUSE) So we had an incident a few days ago with the $400 million all
cash, right $400 million in all cash, anybody know what that looks like?
Thats a lot of cash. Thats a lot of case.

And honestly, its so sad. Think of it, going to Iran, a terrorist state. Now I
happen to think they have plenty of money, weve given then $150 billion, so the
$400 million is just, you know I happen to think it goes into their accounts in
Switzerland personally.

Now, a lot of people say, no, no, its used for terror, and they use it for terror
because its the number one terror funder not even close. But I also think that
when you have $400 million in cash, different denominations, do you see the
size of this? I guess they did release the pictures after all. They released
pictures.

And interesting Ill tell you, I sort of think it goes into bank accounts, right? You
know, I sort of think they take it, they probably use some for this, some for that.
You can do a lot of things.

And Obama said that he did it because we dont have a working account with
Iran. Do you believe that? How long does it take to set up an account? Right?
You dont have a working account, you set up an account, right?

You set up an account and it takes about look, whats going on in this country
folks, folks, whats going on in this country is insane. And we have people
running our country that dont know what theyre doing, theyre grossly
incompetent, and its time. We have to make change, real change. Not Obama
change, we have to make change.

Whether its Bergdahl (ph), we get Bergdahl (ph) who was a traitor, and they
get five of the greatest killers that theyve wanted for eight years. We get
Bergdahl I call it the five for one trade. For the Iran deal, where we get
nothing, we get nothing.

They get ultimately, they have the path, beautiful path, theyll get way, way
earlier than that. Theyll get nuclear weapons, so if you get Trump youre going
to see a lot of changes to that deal. Thatll happen fast.

(APPLAUSE)
Youre going to see some big changes and what I really I mean, I saw where
President Obama said that the $400 million in cash was not, had nothing to do
with the release of the hostages, right? It really doesnt work, does it? Does it? I
mean, remember Obamacare, youre going to keep your doctor, youre going to
keep your plan, over and over again, youre going to keep your doctor. It was a
lie.

And in fact, if he didnt make the lie, he would have never gotten it approved
because most Democrats, many of the Democrats didnt want to do it. It was
only that, that got them to sign it and to approve it. And it was a lie.

And the $400 million, and from what the rumor is and from what the reports
are, the hostages couldnt leave the airport until this other plane arrived. They
dont know why, but I think we all have a pretty good reason why. It was all a
big lie, it was all a big lie. And its so sad to see, and let me tell you, Hillary
Clinton is going to be four more years of Obama, but maybe worse. Maybe
worse. Therell be four more years. Four more years of ISIS, four more years of
high taxes. You know yesterday I had a at a big event, really. It turned out to
be a very big event in Detroit and

(APPLAUSE)

Good event, very good. And we got wonderful reviews and a lot of good
comments. But the thing Im doing, Im cutting taxes big league. Especially for
the middle class and especially for businesses. Because businesses are dying and
that means small businesses, businesses period.

(APPLAUSE) Businesses are leaving our country like theyve never left before.
Theyre going all over. Theyre going to Mexico, that I can tell you. Mexico is
like the eighth wonder of the world. You know Ive been telling a story, a friend
of mine, good friend of mine, good guy. He builds plants, he builds plants for
cars, for computers, you know where they make them. Massive plants. And I
said to him, how are you doing?
And hes worked in North Carolina, by the way. I said to him, how are you
doing? He said phenomenal. Hes like, I think the biggest in the world at this -
thats what he does. Great guy. I said hows it all going? He said, youve got to
see Mexico, Donald. Its the eighth wonder of the world. What were building
there is like, never has been built. Weve never seen anything like it.

And I said, how are we doing in the United States? Im more interested in that,
OK? Its OK I guess. Right? You know, America first, folks. America first.
America.

(APPLAUSE)

Right, America first.

(APPLAUSE)

America first. We get a little tired of these deals where they actually put, and
you know why, because of lobbyists and special interests and people
representing and people wanting it to happen. Its just not that they want other
countries to benefit over us. There are reasons for it and you know, when I raise
money, and Im putting up a lot of money for my own campaign, Im funding
me.

And Im raising for the Republican party. And were getting a lot of money from
the small donors.

Remember two months ago? Well, I hadnt started; I wanted to make sure I get
the nomination before I start, right?

Let me get the nomination, please. And then I took a lot of heat from the press,
the worlds most dishonest people, by the way.

(APPLAUSE) Terrible.
(APPLAUSE)

Terrible.

(APPLAUSE)

Those cameras will not move and show how many people are in this
auditorium. Those cameras those cameras are not going on the move unless
we have a protester, is there a protester up there in the quota (ph)? Any
protesters?

(LAUGHTER)

If we had a protester thats the only time they move because theyre showing
something that in their mind is a bad thing, so then they move. But I like that,
Ive always liked my protesters because the cameras show these massive crowds
and people say wow, was that a big crowd.

You know, I go home to my wife, I say hows it going? She says darling, your
speech was very good, were there many people there? I say yeah, about 7,000.
Thats a small group.

Its only confined I mean you had to see outside. I felt so badly I came up
I came up thank you and I love you too. Who said that? Who said that, huh?

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you, thank you. But I came up with Rudy from New York and were
driving up and were going block after block after block the line. And I said are
those people going to be able to get in?
They said the place is already full. And Rudy just said man; Ive never seen
anything like that. Maybe a couple of days before an election, but this is whats
happening. Because of the fact we have a movement going, folks.

Because people are so tired of them.

(APPLAUSE)

Theyre so tired of them.

(APPLAUSE)

So and by the way and by the way, voter ID, watch with that. Watch with
voter ID, why arent we having voter ID? In other words, I wanna vote, heres
my identification, I wanna vote, as opposed to somebody coming up and voting
15 times for Hillary.

(AUDIENCE BOOS)

Well and I will not tell you to vote 15 times. I will not tell you to do that, OK?

(APPLAUSE)

You wont vote 15 times. But people will, theyll vote many times and how that
couldve happened , its unbelievable. Gnd the governor just told me that theyre
going before the United States Supreme Court Justice Roberts and maybe they
can get a stay. Lets see what happens, OK?

(APPLAUSE)

Lets see what happens. Thats a very important thing. But I wrote a few things
down and to me, so important yes, darling thank you.
(LAUGHTER)

Unstable Hillary lacks the judgment, now; Bernie Sanders said she lacks
judgment, right? And nobody said anything about it, no problem. He said you
lack judgment. And during one of the debates, nobody said, it was fine.

When I say it they say thats terrible the way you talk.

(LAUGHTER)

She does, she lacks judgment, she lacks temperament and Im the one that used
unfit many, many months ago. And now theyve turned it around, use it on me,
unfit? Im unfit? Thats thats a first. But she lacks the temperament and the
moral character to lead this country, its very simple.

She really does. Shes a dangerous person who doesnt tell the truth which has
been proven very loudly.

Ive never seen a I dont think weve ever had greater proof of that, of
anybody.

(APPLAUSE)

And she has disregarded the lives of Americans you see whats happening
with what she has done with her server? And you know why she did that.

So, I just look at this, and I said that if she gets elected, she will cause the
destruction of this country from within. Remember that. Remember that.

(APPLAUSE)

She will she will allow people into our country that will do damage, they will
do damage, folks. You look at whats going on in the world look at France;
take a good look at France. I have friends that go to France. They used to love
France.

They say, no thank you. They dont expect to be going back anytime for a long
time.

I have one friend, I said, how was your trip this year to France? He said,
France isnt France anymore. Were not going. And so many people are saying
that.

Look at whats going on with Germany. Look at whats happening with

Germany. Look at the crime; look at the problems. We have enough problems in
our country right now. We dont need additional problems, folks. We dont need
additional problems.

(APPLAUSE)

And for all we know, this could be the great Trojan Horse. This could be. We
dont know who these people are.

Now, theyre coming in through Obama. And I looked at a chart yesterday, and
its like for years, its sort of like this, a little uptick. And the last number or
period of time, its like, Wah, wah, wah, wah. There I have never seen
anything like it.

Theyre letting them in, and again, you cant vet them. You dont know where
they come from. We dont know look at the damage that two people in San
Bernardino, probably radicalized the guy the woman coming in. Look at the
damage in Orlando. Look at the damage that was done in Orlando by one wack
job, one sick wack job. And you know what he was screaming? Hes screaming
what they all scream.
And we have to get smart, folks. We dont need the problems and weve
already got those problems, just so you understand. Because theyre coming
into the country, theyre being put where nobody even knows where they are.

Its like, if I were the enemy, I would say, I cant believe theyre that stupid.
Theyre taking my people and theyre putting them all over the place, because
you have great military right here.

And our military

(APPLAUSE)

Our military cannot be beaten. But you know what could happen? When we
dont know where they are, where theyre coming, youve them all over the
place.

And folks, its some. You dont need many; you dont need many. One person in
Orlando. Two people look at in France, 130. Now, they have the strictest gun
laws anywhere in the world, France, Paris. One hundred and thirty people
killed, 130.

And Ive said 100 times, if this man or if this woman, or if that woman or man
had a gun in Paris or in San Bernardino and the bullets were flying in the other
direction, would have been a whole different story, folks.

Would have been a whole different.

(APPLAUSE)

For those for those foolish people that say Second Amendment, would have
been a whole different and Id go a step further. If these people, bad people,
bad, sick, sick, sick people.
If these people knew there were guns in the good guys hands, right, they
probably wouldnt have gone in in the first place, all right? All right? Gun free
what do you think of these gun- free zones?

Do you know what a gun-free zone is? Thats like they study where the gun-
free zones if they would have known you had guns, if they would have known
that they were going to be shot at from the other side, it would have been a
whole different story. Maybe it wouldnt have even happened in the first place.

So they better not come here. They better not. They better not.

(APPLAUSE)

So recently a book came out a couple of weeks ago. A Secret Service agent made
a statement because she said the other day she short-circuited. Hey, could you
imagine if I said that I short circuited?

(LAUGHTER)

They would be calling for my execution, electric chair. Theyd bring back the
electric chair. It would be a whole different ball game if I said it, believe me. But
the Secret Service agent said, She simply lacks the integrity and temperament
to serve in the office, right?

From the bottom of my soul, he said, I know this to be true. Her leadership
style, which is volcanic and impulsive, and she makes bad decisions. OK?

Hey, you know, its one thing to make bad decisions. Its another thing to be
wacky and make bad decisions.

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)
She is disdainful of the rules set for everyone else and she hasnt changed a bit.
This is that was the good thing. I couldnt say the bad things. It was too
much. Nobody would even nobody would even believe it. Youve got to see this
book. Nobody would believe because its so terrible, so terrible. And she comes
across like this woman nice, easy but shes not. And and shes listen
shes not a leader, not a leader. And she is a liar.

(APPLAUSE)

Hey, hey 33,000 e-mails are gone. OK? 33,000 e-mails are gone. Theyre
gone. How do you get rid of 33,000 e-mails? Who sends 33,000 e-mails? I
mean, 33 do you know how many that is? I think thats like 24 hours a day
reading them or sending them, but it wouldnt matter. For years, 33,000 e-
mails are missing.

And shes so guilty. Shes so guilty.

(APPLAUSE)

I think its a tremendous blot in our country. I really mean that. I think what
happened over the last two weeks with respect to her, especially in light of the
fact that General Petraeus and many others have suffered unbelievable
consequences. I think its a tremendous blot on our country, a tremendous blot.
Just remember that.

But I just looked at this the economic failures of Obama and Clinton, et
cetera. Obama-Clinton economic policies have produced 1.2 percent economic
growth, the weakest so-called recovery since the Great Depression. Now, this is,
like, unbelievable 1.2.

Do you know China goes to 7 percent or 8 percent, its like a national

catastrophe. Now, what they do is they cut their currency. They devalue their
currency, and big league, and then all of our businesses continue to be drained
out of the United States. Our money, our jobs. They make our product, they sell
our product to us. No tax, no nothing, you devalue see devaluing is sort of
cheating.

You know, its sort of like cheating. Now I have great relationships with China.
Ive done great business with China, Ive done really well with China. I have
these tenants, I sell condos, I own the Bank of America building in San Francisco
with a group, a great group, thank you maam.

(APPLAUSE)

Got to win got to win North Carolina. Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you. But they its cheating, its really cheating. And when I look at
these trade deals its so sad where we lose $800 billion billion with B
dollars a year on trade with China alone, its $400 billion and $500 billion and
$505 billion. This is year in and year out, its actually amazing that our country
keeps going. But what has happened is, we have people in the audience, in 18
years, theyre making less money now than they made 18 years ago, in real
wages, 18.

And in many cases, theyre working two and three jobs, OK? But theyre making
less money now than they made 18 years ago. And those stats come right out,
real wages. Theyre working harder, theyre getting older.

So in theory its supposed to be the other way, you know you work and youre
young, you dont care. Get a little older, its like, oh by the way, how about me? I
think Im working harder too, if you want to know.

(APPLAUSE)
I never worked this hard in my life. But I like it, I like it, I love it actually
because Ive met so many incredible people. You know I really got thank you
I really got a tremendous understanding of this country. Because Im going to
places that Ive heard about, Ive known about, Im stopping everywhere. And I
see the carnage that NAFTA has caused, I see the carnage. Its been horrible. I
see upstate New York, I see North Carolina, but I see every state. You look at
New England. New England got really whacked. New England got hit.

You look at Ohio, what happened there, and still happening. By the way, this
isnt like its going to happen or its all over, its getting worse. You look at Ohio,
you look at Michigan, whats going on with the car plants being built in Mexico,
is unbelievable.

And more and more, you know theyre moving. We were just talking about the
autoworkers yesterday. Where theyve lost over 100,000 autoworkers in
Michigan, the state of Michigan, which is our car capital and its really not the
car capital anymore. Mexico will become the new car capital of the world in a
very short period of time. No, think of it.

And thats only because we allow it to happen. And I like Mexico. And I respect
the leaders of Mexico because theyre much smarter, theyre much street
smarter, but theyre much smarter and more cunning than our leaders. But you
have to see whats going on. And one of the reasons I won Indiana was Bobby
Knight, because hes the best, hes the greatest.

(APPLAUSE)

But one of the reasons is that Carrier Air Conditioning let 1,400 people go and
theyre building a plant in Mexico. And were not going to let it happen, folks.
Look, right now as you stand here, you think you have great jobs. Companies
are negotiating from North Carolina to move to Mexico, and other places. Its
not just Mexico, by the way. Made possible by our federal government, made
possible by the people that enacted this suicidal pact.
Its a suicidal pact for our country. And you know Ive watched for years.

I was never a politician until 14 months ago. So I cant believe Im saying Im a

politician. (APPLAUSE)

Cant believe it.

(APPLAUSE)

But but Ive been watching for years and Ive watched as as the
government tries to keep businesses from leaving our country and going to
other countries. And Ive seen low interest loans, Ive seen zero interest loans,
Ive seen all sorts of subsidies.

I get it. That stuffs not gonna work, thats not gonna work. Whats gonna work
is as an example, Carrier moves to Mexico and you wish him a lot of luck,
good luck, have a nice plant. I hope my friend bills it (ph), right?

And then you know what happens? When they make their air conditioners
and then think theyre gonna sell that air conditioner, people living in
Indianapolis where they come from for a similar price.

And they think theyre gonna sell it there and have no repercussions? With me,
they have repercussions, OK?

(APPLAUSE)

With me, they have repercussions.

(APPLAUSE)

With me, we inform them that if you move, youre gonna pay a 35 percent tax
on every single air conditioner that pour across our now very secure borders.
(APPLAUSE)

And two things are gonna happen, one of two things one of two things are
gonna happen. Number one, if you get them in time, theyre not moving.
Throws it all off-balance, since theyre all off-kilter. Number one theyre not
now, nobody people would say well, why doesnt anybody use this? Why
doesnt anybody mention it?

Ill tell you why. Because theyre controlled by their lobbyists, theyre
politicians. And Carrier goes out or whoever it might be this Im just using
Carrier as an example. Its hundreds and thousands. Its thousands of company.

And millions of jobs were talking about. I was looking at numbers Im not
gonna repeat the numbers because theyll say I was wrong, it cant be that high,
I couldnt believe it was that high. But its thousands of companies and millions
and millions of jobs.

And youd say why arent like, why doesnt somebody else say what Trump is
saying? So Im controlled by myself because Im putting up my money, OK? Im
putting up my money.

(APPLAUSE)

But

(APPLAUSE) Although we raised, did you see $82 million last month, $82
million last month?

(APPLAUSE)

And a lot of it a lot of the money was the small donations which republicans
never get. A lot of them I think it averaged $61 a hit, $61 can you imagine
that? The total that we raised and in fact, in May I told you I was taking heat
because they said Donald Trump didnt raise any money.

And they told you why, right? I didnt raise it because I didnt know I gotta
make sure I got the nomination. If I didnt get the nomination, I wouldve gone
to Turnberry and played golf, OK?

(LAUGHTER)

In Scotland. But you know what? I got the nomination so now I had a start. And
we raised $51 million in June, right? A lot of it in small donations and we raised
$82 million in July.

People are going, even the haters back there, the people that truly hate Trump
they said, thats amazing. So were doing all right. And people look, they
want they wanna hear this message. Because this is a message this is an
important message.

But when you say and when you hear what I just said you charge a tariff
or a tax. And guess what? And people said why hasnt the why havent the
politicians, theyre smart, why havent they done it?

Because theyre controlled by people that work for many of these companies
and theyre not gonna do it. Whether its donors or whether its special interests
or lobbyists they control because they want it to happen.

And honestly, I think its a total disgrace.

I think its a total disgrace for the millions of jobs, and for the thousands and
thousands of companies that have left our country. If I were here to speak to
every one of those companies for five minutes bye, bye.
They were so quiet. You know, I like the Hillary protesters. You know why?
Theyre so nice and quiet. The Bernie protesters were brutal; they were tough.
Right? The Hillary protesters had no spirit. Did you see that?

She starts screaming and the guy walks up, Ill go.

(LAUGHTER) The Bernie ones were they had a lot more spirit. I think were
going to get a lot of Bernie voters, if you want to know the truth. Because they
do understand that trade is killing us. Trade.

(APPLAUSE) So, a few things, a few other facts I wrote, which I think are
amazing. One is the 1.2 percent lowest in, you know, forget it. Thats not a
recovery. Its probably much dont forget, when they announced 1.2 percent,
that means its lower. And 1.2 is starting to set records.

The national debt so, were up to almost $20 trillion $20 trillion! The
national debt under Obama has doubled. Think of it, doubled. Might be, I think
by the time he gets out, its going to more than double, but again, we have to
very accurate.

Because Ill say theyll say, well, it hasnt quite doubled. Believe me, by the
time he gets out it will have more than doubled.

The national debt has doubled. And you know the bad part about that? You
think if the national debt has doubled, our infrastructure would be great, our
country would be in great shape.

Wed have beautiful roads, beautiful highways. You see where like 50 percent of
the bridges are in danger in this country. And the roadways are a mess.

I have a friend, hes in the trucking business. He said, you know, for years, he
had no problem. Now he buys these big, beautiful trucks, and the wheels get
wiped out because of the potholes on the highways and things that he never
had. So, you think with all of that doubling of the national debt, youd really
think that wed be in good shape from the infrastructure standpoint, right?
Were not. Were in very bad shape.

U.S. trade deficit, $800 almost $800 billion. Nearly 24 million Americans in
their prime earning years are out of the labor force, right?

In the last seven years, another 14 million people have left the work force. Think
of it. These are the real numbers, not the 5 percent nonsense.

You know, you look for a job, you cant find your job, you go home, you share,
you go to your parents, you go to your friends, you do whatever. You gave up,
and now youre considered statistically, youre considered employed.

Those people are not employed; these are great people. And there are plenty of
them in here.

I mean, we have great people. We have the most loyal people. We have the
smartest people. You know, so many of my people, theyre so smart. They like to
say, well, Trump, I dont know if hes got this right let me tell you, we have
the smartest people. We have the people that are the smartest, and the
strongest, and the best and the hardest working.

(APPLAUSE)

We have the smartest people. Well put I.Q.s among some of us, we couldnt
say all of us, right against any I.Q.s that we we have to deal with, that I
can tell you. I would love to do that.

In the last seven years, 14 million. One in five American households do not have
a single member in the workforce. Pretty bad.
Homeownership this is one that is amazing to me today, homeownership is
at its lowest rate in 51 years.

So you own homes, I mean it always used to be the dream to own a home, right?
The American home.

Lowest that its been in so many years, 51 years. Nearly 12 million people and
more Americans are dependent on food stamps and 2 million more Latino
Americans live in poverty under Obama and Clinton under Obama; because
Clintons just gonna carry on.

You know, I dont know if you saw. I gave a massive tax decrease yesterday at
regulations, were gonna get rid of so many of them. But Clinton is gonna
double your taxes; shes gonna double up your taxes.

And shes trying to say well, I dont know like Trumps way shes gonna
double up your taxes. Youre gonna have massive tax increases is Clinton gets
in. Enjoy enjoy it folks, if that happens.

Fifty eight percent of African American youth are not employed. How sad is
that? American households are earning $4,000 less listen to this one, today
than they were 16 years ago. Many workers are earning less than 1970 in real
dollars.

So 1970 thats a long time ago, right? Theyre earning in real dollars less
money. So under my plan, were gonna create millions of new and really good
paying jobs. You know, its interesting because even the pro-Obama people say
about the jobs that theyre bad jobs.

Ive heard it from many of the people. Theyre trying to defend him. But they
say theyre bad jobs, theyre not good jobs. The good jobs the good jobs have
left. But well create millions of new good paying jobs but good jobs.
Thats so important, thats so important.

(APPLAUSE)

Everyones taxes will go down. Hillary Clinton has supported tax increases on
the middle class for her entire career. Shes voted for higher taxes, 235 times in
the Senate. Thats all? I thought it was more than that, 235 times. I hope theres
not a decimal point in there or so, 23.5 times.

But I dont think there is voted for higher taxes, 235 times in the Senate. Now,
shes planning another job killing $1.3 trillion tax increase, thats what her
tax increase is gonna be, folks. Like youre not paying enough, right?

Her plan will tax many small business businesses who are already in deep
trouble out of business. Then we have we will make and this is so
important, this was an Ivanka Trump, OK? My daughter, so great.

(APPLAUSE)

So great.

(APPLAUSE)

Were gonna make childcare expenses tax deductible for working families.

(APPLAUSE)

And just many, many other things. I mean, were gonna make some
unbelievable changes and its its so easy. Again, you know regulations Im
traveling all over and Im meeting with business owners and beyond business
owners, even people that work at the businesses, theyre being laid off because
of it.
Regulations; if I told you and Im so surprised, this is probably the biggest
surprise if you have a small business and I said, you can have one or the
other, a major tax cut like were gonna you know, were bringing it down to
15 percent from more than much more than double that.

But if I told you that you could have a massive tax decrease or really
substantially but in a real way cut regulations a hundred percent of the
people I talk to would take the regulation, if you could only have one or the
other. Its amazing, its amazing.

And that surprised me. Surprised you too?

(APPLAUSE)

Surprised him, too.

(APPLAUSE)

A hundred percent. I mean, everybody businesses cant form anymore, the

tax the regulatory burden is so incredible that you cant form businesses
very hard and businesses that are in existence are being put out of existence
for regulations that dont do anything. We want safety regulations, we want
environmental regulations. Were not, you know, people that dont want these
things. We have to have that.

We want clear air, we want clean water. We want clear water. But but

(APPLAUSE)

To do that and there are certain things that you want to do, but to do that,
you dont have to destroy our country and destroy our businesses. (APPLAUSE)
So you know, I just wrote this down today. Hillary wants to raise taxes. Its a
comparison. I want to lower them. Hillary wants to expand regulations, which
she does big league (ph). Can you believe that? I will reduce them very, very
substantially. Could be as much as 70, 75 percent.

(APPLAUSE)

Hillary wants to shut down energy production. I want to expand it.

(APPLAUSE)

Lower electric lower electric bills, folks. Hillary wants to abolish

essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick

(CROWD BOOING) If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I dont know. But
but Ill tell you what. That will be a horrible day. If if Hillary gets to put her
judges right now, were tied. You see whats going on.

XXX you see whats going on? We tied because Scalia this was not suppose to
happen. Justice Scalia was going to be around for ten more years at least and
this is what happens. That was a horrible thing.

So now look at it. So Hillary essentially wants to abolish the Second

Amendment. Now, speaking to the NRA folks who are great when you
when you and Ill tell you, they endorsed me.

(APPLAUSE)

They endorsed me very early. My sons a member. Im a member.

If you we can add I think the National Rifle Association, we can add the
Second Amendment to the Justices they almost go in a certain way, hand in
hand. Now the Justices are going to do things that are so important and we
have such great Justices, you saw my list of 11 that have been vetted and
respected.

(APPLAUSE)

And have gotten great. And they to a little equate but if you dont do the right
thing, either youre not going to have a Second Amendment or youre not going
to have much of it left. And youre not going to be able to protect yourself, which
you need.

You know, when the bad guys burst into your house, theyre not looking about
into Second Amendments, and, do I have the right to do this? OK, the bad guys
arent going to be giving up their weapons.

But the good people will say, oh, well, thats the law. No, no, not going to
happen, we cant let it happen. We cant let it happen.

(APPLAUSE)

Hillary Clinton wants to have totally open borders where people flow into our
country.

(AUDIENCE BOOS)

Where they flow into our country, and they take your jobs, and they do lots of
things. And I want people to come into our country but they have to do it
through a process, they have to do it legally, right?

(APPLAUSE)

So you have drugs pouring in. You have everything coming in.
You know, in New Hampshire, a great state, they have a tremendous heroin
problem. I said to them, we will stop the drugs from pouring in to our country
from the Southern border. Theyre going to stop.

(APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: And by the way, we will build a wall. Thats legal.

(APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: Walls do work. Walls do work.

(APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: Now heres one and you know I mean she doesnt look that way, but
she is Hillary wants to invade foreign countries. Thats what she does and
look at the mess. So weve spent you know for two years, for three years, Ive
been saying we spent $2 trillion, right, in Iraq, more now, I guess. Somebody
actually said to me the other day that they were talking about four or five
trillion in the Middle East.

And Im going to get the accurate number. They dont know the accurate
number, the truth is they have no idea. They have no idea what were doing.
Were sending equipment over, the enemies take it in. We sent over 2,300
humvees that are totally armor plated. They got stolen by the enemy, 2,300. I
thought they meant like two or 23.

Or 230 was too much, 2,300 humvees and they got stolen. They got taken by the
enemy. You know, shot guns fired in the air, the ones we gave to the so-called
allies, these great allies that we always pick, who end up being worse than the
guys who were trying to get out.

(APPLAUSE)
So, terrible. Hillary and President Obama refused to use the term radical
Islamic terrorism. Big problem. Big problem. Hillary wants to release violent
criminals and criminal offenders from prison, thats wonderful, enjoy
yourselves. I want to work with our police. Our police are so incredible, theyre
not getting the respect they deserve.

(APPLAUSE)

Not getting the respect they deserve. (APPLAUSE)

And were going to, in our country, restore law and order. We have to, we have
to restore law and order.

(APPLAUSE)

And the police are going to be careful and theyre going to be studied and
theyre going to be but we have to restore law and order. What happened in
Dallas, where all of those people were shot down. Absolutely, absolutely for no
reason. Viciously shot down, and so many others. I was with one of the police
groups the other day. Theyre endorsing me.

And I said that was terrible in Dallas and they gave me a list of like, eight other
states in the last short while where the same, smaller number, but the same
thing was happening where police are being killed. We have to respect and
cherish our police.

(APPLAUSE)

School choice we want, common core we dont want. Weve got to get rid of
common core, bring educational

(APPLAUSE)
And folks, and we have to re-negotiate with NAFTA. And by the way, going
back to the wall, Mexico is going to pay for the wall. That I can tell you.

(APPLAUSE)

Listen, you know these politicians, they dont know me. They dont understand
me. And I am, Im in a group of 50 people, these are real geniuses. These are 50
people that have been running our country forever and they said we cant
support Donald Trump. The reason they cant, you know why, because Im not
going to hire these people, I dont want these people.

Take a look. Take a look at what these people these are sort of like the people
that have been involved with Washington, making decisions militarily on
defense, on other things take a look what has happened in our country. Our
military is depleted, our vets arent taken care of. We cant beat ISIS. Can you
imagine General George Patton, who is right now spinning in his grave, the
great General Douglas MacArthur can you imagine and I say, because we
have so many military people, and this is such a military state and I love it.

(APPLAUSE)

I love. But can you imagine them seeing that we cant beat these 25 or 30,000
people, we cant beat them? Were fighting a political correct war.

Its a political correct war. I mean, you know whats going on. You know whats
going on. These are people that chop off heads. These are people that, in steel
cages, drop steel cages into the waters and drowned large numbers of people.

These are people that buried people in the sand. Weve got to knock them out.

I was against the war in Iraq. We shouldnt have been to the war in Iraq. It
destabilized the Middle East and I said that was going to happen. But we
shouldnt have gotten out the way we got out.
The way we got out was insane. And Obama gave a date, and he and thats
how ISIS happened, folks. Hence, the birth of ISIS.

(APPLAUSE)

Congratulations, Hillary Clinton. Congratulate I mean, she she should get

if Im ISIS, I call her up and I give her the most valuable player award. OK?

(APPLAUSE)

And I guarantee you with Libya, which was her baby, and all of the other
mistakes she has made. Obama takes now, because obviously, for him, thats the
better alternative, all right? But he has been an incompetent president. He has
done a horrible job.

(APPLAUSE) And I guarantee you that if he had it to it again and he would

only say this to his wife but if he had it to do again, he would not have chosen
Hillary Clinton to be his secretary of state, because she made so many horrible
mistakes and cost so many lives.

And I mean lives on both sides. Im not just saying I mean lives on both sides.
Shes inept; shes inept.

And to think that she is even allowed to run for the presidency of the United
States, when she deleted and got rid of 33,000 e-mails is an embarrassment to
our country, and it always will be, OK? It always will be.

(APPLAUSE)

So so, I want to thank all of you for being here. Look, Im going to be around,
and were going to be coming to North Carolina a lot. Got to win it, very
important.
(APPLAUSE)

But the people are great. My daughter-in-law comes from North Carolina.
Im here all the time.

(APPLAUSE)

But but people the people are great. The military is great. We are going to
make America great again.

(APPLAUSE)

Were going to start winning. Were going to put America first. Were going to
make America safe again.

But never, ever forget, we are going to make America great again.

Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Ill be back soon. Thank you. God bless you.

Presidential Announcement Speech

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

So nice, thank you very much. Thats really nice. Thank you. Its great to be
at Trump Tower. Its great to be in a wonderful city, New York. And its an
honor to have everybody here. This is beyond anybodys expectations.
Theres been no crowd like this.

And, I can tell, some of the candidates, they went in. They didnt know the
air-conditioner didnt work. They sweated like dogs.
They didnt know the room was too big, because they didnt have anybody
there. How are they going to beat ISIS? I dont think its gonna happen.

Our country is in serious trouble. We dont have victories anymore. We

used to have victories, but we dont have them. When was the last time
anybody saw us beating, lets say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat
China all the time. All the time.

When did we beat Japan at anything? They send their cars over by the
millions, and what do we do? When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet
in Tokyo? It doesnt exist, folks. They beat us all the time.

When do we beat Mexico at the border? Theyre laughing at us, at our

stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our
friend, believe me. But theyre killing us economically.

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody elses problems.

Thank you. Its true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico
sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre not sending you.
Theyre not sending you. Theyre sending people that have lots of problems,
and theyre bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs.
Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good
people.

But I speak to border guards and they tell us what were getting. And it only
makes common sense. It only makes common sense. Theyre sending us not
the right people.

Its coming from more than Mexico. Its coming from all over South and
Latin America, and its coming probably probably from the Middle
East. But we dont know. Because we have no protection and we have no
competence, we dont know whats happening. And its got to stop and its
got to stop fast.

Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. Theyve

become rich. Im in competition with them.

They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel.
When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They dont have to pay interest,
because they took the oil that, when we left Iraq, I said we shouldve taken.

So now ISIS has the oil, and what they dont have, Iran has. And in 19
and I will tell you this, and I said it very strongly, years ago, I said and I
love the military, and I want to have the strongest military that weve ever
had, and we need it more now than ever. But I said, Dont hit Iraq,
because youre going to totally destabilize the Middle East. Iran is going to
take over the Middle East, Iran and somebody else will get the oil, and it
turned out that Iran is now taking over Iraq. Think of it. Iran is taking over
Iraq, and theyre taking it over big league.

We spent $2 trillion in Iraq, $2 trillion. We lost thousands of lives,

thousands in Iraq. We have wounded soldiers, who I love, I love theyre
great all over the place, thousands and thousands of wounded soldiers.

And we have nothing. We cant even go there. We have nothing. And every
time we give Iraq equipment, the first 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 maybe two, maybe four?
2,300 sophisticated vehicles, they ran, and the enemy took them.
Last quarter, it was just announced our gross domestic product a sign of
strength, right? But not for us. It was below zero. Whoever heard of this?
Its never below zero.

Our labor participation rate was the worst since 1978. But think of it, GDP
below zero, horrible labor participation rate.

And our real unemployment is anywhere from 18 to 20 percent. Dont

believe the 5.6. Dont believe it.

Thats right. A lot of people up there cant get jobs. They cant get jobs,
because there 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 19 and maybe
even 21 percent, and nobody talks about it, because its a statistic thats full
of nonsense.

Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the way, and we as a
country are getting weaker. Even our nuclear arsenal doesnt work.

It came out recently they have equipment that is 30 years old. They dont
know if it worked. And I thought it was horrible when it was broadcast on
television, because boy, does that send signals to Putin and all of the other
people that look at us and they say, That is a group of people, and that is a
nation that truly has no clue. They dont know what theyre doing. They
dont know what theyre doing.

We have a disaster called the big 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. You have to be hit by
a tractor, literally, a tractor, to use it, because the deductibles are so high,
its virtually useless. Its virtually useless. It is a disaster.

And remember the $5 billion website? $5 billion we spent on a website, and

to this day it doesnt work. A $5 billion website.

I have so many websites, I have them all over the place. I hire people, they
do a website. It costs me $3. $5 billion website.

Well, you need somebody, because politicians are all talk, no action.
Nothings gonna get done. They will not bring us believe me to the
promised land. They will not.

As an example, Ive been on the circuit making speeches, and I hear my

fellow Republicans. And theyre wonderful people. I like them. They all
want me to support them. They dont know how to bring it about. They
come up to my office. Im meeting with three of them in the next week. And
they dont know Are you running? Are you not running? Could we have
your support? What do we do? How do we do it?

I like them. And I hear their speeches. And they dont talk jobs and they
dont talk China. When was the last time you heard China is killing us?
Theyre devaluing their currency to a level that you wouldnt believe. It
makes it impossible for our companies to compete, impossible. Theyre
killing us.

But you dont hear that from anybody else. You dont hear it from anybody
else. And I watch the speeches.

I watch the speeches of these people, and they say the sun will rise, the
moon will set, all sorts of wonderful things will happen. And people are
saying, Whats going on? I just want a job. Just get me a job. I dont need
the rhetoric. I want a job.
And thats whats happening. And its going to get worse, because
remember, Obamacare really kicks in in 16, 2016. Obama is going to be out
playing golf. 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 Id say, you
what, if he wants to I have one right next to the White House, right on the
Potomac. If hed like to play, thats fine.

In fact, Id love him to leave early and play, that would be a very good
thing.

But Obamacare kicks in in 2016. Really big league. It is going to be

amazingly destructive. Doctors are quitting. I have a friend whos a doctor,
and he said to me the other day, Donald, I never saw anything like it. I
have more accountants than I have nurses. Its a disaster. My patients are
beside themselves. They had a plan that was good. They have no plan now.

We have to repeal Obamacare, and it can be and and it can be replaced

with something much better for everybody. Let it be for everybody. But
much better and much less expensive for people and for the government.
And we can do it.

So Ive watched the politicians. Ive dealt with them all my life. If you cant
make a good deal with a politician, then theres something wrong with you.
Youre certainly not very good. And thats what we have representing us.
They will never make America great again. They dont even have a chance.
Theyre controlled fully theyre controlled fully by the lobbyists, by the
donors, and by the special interests, fully.

Yes, they control them. Hey, I have lobbyists. I have to tell you. I have
lobbyists that can produce anything for me. Theyre great. But you know
what? it wont happen. It wont happen. Because we have to stop doing
things for some people, but for this country, its destroying our country. We
have to stop, and it has to stop now.
Now, our country needs our country needs a truly great leader, and we
need a truly great leader now. We need a leader that wrote The Art of the
Deal.

We need a leader that can bring back our jobs, can bring back our
manufacturing, can bring back our military, can take 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 one thing,
I think hell do well. I think hell be a great cheerleader for the country. I
think hed be a great spirit.

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

cheerleader.

Hes not a leader. Thats true. Youre right about that.

But he wasnt a cheerleader. Hes actually a negative force. Hes been a

negative force. He wasnt a cheerleader; he was the opposite.

We need somebody that can take the brand of the United States and make
it great again. Its not great again.

We need we need somebody we need somebody that literally will take

this country and make it great again. We can do that.

And, I will tell you, I love my life. I have a wonderful family. Theyre saying,
Dad, youre going to do something thats going to be so tough.

You know, all of my life, Ive heard that a truly successful person, a really,
really successful person and even modestly successful cannot run for public
office. Just cant happen. And yet thats the kind of mindset that you need
to make this country great again.

So ladies and gentlemenI am officially running for president of the

United States, and we are going to make our country great again.

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

people.

We have people that arent working. We have people that have no incentive
to work. But theyre going to have incentive to work, because the greatest
social program is a job. And theyll be proud, and theyll love it, and theyll
make much more than they wouldve ever made, and theyll be theyll be
doing so well, and were going to be thriving as a country, thriving. It can
happen.

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

Ill bring back our jobs from China, from Mexico, from Japan, from so
many places. Ill bring back our jobs, and Ill bring back our money.

Right now, think of this: We owe China $1.3 trillion. We owe Japan more
than that. So they come in, they take our jobs, they take our money, and
then they loan us back the money, and we pay them in interest, and then
the dollar goes up so their deals even better.

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

Im going to tell you thank you. Im going to tell you a couple of stories
about trade, because Im totally against the trade bill for a number of
reasons.
Number one, the people negotiating dont have a clue. Our president
doesnt have a clue. Hes a bad negotiator.

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

We get Bergdahl. We get a traitor. We get a no-good traitor, and they get
the five people that they wanted for years, and those people are now back
on the battlefield trying to kill us. Thats the negotiator we have.

Take a look at the deal hes making with Iran. He makes that deal, Israel
maybe wont exist very long. Its a disaster, and we have to protect Israel.
But

So we need people Im a free trader. But the problem with free trade is
you need really talented people to negotiate for you. If you dont have
talented people, if you dont have great leadership, if you dont have people
that know business, not just a political hack that got the job because he
made a contribution to a campaign, which is the way all jobs, just about,
are gotten, free trade terrible.

Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people, but we have people
that are stupid. We have people that arent smart. And we have people that
are controlled by special interests. And its just not going to work.

So, heres a couple of stories happened recently. A friend of mine is a great

manufacturer. And, you know, China comes over and they dump all their
stuff, and I buy it. I buy it, because, frankly, I have an obligation to buy it,
because they devalue their currency so brilliantly, they just did it recently,
and nobody thought they could do it again.
But with all our problems with Russia, with all our problems with
everything everything, they got away with it again. And its impossible for
our people here to compete.

So I want to tell you this story. A friend of mine whos a great

manufacturer, calls me up a few weeks ago. Hes very upset. I said, Whats
your problem?

He said, You know, I make great product.

And I said, I know. I know that because I buy the product.

He said, I cant get it into China. They wont accept it. I sent a boat over
and they actually sent it back. They talked about environmental, they
talked about all sorts of crap that had nothing to do with it.

I said, Oh, wait a minute, thats terrible. Does anyone know this?

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

I said, They send it back?

Yeah. So I finally got it over there and they charged me a big tariff. Theyre
not supposed to be doing that. I told them.

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

Ask Boeing. They wanted Boeings secrets. They wanted their patents and
all their secrets before they agreed to buy planes from Boeing.

Hey, Im not saying theyre stupid. I like China. I sell apartments for I
just sold an apartment for $15 million to somebody from China. Am I
supposed to dislike them? I own a big chunk of the Bank of America
Building at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, that I got from China in a war.
Very valuable.

I love China. The biggest bank in the world is from China. You know where
their United States headquarters is located? In this building, in Trump
Tower. I love China. People say, Oh, you dont like China?

No, I love them. But their leaders are much smarter than our leaders, and
we cant sustain ourself with that. Theres too much its like its like
take the New England Patriots and Tom Brady and have them play your
high school football team. Thats the difference between Chinas leaders
and our leaders.

They are ripping us. We are rebuilding China. Were rebuilding many
countries. China, you go there now, roads, bridges, schools, you never saw
anything like it. They have bridges that make the George Washington
Bridge look like small potatoes. And theyre all over the place.

We have all the cards, but we dont know how to use them. We dont even
know that we have the cards, because our leaders dont understand the
game. We could turn off that spigot by charging them tax until they behave
properly.

Now theyre going militarily. Theyre building a military island in the

middle of the South China sea. A military island. Now, our country could
never do that because wed have to get environmental clearance, and the
environmentalist wouldnt let our country we would never build in an
ocean. They built it in about one year, this massive military port.

Theyre building up their military to a point that is very scary. You have a
problem with ISIS. You have a bigger problem with China.
And, in my opinion, the new China, believe it or not, in terms of trade, is
Mexico.

So this man tells me about the manufacturing. I say, Thats a terrible

story. I hate to hear it.

But I have another one, Ford.

So Mexico takes a company, a car 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 thought it was a done deal. Its
going in and thats going to be it, going into Tennessee. Great state, great
people.

All of a sudden, at the last moment, this big car manufacturer, foreign,
announces theyre not going to Tennessee. Theyre gonna spend their $1
billion in Mexico instead. Not good.

Now, Ford announces a few weeks ago that Ford is going to build a $2.5
billion car and truck and parts manufacturing plant in Mexico. $2.5 billion,
its going to be one of the largest in the world. Ford. Good company.

So I announced that Im running for president. I would

one of the early things I would do, probably before I even got in and I
wouldnt even use 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. Theyre not good. They think they
are. They get good stories, because the newspapers get buffaloed. But
theyre not good.
But I know the negotiators in the world, and I put them one for each
country. Believe me, folks. We will do very, very well, very, very well.

But I wouldnt even waste my time with this one. I would call up the head
of Ford, who I know. If I was president, Id say, Congratulations. I
understand that youre building a nice $2.5 billion car factory in Mexico
and that youre going to take your cars and sell them to the United States
zero 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 good? Its not.

So I would say, Congratulations. Thats the good news. Let me give you the
bad news. Every car and every truck and every part manufactured in this
plant that comes across the border, were going to charge you a 35-percent
tax, and that tax is going to be paid simultaneously with the transaction,
and thats it.

Now, heres what is going to happen. If its not me in the position, its one
of these politicians that were running against, you know, the 400 people
that were (inaudible). And heres whats going to happen. Theyre not so
stupid. They know its not a good thing, and they may even be upset by it.
But then theyre going to get a call from the donors or probably from the
lobbyist for Ford and say, You cant do that to Ford, because Ford takes
care of me and I take care of you, and you cant do that to Ford.

And guess what? No problem. Theyre going to build in Mexico. Theyre

going to take away thousands of jobs. Its very bad for us.

So under President Trump, heres what would happen:

The head of Ford will call me back, I would say within an hour after I told
them the bad news. But it could be hed want to be cool, and hell wait until
the next day. You know, they want to be a little cool.

And hell say, Please, please, please. Hell beg for a little while, and Ill
say, No interest. Then hell call all sorts of political people, and Ill say,
Sorry, fellas. No interest, because I dont need anybodys money. Its nice.
I dont need anybodys money.

Im using my own money. Im not using the lobbyists. Im not using donors.
I dont care. Im really rich. I (inaudible).

And by the way, Im not even saying thats the kind of mindset, thats the
kind of thinking you need for this country.

So because we got to make the country rich.

It sounds crass. Somebody said, Oh, thats crass. Its not crass.

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

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

Weve got nothing. Weve got Social Security thats going to be destroyed if
somebody like me doesnt bring money into the country. All these other
people want to cut the hell out of it. Im not going to cut it at all; Im going
to bring money in, and were going to save it.

But heres whats going to happen:

After Im called by 30 friends of mine who contributed to different

campaigns, after Im called by all of the special interests and by the the
donors and by the lobbyists and they have zero chance at convincing me,
zero Ill get a call the next day from the head of Ford. Hell say. Please
reconsider, Ill say no.

Hell say, Mr. President, weve decided to move the plant back to the
United States, and were not going to build it in Mexico. Thats it. They
have no choice. They have no choice.

There are hundreds of things like that. Ill give you another example.

Saudi Arabia, they make $1 billion a day. $1 billion a day. I love the Saudis.
Many are in this building. They make a billion dollars a day. Whenever they
have problems, we send over the ships. We say were gonna protect. What
are we doing? Theyve got nothing but money.

If the right person asked them, theyd pay a fortune. They wouldnt be there
except for us.

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

They always keep our equipment. We ought to send used equipment, right?
They always keep our equipment. We ought to send some real junk,
because, frankly, it would be we ought to send our surplus. Were always
losing this gorgeous brand-new stuff.

But look at that border with Saudi Arabia. Do you really think that these
people are interested in Yemen? Saudi Arabia without us is gone. Theyre
gone.
And Im the one that made all of the right predictions about Iraq. You
know, all of these politicians that Im running against now its so nice to
say Im running as opposed to if I run, if I run. Im running.

But all of these politicians that Im running against now, theyre trying to
disassociate. I mean, you looked at Bush, it took him five days to answer
the question on Iraq. He couldnt answer the question. He didnt know. I
said, Is he intelligent?

Then I looked at Rubio. He was unable to answer the question, is Iraq a

good thing or bad thing? He didnt know. He couldnt answer the question.

How are these people gonna lead us? How are we gonna how are we
gonna go back and make it great again? We cant. They dont have a clue.
They cant lead us. They cant. They cant even answer simple questions. It
was terrible.

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

There is so much wealth out there that can make our country so rich again,
and therefore make it great again. Because we need money. Were dying.
Were dying. We need money. We have to do it. And we need the right
people.

So Ford will come back. Theyll all come back. And I will say this, this is
going to be an election, in my opinion, thats based on competence.

Somebody said thank you, darlin.

Somebody said to me the other day, a reporter, a very nice reporter, But,
Mr. Trump, youre not a nice person.

Thats true. But actually I am. I think I am a nice person. People that know
me, like me. Does my family like me? I think so, right. Look at my family.
Im proud of my family.

By the way, speaking of my family, Melania, Barron, Kai, Donnie, Don,

Vanessa, Tiffany, Evanka did a great job. Did she do a great job?

Great. Jared, Laura and Eric, Im very proud of my family. Theyre a great
family.

So the reporter said to me the other day, But, Mr. Trump, youre not a nice
person. How can you get people to vote for you?

I said, I dont know. I said, I think that number one, I am a nice person.
I give a lot of money away to charities and other things. I think Im actually
a very nice person.

But, I said, This is going to be an election thats based on competence,

because people are tired of these nice people. And theyre tired of being
ripped off by everybody in the world. And theyre tired of spending more
money on education than any nation in the world per capita, than any
nation in the world, and we are 26th in the world, 25 countries are better
than us in education. And some of them are like third world countries. But
were becoming a third word country, because of our infrastructure, our
airports, our roads, everything. So one of the things I did, and I said, you
know what Ill do. Ill do it. Because a lot of people said, Hell never run.
Number one, he wont want to give up his lifestyle.

Theyre right about that, but Im doing it.

Number two, Im a private company, so nobody knows what Im worth. And
the one thing is that when you run, you have to announce and certify to all
sorts of governmental authorities your net worth.

So I said, Thats OK. Im proud of my net worth. Ive done an amazing

job.

I started off thank you I started off in a small office with my father in
Brooklyn and Queens, and my father said and I love my father. I learned
so much. He was a great 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, dont go into Manhattan. Thats the big
leagues. We dont know anything about that. Dont do it.

I said, I gotta go into Manhattan. I gotta build those big buildings. I gotta
do it, Dad. Ive gotta do it.

And after four or five years in Brooklyn, I ventured into Manhattan and did
a lot of great deals the Grand Hyatt Hotel. I was responsible for the
convention center on the west side. I did a lot of great deals, and I did them
early and young. And now Im building all over the world, and I love what
Im doing.

But they all said, a lot of the pundits on television, Well, Donald will never
run, and one of the main reasons is hes private and hes probably not as
successful as everybody thinks.

So I said to myself, you know, nobodys ever going to know unless I run,
because Im really proud of my success. I really am.
Ive employed Ive employed tens of thousands of people over my
lifetime. That means medical. That means education. That means
everything.

So a large accounting firm and my accountants have been working for

months, because its big and complex, and theyve put together a statement,
a financial statement, just a summary. But everything will be filed
eventually with the government, and we dont [use] extensions or anything.
Well be filing it right on time. We dont need anything.

And it was even reported incorrectly yesterday, because they said, He had
assets of $9 billion. So I said, No, thats the wrong number. Thats the
wrong number. Not assets.

So they put together this. And before I say it, I have to say this. I made it
the old-fashioned way. Its real estate. You know, its real estate.

Its labor, and its unions good and some bad and lots of people that arent
in unions, and its all over the place and building all over the world.

And I have assets big accounting firm, one of the most highly respected
9 billion 240 million dollars.

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

In fact, one of the big banks came to me and said, Donald, you dont have
enough borrowings. Could we loan you $4 billion? I said, I dont need it. I
dont want it. And Ive been there. I dont want it.

But in two seconds, they give me whatever I wanted. So I have a total net
worth, and now with the increase, itll be well-over $10 billion. But here, a
total net worth ofnet worth, not assets, not a net worth, after all debt,
after all expenses, the greatest assets Trump Tower, 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.

So the total is $8,737,540,00.

Now Im not doing that

Im not doing that to brag, because you know what? I dont have to brag. I
dont have to, believe it or not.

Im doing that to say that thats the kind of thinking our country needs. We
need that thinking. We have the opposite thinking.

We have losers. We have losers. We have people that dont have it. We have
people that are morally corrupt. We have people that are selling this
country down the drain.

So I put together this statement, and the only reason Im telling you about
it today is because we really do have to get going, because if we have
another three or four years you know, were at $8 trillion now. Were
soon going to be at $20 trillion.

According to the economists who Im not big believers in, but,

nevertheless, this is what theyre saying that $24 trillion were very
close thats the point of no return. $24 trillion. We will be there soon.
Thats when we become Greece. Thats when we become a country thats
unsalvageable. And were gonna be there very soon. Were gonna be there
very soon.

So, just to sum up, I would do 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 Ill build them very inexpensively, I will build a great, great wall on
our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.

Mark my words.

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

I will find within our military, I will find the General Patton or I will find
General MacArthur, I will find the right guy. I will find the guy thats going
to take that military and make it really work. Nobody, nobody will be
pushing us around.

I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And we wont be using a man
like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, whos
making a horrible and laughable deal, whos just being tapped along as they
make weapons right now, and then goes into a bicycle race at 72 years old,
and falls and breaks his leg. I wont be doing that. And I promise I will
never be in a bicycle race. That I can tell you.

I will immediately terminate President Obamas illegal executive order on

immigration, immediately.

Fully support and back up the Second Amendment.

Now, its very interesting. Today I heard it. Through stupidity, in a very,
very hard core prison, interestingly named Clinton, two vicious murderers,
two vicious people escaped, and nobody knows where they are. And a
woman was on television this morning, and she said, You know, Mr.
Trump, and she was telling other people, and I actually called her, and she
said, You know, Mr. Trump, I always was against guns. I didnt want guns.
And now since this happened its up in the prison area my husband
and I are finally in agreement, because he wanted the guns. We now have a
gun on every table. Were ready to start shooting.

I said, Very interesting.

So protect the Second Amendment.

End end Common Core. Common Core should it is a disaster. Bush is

totally in favor of Common Core. I dont see how he can possibly get the
nomination. Hes weak on immigration. Hes in favor of Common Core.
How the hell can you vote for this guy? You just cant do it. We have to end
education has to be local.

Rebuild the countrys infrastructure.

Nobody can do that like me. Believe me. It will be done on time, on budget,
way below cost, way below what anyone ever thought.

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

You know, were building on Pennsylvania Avenue, the Old Post Office,
were converting it into one of the worlds great hotels. Its gonna be the
best hotel in Washington, D.C. We got it from the General Services
Administration in Washington. The Obama administration. We got it. It
was the most highly sought after or one of them, but I think the most
highly sought after project in the history of General Services. We got it.
People were shocked, Trump got it.

Well, I got it for two reasons. Number one, were really good. Number two,
we had a really good plan. And Ill add in the third, we had a great financial
statement. Because the General Services, who are terrific people, by the
way, and talented people, they wanted to do a great job. And they wanted to
make sure it got built.

So we have to rebuild our infrastructure, our bridges, our roadways, our

airports. You come into La Guardia Airport, its like were in a third world
country. You look at the patches and the 40-year-old floor. They throw
down asphalt, and they throw.

You look at these airports, we are like a third world country. And I come in
from China and I come in from Qatar and I come in from different places,
and they have the most incredible airports in the world. You come to back
to this country and you have LAX, disaster. You have all of these disastrous
airports. We have to rebuild our infrastructure.

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

Get rid of the fraud. Get rid of the waste and abuse, but save it. People have
been paying it for years. And now many of these candidates want to cut it.
You save it by making the United States, by making us rich again, by taking
back all of the money thats being lost.

Renegotiate our foreign trade deals.

Reduce our $18 trillion in debt, because, believe me, were in a bubble. We
have artificially low interest rates. We have a stock market that, frankly,
has been good to me, but I still hate to see whats happening. We have a
stock market that is so bloated.

Be careful of a bubble because what youve seen in the past might be small
potatoes compared to what happens. So be very, very careful.

And strengthen our military and take care of our vets. So, so important.
Sadly, the American dream is dead.

But if I get elected president I will bring it back bigger and better and
stronger than ever before, and we will make America great again.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Monessen, Pennsylvania - Jobs

It is great to be here. Id like to thank Alumisource and all the amazing

workers here for hosting us.

Today, I am going to talk about how to Make America Wealthy Again.

We are thirty miles from Steel City. Pittsburgh played a central role in
building our nation.

The legacy of Pennsylvania steelworkers lives in the bridges, railways and

skyscrapers that make up our great American landscape.

But our workers loyalty was repaid with betrayal.

Our politicians have aggressively pursued a policy of globalization

moving our jobs, our wealth and our factories to Mexico and overseas.

Globalization has made the financial elite who donate to politicians very
wealthy. But it has left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty
and heartache.

When subsidized foreign steel is dumped into our markets, threatening our
factories, the politicians do nothing.
For years, they watched on the sidelines as our jobs vanished and our
communities were plunged into depression-level unemployment.

Many of these areas have still never recovered.

Our politicians took away from the people their means of making a living
and supporting their families.

Skilled craftsmen and tradespeople and factory workers have seen the jobs
they loved shipped thousands of miles away.

Many Pennsylvania towns once thriving and humming are now in a state
despair.

This wave of globalization has wiped out our middle class.

It doesnt have to be this way. We can turn it all around and we can turn
it around fast.

But if were going to deliver real change, were going to have to reject the
campaign of fear and intimidation being pushed by powerful corporations,
media elites, and political dynasties.

The people who rigged the system for their benefit will do anything and
say anything to keep things exactly as they are.

The people who rigged the system are supporting Hillary Clinton because
they know as long as she is in charge nothing will ever change.

The inner cities will remain poor.

The factories will remain closed.

The borders will remain open.

The special interests will remain firmly in control.

Hillary Clinton and her friends in global finance want to scare America into
thinking small and they want to scare the American people out of voting
for a better future.

READ: How Donald Trump Says Hed Win Americas Trade War

Top U.S. Labor Leader Blasts Donald Trump in Dueling

Speeches

My campaign has the opposite message.

I want you to imagine how much better your life can be if we start believing
in America again.

I want you to imagine how much better our future can be if we declare
independence from the elites whove led us to one financial and foreign
policy disaster after another.

Our friends in Britain recently voted to take back control of their economy,
politics and borders.

I was on the right side of that issue with the people while Hillary, as
always, stood with the elites, and both she and president Obama predicted
that one wrong.

Now its time for the American people to take back their future.

Thats the choice we face. We can either give in to Hillary Clintons

campaign of fear, or we can choose to Believe In America.
We lost our way when we stopped believing in our country.

America became the worlds dominant economy by becoming the worlds

dominant producer.

The wealth this created was shared broadly, creating the biggest middle
class the world had ever known.

But then America changed its policy from promoting development in

America, to promoting development in other nations.

We allowed foreign countries to subsidize their goods, devalue their

currencies, violate their agreements, and cheat in every way imaginable.

Trillions of our dollars and millions of our jobs flowed overseas as a result.

I have visited cities and towns across this country where a third or even
half of manufacturing jobs have been wiped out in the last 20 years.

Today, we import nearly $800 billion more in goods than we export.

This is not some natural disaster. It is politician-made disaster.

It is the consequence of a leadership class that worships globalism over

Americanism.

This is a direct affront to our Founding Fathers, who wanted America to be

strong, independent and free.

Our Founding Fathers Understood Trade

George Washington said that the promotion of domestic manufactur[ing]
will be among the first consequences to flow from an energetic
government.

Alexander Hamilton spoke frequently of the expediency of encouraging

manufactur[ing] in the United States. The first Republican President,
Abraham Lincoln, warned that: The abandonment of the protective policy
by the American government must produce want and ruin among our
people.

Our original Constitution did not even have an income tax. Instead, it had
tariffs emphasizing taxation of foreign, not domestic, production.

Yet today, 240 years after the Revolution, we have turned things
completely upside-down.

We tax and regulate and restrict our companies to death, then we allow
foreign countries that cheat to export their goods to us tax-free.

As a result, we have become more dependent on foreign countries than ever

before.

Ladies and Gentlemen, its time to declare our economic independence

once again.

That means reversing two of the worst legacies of the Clinton years.

America has lost nearly one-third of its manufacturing jobs since 1997
even as the country has increased its population by 50 million people.

At the center of this catastrophe are two trade deals pushed by Bill and
Hillary Clinton.
First, the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. Second,
Chinas entry into the World Trade Organization.

NAFTA was the worst trade deal in history, and Chinas entrance into the
World Trade Organization has enabled the greatest jobs theft in history.

It was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA in 1993, and Hillary Clinton who
supported it.

It was also Bill Clinton who lobbied for Chinas disastrous entry into the
World Trade Organization, and Hillary Clinton who backed that terrible
agreement.

Then, as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton stood by idly while China

cheated on its currency, added another trillion dollars to our trade deficits,
and stole hundreds of billions of dollars in our intellectual property.

The city of Pittsburgh, and the State of Pennsylvania, have lost one-third of
their manufacturing jobs since the Clintons put China into the WTO.

Fifty thousand factories across America have shut their doors in that time.

Almost half of our entire manufacturing trade deficit in goods with the
world is the result of trade with China.

It was also Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, who shoved us into a job-
killing deal with South Korea in 2012.

As reported by the Economic Policy Institute in May, this deal doubled our
trade deficit with South Korea and destroyed nearly 100,000 American
jobs.
As Bernie Sanders said, Hillary Clinton Voted for virtually every trade
agreement that has cost the workers of this country millions of jobs.

Trade reform, and the negotiation of great trade deals, is the quickest way
to bring our jobs back.

To understand why trade reform creates jobs, we need to understand how

all nations grow and prosper.

Massive trade deficits subtract directly from our Gross Domestic Product.

From 1947 to 2001 a span of over five decades our inflation-adjusted

gross domestic product grew at a rate of 3.5%.

However, since 2002 the year after we fully opened our markets to
Chinese imports that GDP growth rate has been cut almost in half.

What does this mean for Americans? For every one percent of GDP growth
we fail to generate in any given year, we also fail to create over one million
jobs.

Americas job creation deficit due to slower growth since 2002 is well
over 20 million jobs and thats just about the number of jobs our country
needs right now to put America back to work at decent wages.

The Transpacific-Partnership is the greatest danger yet.

The TPP would be the death blow for American manufacturing.

It would give up all of our economic leverage to an international

commission that would put the interests of foreign countries above our
own.
It would further open our markets to aggressive currency cheaters. It would
make it easier for our trading competitors to ship cheap subsidized goods
into U.S. markets while allowing foreign countries to continue putting
barriers in front of our exports.

The TPP would lower tariffs on foreign cars, while leaving in place the
foreign practices that keep American cars from being sold overseas. The
TPP even created a backdoor for China to supply car parts for automobiles
made in Mexico.

The agreement would also force American workers to compete directly

against workers from Vietnam, one of the lowest wage countries on Earth.

Not only will the TPP undermine our economy, but it will undermine our
independence.

The TPP creates a new international commission that makes decisions the
American people cant veto.

These commissions are great Hillary Clintons Wall Street funders who can
spend vast amounts of money to influence the outcomes.

It should be no surprise then that Hillary Clinton, according to Bloomberg,

took a leading part in drafting the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

She praised or pushed the TPP on 45 separate occasions, and even called it
the gold standard.

Hillary Clinton was totally for the TPP just a short while ago, but when she
saw my stance, which is totally against, she was shamed into saying she
would be against it too but have no doubt, she will immediately approve
it if it is put before her, guaranteed.
She will do this just as she has betrayed American workers for Wall Street
throughout her career.

Heres how it would go: she would make a small token change, declare the
pact fixed, and ram it through.

Thats why Hillary is now only saying she has problems with the TPP in its
current form, ensuring that she can rush to embrace it again at her
earliest opportunity.

If the media doesnt believe me, I have a challenge for you. Ask Hillary
Clinton if she is willing to withdraw from the TPP her first day in office and
unconditionally rule out its passage in any form.

There is no way to fix the TPP. We need bilateral trade deals. We do not
need to enter into another massive international agreement that ties us up
and binds us down.

A Trump Administration will change our failed trade policy

quickly

Here are 7 steps I would pursue right away to bring back our jobs.

One: I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific

Partnership, which has not yet been ratified.

Two: Im going to appoint the toughest and smartest trade negotiators to

fight on behalf of American workers.

Three: Im going to direct the Secretary of Commerce to identify every

violation of trade agreements a foreign country is currently using to harm
our workers. I will then direct all appropriate agencies to use every tool
under American and international law to end these abuses.
Four: Im going tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately
renegotiate the terms of that agreement to get a better deal for our workers.
And I dont mean just a little bit better, I mean a lot better. If they do not
agree to a renegotiation, then I will submit notice under Article 2205 of the
NAFTA agreement that America intends to withdraw from the deal.

Five: I am going to instruct my Treasury Secretary to label China a

currency manipulator. Any country that devalues their currency in order to
take advantage of the United States will be met with sharply

Six: I am going to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to bring trade

cases against China, both in this country and at the WTO. Chinas unfair
subsidy behavior is prohibited by the terms of its entrance to the WTO, and
I intend to enforce those rules.

Seven: If China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of
American trade secrets, I will use every lawful presidential power to
remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs consistent with
Section 201 and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade
Expansion Act of 1962.

President Reagan deployed similar trade measures when motorcycle and

semiconductor imports threatened U.S. industry. His tariff on Japanese
motorcycles was 45% and his tariff to shield Americas semiconductor
industry was 100%.

Hillary Clinton, and her campaign of fear, will try to spread the lie that
these actions will start a trade war. She has it completely backwards.

Hillary Clinton unleashed a trade war against the American worker when
she supported one terrible trade deal after another from NAFTA to China
to South Korea.
A Trump Administration will end that war by getting a fair deal for the
American people.

The era of economic surrender will finally be over.

A new era of prosperity will finally begin.

America will be independent once more.

Under a Trump Presidency, the American worker will finally have a

President who will protect them and fight for them.

We will stand up to trade cheating anywhere and everywhere it threatens

an American job.

We will make America the best place in the world to start a business, hire
workers, and open a factory.

This includes massive tax reform to lift the crushing burdens on American
workers and businesses.

We will also get rid of wasteful rules and regulations which are destroying
our job creation capacity.

Many people think that these regulations are an even greater impediment
than the fact that we are one of the highest taxed nations in the world.

We are also going to fully capture Americas tremendous energy capacity.

This will create vast profits for our workers and begin reducing our deficit.
Hillary Clinton wants to shut down energy production and shut down the
mines.
A Trump Administration will also ensure that we start using American steel
for American infrastructure.

Just like the American steel from Pennsylvania that built the Empire State
building.

It will be American steel that will fortify Americans crumbling bridges.

It will be American steel that sends our skyscrapers soaring into the sky.

It will be American steel that rebuilds our inner cities.

It will be American hands that remake this country, and it will be American
energy mined from American resources that powers this country.

It will be American workers who are hired to do the job.

We are going to put American-produced steel back into the backbone of our
country. This alone will create massive numbers of jobs.

On trade, on immigration, on foreign policy, we are going to put America

First again.

We are going to make America wealthy again.

We are going to reject Hillary Clintons politics of fear, futility, and

incompetence.

We are going to embrace the possibilities of change.

It is time to believe in the future.

It is time to believe in each other.

It is time to Believe In America.

This Is How We Are Going To Make America Great Again For All
Americans.

We Are Going To Make America Great Again For Everyone Greater Than
Ever Before.

Thank you.

New York City Stakes of Elections

Today Id like to share my thoughts about the stakes in this election.

People have asked me why I am running for President.

I have built an amazing business that I love and I get to work side-by-side
with my children every day.

We come to work together and turn visions into reality.

We think big, and then we make it happen.

I love what I do, and I am grateful beyond words to the nation that has
allowed me to do it.

So when people ask me why I am running, I quickly answer: I am running

to give back to this country which has been so good to me.
When I see the crumbling roads and bridges, or the dilapidated airports, or
the factories moving overseas to Mexico, or to other countries, I know these
problems can all be fixed, but not by Hillary Clinton only by me.

The fact is, we can come back bigger and better and stronger than ever
before --Jobs, jobs, jobs!

Everywhere I look, I see the possibilities of what our country could be. But
we cant solve any of these problems by relying on the politicians who
created them.

We will never be able to fix a rigged system by counting on the same people
who rigged it in the first place.

The insiders wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power and
in the money.

Thats why were asking Bernie Sanders voters to join our movement: so
together we can fix the system for ALL Americans. Importantly, this
includes fixing all of our many disastrous trade deals.

Because its not just the political system thats rigged. Its the whole
economy.

Its rigged by big donors who want to keep down wages.

Its rigged by big businesses who want to leave our country, fire our
workers, and sell their products back into the U.S. with absolutely no
consequences for them.

Its rigged by bureaucrats who are trapping kids in failing schools.

Its rigged against you, the American people.

Hillary Clinton who, as most people know, is a world class liar

just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing
in Bosnia where she said she was under attack but the attack turned out to
be young girls handing her flowers, a total self-serving lie.

Brian Williams career was destroyed for saying far less.

Yesterday, she even tried to attack me and my many businesses. But here is
the bottom line: I started off in Brooklyn New York, not so long ago, with a
small loan and built a business worth over 10 billion dollars. I have always
had a talent for building businesses and, importantly, creating jobs. That is
a talent our country desperately needs.

I am running for President to end the unfairness and to put you, the
American worker, first.

We are going to put America First, and we are going to Make America Great
again.

This election will decide whether we are ruled by the people, or by the
politicians.

Here is my promise to the American voter:

If I am elected President, I will end the special interest monopoly in

Washington, D.C.

The other candidate in this race has spent her entire life making money for
special interests and taking money from special interests.

Hillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and theft.
She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund doing
favors for oppressive regimes, and many others, in exchange for cash.

Then, when she left, she made $21.6 million giving speeches to Wall Street
banks and other special interests in less than 2 years secret speeches
that she does not want to reveal to the public.

Together, she and Bill made $153 million giving speeches to lobbyists,
CEOs, and foreign governments in the years since 2001.

They totally own her, and that will never change.

The choice in this election is a choice between taking our government back
from the special interests, or surrendering our last scrap of independence
to their total and complete control.

Those are the stakes.

Hillary Clinton wants to be President. But she doesn't have the

temperament, or, as Bernie Sanders' said, the judgement, to be president.

She believes she is entitled to the office.

Her campaign slogan is Im with her.

You know what my response to that is? Im with you: the American people.

She thinks its all about her.

I know its all about you I know its all about making America Great
Again for All Americans.
Our country lost its way when we stopped putting the American people
first.

We got here because we switched from a policy of Americanism focusing

on whats good for Americas middle class to a policy of globalism,
focusing on how to make money for large corporations who can move their
wealth and workers to foreign countries all to the detriment of the
American worker and the American economy.

We reward companies for offshoring, and we punish companies for doing

business in America and keeping our workers employed.

This is not a rising tide that lifts all boats.

This is a wave of globalization that wipes out our middle class and our jobs.

We need to reform our economic system so that, once again, we can all
succeed together, and America can become rich again.

Thats what we mean by America First.

Our country will be better off when we start making our own products
again, bringing our once great manufacturing capabilities back to our
shores.

Our Founders understood this.

One of the first major bills signed by George Washington called for the
encouragement and protection of manufactur[ing] in America.

Our first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, warned us by saying:

The abandonment of the protective policy by the American government
will produce want and ruin among our people.

I have visited the cities and towns across America and seen the devastation
caused by the trade policies of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton supported Bill Clintons disastrous NAFTA, just like she
supported Chinas entrance into the World Trade Organization.

Weve lost nearly one-third of our manufacturing jobs since these two
Hillary-backed agreements were signed.

Our trade deficit with China soared 40% during Hillary Clintons time as
Secretary of State -- a disgraceful performance for which she should not be
congratulated, but rather scorned.

Then she let China steal hundreds of billions of dollars in our intellectual
property a crime which is continuing to this day.

Hillary Clinton gave China millions of our best jobs, and effectively let
China completely rebuild itself.

In return, Hillary Clinton got rich!

The book Clinton Cash, by Peter Schweitzer, documents how Bill and
Hillary used the State Department to enrich their family at Americas
expense.

She gets rich making you poor.

Here is a quote from the book: At the center of US policy toward China
was Hillary Clintonat this critical time for US-china relations, Bill Clinton
gave a number of speeches that were underwritten by the Chinese
government and its supporters.

These funds were paid to the Clinton bank account while Hillary was
negotiating with China on behalf of the United States.

She sold out our workers, and our country, for Beijing.

Hillary Clinton has also been the biggest promoter of the Trans-Pacific
Partnership, which will ship millions more of our jobs overseas and give
up Congressional power to an international foreign commission.

Now, because I have pointed out why it would be such a disastrous deal,
she is pretending that she is against it. She has even deleted this record of
total support from her book deletion is something she is very good at --
(at least 30,000 emails are missing.)

But this latest Clinton cover-up doesnt change anything: if she is elected
president, she will adopt the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and we will lose
millions of jobs and our economic independence for good. She will do this,
just as she has betrayed the American worker on trade at every single stage
of her career and it will be even worse than the Clintons NAFTA deal.

I want trade deals, but they have to be great for the United States and our
workers.

We don't make great deals anymore, but we will once I become president.

Its not just our economy thats been corrupted, but our foreign policy too.

The Hillary Clinton foreign policy has cost America thousands of lives and
trillions of dollars and unleashed ISIS across the world.
No Secretary of State has been more wrong, more often, and in more places
than Hillary Clinton.

Her decisions spread death, destruction and terrorism everywhere she

touched.

Among the victims is our late Ambassador, Chris Stevens. He was left
helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed -- that's right,
when the phone rang at

3 o'clock in the morning, she was sleeping.

Ambassador Stevens and his staff in Libya made hundreds of requests for
security.

Hillary Clintons State Department refused them all.

She started the war that put him in Libya, denied him the security he asked
for, then left him there to die.

To cover her tracks, Hillary lied about a video being the cause of his death.

Here is what one of the victims mothers had to say:

I want the whole world to know it: she lied to my face, and you dont want
this person to be president.

In 2009, before Hillary Clinton was sworn in, it was a different world.

Libya was cooperating.

Iraq was seeing a reduction in violence.

Syria was under control.

Iran was being choked by sanctions.

Egypt was governed by a friendly regime that honored its peace treaty with
Israel.

ISIS wasnt even on the map.

Fast forward to 2013: In just four years, Secretary Clinton managed

to almost single-handedly destabilize the entire Middle East.

Her invasion of Libya handed the country over to the ISIS barbarians.

Thanks to Hillary Clinton, Iran is now the dominant Islamic power in the
Middle East, and on the road to nuclear weapons.

Hillary Clintons support for violent regime change in Syria has thrown the
country into one of the bloodiest civil wars anyone has ever seen while
giving ISIS a launching pad for terrorism against the West.

She helped force out a friendly regime in Egypt and replace it with the
radical Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian military has retaken control,
but Clinton has opened the Pandoras box of radical Islam.

Then, there was the disastrous strategy of announcing our departure date
from Iraq, handing large parts of the country over to ISIS killers.

ISIS threatens us today because of the decisions Hillary Clinton has made.
ISIS also threatens peaceful Muslims across the Middle East, and peaceful
Muslims across the world, who have been terribly victimized by horrible
brutality and who only want to raise their kids in peace and safety.

In short, Hillary Clintons tryout for the presidency has produced one
deadly foreign policy disaster after another.

It all started with her bad judgment in supporting the War in Iraq in the
first place.

Though I was not in government service, I was among the earliest to

criticize

the rush to war, and yes, even before the war ever started.

But Hillary Clinton learned nothing from Iraq, because when she got into
power,

she couldnt wait to rush us off to war in Libya.

She lacks the temperament, the judgment and the competence to lead.

In the words of a Secret Service agent posted outside the Oval Office:

She simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve

in the officefrom the bottom of my soul, I know this to be trueHer

leadership style volcanic, impulsivedisdainful of the rules set for
everyone else hasnt changed a bit.

Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Hillary Clintons foreign policy is
that she refuses to acknowledge the threat posed by Radical Islam.
In fact, Hillary Clinton supports a radical 550% increase in Syrian refugees
coming into the United States, and that's an increase over President
Obama's already very high number.

Under her plan, we would admit hundreds of thousands of refugees from

the most dangerous countries on Earth with no way to screen who they
are or what they believe.

Already, hundreds of recent immigrants and their children have been

convicted of terrorist activity inside the U.S.

The father of the Orlando shooter was a Taliban supporter from

Afghanistan, one of the

most repressive anti-gay and anti-women regimes on Earth.

I only want to admit people who share our values and love our people.

Hillary Clinton wants to bring in people who believe women should be

enslaved

and gays put to death.

Maybe her motivation lies among the more than 1,000 foreign donations
Hillary failed to disclose while at the State Department.

Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.

Here is some more of what we learned from the book,

Clinton Cash:
A foreign telecom giant faced possible State Department sanctions for
providing technology to Iran, and other oppressive regimes. So what did
this company do? For the first time ever, they decided to pay Bill Clinton
$750,000 for a single speech. The Clintons got their cash, the telecom
company escaped sanctions.

Hillary Clintons State Department approved the transfer of 20% of

Americas uranium holdings to Russia, while 9 investors in the deal
funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary Clinton appointed a top donor to a national security board with top
secret access even though he had no national security credentials.

Hillary Clinton accepted $58,000 in jewelry from the government of Brunei

when she was Secretary of State plus millions more for her foundation.
The Sultan of Brunei has pushed oppressive Sharia law, including the
punishment of death by stoning for being gay. The government of Brunei
also stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Hillarys Trans-Pacific
Partnership, which she would absolutely approve if given the chance.

Hillary Clinton took up to $25 million from Saudi Arabia, where being gay
is also punishable by death.

Hillary took millions from Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and many other countries
that horribly abuse women and LGBT citizens.

To cover-up her corrupt dealings, Hillary Clinton illegally stashed her State
Department emails on a private server.

Her server was easily hacked by foreign governments perhaps even by

her financial backers in Communist China putting all of America in
danger.
Then there are the 33,000 emails she deleted.

While we may not know what is in those deleted emails, our enemies
probably do.

So they probably now have a blackmail file over someone who wants to be
President of the United States.

This fact alone disqualifies her from the Presidency.

We cant hand over our government to someone whose deepest, darkest

secrets may be in the hands of our enemies.

National security is also immigration security

and Hillary wants neither.

Hillary Clinton has put forward the most radical immigration platform in
the history of the United States.

She has pledged to grant mass amnesty and in her first 100 days, end
virtually all immigration enforcement, and thus create totally open borders
in the United States

The first victims of her radical policies will be poor African-American and
Hispanic workers who need jobs. They are the ones she will hurt the most.

Let me share with you a letter our campaign received from Mary Ann
Mendoza.

She lost her amazing son, Police Sergeant Brandon Mendoza, after he was
killed by an illegal immigrant because of the open borders policies
supported by Hillary Clinton.
Sadly, the Mendoza family is just one of thousands who have suffered the
same fate.

Here is an excerpt from Mrs. Mendozas letter:

Hillary Clinton, who already has the blood of so many on her hands, is
now announcing that she is willing to put each and every one of our lives in
harms way an open door policy to criminals and terrorists to enter our
country. Hillary is not concerned about you or I, she is only concerned
about the power the presidency would bring to her. She needs to go to
prison to pay for the crimes she has already committed against this
country.

Hillary also wants to spend hundreds of billions to resettle Middle Eastern

refugees in the United States, on top of the current record level of
immigration.

For the amount of money Hillary Clinton would like to spend on refugees,
we could rebuild every inner city in America.

Hillarys Wall Street immigration agenda will keep immigrant communities

poor, and unemployed Americans out of work. She cant claim to care about
African-American and Hispanic workers when she wants to bring in
millions of new low-wage workers

to compete against them.

Here are a few things a Trump Administration will do for America in the
first 100 days:

Appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution. Hillary Clintons radical
judges will virtually abolish the 2nd amendment.
Change immigration rules to give unemployed Americans an opportunity to
fill good-paying jobs

Stand up to countries that cheat on trade, of which there are many

Cancel rules and regulations that send jobs overseas

Lift restrictions on energy production

Repeal and replace job-killing Obamacare -- it is a disaster.

Pass massive tax reform to create millions of new jobs.

Impose tough new ethics rules to restore dignity to the Office of Secretary
of State.

There is one common theme in all of these reforms.

Its going to be America First.

This is why the stakes in November are so great.

On election day, the politicians stand trial before the people.

The voters are the jury. Their ballots are the verdict. We dont need or want
another Clinton or Obama.

Come November, the American people will have a chance to issue a verdict
on the politicians that have sacrificed their security, betrayed their
prosperity, and sold out

their country.
They will have a chance to vote for a new agenda with big dreams, bold
ideas and enormous possibilities for the American people.

Hillary Clintons message is old and tired. Her message is that cant
change.

My message is that things have to change and this is our one chance do it.
This is our last chance to do it.

Americans are the people that tamed the West, that dug out the Panama
Canal, that sent satellites across the solar system, that built the great dams,
and so much more.

Then we started thinking small.

We stopped believing in what America could do, and became reliant on

other countries, other people, and other institutions.

We lost our sense of purpose, and daring.

But thats not who we are.

Come this November, we can bring America back bigger and better, and
stronger than ever.

We will build the greatest infrastructure on the planet earth the roads
and railways and airports of tomorrow.

Our military will have the best technology and finest equipment we will
bring it back all the way.

Massive new factories will come roaring into our country breathing life
and hope into our communities.
Inner cities, which have been horribly abused by Hillary Clinton and the
Democrat Party, will finally be rebuilt.

Construction is what I know -- nobody knows it better.

The real wages for our workers have not been raised for 18 years -- but
these wages will start going up, along with the new jobs. Hillarys massive
taxation, regulation and open borders will destroy jobs and drive down
wages for everyone.

We are also going to be supporting our police and law enforcement -- we

can never forget the great job they do.

I am also going to appoint great Supreme Court Justices.

Our country is going to start working again.

People are going to start working again.

Parents are going to start dreaming big for their children again including
parents in our inner cities.

Americans are going to start believing in the future or our country.

We are going to make America rich again.

We are going to make America safe again.

We are going to make America Great Again and Great Again For
EVERYONE.

Manchester, New Hampshire

It is so great to be back in New Hampshire. I have developed such deep affection for this state and for
its people. My first victory took place here.

Over the next 74 days, we are all going to work very hard together to win this state just like we did
in the primaries and to win the White House for the American people.

Our victory is going to be a victory for the great majority of Americans whose voice has not been
heard.

Year after year, we live under a Washington regime that ignores your demands, rejects your cries for
help, and that always puts your needs last.

The real divide in this election is not between left and right, but between everyday working people
and a corrupt political establishment that works only for itself.

This election is a chance for the great majority of decent citizens to end the rule of a small group of
special interests and to return that power to the voters.

Hillary Clinton believes only in government of, by and for the powerful.

I am promising government of, by and for the people.

In this fight, we are taking on some very entrenched and well-financed interests. These are the same
people who pay Hillary $10,000 dollars a minute for a speech. These special interests are the same
people who own the newspapers that cover-up her crimes. These are the Wall Street firms who paid
Hillary Clinton a quarter of a million dollars each time she delivered her secret remarks. They are the
same people who paid Bill and Hillary Clinton over $150 million dollars for speeches since Bill left the
Oval Office and who donated countless millions more to the Clinton Foundation.

But, you have the power, with your vote, to defeat those special interests and put the people back in
charge once more.

This has been a historic week in American politics.

The voters have always known that our leadership in Washington D.C. is corrupt, and that the system
is very badly rigged.

But this week the curtain was lifted. The corruption was revealed for all to see. The veil was pulled
back on a vast criminal enterprise run out of the State Department by Hillary Clinton.

As the Associated Press documented, more than half of the meetings Hillary Clinton took as
Secretary of State with people outside government were Foundation donors.

Hillary Clintons chief of staff received more messages from the Clinton Foundations Chief Operating
Officer than just about anyone else.

85 donors alone that she met with as Secretary gave the Foundation $156 million dollars.

On top of that, Bill Clintons total speaking fees rose 44% while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State
often raking in money from people who had business or matters before the State Department.

As I said weeks ago, Hillary Clinton ran the State Department like a personal hedge fund.

It is hard to tell where the Clinton Foundation ended, and where the State Department began.

Access and favors were sold for cash. Its called Pay-For-Play.
Over and over and over, people who donated to the Clinton Foundation or who gave money to Bill
Clinton got favorable treatment from Hillary Clintons State Department.

The examples are too many to name here in full, and Ive gone over some in recent days. They
include the deal to sell 20% of U.S. Uranium to Russia, or the favorable treatment for UBS. It includes
the exemption of Telecom Giant Ericsson from government sanctions. It includes efforts to put a
Foundation donor with no national security experience onto a highly-sensitive national security
panel with access to top secret information. It includes Foundation donors getting lucrative contracts
in Haiti all while the people of Haiti suffered horribly.

But these examples are only the tip of the Clinton Corruption iceberg.

Hillary Clintons actions constitute all of the elements of a major criminal enterprise.

She created a private illegal email server in order to hide her corrupt dealings. She did so knowing
full well it would put American lives at risk by making classified information highly vulnerable to
foreign hacking. But, she didnt care as long as it helped her get away with her crime, no risk to
America was too great.

Then, to further cover-up her crime, she deleted 33,000 emails to keep them out of the hands of
authorities and the American public.

As a further element of the criminal cover-up, she claimed under penalty of perjury that she turned
over all of her work related emails. We now know this to be one more massive Clinton lie. The FBI
found thousands of work-related emails she failed to turn over, including the new discovery this
week of 15,000 more work-related emails she failed to disclose.

What is being uncovered now is one of the most shocking scandals in American political history.

A Secretary of State sold her office to corporations and foreign governments, betraying the public
trust putting innocent lives in danger and then she went to great lengths to hide, delete, destroy
and lie about the evidence. Just like her lie that she never sent any material marked classified.

Lie after lie after lie.

This is the corruption we expect to see in a Third World country but not in America.

Just imagine the damage to our security, to our integrity, to our standing in the world, if Hillary
Clinton is allowed to sell the Oval Office the same way she sold her office as Secretary of State.

We cannot let this happen.

We must vote on November 8th to keep the American government from being sold to the highest
bidder.

Vote to save your country. Vote to protect your family. Vote for honesty, integrity and accountability.

Now, as all of these revelations have been discovered this week, Hillary Clinton has been in hiding.

But today, she emerges. However, she is emerging not to take responsibility for her unethical and
criminal conduct, but instead to make one of the most brazen attempts at distraction in the history of
politics.
Now, I have not seen Hillary Clintons remarks. And, in a sense, I dont want to dignify them by
dwelling on them too much, but a response is required for the sake of all decent voters she is trying
to smear.

The news reports are that Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign, and the millions of
decent Americans who support this campaign, of being racists.

Its the oldest play in the Democratic playbook.

When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one tired argument. Its the last refuge of
the discredited politician.

They keep going back to this same well, but the well has run dry.

This is the year that the people who have been betrayed by Democratic policies, including millions of
African-American and Hispanic-American citizens, reject the politicians who have failed them and
vote for change.

As Ive discussed for many days now, Democratic politicians have run nearly every inner city in
America for fifty or sixty years or more. Their policies have produced only more poverty, joblessness,
and failing schools.

Every policy Hillary Clinton supports is a policy that has failed and betrayed communities of color in
this country. But she just doesnt care shes too busy raking in cash from the people rigging the
system.

Nearly 4 in 10 African-American children live in poverty. 58% of African-American youth are not
working. More than 2,700 people have been shot in Chicago this year alone.

These are the consequences of Hillary Clintons policies. She has brought nothing but pain and
heartache to our inner cities.

On top of that, she wants to raise taxes on African-American owned businesses to as much as nearly
50 percent. We should be helping these businesses to grow and expand but Hillary Clinton is trying
to shut them down.

She opposes school choice.

She supports open borders that violate the civil rights of African-Americans by giving their jobs to
people here unlawfully.

She supports trade policies that have closed factories in African-American communities and put
millions of African-Americans out of work.

She supports radical regulations that put Americans out of work and raise the price of their energy
bills.

She supports policies on crime that make communities less safe, and that make it harder to raise
your children in security and peace.

I believe every single parent in this country and especially in the inner cities has the right to raise
their kids in safety. This is one of the great civil rights issues of our time.

But Hillary Clinton doesnt want to talk about any of this. She cant defend her record. She doesnt
have one single proposal that hasnt been tried and failed. She doesnt have one idea that does
anything but destroy jobs for African-American and Hispanic citizens and all citizens in our
country.

So what does she do when she cant defend her record?

She lies, she smears, she paints decent Americans as racists. She bullies voters, who only want a
better future, and tries to intimidate them out of voting for change.

As I discussed yesterday, these are the same tactics the establishment powers used to try to scare
the British people out of voting for change too.

It didnt work there. It wont work here.

The American people are ready to vote for freedom, opportunity and justice. They are ready to take
back control of their own futures.

Its time the Clintons were held accountable for their inappropriate conduct. According to the book
Game Change, Bill Clinton said about President Barack Obama that a few years ago this guy would
have been getting us coffee. And weve all seen the cringe-worthy comments from Hillary Clinton,
which I wont get into here but we all know what they are.

Heres the important point though that I want to get across today. Hillary Clinton isnt just attacking
me, shes attacking all the people who support our movement.

We cant let that stand. Voters are used to the old game where failed politicians like Hillary Clinton
falsely smear Republicans with charges of racism. Republicans then back down. Democrats then
continue to push policies that are devastating to communities of color.

We must break this corrupt cycle. And we are going to break it beginning today.

So let me make some very clear statements before this whole country.

First, on the border. People who want their laws enforced and respected, and who want their border
secured, are not racists. They are patriotic Americans of all backgrounds who want their jobs
protected and their country kept safe. I will never apologize for pledging to enforce and uphold every
single law of the United States, and to make my immigration priority defending and protecting
American citizens above every other single consideration. We will end illegal immigration and we will
restore the Constitutional rule of law.

Next, on national security. People who speak out against Radical Islam, and who warn about
refugees, are not Islamophobes. They are decent American citizens who want to uphold our values
as a tolerant society, and who want to keep the terrorists out of our country. If the choice is between
saving lives or appeasing politically-correct censors in Washington D.C., that is the easiest choice I
will ever have to make. I will always choose saving American lives.

Now, on crime. People who support the police, and who want crime reduced, are not prejudiced.
They are concerned and loving citizens whose hearts break every time an innocent child is lost to
preventable violence. There is no compassion in tolerating crime, and poisonous drug dealing, and
the killings in our streets. I will work to dismantle the criminal gangs and cartels and to liberate our
poorest citizens from crime and violence and poverty and fear.

To Hillary Clinton, and to her donors and advisors, pushing her to spread her smears and her lies
about decent people, I have three words. I want you to hear these words, and remember these
words: Shame On You.
When you are like the Clintons, getting $69 million dollars in political contributions from Wall Street
and Big Banks, it is easy to look down on the so-called little people. Its easy to ignore the devastation
caused by our open borders when you spend all your time with wealthy donors and Hollywood
celebrities. It is easy to ignore the heartfelt concerns of communities about Radical Islam entering
our country, when you spend your time hanging out with foreign dictators in their lavish palaces. And
it is easy, no doubt, for Hillary Clinton to turn a blind eye to the ravages of crime, when she has her
own personal armed security force.

This is how the system is rigged.

For decades, the American people have demanded that their immigration laws be enforced and that
their jobs be protected from out-of-control immigration. But the special interests, who only want
cheap labor, have stopped it from happening.

For years, the American people have worried about letting Radical Islam spread within our shores,
but the elites who only want to raise more money from global corporations ignore the concerns
of the American voters.

For fifty years, people living in our inner cities have suffered under a failed policy regime. But the
Democratic politicians who only want to please media executives and Wall Street donors do
nothing but expand the hurt and the suffering.

It is time for a new day to dawn in America.

On November 8th, we will end the rule of special interests and we will begin the rule of the people.

I am asking for your vote so that we can break free from the failures of the past and create a New
American Future.

I am asking for your vote so that we can achieve amazing things for the American people.

I am asking for the vote of every African-American, and Hispanic-American, who wants a better
future a future that begins with jobs, jobs and more jobs.

We will fix our disastrous trade deals and stand up to countries that cheat.

We will lower taxes and create millions of new jobs as a result.

We will unleash an American energy revolution.

We will eliminate job-killing regulations.

We will repeal and replace job-killing Obamacare.

We will enforce our immigration laws, and we will put rules in place that hire American workers first.

We will end the era of nation-building, and instead work in partnership with our allies to crush and
destroy ISIS.

We will keep Radical Islamic Terrorism out of our country.

We will promote the values of tolerance, justice and acceptance.

We will steadfastly reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all of its forms.
America will be one nation united in common purpose and common dreams. Our citizens will
proudly promote our values and our system of government as the best in the world and we will do
so without apology.

Together, We Will Make America Prosperous Again.

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

Friends, citizens and fellow Americans: We Will Make America Great Again.

Thank you, and God Bless!

Akron, Ohio
Its so great to be in Ohio. I love this state where I once worked and I love the people of this state.

I have a message for all of you tonight: we are going to win Ohio, we are going to win the White
House, and we are going to bring back your jobs.

We are going to negotiate fair trade deals that put American workers first.

We are going to stop the product dumping, the unfair foreign subsidies, and the currency
manipulation. We are going to stop the foreign cheating.

The era of economic surrender is over.

A new era of American Greatness is beginning.

No state has been hurt worse by the Hillary Clinton trade policies than Ohio.

Hillary Clinton backed her husbands NAFTA, she backed Chinas entrance into the World Trade
Organization, she backed the job-killing trade deal with South Korea, and backed the Trans-Pacific
Partnership.

One bad deal after another.

Hillary Clintons donors own her, and she will do whatever they tell her to do.

Ohio and the Akron area have lost nearly 1 in 3 manufacturing jobs since NAFTA.

This region and this state have lost nearly 1 in 4 manufacturing jobs since China entered the World
Trade Organization.

Our trade deficit in goods with the world is now nearly $800 billion dollars. This subtracts directly
from our growth our economy grew only 1.2 percent in the last quarter, a total disaster.

This is the legacy of Obama-Clinton.

I am promising a new legacy for America.

We are going to create a New American Future.

But to do that, we have to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Our trade deficit with the proposed TPP member countries cost the state of Ohio more than 100,000
manufacturing jobs last year. Imagine how many more jobs would be lost if TPP was actually
approved.

Hillary Clinton, who called the TPP the Gold Standard, would 100% approve it if she ever got in. Her
closest friend, Terry McAuliffe, confirmed that she would.

We wont let that happen.

We will win this election, and we will keep America out of the TPP.

We will defend our freedom, our jobs, and our economic independence.

Its going to be America First.

My economic plan is going to grow this economy, raise your wages, and create millions of new jobs.

Here are a few of the things we will do:

A massive tax cut for working Americans, and a 15% tax rate for small businesses.

We are going to eliminate regulations that kill American jobs, and that includes getting rid of the
Obama Administrations new anti-energy rules that will raise Ohio energy bills by more than 40
percent.

These Obama-Clinton energy restrictions are a tax on the poor, and they devastate low-income
African-American and Latino workers.

Ohio gets 60% of its electricity from coal-powered energy.

Hillary Clinton says she wants to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. Just
like she wants to put the steel workers out of business.

We are going to put the miners and the steel workers back to work and we are going to get your
energy bills down.

We are going to repeal and replace Obamacare, saving another 2 million jobs over the next decade.

Another major part of our agenda is law and order. More than 2,600 have been shot in Chicago alone
since the beginning of this year.

This is one of the biggest differences between me and my opponent. I believe that safety is a right
that belongs to all Americans.

Let me take this opportunity to thank the law enforcement officers here in this city, and across this
country, for their service and sacrifice in difficult times.

Working with communities and police, I pledge to bring safety to communities across this land but
especially to those places that have not known safety in a very, very long time.

I want every parent and child in this society including every African-American and Hispanic citizen
to be able to live in a safe, thriving and prosperous community.

This is the New American Future that we are working together to create.

Hillary Clinton is the past.

We are the future.

Another major part of our agenda is immigration security. We need to protect American jobs. We
need to protect American safety.

Low-income workers are hurt the most by my opponents policies. Poor Hispanic and African-
American citizens are the first to lose a job, or see a pay cut, when we dont control our borders.

According to Pew Research, immigration over the next fifty years will add another 100 million to our
population. It will be much, much more than even that under Hillary Clintons radical plans. Thats
unfair to the low-income workers African-American, Latino, all Americans living here today and
trying to get ahead.

Hillary Clinton has forgotten the first rule of public service. The job of an elected official is to serve
the citizens of the United States. If you dont understand that, then you cannot run for President.

If you are not prepared to put American workers first, then you should not hold or seek public office.

Its just that simple.

No issue better illustrates how corrupt my opponent is than her pay-for-play scandals as Secretary of
State.

As the evidence has become public over the last several months, I have become increasingly shocked
by the vast scope of Hillary Clintons criminality.

Hillary Clinton said she turned over all of her work related emails. She testified that to Congress
under penalty of perjury. Now we learn about another 15,000 emails she failed to turn over have just
been discovered.

Colin Powell just proved again how dishonest Hillary Clinton is after he busted her for trying to pin
her email scandal on him one more Hillary Clinton lie.

Her Foundation took in large payments from major corporations and wealthy individuals, foreign and
domestic, all while she was Secretary of State.

The Clinton Foundation accepted as much as $60 million dollars from Middle Eastern countries that
oppress women, gays and people of different faiths.

The Foundation donors included corporations and individuals with significant matters before the
State Department. And then either Hillary Clinton herself or one of her closest aides took action
favorable to the donor.

Her actions corrupted and disgraced one of the most important Departments of government, indeed
one of only four established by the United States Constitution itself.

The Clintons made the State Department into the same kind of Pay-to-Play operations as the
Arkansas Government was: pay the Clinton Foundation huge sums of money and throw in some big
speaking fees for Bill Clinton and you got to play with the State Department.

The amounts involved, the favors done and the significant numbers of times it was done require an
expedited investigation by a Special Prosecutor. After the FBI and Department of Justice whitewash
of the Clinton email crimes, they certainly cannot be trusted to quickly or impartially investigate
Hillary Clintons crimes.
Some former prosecutors have even suggested that the coordination between the pay-for-play State
Department and the corrupt Clinton Foundation constitute a clear example of a RICO (Racketeer
Influenced Corrupt Organization) enterprise.

The Justice Department is required to appoint an independent Special Prosecutor because it has
proven itself to be a political arm of the White House.

The DOJ has acted very unethically, particularly the Attorney Generals private lengthy meeting with
Bill Clinton shortly before the Departments decision not to prosecute her for crimes that would have
been prosecuted against almost any other citizen.

If the Justice Department fails to do so, it will make it even clearer that a second of the four primary
constitutional Departments have been corrupted.

Here is one example of Clinton Corruption.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton signed off on a deal allowing Russians to take an increased stake
in a company called Uranium One, giving up control of about 20 percent of Americas uranium supply
to the Russians. Clintons approval of the deal netted the owners of the uranium company millions of
dollars. In exchange for signing off on the deal, some of the former owners of Uranium One gave the
Clinton Foundation millions of dollars in donations. In addition, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a
speech to a Kremlin-backed investment firm that was a beneficiary of the deal.

Here is another example of pay-for-play.

In 2009, Ericsson telecommunications came under U.S. pressure for selling telecom equipment to
several oppressive governments including Sudan, Syria, and Iran. Some these regimes used those
technologies to monitor and control their own people.

In June 2011, Hillary Clintons State Department began adding goods and services to a list that might
be covered under expanded sanctions on Iran and other state sponsors of terrorism.

During that time, Ericsson sponsored a speech by Bill Clinton, paying him $750,000 his highest
paying speech.

In April 2012, the Obama Administration issued an executive order imposing sanctions on telecom
sales to Iran and Syria but those sanctions did not cover Ericssons work in Iran.

A Trump Administration will end the government corruption.

No one will be above the law.

We will have one set of rules for everyone. In Hillary Clintons world, we have one set of rules for her
and another set of rules for everyone else.

I am fighting for everyone who doesnt have a voice. The forgotten men and women of America.

I am your voice.

Hillary Clintons campaign is funded by Wall Street and hedge fund managers.

My campaign is powered by my own money, but also by small dollar donations from working people
across this country who want their country back.
Nothing terrifies the ruling class more than when everyday working people give 5, 10, or 15 dollars to
our campaign to help us take government away from the special interests and give it back to the
voters.

Come November 8th, we are once again going to have a government that serves you, your family, and
your country.

We are going to rebuild our depleted military, avoid needless foreign wars, build new friendships
overseas, and remember those three famous words: Peace Through Strength.

We are going to work with our allies to crush, defeat, and utterly destroy ISIS.

We are going to have a new immigration screening test to keep people out of our country who dont
support our tolerant values.

We are also going to reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton, who sees people of color only as votes and
not as human beings worthy of a better future.

The Democratic Party has run nearly every inner city for half a century or more. They have produced
only more poverty, failing schools, and broken homes.

In the last eight years, the African-American labor force participation has declined another 3
percentage points and its dropped another 6 percent for teenagers. Nearly 4 in 10 African-
American children live in poverty. African-American home ownership has declined nearly ten
percentage points.

Meanwhile, since 2009, another 2 million Latinos have fallen into poverty. Incomes for Latino
workers fell by almost another $1,000 dollars.

Meanwhile, homicides are up nearly 50 percent in Washington D.C. and more than 60 percent in
Baltimore. The level of crime in these cities is something no American should consider acceptable.
Our government has failed these residents.

For those hurting the most who have been failed again and again by their politicians Ive asked in
recent days, what do you have to lose by trying something new? If you keep voting for the same
failed politicians you will keep getting the same results. But, most importantly, I want to talk
about what you have to gain. Those hurting in our county have so much to gain by joining our
campaign for a new, and more inclusive, American Future.

My tax reforms will add millions of new jobs and thousands of new small businesses.

My energy reforms will create millions of new jobs and lower the price of your energy bill.

My trade reforms will raise wages, grow jobs and add trillions in new wealth into our country.

My immigration reforms will protect your jobs and stop businesses from exploiting visa programs
that hurt poor workers.

My infrastructure plans will rebuild your roads, bridges and airports.

My regulatory reforms will make it easier for African-Americans small businesses to thrive, and for
young children to live out their dreams.
My promise of school choice, charter schools and merit-pay for teachers will help low-income
students in our inner cities. Hillary Clinton discriminates against poor African-American children by
opposing school choice.

My government reforms will make your voice heard not the voice of the special interests.

Every insider, getting rich off of our broken system, is throwing money at Hillary Clinton.

Its the powerful protecting the powerful.

Insiders fighting for insiders.

I am fighting for you.

Every day you turn on the nightly news, you hear about how some self-interested banker or some
Washington insider says they oppose our campaign. Or some encrusted old politician says they
oppose our campaign. Or some big time lobbyist says they oppose our campaign.

I wear their opposition as a badge of honor. Because it means I am fighting for REAL change, not just
partisan change. I am fighting all of us across the country are fighting for peaceful regime change
in our own country. The media-donor-political complex thats bled this country dry has to be
replaced with a new government of, by and for the people.

I will fight to ensure that every American is treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally.
We will reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all of its forms, and seek a new future of security,
prosperity and opportunity a future built on our common culture and values as one American
people.

I am asking for your vote so I can be your champion in the White House.

To every parent who dreams for their children, and to every child who dreams for their future, I say
these words to you tonight: Im with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make American Safe Again.

And We Will Make America Great Again.

Thank you, and God Bless.

Dimondale, Michigan
What a crowd. Thank you. I love Michigan and come November, with your help, we are going to
win Michigan, and we are going to win the White House.

Its going to be a victory for the people. A victory for the wage-earner, the factory worker, a victory
for the everyday citizen and for all the people whose voice hasnt been heard.

It will be a win for the voters not the pundits, not the journalists, not the lobbyists, not the global
special interests funding my opponents campaign.

This is going to be YOUR victory.

These are hard times for many in this country. I just got back from a tour of the suffering and
devastation in Louisiana. We mourn for the lives lost, and we pledge our help, comfort and support
to every last person in need. To the people of Louisiana: We are with you, and we will always be with
you.

In my visit, I saw not only the suffering of our people, but also their strength, courage and
unbeatable spirit. Their spirit will overcome.

Its that amazing spirit that we will need to rebuild this country. Its that strength we are going to
need to create the New American Future our children deserve.

In this new future, millions of workers on the sidelines will be returned to the workforce.

Crumbling roads, bridges and airports will be replaced with the infrastructure our country needs and
deserves.

Families trapped in welfare will be provided with jobs and opportunity.

Children stuck in failing government schools will be able to attend the school of their families choice.

Government will become lean, effective, responsible and honest.

Our border will be protected, and our children will be safe.

Law and order will be restored, and the poorest places in our country will know safety and peace.

American values and culture will be cherished and celebrated once again.

But to achieve this New American Future, we must break free from the bitter failures of the past
and reject the same insiders telling us the same old lies.

No group in America has been more harmed by Hillary Clintons policies than African-Americans. If
Hillary Clintons goal was to inflict pain on the African-American community, she couldnt have done
a better job.

Tonight, I am asking for the vote of every African-American citizen in this country who wants a better
future.

The inner cities of our country have been run by the Democratic Party for 50 years. Their policies
have produced only poverty, joblessness, failing schools, and broken homes.

It is time to hold Democratic Politicians accountable for what they have done to these communities.
It is time to hold failed leaders accountable for their results, not just their empty words.

Look at what the Democratic Party has done to the city of Detroit.

Forty percent of Detroits residents live in poverty. Half of all Detroit residents do not work.

Detroit tops the list of Most Dangerous Cities in terms of violent crime.

This is the legacy of the Democrat politicians who have run this city. This is the result of the policy
agenda embraced by Hillary Clinton.

The only way to change results is to change leadership. We can never fix our problems by relying on
the same politicians who created our problems in the first place.

A new future requires new leadership.

Look at how much African-American communities have suffered under Democratic Control. To those
hurting, I say: what do you have to lose by trying something new?

One thing we know for sure is that if you keep voting for the same people you will keep getting the
same result.

My Administration will go to work for you as no one ever has.

By contrast, the one thing every item in Hillary Clintons agenda has in common is that it takes jobs
and opportunities from African-American workers. Her support for open borders. Her fierce
opposition to school choice. Her plan to massively raise taxes on small businesses. Her opposition to
American energy. And her record of giving our jobs away to other countries.

America must reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton who sees communities of color only as votes, not
as human beings worthy of a better future.

Hillary Clinton would rather provide a job to a refugee from overseas than to give that job to
unemployed African-American youth in cities like Detroit who have become refugees in their own
country.

It is time to get our country back to work, and that includes an all-out effort to help young African-
Americans get the good-paying jobs they deserve.

Hillary Clintons plan would bring in an estimated 620,000 refugees in her first term at a lifetime
benefit cost of some $400 billion dollars, according to the U.S. Senate Immigration Subcommittee.
She wants to be Americas Angela Merkel. By the way, for the price of supporting 1 refugee in the
United States, we could support 12 in a safe zone in the Middle East.

The improved refugee screening standards I have proposed will save countless billions of dollars. We
will invest a portion of the money saved in a jobs program for inner city youth.

The African-American community has given so much to this country. Theyve fought and died in
every war since the Revolution. Theyve lifted up the conscience of our nation in the long march for
Civil Rights. Theyve sacrificed so much for the national good. Yet, nearly 4 in 10 African-American
children still live in poverty, and 58% of young African-Americans are not working.

We must do better as a country. I refuse to believe that the future must be like the past.

In a Trump Administration, all workers of all colors will get priority for jobs in their own country. I
want higher wages for African-Americans, for Hispanic-Americans, for all Americans.

Hillary Clinton is a throwback to an ugly past where politicians preyed on our poorest citizens while
selling them out for personal gain.

We must turn the page on yesterday. Only a change in leadership will produce a change in outcomes.

In this New American Future, American workers will always come first.

This will include a complete revitalization of the Michigan manufacturing sector, which has been so
badly hurt by Hillary Clintons policies.

We are bringing the jobs back to Michigan.

Michigan lost more than 1 in 4 of its manufacturing jobs since NAFTA. As you know, NAFTA was
signed by President Bill Clinton. It was supported by Hillary Clinton. Right here, in this community,
youve lost 1 in 7 manufacturing jobs since Bill Clinton put China into the World Trade Organization
another Hillary Clinton-backed deal. Detroit lost more than 1 in 3 manufacturing jobs following the
NAFTA and WTO agreements supported by my opponent.

No industry has been hurt more by Hillary Clintons policies than the car industry. Its been a total
disaster.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, before NAFTA went into effect, there were 285,000 auto
workers in Michigan. Today, that number is only 160,000.

In 2014, GM announced plans to double its investments in Mexico by 2018.

In April 2016, Ford Motor Company announced plans to invest $1.6 billion constructing an auto plant
in Mexico.

That same month, Fiat Chrysler announced 1,300 layoffs. Lear Corporation launched plans to build
two new factories in Mexico.

The list goes on and on.

We will turn it all around. But to do that, we have to win in November.

The destruction that NAFTA started will be finished off if the Trans-Pacific Partnership is approved.
We know from Hillarys closest friend, Terry McAuliffe, that she is planning to ram through the TPP if
shes elected. She even called the TPP the gold standard.

Its passage would be a disaster. We wont let it happen.

According to the Economic Policy Institute, the U.S. trade deficit with the proposed TPP member
countries cost over 1 million manufacturing jobs in 2015.

By far the biggest losses occurred in motor vehicles and parts, which lost nearly 740,000
manufacturing jobs.

Michigan ranks first for jobs lost as a share of state workforce due to the trade deficit with TPP
members.

Just imagine how many more automobile jobs will be lost if Hillary gets her wish and approves the
TPP. That is why I have announced we will withdraw from the deal before that can ever happen.

I have previously laid out a detailed 7-point plan for trade reform, available on my website. It
includes strong protections against currency manipulation from counties like China, and tariffs
against any nation that cheats by unfairly subsidizing their goods. My plan also includes a
renegotiation of NAFTA. If we dont get a better deal, we will walk away.

We want trade deals. But we want trade deals that work for America that create jobs and wealth in
our country. We want to shrink our trade deficit, not expand it. We want to be leading the world in
production, exports and manufacturing. We want jobs to leave other countries and come to our
country.

Another major issue in this race is foreign policy. Hillary Clinton has made one bad foreign policy
decision after another beginning with her support for going to war in Iraq in the first place, which I
opposed.
Her tenure as Secretary of State may be regarded as the most disastrous in U.S. history, but yet she is
totally without remorse.

Her failed decisions as Secretary of State unleashed ISIS onto the world.

But has she ever apologized for the death and destruction she has caused?

Look at the world before and after she became Secretary of State.

Pre-Hillary, in early 2009, Iraq was seeing a reduction in violence.

Libya was stable.

Syria was under control.

The group we know today as ISIS was close to being extinguished.

Iran was being choked by sanctions.

Now, fast-forward to present time.

After Hillary, here is what the world looks like:

Iraq is in total chaos.

Syria is in the midst of a disastrous civil war and a refugee crisis now threatens Europe and the
United States.

ISIS has been unleashed onto the entire world.

Iran the worlds top state sponsor of terrorism has been put on the path to nuclear weapons, and
was given a $400 million ransom payment, something which has now been confirmed after President
Obamas lies.

This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and terrorism.

America deserves a better legacy. All of you deserve a better future. I am the change agent. Hillary
Clinton is the defender of the status quo.

While our country lost badly under Hillary Clinton, she cashed in big time. Bill Clintons speaking fees
surged while Hillary was Secretary of State Bill was paid almost $50 million for speeches during her
tenure, an increase of 44% over the previous 4 years.

Then there was all the money funneled into the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments and
corporations.

It was pay-for-play.

Yet, Hillary Clinton, who is indifferent to the suffering she has caused, has no remorse. She offers no
apologies for selling government favors. No apologies for unleashing ISIS. No apologies for open
borders. No apologies for lying about her emails, or about Benghazi.

The only way to learn the full depth of her public corruption is to read the 33,000 emails she deleted.

And the only way to get justice in this rigged system is to show up and vote on November 8th and to
vote big.

Are you ready to vote for the future you want?

Are you ready to vote for the honest government you deserve?

A Trump Administration will end the corruption and restore integrity to government service.

No one will be above the law.

In A Trump Administration, the State Department will work for the country not for Hillary Clintons
donors.

And I will work for you and for no one else.

I will never lie to you, I will never put any other interest before you, and I will never, every stop
fighting for you.

The government will work for the people again.

That means we are only going to admit individuals into our country who support our values, and
were not going to issue visas where adequate screening cannot take place. We will also seek to join
in partnership with any nation that wishes to join us in defeating and destroying ISIS.

At home, taxes will go down, especially for middle-income Americans. And small business rates will
be lowered to 15 percent, so we can put millions of news job into our poorest neighborhoods.

Obamacare will be repealed and replaced.

Voters, not special interests, will be in charge.

Finally, we are going to bring our country together again. The era of division will be replaced with a
future of unity.

We are going to do it by emphasizing what we all have in common as Americans.

It is time to break with the failures of the past, and to fight for every last child in this country to have
the better future they deserve.

In my Administration, every American will be treated equally, protected equally, and honored
equally. We will reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all of its forms, and seek a new future
built on our common culture and values as one American people.

This is the change I am promising all of you: an honest government, a thriving economy, and a just
society for each and every American.

It is time to vote for a New American Future.

Together, We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

We Will Make America United Again.

We Will Make American Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And We Will Make America Great Again.

Thank you, and God Bless.

West Palm Beach, Florida

Wow. What a group. What a group. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, folks. Thank you,
folks. Its great to be right here in Florida, which we love. In 26 days, we are going to win this great,
great state and we are going to win the White House.

Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt now, when I say corrupt, Im talking about
totally corrupt political establishment, with a new government controlled by you, the American
people. There is nothing the political establishment will not do no lie that they wont tell, to hold
their prestige and power at your expense. And thats whats been happening.

The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only
one reason: to protect and enrich itself. The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this
election. As an example, just one single trade deal theyd like to pass involves trillions of dollars,
controlled by many countries, corporations and lobbyists.

For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests, they
partner with these people that dont have your good in mind. Our campaign represents a true
existential threat like they havent seen before.

This is not simply another four-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that
will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government. The political
establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals,
massive illegal immigration and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.

The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories, and our jobs, as they
flee to Mexico, China and other countries all around the world. Our just-announced job numbers are
anemic. Our gross domestic product, or GDP, is barely above 1 percent. And going down. Workers in
the United States are making less than they were almost 20 years ago, and yet they are working
harder.

But so am I working harder, that I can tell you.

Its a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our
working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of
large corporations and political entities. Just look at what this corrupt establishment has done to our
cities like Detroit; Flint, Michigan; and rural towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and all
across our country. Take a look at whats going on. They stripped away these town bare. And raided
the wealth for themselves and taken our jobs away out of our country never to return unless Im
elected president.
The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure. Weve seen this first hand in the
WikiLeaks documents, in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the
destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest
friends and her donors.

So true.

Honestly, she should be locked up. Should be locked up. And likewise the e-mails show that the
Clinton machine is so closely and irrevocably tied to the media organizations that she, that she
listen to this is given the questions and answers in advance of her debate performance with
Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton is also given approval and veto power over quotes written about her in the New York
Times. They definitely do not do that to me, that I can tell you. And the e-mails show the reporters
collaborate and conspire directly with the Clinton campaign on helping her win the election all over.

With their control over our government at stake, with trillions of dollars on the line, the Clinton
machine is determined to achieve the destruction of our campaign, not gonna to happen.

Which has now become a great, great movement, the likes of which our country has never seen
before, never ever. Theyve never seen a movement like this in our country before. Yesterday in
Florida, massive crowds, people lined up outside of big arenas, not able to get in. Never happened
before. Its one of the phenomenas its one of the great political phenomenas. The most powerful
weapon deployed by the Clintons is the corporate media, the press. Lets be clear on one thing, the
corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. Theyre a political special interest
no different than any lobbyist or other financial entity with a total political agenda, and the agenda is
not for you, its for themselves.

And their agenda is to elect crooked Hillary Clinton at any cost, at any price, no matter how many
lives they destroy. For them its a war, and for them nothing at all is out of bounds. This is a struggle
for the survival of our nation, believe me. And this will be our last chance to save it on Nov. 8,
remember that.

This election will determine whether we are a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of
democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system,
and our system is rigged. This is reality, you know it, they know it, I know it, and pretty much the
whole world knows it. The establishment and their media enablers will control over this nation
through means that are very well known. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a
racist, a xenophobe, and morally deformed.

They will attack you, they will slander you, they will seek to destroy your career and your family, they
will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation. They will lie, lie, lie, and then
again they will do worse than that, they will do whatever is necessary. The Clintons are criminals,
remember that. Theyre criminals.

This is well documented, and the establishment that protects them has engaged in a massive cover-
up of widespread criminal activity at the State Department and the Clinton Foundation in order to
keep the Clintons in power.

Never in history have we seen such a cover-up as this, one that includes the total destruction of
33,000 e-mails, 13 iPhones some by hammer laptops, missing boxes of evidence, and many, many
other things. People who are capable of such crimes against our nation are capable of anything. And
so now we address the slander and libels that was just last night thrown at me by the Clinton
machine and the New York Times and other media outlets, as part of a concerted, coordinated and
vicious attack.

Its not coincidence that these attacks come at the exact same moment, and all together at the same
time as WikiLeaks releases documents exposing the massive international corruption of the Clinton
machine, including 2,000 more e-mails just this morning.

These vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false.
And the Clintons know it, and they know it very well. These claims are all fabricated. Theyre pure
fiction and theyre outright lies. These events never, ever happened and the people said them
meekly fully understand. You take a look at these people, you study these people, and youll
understand also.

The claims are preposterous, ludicrous, and defy truth, common sense and logic. We already have
substantial evidence to dispute these lies, and it will be made public in an appropriate way and at an
appropriate time very soon. These lies come from outlets whose past stories and past claims have
already been discredited. The media outlets did not even attempt to confirm the most basic facts
because even a simple investigation would have shown that these were nothing more than false
smears.

Six months ago, the failing New York Times wrote a massive story attacking me, and the central
witness they used said the story was false; that she was quoted inaccurately. She said that I was a
great guy. She had great courage, Ill be honest with you. She was an amazing person. And never
made those remarks that I was a great guy, and never made the remarks. And when I read the
story, I was sort of surprised how could she say that? And she didnt say it.

We demanded a retraction but, they refused to print it, just like they refused to pin the comments
from another source who praised me in her book, or the words of another wonderful woman who
said really nice things about me. They put other statements that she didnt say, they misrepresented.
The story was a fraud and a big embarrassment to The New York Times and it was a big front page
story. Front page, center, color picture, a disgrace. They were very embarrassed; it will be part of the
lawsuit we are preparing against them.

Now, today the same two discredited writers, who shouldve been fired from The New York Times for
what they did, tell another totally fabricated and false story, that supposedly took place on an
airplane more than 30 years ago. Another ridiculous tale, no witnesses, no nothing.

Then, there was a writer from People Magazine, who wrote a story on Melania and myself on our
first anniversary. The story was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was lovely. But last night we hear that
after 12 years this took place 12 years ago, this story a new claim that I made inappropriate
advances during the interview to this writer.

And I asked very simple question, why wasnt it part of the story that appeared 20 or 12 years ago?
Why wasnt it a part of the story? Why didnt they make it part of the story? I was one of the biggest
stars on television with The Apprentice and I wouldve been one of the biggest stories of the year.
Think of it, shes doing this story on Melania, who was pregnant at the time. And Donald Trump, our
one year anniversary, and she said I made inappropriate advances, and by the way, the area was a
public area, people all over the place.

Take a look, you take a look. Look at her, look at her words. You tell me, what you think. I dont think
so. I dont think so.

But, it is amazing, doing a story a love story on how great we are together and by the way,
were stronger today than we ever were before, which is good, but its a love story. Its a love story on
our one year. And if I did that, she wouldve added that it wouldve been the headline. And who
wouldve done that if youre doing this and youre one of the top shows on television.

These people are horrible people. Theyre horrible, horrible liars. And interestingly, it happens to
appear 26 days before our very important election, isnt that amazing? This invented account has
already been debunked by eyewitnesses who were there. They were there. The very witness
identified by the author has said the story is totally false.
By the way, this is a room that everybody can see in. Its got glass walls. Its at Mar-A-Lago. Its got
glass walls. Can you believe this? Why wasnt it in the story, biggest story of the year?

This weekend, The New York Times published a full-page hit piece with another claim from an
individual who has been totally discredited based on the many, many, many e-mails and letters she
has sent to our office over the years, looking for work, Donald is great, wanting go to my rallies. But
The New York Times and this was full op-ed piece refused to use the evidence that we
presented, refused to use it. If they used it, if they would have looked, they would have said, theres
no story here.

Others in the media, which almost surprises me because theyre dishonest also, were presented with
the story by this woman numerous times, and they got very excited. But, after seeing the evidence
that we immediately give them, all of them refused to write the story. There was no story.

The Times, though, didnt want to see it. They just wrote the story. And this was a full page opposite
the editorials. This is part of a concerted effort, led by The New York Times and others. Now The New
York Times is fighting desperately for its relevance and its financial survival. And it probably wont
even be around in a few years, based on its financial outlook, which wouldnt be a bad thing, if you
want to know the truth.

But, as it winds down its years and is becoming more and more problematic, its gotten more and
more vicious, more and more vile. And even the other mainstream media is talking about the single
greatest pile-on in history, and all between now and Nov. 8. And you have to see the stories theyve
written, its one after another, after another, and facts mean nothing, third-rate journalism. The great
editors of the past from The New York Times and others, ladies and gentlemen, are spinning in their
grave.

I will not allow the Clinton machine to turn our campaign into a discussion of their slanders and lies,
but, will remain focused on the issues facing the American people.

Thank you, thank you. But, let me state this as clearly as I can, these attacks are orchestrated by the
Clintons and their media allies. The only thing Hillary Clinton has going for herself is the press,
without the press, she is absolutely zero.

And you saw that the other night in the debate, where some people said she made virtually a fool of
herself. This is not presidential material, believe me. What they say is false and slanderous in virtually
every respect. We are now less than a month from the most election of our lifetime. Indeed one of
the most important elections in the history of our country. And the polls are showing us in a dead
heat. Dont believe what you say.
The new, highly respected Rasmussen poll just came out this morning. Just released. Shows up
nationally 2 points ahead, Trump. Beautiful.

Just came out. So now the Clinton machine has put forward a small handful of people out of tens of
thousands of people over the years that Ive met, that Ive worked with, that Ive employed, in order
to make wild and false allegations that fail to meet even the most basic test of common sense. Not
even common sense.

Again, this is nothing more than an attempt to destroy our movement and for the Clintons to keep
their corrupt control over our government. When I declared my candidacy, I knew what bad shape
our country was in. And believe me, all you have to do is look at world events. All you have to do is
look at the $1.7 billion that we sent to Iran in cash in cash.

All you have to do is see the way ISIS was created in the vacuum left by Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama out of Iraq. All you have to do, all you have to do, is look at the 800 people that were very,
very not good for our nation. They were going to be deported. Lo and behold, instead of being
deported, they were made citizens of the United States just recently. And lo and behold, sadly, the
800 people is wrong. It turned out to be close to 1,800 people. Our president is incompetent.

All he wants to do is campaign, and the last thing he wants to happen is to have Donald Trump
terminate Obamacare and do all of the other things that are destroying

Hes led a very divided nation and its only gotten worse. And the last thing our country needs is four
more years of Barack Obama, believe me. Ive seen firsthand the corruption and the sickness that has
taken over our politics. Youve seen it and Ive seen it and were all watching together.

They knew they would throw every lie they could at me and my family and my loved ones. They
knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me. But I never knew as bad as it would be. I never
knew it would be this vile, that it would be this bad, that it would be this vicious.

Nevertheless, I take all of these slings and arrows gladly for you.

I take them for our movement so that we can have our country back.

Our great civilization, here in America and across the civilized world has come upon a moment of
reckoning. Weve seen it in the United Kingdom, where they voted to liberate themselves from global
government and global trade deal, and global immigration deals that have destroyed their
sovereignty and have destroyed many of those nations. But, the central base of world political power
is right here in America, and it is our corrupt political establishment that is the greatest power behind
the efforts at radical globalization and the disenfranchisement of working people. Their financial
resources are virtually unlimited, their political resources are unlimited, their media resources are
unmatched, and most importantly, the depths of their immorality is absolutely unlimited.

They will allow radical Islamic terrorists to enter our country by the thousands.

They will allow the great Trojan horse and I dont want people looking back in a hundred years and
200 years and have that story be told about us because we were led by inept, incompetent and
corrupt people like Barack Obama and like Hillary Clinton. We dont want to be part of that history.

And by the way, President Obama should stop campaigning and start working on creating jobs, start
working on getting our GDP up, start working on strengthening our borders.

The corrupt political establishment is a machine, it has no soul. I knew these false attacks would
come. I knew this day would arrive; its only a question of when. And I knew the American people
would rise above it and vote for the future they deserve.

The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you. The only force strong enough to save our
country is us. The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you, the
American people.

We are going to have a policy: America first.

They control incredibly, the Department of Justice. And they even secretly meet with the Attorney
General of the United States. In the back of her airplane, while on the runway remember he was
there he was going to play golf. Oh, oh gee, theres the Attorney General. Let me go say hello
planes on the runway. Let me go say hello to the Attorney General. He never got to play golf, I
understand. And it was Arizona, a place I love, but the weather was about a hundred and some odd
degrees hes not gonna play. He was never there to play golf, folks, dont be foolish.

They met for 39 minutes and most likely it was to discuss her reappointment, in a Clinton
administration, as the Attorney General, just prior to making a decision over whether or not to
prosecute Hillary Clinton, okay? Thats what happened. Thats called real life and thats pretty sad.
They met for 39 minutes. Remember he said, we talked golf and we talked about our grandchildren.
Three minutes for the grandchildren, two minutes for the golf, then they sat there and they twiddled
their thumbs. Now I believe they talked about her remaining in her position under a crooked Hillary
Clinton administration. Thats what I believe. Thats what I believe folks. Thats what I believe and I
think thats what most people in this room believe.

Likewise, theyve essentially corrupted the Director of the FBI to the point at which stories are
already saying that the great and they are truly great men and women who work for the FBI are
embarrassed and ashamed of what hes done to one of our truly great institutions, the FBI itself.

Hillary Clinton is guilty of all the things that Director Comey stated at his press conference and
Congressional hearings and far more. He stated many things, but its far more and he knows that.
And yet, after reading all of these items, where shes so guilty, he let her off the hook. While other
lives, including General Petraeus and many others, have been destroyed for doing far, far less. This is
a conspiracy against you, the American people, and we cannot let this happen or continue. This is our
moment of reckoning as a society and as a civilization itself. I didnt need to do this, folks, believe me
believe me. I built a great company and I had a wonderful life. I could have enjoyed the fruits and
benefits of years of successful business deals and businesses for myself and my family. Instead of
going through this absolute horror show of lies, deceptions, malicious attacks who would have
thought? Im doing it because this country has given me so much, and I feel so strongly that its my
turn to give back to the country that I love.

Many of my friends and many political experts warned me that this campaign would be a journey to
hell said that. But theyre wrong. It will be a journey to heaven, because we will help so many
people that are so desperately in need of help.

In my former life, I was an insider as much as anybody else. And I knew what its like, and I still know
what its like to be an insider. Its not bad. Its not bad. Now Im being punished for leaving the special
club and revealing to you the terrible things that are going on having to do with our country. Because
I used to be part of the club, Im the only one that can fix it.

Im doing this for the people and for the movement, and we will take back this country for you and
we will make America great again.

The corrupt establishment knows that we are a great threat to their criminal enterprise. They know
that if we win, their power is gone, and its returned to you, the people, will be. The dark clouds
hanging over our government can be lifted and replaced with a bright future. But it all depends on
whether we let the corrupt media decide our future or whether we let the American people decide
our future.
If this Clinton campaign of destruction is allowed to work, then no other highly success and this is
so true, I mean Ive seen this so many times, and Ive heard this all of my life, Ive heard it all of my
life. If we let this happen, then no other highly-successful person, which is what our country needs
it needs a certain thinking. When you look at our trade deals that are so bad, when you look, as an
example, on trade, were going to lose almost $800 billion this year, trade deficit, almost $800 billion.
Our debt has doubled in seven and a half years to almost $20 trillion, under Obama.

No other successful person, after watching this, and no other very successful person will ever again,
ever and who can blame them? Even me, Id say, youre right will ever again run for office. Ive
heard it for years, if youre very successful, you cant run for high office, especially for President. I
said, I dont care, I dont care. Ive done so many deals, Ive done so well. Its a certain mindset that
we need in our country, at least for a period of time. We have to straighten our country out.

I will not lie to you. These false attacks are absolutely hurtful. To be lied about, to be slandered, to be
smeared so publicly, and before your family that you love, is very painful. What is going on is
egregious beyond any words. People that know the story, people that see the story, people that
know the facts, they cant even believe it. Its reprehensible beyond description, its totally corrupt.

But, I also know that its not about me. Its about all of you and its about our country. I know that. I
fully understand that. Thats why I got involved. Its about all of us together as a country. Its a
movement the likes of which we have never in history in this country seen before, never in history.
Even the pundits, even the media that truly dislikes Donald Trump for their own reasons will
admit this is a movement the likes of which people have never seen before.

And its a movement about the veterans who need medical care, the mothers whove lost their
beloved children to terrorism and to crime. Its about the inner cities and the border towns who
desperately need our help. Its about the millions of jobless people in America. Its about the
American workers who cant get jobs because our jobs have left for Mexico and so many other
countries.

This election is about the people being crushed by Obamacare. And its about defeating ISIS and
appointing a Supreme Court and a Supreme Court Justice - it could be four or five who will
defend and protect our Constitution.

This election is also about, so importantly to me, African-American and Hispanic-American people
whose communities have been plunged into crime, poverty and failing schools by the policies of
crooked Hillary Clinton. Believe me, shes crooked. Theyve robbed these citizens of their future and,
if we win, I will give them their hope, their jobs, their education. I will give them their security back.
The inner cities, education is almost worthless, its horrible. Were going to have Common Core
ended. Were going to bring education local.
But, you look at the inner cities and you see bad education, no jobs, no safety. You walk to the
grocery store with your child and you get shot. You walk outside to look and see whats happening
and you get shot. In Chicago, 3,000 people have been shot since Jan. 1. Were not going to let that
happen. Our inner cities are almost at an all-time low, run by the Democrats for sometimes more
than a hundred years, chain unbroken.

So they have no jobs. They have horrible education. They have no safety or security and I say to the
African-American community, what the hell do you have to lose? I will fix it. I will fix it. I will make it
good. Ill bring back our jobs.

Well have good education. Well have great safety in the inner city. And we will help the Hispanic-
American people, who have been treated so badly and so unfairly in our nation, we will help them.

I will deliver like youve never seen before. I deliver. Whether people like Donald Trump or not, they
all say he delivers. Vote for Donald Trump. Youre going to see something and youll be so happy.
Youll be so thrilled. This election is about every man, woman and child in our country who deserves
to live in safety, prosperity and peace, so true. We will rise above the lies, the smears, the ludicrous
slanders from ludicrous and very, very dishonest reporters.

We will vote for the country we want. We will vote for the future we want. We will vote for the
politics we want and we will vote to put this corrupt government cartel out of business and out of
business immediately.

We will vote for the special interests and say lots of luck, but youre being voted out of power.
Theyve betrayed our workers, theyve betrayed our borders and, most of all, theyve betrayed our
freedoms. We will save our sovereign rights as a nation. We will end the politics of profit. We will end
the rule of special interests. We will end the raiding of our jobs by other countries. We will end the
total disenfranchisement of the American voter and the American worker. Our Independence Day is
at hand, and it arrives finally on Nov. 8.

Join me in taking back our country and creating a bright, glorious, and prosperous new future for our
people. We will make America great again, and it will happen quickly.

God bless you. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you.

Green Bay, Wisconsin

Thank you. It is great to be with you this afternoon. Today we begin a conversation about how to
Make America Safe Again.
In the 20th Century, the United States defeated Fascism, Nazism, and Communism. Now, a
different threat challenges our world: Radical Islamic Terrorism. This summer, there has been an
ISIS attack launched outside the war zones of the Middle East every 84 hours. Here, in America,
we have seen one brutal attack after another. 13 were murdered, and 38 wounded, in the assault
on Ft. Hood. The Boston Marathon Bombing wounded and maimed 264 people, and ultimately
left five dead including 2 police officers.

In Chattanooga, Tennessee, five unarmed marines were shot and killed at a military recruiting
center. Last December, 14 innocent Americans were gunned down at an office party in San
Bernardino, another 22 were injured. In June, 49 Americans were executed at the Pulse Nightclub
in Orlando, and another 53 were injured. It was the worst mass shooting in our history, and the
worst attack on the LGTBQ community in our history.

In Europe, we have seen the same carnage and bloodshed inflicted upon our closest allies. In
January of 2015, a French satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, was attacked for publishing
cartoons of the prophet Mohammed. Twelve were killed, including two police officers, and 11
were wounded. Two days later, four were murdered in a Jewish Deli.

In November of 2015, terrorists went on a shooting rampage in Paris that slaughtered 130 people,
and wounded another 368. France is suffering gravely, and the tourism industry is being
massively affected in a most negative way.

In March of this year, terrorists detonated a bomb in the Brussels airport, killing 32 and injuring
340. This July, in the South of France, an Islamic terrorist turned his truck into an instrument of
mass murder, plowing down and killing 85 men, women and children and wounding another
308. Among the dead were 2 Americans a Texas father, and his 11-year-old son.

A few weeks ago, in Germany, a refugee armed with an axe wounded five people in a gruesome
train attack. Only days ago, an ISIS killer invaded a Christian church in Normandy France, forced
an 85-year-old priest to his knees, and slit his throat before his congregation.

Overseas, ISIS has carried out one unthinkable atrocity after another. Children slaughtered, girls
sold into slavery, men and women burned alive.

Crucifixions, beheadings and drownings. Ethnic minorities targeted for mass execution. Holy
sites desecrated. Christians driven from their homes and hunted for extermination. ISIS rounding-
up what it calls the nation of the cross in a campaign of genocide. We cannot let this evil
continue.
Nor can we let the hateful ideology of Radical Islamits oppression of women, gays, children,
and nonbelieversbe allowed to reside or spread within our own countries.

We will defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism, just as we have defeated every threat we have faced in
every age before. But we will not defeat it with closed eyes, or silenced voices.

Anyone who cannot name our enemy, is not fit to lead this country. Anyone who cannot condemn
the hatred, oppression and violence of Radical Islam lacks the moral clarity to serve as our
President.

The rise of ISIS is the direct result of policy decisions made by President Obama and Secretary
Clinton.

Lets look back at the Middle East at the very beginning of 2009, before the Obama-Clinton
Administration took over. Libya was stable. Syria was under control. Egypt was ruled by a
secular President and an ally of the United States. Iraq was experiencing a reduction in violence.
The group that would become what we now call ISIS was close to being extinguished. Iran was
being choked off by economic sanctions.

Fast-forward to today. What have the decisions of Obama-Clinton produced?

Libya is in ruins, our ambassador and three other brave Americans are dead, and ISIS has gained
a new base of operations. Syria is in the midst of a disastrous civil war. ISIS controls large
portions of territory. A refugee crisis now threatens Europe and the United States.

In Egypt, terrorists have gained a foothold in the Sinai desert, near the Suez Canal, one of the
most essential waterways in the world. Iraq is in chaos, and ISIS is on the loose. ISIS has spread
across the Middle East, and into the West. In 2014, ISIS was operating in some 7 nations. Today
they are fully operational in 18 countries with aspiring branches in 6 more, for a total of 24 and
many believe it is even more than that. The situation is likely worse than the public knows: a new
Congressional report reveals that the Administration has downplayed the growth of ISIS, with
40% of analysts saying they had experienced efforts to manipulate their findings.

At the same time, ISIS is trying to infiltrate refugee flows into Europeand the United States.

Iran, the worlds largest state sponsor of terrorism, is now flush with $150 billion in cash released
by the United States plus another $400 million in ransom. Worst of all, the Nuclear deal puts
Iran, the number one state sponsor of Radical Islamic Terrorism, on a path to nuclear weapons.
In short, the Obama-Clinton foreign policy has unleashed ISIS, destabilized the Middle East, and
put the nation of Iranwhich chants Death to Americain a dominant position of regional
power and, in fact, aspiring to be a dominant world power.

It all began in 2009 with what has become known as President Obamas global Apology Tour.
In a series of speeches, President Obama described America as arrogant, dismissive
derisive and a colonial power. He informed other countries that he would be speaking up
about Americas past errors. He pledged that we would no longer be a senior partner, that
sought to dictate our terms. He lectured CIA officers of the need to acknowledge their mistakes,
and described Guantanamo Bay as a rallying cry for our enemies.

Perhaps no speech was more misguided than President Obamas speech to the Muslim World
delivered in Cairo, Egypt, in 2009.

In winning the Cold War, President Ronald Reagan repeatedly touted the superiority of freedom
over communism, and called the USSR the Evil Empire.

Yet, when President Obama delivered his address in Cairo, no such moral courage could be
found. Instead of condemning the oppression of women and gays in many Muslim nations, and
the systematic violations of human rights, or the financing of global terrorism, President Obama
tried to draw an equivalency between our human rights record and theirs.

His nave words were followed by even more nave actions.

The failure to establish a new Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq, and the election-driven
timetable for withdrawal, surrendered our gains in that country and led directly to the rise of ISIS.
The failures in Iraq were compounded by Hillary Clintons disaster in Libya. President Obama
has since said he regards Libya as his worst mistake. According to then-Secretary of Defense
Robert Gates, the invasion of Libya was nearly a split decision, but Hillary Clintons forceful
advocacy for the intervention was the deciding factor.

With one episode of bad judgment after another, Hillary Clintons policies launched ISIS onto the
world. Yet, as she threw the Middle East into violent turmoil, things turned out well for her. The
Clintons made almost $60 million in gross income while she was Secretary of State.

Incident after incident proves again and again: Hillary Clinton lacks the judgement, the
temperament and the moral character to lead this nation. Importantly, she also lacks the mental
and physical stamina to take on ISIS, and all the many adversaries we face not only in
terrorism, but in trade and every other challenge we must confront to turn this country around.
It is time for a new approach.

Our current strategy of nation-building and regime change is a proven failure. We have created
the vacuums that allow terrorists to grow and thrive.

I was an opponent of the Iraq war from the beginninga major difference between me and my
opponent. Though I was a private citizen, whose personal opinions on such matters was not
sought, I nonetheless publicly expressed my private doubts about the invasion. Three months
before the invasion I said, in an interview with Neil Cavuto, to whom I offer my best wishes for a
speedy recovery, that perhaps [we] shouldnt be doing it yet, and that the economy is a much
bigger problem.

In August of 2004, very early in the conflict, I made a detailed statement to Esquire magazine.
Here is the quote in full:

Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that were in. I would never have handled it that way. Does
anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to
run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step
up to lead the country? Cmon. Two minutes after we leave, theres going to be a revolution, and
the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And hell have weapons of mass
destruction, which Saddam didnt have.

What was the purpose of this whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And
what about the people coming back with no arms and legs? Not to mention the other side. All
those Iraqi kids whove been blown to pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war
were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing.

So I have been clear for a long time that we should not have gone in. But I have been just as clear
in saying what a catastrophic mistake Hillary Clinton and President Obama made with the
reckless way in which they pulled out.

After we had made those hard-fought sacrifices and gains, we should never have made such a
sudden withdrawalon a timetable advertised to our enemies. Al Qaeda in Iraq had been
decimated, and Obama and Clinton gave it new life and allowed it to spread across the world.

By that same token, President Obama and Hillary Clinton should never have attempted to build a
Democracy in Libya, to push for immediate regime change in Syria or to support the overthrow
of Mubarak in Egypt.
One more point on this: I have long said that we should have kept the oil in Iraqanother area
where my judgement has been proven correct. According to CNN, ISIS made as much $500
million in oil sales in 2014 alone, fueling and funding its reign of terror. If we had controlled the
oil, we could have prevented the rise of ISIS in Iraqboth by cutting off a major source of
funding, and through the presence of U.S. forces necessary to safeguard the oil and other vital
infrastructure. I was saying this constantly and to whoever would listen: keep the oil, keep the oil,
keep the oil, I saiddont let someone else get it.

If they had listened to me then, we would have had the economic benefits of the oil, which I
wanted to use to help take care of the wounded soldiers and families of those who diedand
thousands of lives would have been saved. This proposal, by its very nature, would have left
soldiers in place to guard our assets. In the old days, when we won a war, to the victor belonged
the spoils. Instead, all we got from Iraq and our adventures in the Middle Eastwas death,
destruction and tremendous financial loss.

But it is time to put the mistakes of the past behind us, and chart a new course.

If I become President, the era of nation-building will be ended. Our new approach, which must be
shared by both parties in America, by our allies overseas, and by our friends in the Middle East,
must be to halt the spread of Radical Islam. All actions should be oriented around this goal, and
any country which shares this goal will be our ally. We cannot always choose our friends, but we
can never fail to recognize our enemies.

As President, I will call for an international conference focused on this goal. We will work side-
by-side with our friends in the Middle East, including our greatest ally, Israel. We will partner
with King Abdullah of Jordan, and President Sisi of Egypt, and all others who recognize this
ideology of death that must be extinguished.

We will also work closely with NATO on this new mission. I had previously said that NATO was
obsolete because it failed to deal adequately with terrorism; since my comments they have
changed their policy and now have a new division focused on terror threats.

I also believe that we could find common ground with Russia in the fight against ISIS. They too
have much at stake in the outcome in Syria, and have had their own battles with Islamic
terrorism.

My Administration will aggressively pursue joint and coalition military operations to crush and
destroy ISIS, international cooperation to cutoff their funding, expanded intelligence sharing, and
cyberwarfare to disrupt and disable their propaganda and recruiting. We cannot allow the internet
to be used as a recruiting tool, and for other purposes, by our enemywe must shut down their
access to this form of communication, and we must do so immediately.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, who has risked so many lives with her careless handling of sensitive
information, my Administration will not telegraph exact military plans to the enemy. I have often
said that General MacArthur and General Patton would be in a state of shock if they were alive
today to see the way President Obama and Hillary Clinton try to recklessly announce their every
move before it happenslike they did in Iraqso that the enemy can prepare and adapt.

The fight will not be limited to ISIS. We will decimate Al Qaeda, and we will seek to starve
funding for Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah. We can use existing UN Security Council
resolutions to apply new sanctions.

Military, cyber and financial warfare will all be essential in dismantling Islamic terrorism. But we
must use ideological warfare as well.

Just as we won the Cold War, in part, by exposing the evils of communism and the virtues of free
markets, so too must we take on the ideology of Radical Islam.

While my opponent accepted millions of dollars in Foundation donations from countries where
being gay is an offense punishable by prison or death, my Administration will speak out against
the oppression of women, gays and people of different faith.

Our Administration will be a friend to all moderate Muslim reformers in the Middle East, and will
amplify their voices. This includes speaking out against the horrible practice of honor killings,
where women are murdered by their relatives for dressing, marrying or acting in a way that
violates fundamentalist teachings.

Over 1,000 Pakistani girls are estimated to be the victims of honor killings by their relatives each
year. Recently, a prominent Pakistani social media star was strangled to death by her brother on
the charge of dishonoring the family. In his confession, the brother took pride in the murder and
said: Girls are born to stay home and follow traditions.

Shockingly, this is a practice that has reached our own shores. One such case involves an Iraqi
immigrant who was sentenced to 34 years in jail for running over his own daughter claiming she
had become too Westernized.
To defeat Islamic terrorism, we must also speak out forcefully against a hateful ideology that
provides the breeding ground for violence and terrorism to grow.

A new immigration policy is needed as well.

The common thread linking the major Islamic terrorist attacks that have recently occurred on our
soil 9/11, the Ft. Hood shooting, the Boston Bombing, the San Bernardino attack, the Orlando
attackis that they have involved immigrants or the children of immigrants. Clearly, new
screening procedures are needed.

A review by the U.S. Senate Immigration Subcommittee has identified 380 foreign-born
individuals charged with terrorism or terrorismrelated offenses between 9/11 and 2014, and many
more since then.

We also know that ISIS recruits refugees after their entrance into the country as we have seen
with the Somali refugee population in Minnesota.

Beyond terrorism, as we have seen in France, foreign populations have brought their anti-Semitic
attitudes with them.

Pew polling shows that in many of the countries from which we draw large numbers of
immigrants, extreme views about religionsuch as the death penalty for those who leave the
faithare commonplace.

A Trump Administration will establish a clear principle that will govern all decisions pertaining to
immigration: we should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our
people.

In the Cold War, we had an ideological screening test. The time is overdue to develop a new
screening test for the threats we face today.

In addition to screening out all members or sympathizers of terrorist groups, we must also screen
out any who have hostile attitudes towards our country or its principles or who believe that
Sharia law should supplant American law.

Those who do not believe in our Constitution, or who support bigotry and hatred, will not be
admitted for immigration into the country.

Only those who we expect to flourish in our countryand to embrace a tolerant American society
should be issued visas.
To put these new procedures in place, we will have to temporarily suspend immigration from
some of the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world that have a history of exporting
terrorism.

As soon as I take office, I will ask the State Department and the Department of Homeland
Security to identify a list of regions where adequate screening cannot take place. We will stop
processing visas from those areas until such time as it is deemed safe to resume based on new
circumstances or new procedures.

The size of current immigration flows are simply too large to perform adequate screening. We
admit about 100,000 permanent immigrants from the Middle East every year. Beyond that, we
admit hundreds of thousands of temporary workers and visitors from the same regions. If we
dont control the numbers, we cant perform adequate screening.

By contrast, my opponent wants to increase the flow of Syrian refugees by 550% percent. The
United States Senate Subcommittee on Immigration estimates that Hillary Clintons plan would
mean roughly 620,000 refugees from all current refugee-sending nations in her first term,
assuming no cuts to other refugee programs. This would be additional to all other nonrefugee
immigration.

The Subcommittee estimates her plan would impose a lifetime cost of roughly $400 billion when
you include the costs of healthcare, welfare, housing, schooling, and all other entitlement benefits
that are excluded from the State Departments placement figures.

In short, Hillary Clinton wants to be Americas Angela Merkel, and you know what a disaster this
massive immigration has been to Germany and the people of Germanycrime has risen to levels
that no one thought would they would ever see. We have enough problems in our country, we
dont need another one.

Finally, we will need to restore common sense to our security procedures.

Another common feature of the past attacks that have occurred on our soil is that warning signs
were ignored. The 9/11 hijackers had fraud all over their visa applications. The Russians warned
us about the Boston Bombers, here on political asylum, and the attackers were even twice
interviewed by the FBI. The female San Bernardino shooter, here on a fianc visa from Saudi
Arabia, wrote of her support for Jihad online. A neighbor saw suspicious behavior but didnt warn
authorities, because said they didnt want to be accused of racially profiling-now many are
dead and gravely wounded.
The shooter in Orlando reportedly celebrated in his classroom after 9/11. He too was interviewed
by the FBI. His father, a native of Afghanistan, supported the oppressive Taliban regime, and
expressed anti-American viewsand by the way, was just seen sitting behind Hillary Clinton
with a big smile on his face all the way through her speech. He obviously liked what she had to
say.

The Ft. Hood Shooter delivered a presentation to a room full of mental health experts before the
attacks in which he threw out one red flag after another. He even proclaimed that we love death
more than you love life!

These warnings signs were ignored because political correctness has replaced common sense in
our society. That is why one of my first acts as President will be to establish a Commission on
Radical Islamwhich will include reformist voices in the Muslim community who will hopefully
work with us. We want to build bridges and erase divisions.

The goal of the commission will be to identify and explain to the American public the core
convictions and beliefs of Radical Islam, to identify the warning signs of radicalization, and to
expose the networks in our society that support radicalization. This commission will be used to
develop new protocols for local police officers, federal investigators, and immigration screeners.

We will also keep open Guantanamo Bay, and place a renewed emphasis on human intelligence.
Drone strikes will remain part of our strategy, but we will also seek to capture high-value targets
to gain needed information to dismantle their organizations. Foreign combatants will be tried in
military commissions.

Finally, we will pursue aggressive criminal or immigration charges against anyone who lends
material support to terrorism. Similar to the effort to take down the mafia, this will be the
understood mission of every federal investigator and prosecutor in the country.

To accomplish a goal, you must state a mission: the support networks for Radical Islam in this
country will be stripped out and removed one by one.

Immigration officers will also have their powers restored: those who are guests in our country
that are preaching hate will be asked to return home.

To Make America Safe Again, We Must Work Together Again.

Our victory in the Cold War relied on a bipartisan and international consensus. That is what we
must have to defeat Radical Islamic terrorism.
But just like we couldnt defeat communism without acknowledging that communism existsor
explaining its evilswe cant defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism unless we do the same.

This also means we have to promote the exceptional virtues of our own way of lifeand
expecting that newcomers to our society do the same.

Pride in our institutions, our history and our values should be taught by parents and teachers, and
impressed upon all who join our society.

Assimilation is not an act of hostility, but an expression of compassion. Our system of

government, and our American culture, is the best in the world and will produce the best
outcomes for all who adopt it. This approach will not only make us safer, but bring us closer
together as a country.

Renewing this spirit of Americanism will help heal the divisions in our country. It will do so by
emphasizing what we have in commonnot what pulls us apart.

This is my pledge to the American people: as your President I will be your greatest champion. I
will fight to ensure that every American is treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally.
We will reject bigotry and oppression in all its forms, and seek a new future built on our common
culture and values as one American people.

Only this way, will we make America Great Again and Safe Again For Everyone.

Thank you.

West End, Wisconsin

Its so great to be here tonight. I am honored to also be joined this evening by Governor Scott
Walker, Chairman Reince Priebus, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

We are at a decisive moment in this election.

Last week, I laid out my plan to bring jobs back to our country. Yesterday, I laid out my plan to
defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism. Tonight, I am going to talk about how to make our communities
safe again from crime and lawlessness.
Let me begin by thanking the law enforcement officers here in this city, and across this country,
for their service and sacrifice in difficult times.

The violence, riots and destruction that have taken place in Milwaukee is an assault on the right
of all citizens to live in security and peace. Law and order must be restored. It must be restored
for the sake of all, but most especially the sake of those living in the affected communities.

The main victims of these riots are law-abiding African-American citizens living in these
neighborhoods. It is their jobs, their homes, their schools and communities which will suffer as a
result.

There is no compassion in tolerating lawless conduct. Crime and violence is an attack on the
poor, and will never be accepted in a Trump Administration.

The narrative that has been pushed aggressively for years now by our current Administration, and
pushed by my opponent Hillary Clinton, is a false one. The problem in our poorest communities
is not that there are too many police, the problem is that there are not enough police. More law
enforcement, more community engagement, more effective policing is what our country needs.

Just like Hillary Clinton is against the miners, she is against the police. You know it, and I know
it.

Those peddling the narrative of cops as a racist force in our societya narrative supported with a
nod by my opponentshare directly in the responsibility for the unrest in Milwaukee, and many
other places within our country. They have fostered the dangerous anti-police atmosphere in
America.

Everytime we rush to judgment with false facts and narrativeswhether in Ferguson or in

Baltimoreand foment further unrest, we do a direct disservice to poor African-American
residents who are hurt by the high crime in their communities.

During the last 72 hours, while protestors have raged against the police here in Milwaukee,
another 9 were killed in Chicago and another 46 were wounded. More than 2,600 people have
been shot in Chicago since the beginning of the year, and almost 4,000 killed in President
Obamas hometown area since his presidency began.

How are we serving these American victims by attacking law enforcement officers? The war on
our police must end. It must end now.
The war on our police is a war on all peaceful citizens who want to be able to work and live and
send their kids to school in safety. Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the
looter, the violent disruptor. Our job is to make life more comfortable for the African-American
parent who wants their kids to be able to safely walk the streets. Or the senior citizen waiting for
a bus. Or the young child walking home from school.

For every one violent protestor, there are a hundred moms and dads and kids on that same city
block who just want to be able to sleep safely at night. My opponent would rather protect the
offender than the victim.

Hillary Clinton-backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today, and a
vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime, and lost opportunities.

I care too much about my country to let that happen. We all care too much about our country to
let that happen.

Good policing saves lives. My dear friend, Rudy Giuliani, knows a thing or two about this. The
policies put into place by Rudy ultimately brought down crime by 76 percent and murder by 84
percent. Think of how many families were saved, how much heartache was prevented, when
police were put into communities and criminals were removed.

Imagine how many lives could have been saved, all across this country, if Democratic politicians
hadnt blocked in their cities what Rudy did in New York City? Ill make sure we deliver safe
neighborhoods here in Milwaukee, and all across this country.

Its easy for Hillary Clinton to turn a blind eye to crime when she has her own private security
force. I believe all Americans, not just the powerful, are entitled to security. Hillary Clinton has
had her chance. She failed. Now its time for new leadership.

The Hillary Clinton agenda hurts poor people the most. There is no compassion in allowing drug
dealers, gang members, and felons to prey on innocent people. It is the first duty of government
to keep the innocent safe, and when I am President I will fight for the safety of every American
and especially those Americans who have not known safety for a very, very long time.

I am asking for the vote of every African-American citizen struggling in our country today who
wants a different future.

It is time for our society to address some honest and very difficult truths.
The Democratic Party has failed and betrayed the African-American community. Democratic
crime policies, education policies, and economic policies have produced only more crime, more
broken homes, and more poverty. Let us look at the situation right here in Milwaukee, a city run
by Democrats for decade after decade. Last year, killings in this city increased by 69 percent, plus
another 634 victims of non-fatal shootings. 18-29-year-olds accounted for nearly half of the
homicide victims. The poverty rate here is nearly double the national average. Almost 4 in 10
African-American men in Milwaukee between the ages of 25-54 do not have a job. Nearly four in
10 single mother households are living in poverty. 55 public schools in this city have been rated
as failing to meet expectations, despite ten thousand dollars in funding per-pupil. There is only a
60% graduation rate, and its one of the worst public school systems in the country.

1 in 5 manufacturing jobs has disappeared in Milwaukee since we fully opened our markets to
China, and many African-American neighborhoods have borne the brunt of this hit.

To every voter in Milwaukee, to every voter living in every inner city, or every forgotten stretch
of our society, I am running to offer you a better future.

The Democratic Party has taken the votes of African-Americans for granted. Theyve just
assumed theyll get your support and done nothing in return for it. Its time to give the Democrats
some competition for these votes, and its time to rebuild the inner cities of Americaand to
reject the failed leadership of a rigged political system.

Im not part of the corrupt system. In fact, the corrupt system is trying to stop me. Ive been
paying my own way. The voters in the Republican Party this year defied the donors, the
consultants, the power brokers, and choose a nominee from outside our failed and corrupt and
broken system.

The other partythe Democratic Partynominated the personification of special interest

corruption. The Democratic Party rigged the nomination to give it to Hillary Clinton, thus giving
the soul of their party this year to the special interests.

I am running to listen to your voice, to hear your cries for help. The quiet voices in our society,
not the loudest demonstrators, need to have their demands heard.

Jobs. Safety. Opportunity. Fair and equal representation.

We reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton which panders to and talks down to communities of color
and sees them only as votes, not as individual human beings worthy of a better future. She
doesnt care at all about the hurting people of this country, or the suffering she has caused them.
The African-American community has been taken for granted for decades by the Democratic
Party. Its time to break with the failures of the pastI want to offer Americans a new future.

It is time for rule by the people, not rule by special interests.

Every insider, getting rich off of our broken system, is throwing money at Hillary Clinton. The
hedge fund managers, the Wall Street investors, the professional political class. Its the powerful
protecting the powerful. Insiders fighting for insiders.

I am fighting for you.

When we talk about the insider, who are we talking about? Its the comfortable politicians
looking out for their own interests. Its the lobbyists who know how to insert that perfect loophole
into every bill. Its the financial industry that knows how to regulate their competition out of
existence. The insiders also include the media executives, anchors and journalists in Washington,
Los Angeles, and New York City, who are part of the same failed status quo and want nothing to
change.

Every day you pick up a newspaper, or turn on the nightly news, and you hear about some self-
interest banker or some discredited Washington insider says they oppose our campaign. Or some
encrusted old politician says they oppose our campaign. Or some big time lobbyist says they
oppose our campaign.

I wear their opposition as a badge of honor. Because it means I am fighting for REAL change, not
just partisan change. I am fightingall of us across the country are fightingfor peaceful regime
change in our own country. The media-donor-political complex thats bled this country dry has to
be replaced with a new government of, by and for the people.

The leadership class in Washington D.C., of which Hillary Clinton has been a member for thirty
years, has abandoned the people of this country. I am going to give the people their voice back.

Think about it. The people opposing our campaign are the same people who have left our border
open and let innocent people suffer as a result. The people opposing our campaign are the same
people who have led us into one disastrous foreign war after another. The people opposing our
campaign are the same people who lied to us about one trade deal after another.

Arent you tired of a system that gets rich at your expense? Arent you tired of big media, big
businesses, and big donors rigging the system to keep your voice from being heard? Are you
ready for change?
Are you ready for leadership that puts you, the American people, first? That puts your country
first? That puts your family first?

Lets talk about what this means for the inner cities of America. Its time to break through the
television noise, the entrenched interests. I understand that a lot of powerful people in our
political system a lot of people whove created our problemswill lose a lot of their contracts,
and their special gigs, if African-American voters, and all minority voters, support my campaign.

Its time to stop making the special interests rich. Its time to make the American people rich.

I am going to Make America Wealthy Again.

The Democratic Party has run nearly every inner city in this country for 50 years, and run them
into financial ruin. Theyve ruined the schools. Theyve driven out the jobs. Theyve tolerated a
level of crime no American should consider acceptable.

Violent crime has risen 17% in Americas 50 largest cities last year. Killings of police officers this
year is up nearly percent. Homicides are up more than 60% in Baltimore. They are up more than
50% in Washington, D.C. This is the future offered by Hillary Clinton. More poverty, more crime,
and more of the same. The future she offers is the most pessimistic thing I can possibly imagine.

It is time for a different future.

Here is what I am proposing.

First, on immigration. No community in this country has been hurt worse by Hillary Clintons
immigration policies than the African-American community. Now she is proposing to print
instant work permits for millions of illegal immigrants, taking jobs directly from low-income
Americans. I will secure our border, protect our workers, and improve jobs and wages in your
community. We will only invite people to join our country who share our tolerant values, who
support our Constitution, andwho love all of our people.

On trade, I am going to renegotiate NAFTA, stand up to China, withdraw from the TPP, and
protect every last American job.

On taxes, I am going to give a massive tax cut to every worker and small business in this country,
bring thousands of new companies and millions of new jobs onto our shores and make it very
difficult for our businesses to leave. I am going to reform our regulations so jobs stay in America,
and new businesses come to America to hire workers right here in Milwaukee. Every policy my
opponent has sends jobs overseas. I am going to bring trillions in new wealth back to the United
States.

On education, it is time to have school choice, merit pay for teachers, and to end the tenure
policies that hurt good teachers and reward bad teachers. We are going to put students and parents
first.

Hillary Clinton would rather deny opportunities to millions of young African-American children,
just so she can curry favor with the education bureaucracy.

I am going to allow charter schools to thrive, and help young kids get on the American ladder of
success: a good education, and a good-paying job.

On crime, I am going to support more police in our communities, appoint the best prosecutors
and judges in the country, pursue strong enforcement of federal laws, and I am going to break up
the gangs, the cartels and criminal syndicates terrorizing our neighborhoods. To every lawbreaker
hurting innocent people in this country, I say: your free reign will soon come crashing to an end.

On healthcare, we are going to get rid of Obamacarewhich has caused soaring double-digit
premium increasesand give choice to patients and consumers. Aetna, just today, announced
they are dropping outas are many of the major insurance companies.

On government corruption, I am going to restore honor to our government. Weve seen the
corruption of Hillary Clinton, the mass email deletions, the pay-for-play at the State Department,
the profiteering, the favors given to foreign corporations and governments at your expense.
Weve seen a former Secretary of State lie to Congress about her illegal email scheme, risk
innocent American lives, and bring dishonor onto our government.

In my Administration, I am going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified

information. No one will be above the law.

I am going to forbid senior officials from trading favors for cash by preventing them from
collecting lavish speaking fees through their spouses when they serve.

I am going to ask my senior officials to sign an agreement not to accept speaking fees from
corporations with a registered lobbyist for five years after leaving office, or from any entity tied
to a foreign government. This is all just the beginning.

We are going to make this a government of the people once again. This is our chance to take back
power from all the people whove taken it from you. The reason you see the establishment media
lining up behind my opponent is because they are scared that you, with your vote, can take away
their power and return it to your family and community.

These are tough times. But I know we can make American Greater Than Ever Before.

To do this, we are going to need a fighter in the White House.

I will be your fighter.

To defeat crime and Radical Islamic Terrorism in our country, to win trade in our country, you
need tremendous physical and mental strength and stamina. Hillary Clinton doesnt have that
strength and stamina. She cannot win for you.

Most importantly, she has bad judgment. Bad judgment on terrorism, bad judgement on foreign
policy, bad judgment on trade.

The only individuals shes ever delivered for is her donorsnot the people.

Ive said it before, and Ill say it again. My opponent asks her supporters to repeat a three-word
pledge. Her pledge reads: Im With Her

I choose to recite a different pledge. My pledge reads: Im With Youthe American people.

I will fight to ensure that every American is treated equally, protected equally, and honored
equally. We will reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all of its forms, and seek a new future
of security, prosperity and opportunitya future built on our common culture and values as one
American people.

I am asking for your vote so I can be your champion in the White House. We will once again be a
country of law and order, and a country of great success.

To every parent who dreams for their children, and to every child who dreams for their future, I
say these words to you tonight: Im with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make American Safe Again.

And We Will Make America Great Again.

Thank you, and God Bless.

Tampa, Florida

hank you. I am so thrilled to be in Tampa today. Florida is my second home.

This is such an amazing state, and filled with so many incredible people.

For the next 75 days, we are all going to have to work hard together to win the White House on
November 8th.

Our victory on November 8th will be a victory for the people.

It wont be a victory for the pundits, the special interests, the failed politicians. It will be a victory for
YOU for your family, for your country.

It will be a victory for jobs. For security. For prosperity.

It will be a victory for American Independence.

We will reject the failures of the past and create a New American Future where every child African-
American, Hispanic, and all children can live out their dreams.

We will bring back our jobs.

Rebuild our depleted military.

Take care of our Veterans.

Unleash American energy.

Restore law and order.

And will make government honest once again.

The stakes in this election could not be higher.

Hillary Clinton wants to raise taxes and send jobs to other countries. We are going to cut taxes
dramatically, and bring thousands of new companies and millions of new jobs to our shores.

Hillary Clinton wants to pass more terrible trade deals, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership. We are
going to stop the TPP, renegotiate NAFTA, and protect every last American job.

Hillary Clinton wants to expand the job-killing regulations destroying small business in America. We
are going to cancel every needless job-killing regulation, and put a moratorium on new regulations
until our economy gets back on its feet. We will create great numbers of American jobs.

Hillary Clinton wants to put the miners and the steel workers out of work. We are going to lift
restrictions on all American energy, and we are going to stand up to foreign cheating that threatens
steel production in America.

Hillary Clinton wants to expand job-killing Obamacare and put government in charge of healthcare.
We are going to repeal and replace Obamacare, and create choice and competition that puts patients
first.

Hillary Clinton wants to trap children in failing schools. I want school choice, charter schools, and
merit-pay for teachers. We are going to put our kids on the ladder of success: a good education, and
a good-paying job.

This is so important in our inner cities. Nearly 4 in 10 African-American children are in poverty. 58%
of African-American youth are not employed. More than 2,700 have been shot in Chicago since the
beginning of this year. Violent crime is up nearly 50% in Washington, D.C. and more than 60% in
Baltimore.

The Democratic Party has run nearly every inner city in this country for fifty or sixty years or more.
Theyve produced only more poverty, crime, joblessness and broken homes.

To those suffering and hurting and left behind, I say: Vote for Donald J. Trump. What do you have to
lose by trying something new? Let me also tell you what you have to gain: more jobs, more security,
higher wages, and a prosperous community.
I am asking for the honor of your vote so I can fight for you.

Hispanic citizens have been suffering under this President too.

Since President Obama came into office, another 2 million Latinos have joined the ranks of those in
poverty. Incomes for Latino households have declined by nearly $1,000 under President Obama. The
number of Latino children living in poverty increased by 15 percent.

I am going to fight to give every Hispanic citizen in this country a better future.

Part of that better future means securing our border to protect the jobs of all people living here
today African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, all Americans.

Hillary Clinton wants a totally open border. We are going to enforce our laws, remove people who
overstay their visas, dismantle the gangs and cartels, and protect jobs and benefits for hardworking
American citizens.

That includes protecting the jobs and wages of Hispanic citizens living right here in Florida. They
deserve to have their jobs protected from illegal immigration and broken visa programs.

All Americans from all backgrounds have a right to have their jobs protected in their own country.

Hillary Clinton would rather give a job to an illegal immigrant than to an unemployed Hispanic citizen
or to a Veteran.

Its going to be America First from now on.

At the core of our America First agenda are three words: jobs, jobs, jobs.

Thats why, at the center of my economic plan, is a tax cut for small businesses down to fifteen
percent from 35 percent. Jobs will pour into our country, and new ones will be created across the
nation.
There are over 600,000 Hispanic-owned businesses here in Florida. Hillary Clintons plan would
smother them with regulations, drive up their electricity bills, and then raise their taxes to as much
as almost fifty percent. Family-owned businesses would take a second hit with a 45 percent death tax
killing more jobs and more community businesses here in Florida.

A Trump Administration will be a true friend to small businesses and working Americans. That means
bringing down taxes, bringing down the price of energy, and bringing down job-killing regulations
that cost our economy as much as $2 trillion a year.

We are also going to dramatically simplify our tax code. Our current tax code is so burdensome and
complex that we waste 9 billion hours a year in tax code compliance.

That will end under a Trump Administration.

Hillary Clinton wants to make taxes even more complicated, and will raise taxes $1.3 trillion dollars.

Her anti-energy regulations, will be a tax hike on the poor.

According to the Heritage Foundation, by 2030, the Obama-Clinton energy restrictions will eliminate
another half a million manufacturing jobs, reduce economic output by $2.5 trillion dollars, and
reduce incomes by $7,000 dollars per person.

Right now as a country we have no growth.

A Trump Administration will end this war on the American worker, and unleash an energy revolution
that will bring vast new wealth to our country.

According to the Institute for Energy Research, lifting the restrictions on all sources of American
energy will:

Increase GDP by more than $100 billion dollars annually, add over 500,000 new jobs annually, and
increase annual wages by more than $30 billion dollars over the next 7 years;

Increase federal, state, and local tax revenues by almost $6 trillion dollars over 4 decades;

Increase totaleconomic activity by more than $20 trillion dollars over the next 40 years.

My energy plan will help put trillions of dollars back into our economy.
Lets talk about trade too.

Florida has lost 1 in 4 manufacturing jobs since Bill Clinton signed NAFTA a Hillary-Clinton backed
deal.

Florida lost 1 in 5 of its manufacturing jobs since Bill Clinton put China into the World Trade
Organization another Hillary Clinton backed deal.

Our trade deficit with the world is now nearly $800 billion dollars a year.

Like Bernie Sanders said, she has terrible judgement.

The good news is, if we win on November 8th, these jobs are coming back.

Here are 7 steps to bring back our jobs, and creating millions of new jobs:

One: I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which has not yet
been ratified.

Two: I am going to appoint the toughest and smartest trade negotiators to fight on behalf of
American workers.

Three: I am going to direct the Secretary of Commerce to identify every violation of trade
agreements that a foreign country is currently using to harm our workers. I will then direct all
appropriate agencies to use every tool under American and international law to end these abuses.

Four: I am going tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the terms of that
agreement to get a better deal for our workers. If we dont get the deal we want, we will walk away.

Five: I am going to instruct my Treasury Secretary to label China a currency manipulator. Any country
that devalues their currency in order to take unfair advantage of the United States will face tariffs to
stop the cheating.
Six: I am going to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to bring trade cases against China, both in
this country and at the WTO. Chinas unfair subsidy behavior is prohibited by the terms of its
entrance to the WTO, and I intend to enforce those rules.

Seven: If China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of American trade secrets, I will
use every lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs
consistent with federal law.

If we take these steps, jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.

We can use the new money to rebuild our roads, bridges and airports.

Manufacturing is also a matter of national security. We need to build, produce and create right here
in America.

Let me tell you a few more things we are going to do.

We are going to end the government corruption. Hillary Clinton ran the State Department like a
failed leader in a Third World Country. She sold favors and access in exchange for cash. As the AP
documented, more than half of the people she met with outside government as Secretary of State
were Clinton Foundation donors she even deleted 33,000 emails to hide the evidence of her crime.

Its impossible to tell where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins.

Then she lied about her crime to Congress over and over again.

Bill Clinton essentially called the FBI Director James Comey a liar, when he said the FBI director
was spouting bull. They dont realize that they owe the FBI Director their political lives for refusing
to recommend a prosecution for Hillary Clintons many crimes.

He saved Hillary Clinton from facing justice for her illegal and corrupt actions.

Remember: Bill Clinton was impeached for lying and obstructing justice, and also had to give up his
law license.
Hillary Clinton created an illegal private email server deliberately, willfully, and with premeditation.
She did so to cover-up a vast pay-for-play scheme. Her actions made our enemies vulnerable to
foreign hacking, and betrayed the security and safety of the United States. Her actions are criminal,
purposeful and calculated.

Thats why Ive called for a special prosecutor.

But with the Administration rigging the system to protect her vast criminal behavior, the real jury is
going to be the American voter.

Hillary Clinton thinks she is above the law. Come November, the American people are going to prove
that she is not.

We are going to restore ethics and honesty to our government.

We are also going to restore safety to our country.

Hillary Clinton wants a 550% increase in Syrian refugees. Overall, her plan would bring in 620,000
refugees from all refugee-sending countries in her first term. This at the same time as Lone Wolf
attacks, and Islamic terror strikes, are happening all over.

I am going to suspend immigration wherever effective screening cannot take place and I am going
to institute a new ideological screening program to keep out people who dont share our values.

Moving forward, we are going to start promoting American values once again.

It is time to put the era of division behind us, and to embrace a New American Future based on our
common values and principles.

I understand that the Wall Street donors, and the Washington insiders, dont want change. They
want things to keep on going exactly as they are.

Thats why they are throwing their money at Hillary Clinton.

Its the powerful protecting the powerful.

Insiders fighting for insiders.

I am fighting for you.

I am the change agent. Hillary Clinton is the defender of the corrupt status quo.

I am asking for your vote so we can create a New American future. This includes:

Millions of new jobs through lower taxes, less regulations and trade deals that put America first.

The appointment of judges who will protect our freedoms and the 2ndamendment.

A new foreign policy that focuses on defeating ISIS not nation-building. Hillary Clintons reckless
policies unleashed ISIS onto the world. She will never have the judgment or the stamina to fix the
problems she created.

It was just announced that the country is less safe today than it was before 9/11.

We are going to defeat terrorism and keep the terrorists out of our country.

Finally, we are going to create a more inclusive society where no American is left behind. We are
going to bring jobs, opportunity and hope to every community in this nation.

Once again, we are going to have a government of, by and for the people.

This is going to be your country, your government, your future.

The rule of special interests is over.

We will bring America together as one country again united as Americans in common purpose and
common dreams.

A thriving economy.

A strong border.

A powerful military.

A peaceful nation.

A rising standard of living.

This is what I promise you.

Lets get out there and win on November 8th.

Together, We Will Make America Wealthy Again

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And We Will Make America Great Again For Each And Every American.

Thank you, and God Bless You!

Detroit, Michigan

Thank you for the invitation to speak to you today. Its wonderful to be in Detroit.
We now begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for America. Its a conversation
about how to Make American Great Again for everyone, and especially those who have the very
least.

Detroit was once the economic envy of the world. The people of Detroit helped power America to its
position of global dominance in the 20th century.

When we were governed by an America First policy, Detroit was booming. Engineers, builders,
laborers, shippers and countless others went to work each day, provided for their families, and lived
out the American Dream.

But for many living in this city, that dream has long ago vanished. When we abandoned the policy of
America First, we started rebuilding other countries instead of our own. The skyscrapers went up in
Beijing, and in many other cities around the world, while the factories and neighborhoods crumbled
in Detroit. Our roads and bridges fell into disrepair, yet we found the money to resettle millions of
refugees at taxpayer expense.

Today, Detroit has a per capita income of under $15,000 dollars, about half of the national average.

40 percent of the citys residents live in poverty, over two-and-half times the national average. The
unemployment rate is more than twice the national average. Half of all Detroit residents do not
work.

Detroit tops the list of Most Dangerous Cities in terms of violent crime these are the silenced
victims whose stories are never told by Hillary Clinton, but victims whose suffering is no less real or
permanent.

In short, the city of Detroit is the living, breathing example of my opponents failed economic
agenda. Every policy that has failed this city, and so many others, is a policy supported by Hillary
Clinton.

She supports the high taxes and radical regulation that forced jobs out of your communityand the
crime policies that have made you less safeand the immigration policies that have strained local
budgetsand the trade deals like NAFTA, signed by her husband, that have shipped your jobs to
Mexico and other countries and she supports the education policies that deny your students
choice, freedom and opportunity.

She is the candidate of the past.

Ours is the campaign of the future.

This is a city controlled by Democratic politicians at every level, and unless we change policies, we
will not change results.

Today, I will outline my economic vision. In the coming weeks, we will be offering more detail on all
of these policies, and the ones we have already rolled out can be viewed on my campaign website.

Our opposition, on the other hand, has long ago run out of ideas. All Hillary Clinton has to offer is
more of the same: more taxes, more regulations, more bureaucrats, more restrictions on American
energy and American production.

If you were a foreign power looking to weaken America, you couldnt do better than Hillary Clintons
economic agenda.

Nothing would make our foreign adversaries happier than for our country to tax and regulate our
companies and our jobs out of existence.

The one common feature of every Hillary Clinton idea is that it punishes you for working and doing
business in the United States. Every policy she has tilts the playing field towards other countries at
our expense.

Thats why she tries to distract us with tired political rhetoric that seeks to label us, divide us, and
pull us apart.

My campaign is about reaching out to everyone as Americans, and returning to a government that
puts the American people first. Here is what an America First economic plan looks like.

First, lets talk tax reform.

Taxes are one of the biggest differences in this race.

Hillary Clinton who has spent her career voting for tax increases plans another massive job-killing
$1.3 trillion-dollar tax increase.
Her plan would tax many small businesses by almost fifty percent. Recently, at a campaign event,
Hillary Clinton short-circuited again to use a now famous term when she accidentally told the
truth and said she wanted to raise taxes on the middle class.

I am proposing an across-the-board income tax reduction, especially for middle-income Americans.

This will lead to millions of new good-paying jobs.

The rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it destroys jobs, or undermines our
ability to compete.

As part of this reform, we will eliminate the Carried Interest Deduction and other special interest
loopholes that have been so good for Wall Street investors, and people like me, but unfair to
American workers. Tax simplification will be a major feature of the plan.

Our current tax code is so burdensome and complex that we waste billion hours a year in tax code
compliance.

My plan will reduce the current number of brackets from 7 to 3, and dramatically streamline the
process. We will work with House Republicans on this plan, using the same brackets they have
proposed: 12, 25 and 33 percent. For many American workers, their tax rate will be zero.

While we will develop our own set of assumptions and policies, agreeing in some areas but not in
others, we will be focused on the same shared goals and guided by the same shared principles: jobs,
growth and opportunity.

These reforms will offer the biggest tax revolution since the Reagan Tax Reform, which unleashed
years of continued economic growth and job creation.

We will Make America Grow Again.

In the days ahead, we will provide more details on this plan and how it will help you and your family.
It will present a night-and-day contrast to the job-killing, tax-raising, poverty-inducing Obama-Clinton
agenda.
The State of New York has already lived through Hillary Clintons failed leadership. The Washington
Post just published a devastating article on Hillary Clintons broken promises. She pledged 200,000
jobs for upstate New York as Senator. But what happened? The Washington Post writes, and I quote:
upstate job growth stagnated overall during her tenure, with manufacturing jobs plunging nearly 25
percentthe former first lady was unable to pass big ticket legislation Many promised jobs never
materialized and others migrated to other states as she turned to her first presidential rundata
shows that upstate actually lost jobs during Clintons first term.

Compare that to my record. In a recent New York Post article by Steve Cuozzo, How Donald Trump
Helped Save New York City, the paper writes that I and this is a direct quote waded into a
landscape of empty Fifth Avenue storefronts, the dust-bowl mugging ground that was Central Park
and a Wall Street area seemingly on its last legs as companies moved outalmost by force of will
[he] rode to the rescue. Expressing rare faith in the future, he was instrumental in kickstarting the
regeneration of neighborhoods and landmarks almost given up for dead.

This is what I want to do for our country I want to jumpstart America

Now lets look at what the Obama-Clinton policies have done nationally.

Their policies produced 1.2% growth, the weakest so-called recovery since the Great Depression, and
a doubling of the national debt.

There are now 94.3 million Americans outside the labor force. It was 80.5 million when President
Obama took office, an increase of nearly 14 million people.

The Obama-Clinton agenda of tax, spend and regulate has created a silent nation of jobless
Americans.

Home ownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years.

Nearly 12 million have been added to the food stamp rolls since President Obama took office.
Another nearly 7 million Americans were added to the ranks of those in poverty.

We have the lowest labor force participation rates in four decades.

58 percent of African-American youth are either outside the labor force or not employed.
1 in 5 American households do not have a single member in the labor force. These are the real
unemployment numbers the five percent figure is one of the biggest hoaxes in modern politics.

Meanwhile, American households are earning more than $4,000 less today than they were sixteen
years ago.

The average worker today pays 31.5 percent of their wages to income and payroll taxes. On top of
that, state and local taxes consume

another 10 percent.

The United States also has the highest business tax rate among the major industrialized nations of
the world, at 35 percent.

Its almost 40 percent when you add in taxes at the state level. In other words, we punish companies
for making products in America but let them ship products into the U.S. tax-free if they move
overseas.

This is backwards. All of our policies should be geared towards keeping jobs and wealth inside the
United States.

Under my plan, no American company will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes.
Small businesses will benefit the most from this plan. Hillary Clintons plan will require small business
to pay as much as three times more in taxes than what I am proposing, and her onerous regulations
will put them totally out of business.

I am going to cut regulations massively.

Our lower business tax will also end job-killing corporate inversions, and cause trillions in new dollars
and wealth to come pouring into our country and into cities like Detroit. To help unleash this new
job creation, we will allow businesses to immediately expense new business investments.

No one will gain more from these proposals than low-and-middle income Americans. My plan will
also help reduce the cost of childcare by allowing parents to fully deduct the average cost of
childcare spending from their taxes.
We are also going to bring back trillions of dollars from American businesses that is now parked
overseas.

Our plan will bring that cash home, applying a 10 percent tax. This money will be re-invested in states
like Michigan.

Finally, no family will have to pay the death tax. American workers have paid taxes their whole lives,
and they should not be taxed again at death its just plain wrong. We will repeal it.

Next comes regulatory reform.

As with taxes, I will have one overriding goal when it comes to regulation: I want to keep jobs and
wealth in America.

Motor vehicle manufacturing is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country. The U.S.
economy today is twenty-five percent smaller than it would have been without the surge of
regulations since 1980.

It is estimated that current overregulation is costing our economy as much as $2 trillion dollars a year
thats money taken straight out of cities like yours.

The federal register is now over 80,000 pages long. As the Wall Street Journal noted, President
Obama has issued close to four hundred new major regulations since taking office, each with a cost
to the American economy of $100 million or more.

In 2015 alone, the Obama Administration unilaterally issued more than 2,000 new regulations each
a hidden tax on American consumers, and a massive lead weight on the American economy. It is time
to remove the anchor dragging us down. Upon taking office, I will issue a temporary moratorium on
new agency regulations. My running mate, Mike Pence, signed a similar order when he became
governor of Indiana. This will give our American companies the certainty they need to reinvest in our
community, get cash off of the sidelines, start hiring for new jobs, and expanding businesses.

I will also immediately cancel all illegal and overreaching executive orders.

Next, I will ask each and every federal agency to prepare a list of all of the regulations they impose
on Americans which are not necessary, do not improve public safety, and which needlessly kill jobs.
Those regulations will be eliminated. We are in a competition with the world, and I want America to
win. When I am president, we will.

One of the most important reforms of all is trade reform.

As Bernie Sanders has said, Hillary Clinton has bad judgment. Weve seen this bad judgment
overseas, in Libya, Iraq, and Syria. Weve seen it in Iran. Weve seen it from President Obama, when
he gives $150 billion to Iran, the number one terror state, and even gives them $400 million in
money-laundered cash as a ransom payment.

But weve also seen the terrible Obama-Clinton judgment right here in Detroit.

Hillary Clinton has supported the trade deals stripping this city, and this country, of its jobs and
wealth.

She supported Bill Clintons NAFTA, she supported Chinas entrance into the World Trade
Organization, she supported the job-killing trade deal with South Korea, and she supports the Trans-
Pacific Partnership.

Lets talk about South Korea for a moment, because it so perfectly illustrates the broken promises
that have hurt so many American workers.

President Obama, and the usual so-called experts whove been wrong about every trade deal for
decades, predicted that the trade deal with South Korea would increase our exports to South Korea
by more than $10 billion resulting in some 70,000 jobs.

Like Hillary Clintons broken promises to New York, these pledges all turned out to be false. Instead of
creating 70,000 jobs, it has killed nearly 100,000, according to the Economic Policy Institute. Our
exports to South Korea havent increased at all, but their imports to us have surged more than $15
billion more than doubling our trade deficit with that country.

The next betrayal will be the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Hillary Clintons closest friend, Terry McAuliffe,
confirmed what I have said on this from the beginning: if sent to the Oval Office, Hillary Clinton will
enact the TPP. Guaranteed. Her donors will make sure of it.

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for TPP and its also a vote for NAFTA.
Our annual trade deficit in goods with Mexico has risen from close to zero in 1993 to almost $60
billion. Our total trade deficit in goods hit nearly $800 billion last year.

This is a strike at the heart of Michigan, and our nation as a whole. According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, before NAFTA went into effect, there were 285,000 auto workers in Michigan. Today, that
number is only 160,000.

Detroit is still waiting for Hillary Clintons apology. I expect Detroit will get that apology right around
the same time Hillary Clinton turns over the 33,000 emails she deleted.

Hillary Clintons Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will be an even bigger disaster for the auto industry.
In fact, Ford Motor Company has announced its opposition to the deal.

According to the Economic Policy Institute, the U.S. trade deficit with the proposed TPP member
countries cost over 1 million manufacturing jobs in 2015.

By far the biggest losses occurred in motor vehicles and parts, which lost nearly 740,000
manufacturing jobs. Michigan ranks first for jobs lost as a share of state workforce due to the trade
deficit with TPP members.

Just imagine how many more automobile jobs will be lost if the TPP is actually approved. That is why
I have announced we will withdraw from the deal before that can ever happen. Hillary Clinton will
never withdraw from the TPP. She is bought, controlled and paid-for by her donors and special
interests.

Because my only interest is the American people, I have previously laid out a detailed 7-point plan for
trade reform, available on my website. It includes strong protections against currency manipulation,
tariffs against any countries that cheat by unfairly subsidizing their goods, and it includes a
renegotiation of NAFTA. If we dont get a better deal, we will walk away.

At the center of my plan is trade enforcement with China. This alone could return millions of jobs
into our economy.

China is responsible for nearly half of our entire trade deficit. They break the rules in every way
imaginable. China engages in illegal export subsidies, prohibited currency manipulation, and rampant
theft of intellectual property. They also have no real environmental or labor protections, further
undercutting American workers.

Just enforcing intellectual property rules alone could save millions of American jobs. According to the
U.S. International Trade Commission, improved protection of Americas intellectual property in China
would produce more than 2 million more jobs right here in the United States.

Add to that the saved jobs from cracking down on currency cheating and product dumping, and we
will bring trillions of dollars in new wealth and wages back to the United States.

Trade has big benefits, and I am in favor of trade. But I want great trade deals for our country that
create more jobs and higher wages for American workers. Isolation is not an option, only great and
wellcrafted trade deals are.

Also critical to our economic renewal will be energy reform.

The Obama-Clinton Administration has blocked and destroyed millions of jobs through their anti-
energy regulations, while raising the price of electricity for both families and businesses.

As a result of recent Obama EPA actions coal-fired power plants across Michigan have either shut
down entirely or undergone expensive conversions. The Obama-Clinton war on coal has cost
Michigan over 50,000 jobs.

Hillary Clinton says her plan will put a lot of coal companies and coal miners out of business. We
will put our coal miners and steel workers back to work.

Clinton not only embraces President Obamas job-killing energy restrictions but wants to expand
them, including going after oil and natural gas production that employs some 10 million Americans.

According to the Heritage Foundation, by 2030, the Obama-Clinton energy restrictions will eliminate
another half a million manufacturing jobs, reduce economic output by $2.5 trillion dollars, and
reduce incomes by $7,000 dollars per person.

A Trump Administration will end this war on the American worker, and unleash an energy revolution
that will bring vast new wealth to our country.
According to the Institute for Energy Research, lifting the restrictions on all sources of American
energy will:

-Increase GDP by more than $100 billion dollars annually, add over 500,000 new jobs annually, and
increase annual wages by more than $30 billion dollars over the next 7 years;

-Increase federal, state, and local tax revenues by almost $6 trillion dollars over 4 decades;

-Increase total economic activity by more than $20 trillion dollars over the next 40 years.

The reforms I have outlined today are only the beginning When we reform our tax, trade, energy and
regulatory policies, we will open a new chapter in American Prosperity. We can use this new wealth
to rebuild our military and our infrastructure.

As part of this new future, we will also be rolling out proposals to increase choice and reduce cost in
childcare, offering much-needed relief to American families. I will unveil my plan on this in the
coming weeks that I have been working on with my daughter Ivanka and an incredible team of
experts.

Likewise, our education reforms will help parents send their kids to a school of their choice.

We will also give our police and law enforcement the funds and support they need to restore law and
order to this country. Without security, there can be no prosperity. We must have law and order.

In the coming days, we will be rolling out plans on all of these items. One of my first acts as President
will be to repeal and replace disastrous Obamacare, saving another 2 million American jobs.

We will also rebuild our military, and get our allies to pay their fair share for the protection we
provide saving us countless more billions to invest in our own country.

We also have a plan, on our website, for a complete reform of the Veterans Health Administration.
This is something so desperately needed to make sure our vets are fully supported and get the care
they deserve.
Detroit the Motor City will come roaring back. We will offer a new future, not the same old failed
policies of the past. Our party has chosen to make new history by selecting a nominee from outside
the rigged and corrupt system.

The other party has reached backwards into the past to choose a nominee from yesterday who
offers only the rhetoric of yesterday, and the policies of yesterday. There will be no change under
Hillary Clinton only four more years of Obama.

But we are going to look boldly into the future.

We will build the next generation of roads, bridges, railways, tunnels, sea ports and airports that our
country deserves.

American cars will travel the roads, American planes will connect our cities, and American ships will
patrol the seas. American steel will send new skyscrapers soaring.

We will put new American metal into the spine of this nation. It will be American hands that rebuild
this country, and it will be American energy mined from American sources that powers this
country.

It will be American workers who are hired to do the job.

Americanism, not globalism, will be our new credo.

Our country will reach amazing new heights.

All we have to do is stop relying on the tired voices of the past.

We cant fix a rigged system by relying on the people who rigged it in the first place.

We cant solve our problems by relying on the politicians who created them.

Only by changing to new leadership, and new solutions, will we get new results.
We need to stop believing in politicians, and start believing in America.

Before everything great that has ever happened, the doubters have always said it couldnt be done.

America is ready to prove the doubters wrong.

They want you to think small. I am asking you to think big.

We are ready to dream great things for our country once again.

We are ready to show the world that America is Back Bigger, and Better and Stronger Than Ever
Before.

Thank you, and God Bless You.

Denying Accusations

"Now we address the slander and libels that was just last night thrown at me by the Clinton machine
and the New York Times and other media outlets as part of a concerted, coordinated and vicious
attack.

It's not coincidence that these attacks come at the exact same moment and altogether at the same
time as Wikileaks releases documents exposing the massive international corruption of the Clinton
machine including 2,000 more emails just this morning.

These vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false.

And the Clintons know it, and they know it very well.

ADVERTISEMENT

These claims are all fabricated, they're pure fiction and they're outright lies. These events never ever
happened and the people [who] said them meekly fully understand. You take look at these people,
you study these people, and you'll understand also.

'False smears'

The claims are preposterous, ludicrous, and defy truth, common sense, and logic. We already have
substantial evidence to dispute these lies and it will be made public in an appropriate way and at an
appropriate time, very soon.
These lies come from outlets whose past stories and past claims have already been discredited. The
media outlets did not even to attempt to confirm the most basic facts because even a simple
investigation would have shown that these were nothing more than false smears.

Six months ago the failing New York Times wrote a massive story attacking me and the central
witness they used said the story was false, that she was quoted inaccurately. She said that I was a
great guy. She had great courage - I'll be honest with you, she was an amazing person and never
made those remarks - that I was a great guy and never made those remarks. And when I read the
story I was sort of surprised, how could she say that, and she didn't say it.

We demanded a retraction but they refused to print it, just like they refused to print the comments
from another source who praised me in her book, or the words of another wonderful women who
said really nice things about me. They put other statements that she didn't say, they misrepresented.

The story was a fraud and a big embarrassment to the New York Times. And it was a big front page
story, front page, centre, colour picture, a disgrace. They were very embarrassed. It will be part of
the lawsuit we are preparing against them.

Now today, the same two discredited writers who should have been fired from the New York Times
for what they did, tell another totally fabricated and false story that supposedly took place on an
airplane more than 30 years ago. Another ridiculous tale, no witnesses, no nothing.

'Already debunked'

Then there was a writer from People Magazine who wrote a story on Melania and myself on our first
anniversary. The story was beautiful. It was beautiful, it was lovely.

But last week we hear, after 12 years - this took place 12 years ago this story - a new claim that I
made inappropriate advances during the interview to this writer, and I asked a very simple question,
why wasn't it part of the story that appeared 12 years ago, why wasn't it part of the story, why didn't
they make it part of the story?

I was one of the biggest stars on television with the Apprentice and it would have been one of the
biggest stories of the year. Think of it!

She's doing a story on Melania who is pregnant at the time, and Donald Trump, our one year
anniversary, and she said I made inappropriate advances. And by the way the area was a public area,
people all over the place.

Take a look. You take a look. Look at her, look at her words, you tell me what you think. I don't think
so, I don't think so.

But it is amazing, doing a story, a love story, about how great we are together - and by the way we
are stronger today than we ever were before which is great - but, it's a love story, it's a love story on
our one year.

And if I did that, she would have added that. It would have been the headline, and who would have
done that if you're doing this and you're one of the top shows on television.

These people are horrible people. They're horrible horrible liars. And interestingly, it happens to
appear 26 days before our very important election, isn't it amazing.

This invented account has already been debunked by eyewitnesses who were there. They were there
- the very witness identified by the author has said the story is totally false.
By the way this is a room that everyone can see in. It's got glass walls. It's at Mar A Lago, it's got glass
walls. Why wasn't it in the story, biggest story of the year.

This weekend the New York Times published a full page hit piece with another claim from an
individual who has been totally discredited based on the many, many, many, emails and letters she
has sent to our office over the years looking for work. Donald is great, wanting to go to my rallies.

But the New York Times, and this was a full op-ed piece, refused to use the evidence that we
presented, refused to use it. If they used it, if they would have looked, they would have said oh
there's no story here.

'Third rate journalism'

Others in the media, which almost surprises me, because they're dishonest also, were presented
with this story by this woman numerous times and they got very excited, but after seeing the
evidence that we immediately give them, all of them refused to write the story, there was no story.

The Times though didn't want to see it and they just wrote the story. And this was a full page
opposite the editorials.

This is part of a concerted effort led by the New York Times and others. Now the New York Times is
fighting desperately for its relevance and its financial survival and it probably won't even be around
in a few years based on its financial outlook which wouldn't be a bad thing if you want to know the
truth.

But as it winds down its years, and its becoming more and more problematic, its gotten more and
more vicious, more and more vile, and even the other mainstream media is talking about the single
greatest pile-on in history.

And all between now and November 8. And you have to see the stories they've written - it's one after
another after another and facts mean nothing, third rate journalism. The great editors of the past
from the New York Times and others ladies and gentlemen are spinning in their grave.

I will not allow the Clinton machine to turn our campaign into a discussion of their slanders and lies
but will remain focused on the issues facing the American people.

But let me state this as clearly as I can, these attacks are orchestrated by the Clintons and their media
allies.

The only thing Hillary Clinton has going for herself is the press.

Without the press, she is absolutely zero. And you saw that the other night in the debate when some
people said she made virtually a fool of herself. This is not presidential material, believe me."
