Nº OF WORDS:12619
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wow! Fantastic! Thank you everybody! Thank you very…what a crowd! Wow! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. This is amazing.
This has been…such an amazing…go ahead, go ahead! Let it out! …–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. Go ahead! Amazing!
This has been such an amazing experience! I mean, we have a country that's in trouble, and therefore, it shouldn't be fun, but it's going to be fun, because we are going to bring our country back! Remember that, remember! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we've got politicians running…that don't know what they're doing! We have politicians running that are totally controlled…by special interest, by lobbyists. I'm self-funding my campaign, folks. Nobody controls me! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, coming down I told a statistician, “get me the numbers on this area”. Thank you very much…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY IN THE CROWD–…and I love you too! It's a guy, but I love him! I love him! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And, I told my people, “get me the numbers on the area”. And I know Maryland for a long time, and I love it. I have so many friends over here…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. A lot of them here today! David and my friends, my man. Some very great people here.
So, here's what they came with, but this is right out of the books, right? Few states have known Maryland's pain. Maryland has suffered because of what's going on with our country, because manufacturing is down 40 percent…40 percent! Think of that, since 2001. Now, that happens to be when Congress voted…to put China in the World Trade Organization, not a good idea, folks…–THE CROWD BOOS. And now we're going with TPP, Trans-Pacific Partnership. Cruz wants it. Kasich wants it. It's gonna be worse than NAFTA! You’d better not approve it, folks! You'll have the rest of the jobs taken, believe me. Like candy from a baby.
Now, this area, Hagerstown, which we all know and love…we do love it, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's the good news! The bad news is your jobs are down 40 percent! We’ll bring them back, okay? We're gonna bring them back! 40 percent! Fellas, what are you doing!? What's going on!? Let's get going! Wow!
But you know what? You need leadership at the top! And the top isn't treating us right. The top is allowing countries…China, Japan…many, many countries to devalue their currency, which really makes it impossible…for your companies to compete.
Then you have Mexico, and other countries…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘BUILD THE WALL!’–…where your companies are moving their…we're gonna build a wall. We're gonna build a wall, believe me…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re gonna build the wall! We're gonna build a wall, believe me! Believe me, that wall’s gonna get built! Wow!
So, look at this…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS HIS SHEET OF PAPER. Overall, nearly one in two manufacturing jobs in Maryland have…disappeared since 1990. It’s no good! We're gonna change it! We're gonna change it! Who needs those kind of stats? Get rid of them!
I'll tell you what, if I win, and if I become your president, you're gonna see such a fast turn! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you know what? When companies move out of the United States, and they leave Maryland, and they leave all of the other places…you saw last week. We had a record-setting victory in New York. That was incredible. That was incredible…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
All of the dishonest…look at all those cameras back there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS. All of the dishonest media was saying, “well, he won't be able to crack 50” …–THE CROWD BOOS. And you know, what they don't say…and this is something so important. I never really…wanted to talk about it, because it seems so obvious, but they never talk about it.
When I started, we have 17 people, right? 17. And…I then get on, and I'd see these pundits, who don't have the brains they were born with…say…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…“[MGF1] yes, Donald Trump had a conclusive victory, but he didn't break 50 percent”. You can't break 50 percent!
Abraham Lincoln could not break 50 percent…! When you have 16 people in the early…you had 16; then you had 14; then you had 12; then you had nine; then you had seven; you had six; you had five; now we have three, okay? Let me just tell you…–THE CROWD CHEERS. So, despite all of that, I'm doing really well. We're leading in delegates by a lot. We don't care about second, third, fourth battle…; you know, Cruz…this guy, Cruz…lyin Ted Cruz, he's a liar! …–THE CROWD BOOS. Like you've never seen! He is a liar like you've never seen!
And…you know, in business, I deal with tougher people than him, but I've never dealt with a person that could lie like this guy. I'm telling you!
Now, it's not a good liar, because…he gets caught. You know, a good liar doesn't get…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But, I will tell you. You know, over the…weekend, and last week, my folks were meeting with the…Republican National Committee. And, they had a meeting…I don't know. You know, I…I said, “are you…[do] you wanna do this? [Do] You wanna actually go down and spend the money for an airplane ticket to go there?”. They went in Florida…by the way, they had boats and yachts waiting, to take delegates around, and…everybody…; boy, these delegates…! I think I wanna become a delegate! I wanna become…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, it's a crooked game.
Folks, it's a rigged system, believe me. It's a rigged…; and I read…you probably read where Cruz is going…and he's wining, and dining and dinners, and hotels, and all this stuff…! He's bribing people, essentially, to vote.
Now, he can't do it in the first ballot because they're locked in to me in the first ballot. But…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…uh…that's all I care about! That's all I care about! I only care about the first! We're not going for the second, and third, and fourth, and fifth…! Now, here's…here's what I say is his problem. I think we get…that 12-37, I'm pretty sure! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And a lot of other people are saying it! I figured, you know, they said, “if Trump gets…60 delegates, in New York, that would be a big hit. That would be good!”. And if he got around 50 percent, [it] would be good. Anything over 50 would be amazing, which is hard to get when you have three people!
In other words…and…and you know, look. I have a Senator, I have a governor. They both are statistically, mathematically, they’re gone! They can't win! The only way they can win it's like in Wall Street. They call it short sellers, right? In other words, when you bet against the world.
I never liked…people…that go short, because they're not optimistic people. I know so many short sellers…! They're among the worst people you'll ever meet, almost as bad as the media. Not quite! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, nobody is…! I'm not even sure if Cruz as bad as the media, if you wanna know the truth…–THE CROWD BOOS AND LAUGHS. But, what happens…is…is short! [MGF2] 
So, Cruz…is this your short seller. Kasich, I still don't get that! I don't know what's…he's 1 for 38. He won one. And I've…I if I campaigned there, for two more days, I would have won Ohio. You know what happened! I was winning Florida big. And then I had a dirty poll. You know [what] a dirty poll is? A phony poll. Because they put out phony polls. [It] Happen to be by NBC. In my opinion, it was a phony poll. And, I'll say my opinion. But, I think wasn't a…it was a dirty, dirty poll! And, I thought I was winning by like 18 points, 16 points…; then right before the election I was gonna go to Ohio, spend a couple of days there…; and, because I thought I had it made in Florida. The people of Florida know me.
And all of a sudden I get this poll, which, again, I didn't understand, but I didn't wanna take a chance! And it had up only six! Is that right, David? And…David knows. [He’s a] Great, great man. [He’s a] Great man. I won't tell you what he's done, because…some of you wouldn’t like it, but most of you would, right?
But, so what happened is…I get this poll, I say, “ah!”, so I canceled…the Ohio…thing, because I had to win Florida! I figured, “oh, this is really bad! I'm really crashing in Florida!”. I end up winning Florida in a landslide, by like 20 points! And…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and picked up all…99 delegates. 100 percent! Picked them up. Again, I'm only interested in the first ballot. I'm not interested in 2nd, 3rd,  4th, 19th…because I…I'm really interested in winning it early, and that's it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
But…but remember this, wait a minute. Remember this. Think of this. So, I have millions of…it’s called like the fighters, “a knockout”. You know? Boom, boom, first round! And I'm not necessarily looking to fly people all over the world…in a beautiful airplane; have them stay at the best hotels; wine them and dine them…; sit down to have steak dinners for them, so that on the fourth ballot I can win, okay? [It’s] Too much. No, no, I wanna win. We wanna put it away. We could have a really big…you gotta get out there, Maryland! You gotta get out there and vote. We could have a big Tuesday…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We could have a big Tuesday! We could have it.
But here's the thinking. So, I'm millions of votes up on Cruz. Millions of votes up on Kasich. Kasich…!? Honestly, Kasich…I like Kasich, he's a nice guy. He shouldn't be running! Because you have many guys that were doing better than him! You know, I mean, you had Marco Rubio, you had Chris Christie, you had…you know, many guys! I guess, Jeb! Except he spent so damn much money! I don't know if you're calling…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, I mean, he had like a 168 million bucks! I'm so happy I didn't spend that.
You know, I've spent the least, and I'm leading in a landslide! Number one…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Right? Right?
So, I…I have spent the least, and I'm number one. Wouldn't you rather have that for the president that somebody that just spent…? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, it's my money! And yet, I'm in for about 40 million dollars! It's not like a…uh…“gee, this is peanuts!”. But, it's nice to know…that the person that, essentially, has spent the least is in first place by a lot.
But here's the thing. So, I'm winning by millions and millions of votes. I'm winning by three hundred, almost 300 delegates. And importantly, I don't know what's gonna happen on Tuesday…and you gotta…Maryland, but…on Tuesday…–THE CROWD CHEERS­–…on Tuesday, I'm expected…to win all five, I hope. I hope…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. In fact, tomorrow all day I'm going to Rhode Island; yesterday I was in Delaware; Delaware was unbelievable, the crowd we had. It was like incredible.
You know, I went to my people, [and] I said, “how many things do I have registered in Delaware, and Delaware corporations?”. I figured they were gonna say two or three, cause I see Delaware…; and, 378…–THE CROWD CHEERS. Now, he could be off a little bit, cause I gave like four minutes!
I said, “listen, I'm gonna speak at Delaware. How many things am I registered for, or corporations, or whatever, in Delaware? He comes back like four minutes later, “it's not exact, Mr. Trump, but it's about 378”, I think he told me. 378, that's a big company, I'll tell you! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, when I went to Delaware I mentioned that! I said, “man, I'm paying a lot of money to this state!”. But they're great people. We had an amazing rally. I'm going to Rhode Island and tomorrow, I'm spending a lot of time. We're gonna have some incredible rallies in Pennsylvania, but…but here…here's…where the system is…just…it's just no good!
And you know, I brought it out! Because for years you heard about delegates, delegates…; nobody knew what it meant, delegates. You know, nobody knew. And it started for me with…with Louisiana!
I went to Louisiana. I was supposed to lose. I was supposed to lose the entire south, right? And then what happened is I won the entire south! In a landslide! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Alabama! Arkansas! We won Kentucky! We won Florida! We won every…in massive numbers, okay? Alabama was unbelievable! We won like in…; in fact, if I don't get the vote from Maryland, I'm moving to Alabama, I'm telling you! I'm telling you…–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So, what happens…so what happens is this. So, I win all these states and they said, “the evangelicals…”, you know, Cruz has the evangelicals. But then they found out he's a liar, and they stop voting for him! You know, they don't like liars, right!? The Bible high! The Bible high! We put the Bible way up high! You put it down, and then you lie! They don't like that. He's a liar! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I have…I have Jerry Falwell Jr. I have so many people that have best…Liberty University, an incredible guy, Jerry Falwell Jr. We have so much support from ministers and pastors, and everything else. So, we did great. We did great. Look, she's more impressed with that that anything I've said! I’m impressed! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A WOMAN IN THE CROWD.
So, what happens is…I say…I…I just read an article that Cruz is working really hard to…I don't wanna use the word bribe, but to bribe…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…the delegates…from all over the place on the second ballot! The third ballot! The fourth ballot…! I don't wanna ever to get…we're not working that order. We're only interested in the first ballot, because…we should win it.
But here's the thing. Let's assume it got to a second ballot. So, here…you are, and we have as convention…; everybody's all excited…; people are screaming…; and it goes to a second ballot. The man that worked…really hard, the man that's been on Time magazine cover with you, not me! I'm just the messenger, folks. It's a movement! Okay? It's a movement! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I mean, Bill O'Reilly, [a] good guy, [a] tough guy, very smart in FOX, the other night, said that…“what's happened with Donald Trump…”, which is us, all of us, together, “is the most…”, no, but he said this, and he said this srongly; “…is the most…significant, essentially, political event of his lifetime”. Think of that! Think of that! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, I mean, we're not playing games! And many people have said it. Because just like this, I mean, we set this up a couple of days ago, we have a massive hangar that's filled…; look at this, filled to the back corners…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Uhm…I wanna thank the fire marshal. Where's the fire marshal? I wanna thank him. You know, some of these fire marshals can be tough, you know? They can be tough, but…uh…we have a good one over here, I wanna tell you.
But…but, when you think of it…; so, let's say it does go to a second or third or fourth ballot. So, I go in and I say, “hey, look, what do I know?”. I have…millions more votes. I don't mean like…you know, I win by two votes. I'm winning by millions, and millions of votes.
Look at New York. I have millions of votes! I'm gonna win New York. I'm gonna win Maryland. I'm gonna win…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…I'm gonna win…no, but think of it. I'm I'm talking general. I'm gonna win Michigan! I'm gonna win states that no other Republican is gonna even go and campaign in! It’s true! I'm gonna win!
And you know, I get a kick out of Kasich, and Cruz! They go…“we…”, well, actually Cruz loses to Hillary, badly! But, Kasich is winning a little bit by Hillary, right!? So his whole the thing is, “I beat Hillary Clinton in the general!”.
Here's the problem: he hasn't had one negative ad against him! And as soon as they give him a couple of negative ads, he's gonna drop like a rock, folks. I've had 55,000…negative ads! …–THE CROWD BOOS. [It’s a]True story! [It] Has to be true, I saw it on FOX! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I've had, legitimately…and by the way, you know, if it's not true, you know, tomorrow it’s a headline, right? “Trump said this…”. I’ve to be very careful.
I always said, “I wrote The Art of the Deal, the biggest best-selling business book of all time…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and now I always say, “well, I think it's probably one of the best, so…”. You gotta be…; but it…I think it's the biggest of all time, but rather than getting into…I say ‘one of the biggest of all time’. But I do think it's probably the biggest of all time. Anyway!
But here's the thing: so he goes and he gets all these delegates, lots of dinners…; I wanna see what the…cost of hotels, and food and everything else is for Cruz, okay? I wanna see it. Because, it's astronomical. But he gets for the second. It's…it's…I'm telling you, it's so negative. [He] Gets for the second; [he] gets for the third; [he] get some good publicity, get into delegates; but we're never gonna get there! He’s not taking any first-round delegates. We're not gonna get there. But how does it look?
Okay, we go to a second round. Second ballot…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU DONALD!’. Thank you, man. Thank you. Look at this nice kid, young kid, a lot of energy! A lot of energy! He's got a lot more energy than other people I know! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. A lot of energy!
So, we go to a second round…we go to a second round, Trump has millions of votes more, by that time, because you look…you know, on Tuesday it looks like five. I mean, I don't know, but I believe in polls! I…you know, to be honest! So let's say we win five…we win all five states; we pick up a lot…; now, it's unfair…[it’s an] unfair thing, cause I'm way up in Pennsylvania. But in Pennsylvania, I think you get 17 delegates, and the rest you have to negotiate for! What is this!? What's going on!? It's really…an…unfair…system! But here's the story.
So, I'm leading by millions of votes! And, by that time I'll be 500, 600 delegates ahead. And maybe I’ll be…25 people…I’ve…25 short! But remember, that 25…remember this. Nobody ever talks about it! The 25…short.
When I started, we had the 17. I told you. And then we had 16. Then we had…; I was never going one-on-one. I didn't have Hillary, where you have…you know, communist Bernie Sanders doing it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He’s…here’s a thing: it's crooked Hillary Clinton against the communist! Who the hell…!? I mean, this guy's crazy! This guy's crazy! Crazy! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, you can say he's a socialist, but he wants to raise your taxes by like a 100…; he wants to take 100 percent of what you make! He wants to give free education, free this, free that…whatever you want, you can have! And I’ll tell you, when you look at his tax return, that's why he made so little, I guess! I don't know, who the hell knows? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
But, you look at him, and you look at her, and I'll be honest, I'm so happy…she's gonna win, cause I really wanna fight Hillary, I really do. I wanna fight Hillary…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don't know if she'll be easier or harder, but that's the one I wanna beat! They actually said, they came out with a poll recently, an election between…crooked Hillary…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…and wonderful Donald…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…it'll be…the biggest, most incredible, vote-getting election in the history of our country…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. There will be…there will be more voters turn out for that election than any election by far in the history of our country.
Now, think of this, right? Who knew about debates!? I love the debates! It turned out I’m good at debating, I guess! I won all the debates! Every poll, Drudge! And Time magazine, and…Slate! Annd everyone that did said, “we want every single debate from every single source of…whatever”. And these are hundreds of thousands of…of people that are voting. So, we've liked the debates.
But think of this: Trump versus Hillary. That will be so much fun. And…and, here's the thing. Here’s the thing…–THE CROWD CHEERS. Here's the thing, remember this. I watch these guys saying, “well, Trump is a…”; first of all, I do beat her and various polls, but that doesn't matter, because I started off with all of these senators, and…governors, these powerful people, the top of the line, the best we have in the country, and great people, including Chris Christie, who endorsed me…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and Ben Carson, Dr. ben Carson, who endorsed me…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…it's great guys! Two great guys! And they…are…have been so incredible, and so helpful. And there'll be others endorsing me soo. I mean, there'll be a lot…a lot of people are endorsing me! But think of it!
So, they’ll say, “well, Donald's not…”, I haven't even focused on…Hillary. I haven't even thought about her, other than two months ago when I hit her heart. She went like this and I got no credit for it! They said, “Bernie's doing well…!”.
But somebody said on television today…wait a minute. Wait a minute. The last person she wants to run against is Donald Trump. “He started off…”…they all said, “well, he's just having a good time. He's having fun…”. I like this, but I can think of other things I'd rather be doing right now. You can too! That's why I love you! You're here on a Sunday afternoon…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…you could be at other places. No, this country's amazing!
I mean, in Alabama 35,000 people…–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY­­–…thank you.
So…so, they talk about changing personality, and presidential…I think I look real good! I mean, I think I look like a president! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You mean…you mean Kasich looks better than Trump? I think a lot of people would disagree with that! …–THE CROWD BOOS. Cruz…? Cruz…? [Do] You think lyin Ted is better?
But here…here's the thing: so I started off, and…we had…all of these people, then one by one I knocked them out, knocked them out, knocked…! And believe me, I knocked them out! Nobody else knock them out! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And these are all nice people. You know, once I defeat them I like every one of them…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. While I'm fighting them, I don’t. Like right now I don't like lyin Ted Cruz, but you know what? In about four or five weeks from now, I think he's gonna be one of my best friends. I mean, that’s the way it works…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That’s the way it works.[MGF3] 
And, you know what's interesting, is…I'm getting calls, right now, and so is my staff. We have a great staff. We have a great staff. Nice…–MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND AS HE HEARS A PLANE OR ENGINE–…oh, that's so beautiful! I don't…I don’t like the plane, but that's okay…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I have a nice staff.
But here's what's gonna happen, and here's what they said to the in television, one of the smart…pundits. [He] Said, “wait a minute .Why would Trump change?”. I…I…I'll change. I'll do whatever it…; it's so much easier to be presidential, because I don't have to use any energy! You know, I could just walk out…ay! …–THE CROWD LAGUHS. It’s so much easier! You think this is easy, ranting and raving…!? I gotta entertain…18,000 whatever the hell number of people we have here!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.[MGF4] 
Look. Look. Look. So, I started off…and this person said today, and…and very smart…[he] said, “wait a minute, why would he change? [He] Starts off with 17 people, and one by one…”; Governor Walker, highly respected, he's gone. Jeb Bush, oh, he can't be beaten; he's got the Bush name, he's got 168 million dollars on his thing, boom! Low Energy, he's gone, okay? I mean, all of them! All of them! I mean, you look at them, good people! Marco’s a good guy! A lot of good people! [Do you] See the way I like people have to defeat!? But, Marco is good! We got a lot of good people. Defeated, defeated, defeated…everybody…okay? And here I am! Here I am! I am standing with you, people!  …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm standing with you.
And this person said, who is a…one of the smart pundits, of which there aren't too many, cause most of them said, “he's never gonna run!”. And then I ran. Then he said, “he'll never sign…form-A”, which is where you sign your life away, and then I did that. Then they said, “he'll never put it his financials”, and I put him in ahead of schedule. And, it was much bigger company…I mean, the company is phenomenal! Or you would have been reading about it all over the place folks, believe me.
In fact, a friend of mine, a very rich friend of mine called [and] said, “now I know you're rich, because you gotta, actually, give you financials. And if you're not rich, you wouldn't be running”, okay? I…have built one of the great…companies. I started off with a million-dollar loan, and I paid it back a million-dollar loan, and I built it into 10…million…dollar…10…think of this! 10 billion dollars of net worth…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…in a fairly short period of time! So, I take a million, turn it into 10 billion; [I’ve] some of the great assets of the world; very little debt; great cash flow…and who cares? Except that's…the kind…of thinking…that our country needs at least for a little while! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, they're talking about running, and this person said, “wait a minute, he's against all of these professional politicians. He's been doing this for nine months”, at the time. Nine months! Now it's actually 10 months.
“So, he's been doing it for nine months”, they said, “and, he's meeting all of them! One after another! Every week. Another one gone. Another one gone. Another…”. And they said, “just out of curiosity, why would he change!?”, right? “Why?”. Wouldn't it be interesting…? If I changed and everyone said, “this is the most presidential candidate since Abraham Lincoln!”, and then we started to lose. Wouldn't that be terrible, okay!? So, we gotta be a little bit careful about changing, folks. We gotta be a little bit careful.
But here's…here's the thing. We are…against many candidates. Nobody's ever had…in the history of parties, nobody is…uh…I love the sound of those engines, but it means oil. It means fuel, but at least now it's down at a pretty low point, right? So, nobody has ever had so many candidates. So, when they say…I watched one of the pundits, Charles Krauthammer, who hammers me…–THE CROWD BOOS–…although I heard…I heard [that] the other day he was really, really positive, so I'm not gonna say anything bad about him.
But, when he said, “he isn’t attaining 50 percent…!”, you know, of states. You can't when you have eight, nine, ten people! And don't forget, these things averaged out. So, when…in…a long time ago, New Hampshire, I won it. I won it big. I wasn't supposed to…–THE CROWD TIMIDLY–…I Love New Hampshire, it's my first victory! …–THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. I won New Hampshire big. I won South Carolina big, big, big! And Nikki Haley was against me! It turned out to be an asset, because she's very weak on borders, okay? So, that turned out to be a big asset. The lieutenant governor was for me. Okay.
So, I won…I won South Carolina big. I won. Then I went, I…the south! I won everything. I won  Nevada…! And in Nevada they did a poll of the Hispanics coming out! I won the Hispanics, because they wanna see jobs come back to the country…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
But here's the thing, when you have…when you have all of these candidates…now, I'm…getting…very close to fifty percent! And that's averaging for all of these things, where I had all of these people. And nobody ever says it. And even now, we have three people. I have a governor, [and] I have a senator. And to win, and to get over 50 percent. So, they all thought I couldn't do it because statistically it's hard to get over 50 percent when you have three people. If you got 42 percent, you're doing great, right? I got almost 62 percent. Almost 62 percent…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 95 delegates!
Now, in Florida I won 100 percent. In New York I won almost a hundred percent of the delegates. I mean, it's not final yet. I think it's gonna end up being 91, 92; almost…like almost all of them, right? Almost all of them. And think of it, with three candidates I end up getting…almost 62 percent. It's amazing, right? It's amazing! But, at least now we're down to three. But where I'm competing, and where it's unfair to say, that you need the 12-37. And I think I'm gonna get there, so I'm not complaining about it, although I am. I am…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [MGF5] 
It’s…it's very hard to get to the 12-37, which is…half plus one, when you had all of these people running for office! And you know what? They’re accomplished people! Whether you like them or not, they're all governors, senators…; you had a lot of people running! And you…like Ben, he's a very…you know, [a] tough guy, and he competed better than…almost everybody. I mean, frankly, Ben could have stayed in…I'll tell you! Rubio could have stayed in. Bush could have stayed in. They could have stayed, and just drifted along and just like…like Kasich is. I don't quite get what Kasich is doing. And some people say that's good for me. I don't happen to think so, because if you think about it, if he wasn't in the race in New York I would have had…let's say 90 percent cause you know, because…Cruz died in New York! He just…he…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…can you imagine!?
But here's the thing! So, let's say…so he's going around, he's buying all these delegates, he's getting all these delegates in the second, third, fourth…! I don't care about them. I only care about the first. I wanna get there…; I don't wanna have…; but can you imagine if he ever…if we ever did get there and he won? And yet, the guy that he was competing against beat him by millions, and millions of votes. And I know one thing: none of you are gonna show up to vote for him, because he would…you know, forget it…–THE CROWD BOOS.  Forget it.
And I don't want his endorsement…you know somebody said, “don't you want his endorsement?”. Honestly, I don't care. I want your endorsement, okay? I want yours. I don't care…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. I don’t care.
There are a couple of people…I…I don't even want their endorsement, cause it's so phony. Did you ever see with these politician? I've watched it all my life. They fight like hell for six months, and they're saying horrible things, the worst things you can imagine. And you say…; and then, one of them loses, one of them wins. They go…and the one that loses says, “I just wanna congratulate my opponent on…; he is a brilliant man. He will be a great governor, a president”, or whatever! I'm not sure that you're ever gonna see me there. I don't think I’m gonna lose! But if I do, I'm not sure you're ever gonna see me again, folks. …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Okay? I think I'll go to Turnberry, and play golf or do something…–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
But, you know…do you ever watch out that!? Seriously! They the most vicious, vicious fighting. And then, the one that loses gets up and says…and the one that wins gets up and says, “he was a brilliant fight. He's a wonderful man”. Half the times, they put them in the administration. This is a way they get rid of him. Let me tell you, folks. It's a phony business, this politics. It's a phony, phony business.[MGF6] 
And, you remember…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and…and we brought in millions, and millions of people! The hottest story…and David can tell you that, the hottest story…that there is in all a politics worldwide, is what's happened with the Republican Party. Because…four years ago when Mitt Romney…choked, and he lost an election…–THE CROWD BOOS–…that he should have won…he choked like a dog. He choked…he was going, “aw, I can't breathe! I can't breathe!” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
How about that third debate? He was going, “I can't breathe. Mr. President, you're wonderful. You did a wonderful job” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. And then they criticized, right? He choked like a dog. That was an election that should have been won.
But four years ago, just remember this…I don't think I'll get his endorsement. I don't want it, I don't care! …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Listen to this, four years ago…four years ago, we're up almost…70 some odd percent, in…people that are voting now in Republican primaries. That's because of me! They're all at…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no, it is! I mean, I just take voters…; and there’s not a party in the world that could say it. Somebody was saying [that] it’s the hottest in the word. That's why O’Reilly made the statement. That's why I'm on the cover of Time magazine a lot, with you. We had one…in fact, there's one where I'm standing like this, and there’s this massive crowd in front of me. And it's a shot…right? Time magazine, from the back! And I said, “I do have pretty good hair!”. I mean, actually! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I do have pretty good hair! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No…no bald spot.
Okay, but…but, you know what? It was like an amazing…photo. [There were] Thousands of people out there. We brought in…millions of…not thousands, we brought in millions! We brought in millions of people to the Republican Party. And those people are independents, they're Democrats…;
You know, one thing happened in New York that was amazing. It was on one of the stations, one of the local stations. They went to interview…the people that work the voting booths. And it was a woman that's done it for 25 years, about…65 years old, [a] great woman. And they say, “how's it going?”.
She said, “I have never seen anything like it”.
Now, in New York they can't switch. So when you go in, when you're a Democrat, you can't…you have to go in and vote Democrat, or you have to vote Republican, right? [In] A lot of places you can turn over and you can switch. You can cross over. She said…and there were three of them! They interviewed three. She said, “I've been doing this for 25 years”. Another one said, “I've been doing it for 35 years”. They said the same thing: “in all the years that I've been doing it, I've never had a situation where so many people that are registered Democrats came in…and they said, ‘we wanna vote Republican, how do I do it?’”. Now, they're not allowed to do it in New York. You're not allowed to do that. You…it takes a year and all that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But she said, “I've never seen…by the hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds…”; she said, “people were coming in, and…they want to vote for Trump!”. I mean, you know, they wanted the switch. They wanted to vote for Trump!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
So, we are going to get…when I can pinpoint Hillary, I gotta get rid of these two guys! I'm sorry, folks! When we pinpoint…we will beat her so badly, and remember this! I think I'll…I think we're gonna win in New York. We're gonna win in Michigan. Remember! We're gonna win in areas…that nobody can even think of.
But the one thing I want you to leave here with, the main thing is, on Tuesday you have to vote. Then we’re gonna talk about jobs for a second, and we get the hell out of here, right!?
But…but, let me just…let me just tell you. The one thing I want you to remember, when you see that Trump is doing really well…we'll build the wall, don't worry. We'll talk about the wall in two seconds…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…don’t worry. I can't build…! Hey, listen, how can I build the wall if you don't vote for me!? We gotta talk about…first things first.
So, here's the thing. Here's the thing. You gotta remember this. [It’s] So important. [It’s] So important. When you see about the 50 percent, and the four…you got 43 percent, and there were six people, and…just remember! The numbers we have are astronomical! But nobody ever mentions all of these people that have been in the race, and they finally…almost all dropped out, but even now, with the three, it's always hard to get. But despite that, we're doing great. And a lot of the polls, in the five states, that we're going against on Tuesday, a lot of them have the over…and substantially over! Pennsylvania is looking great. Rhode island is looking great. They're all looking great! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Maryland is looking fantastic, actually! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
So…so, just remember, cause the pundits never talked about it. They never say it. And a lot of people…forget. They don't know. But just remember, the numbers are unbelievable. And you can't give…an election…to a guy that goes around, picks up…delegates, and he's number two…if we didn't make it. We’re gonna make it! I don't wanna be negative. We're gonna make it! I think we're gonna make it easily, if you wanna know the truth. But how would you like to have a guy…that will have 4 million votes less? That will have maybe four, or five, or 600 delegates…less? And he's gonna become your nominee? I don't think it works that way! …–THE CROWD BOOS. And I do wanna say this! We wanna keep everything peaceful, but I hope [that] all of the Trump fans…; I just read something coming over here that the loyalty of the people to Donald Trump, cause we're gonna make America great again, folks. We're not gonna put up with this stuff…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
The loyalty…the loyalty of the Trump voter is…so much greater than anybody else! I mean, people won't leave! There are some people that say, “under no circumstances!”. That means like…I don't wanna say, cause then they'll say, “he said a horrible…”. But they say, “he won't…!”. They won't leave. The loyalty is so much stronger than anybody else, actually, in many, many years! Not just against these candidates!
You have like Cruz! If he sneezes, they'll leave, okay? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Kasich, if he looks in the wrong direction, they'll leave. With me!?
A woman was on the other day on television. And they said, “what will it take for you to vote against Donald Trump?”. You know, she had the Trump hat,  the Trump sticker…; and she had ten of her friends. She was like 50 years old, and I wanted to grab that television and just hug it! And he said…a wise guy! You know, one of the wise guy announcers. And…cause they're so…disgusting. And he said…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…he said, the woman, “what would it take…?”.[MGF7] 
She said, “stop…stop your question. There is absolutely nothing…that man can do…that we…will vote…against him! So, stop your question”. …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. And then, all of her girlfriends, there are like 10 or 12 women standing behind her, wearing hats, some red, some white…; they're wearing the hats, and they're all saying, “yes! That's true, that's true, that's true”. The loyalty of this group is amazing! And that's one of the reasons they're all talking about it.
I got a call from one of the biggest…biggest columnist. I mean a…an amazing guy. He happens to be liberal, but that's okay every once in a while, right? And he said, “how does it feel’”.
And I said, “how does what feel?”.
“How does it feel to do what you've done?”.
I said, “what have I done?”.
He said, “there's never been anything done like this, in American politics”.
And I said, “you're wrong. If I don't win, I will consider it an entire waste of time, waste of money, waste of energy and effort. Because, unless we win…”.
And he said that I was wrong! He said, “no, no, no. They'll be talking about your campaign for decades to come”. I said, “no…”…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no. I said, “no. I said we gotta win. I said we gotta win.[MGF8] 
Cause, you know, it's wonderful whether they say, “hey, we did a good job. Big deal”. Unless…unless we get in, and I'm not just talking about primaries. I'm talking about beating…crooked Hillary. Unless we get in…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…oh, she's as crooked as they come, folks. Just take a look. She’s as crooked as they come. I don’t care! [Do you] See? I can say things. I don't care…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, I don't care.
But unless…unless we're gonna beat her…I mean, we can't effect the kind of change we're talking about. We can't make it impossible for companies to leave.
You know, we can…if…there have to be consequences. And when a company goes to Mexico, fires all its people from Maryland, or fires all of…like, you saw Carrier, from…Indiana. A great state where we're doing well. They were from Indianapolis. They fired 1,400 people, [and] moved to Mexico. And now they're gonna make air-conditioners. They're gonna sell them through. No tax, no nothing.
So, what I would do is I'd say, “here's the story, folks. You wanna move to Mexico”. And the…the, you know, the politicians, they've been working on this for five years. Number one, uh…a lot of them aren’t smart. Number two, the ones that are, are all…paid off by people that want them to move because it's to their advantage from a corporate standpoint, okay? It's to their advantage.
But here's what you do! You say, very simply, “enjoy your trip to Mexico. I hope you build a wonderful plant. Enjoy the heat”…and I like the Mexican people. I love them. I’ve thousands [that] work for me. They're the greatest. They’re great! But their leaders are too smart for our leaders! I’d said, “enjoy yourselves, because…every unit that you make when it crosses the border…”, which will now be very strong, “…there will be a 35 percent tax in that unit. 35”…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
Now, no politician…would say that because their special interest groups and their lobbyists will tell them, “you can't”, because the lobbyists, who get a fortune, will be hired for millions of dollars to go see the President, and make sure…that he shuts up and he doesn't talk about that.
Me!? I don't care. I'm just…I'm doing the right thing. We have an opportunity…to make America, honestly? Greater than ever before! Greater…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…I mean it! I mean it! I mean it! Greater…greater than ever before.
And you know what's gonna happen? The Carrier folks are gonna call up, and they're gonna say either, “Mr. President, we're not moving. We're gonna stay in Indiana”, or, “we're gonna stay…somewhere in the United States”, but they'll say in Indiana. You have a lot of companies that have left for Mexico. A lot! Every single one! …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. If I spoke to those companies, if I were…president, and if I would put into gear what I'm definitely gonna put into gear, not one of your companies with a left for Mexico.
Now, they may go to a different state, that's different. [If] They go to a different state, folks, you gotta fight for yourself, right? We love our country. But, they’re gonna end up staying. They'll say probably in Maryland. But, not one…of those…companies would leave. Not one! I will tell you, a hundred percent, everybody! Because right now they have no consequences. They go to Mexico; they make the product; they sell it to the United States; zero tax! Because we have these free traders, of which I'm one, but free trade is only good…remember this, when you have smart people leading you. And honest people leading you! And our people mostly aren't smart, and the ones that are, are all taken care of by contributions, folks. So, you're really…I mean, you talk about a rigged system? The delegate system is rigged, and the whole deal, in the whole business climate is rigged! And that's why you lost 40 and 50 percent of your manufacturing jobs here!
If I were president…and if I could…dial it back ten years…but we'll stop right here! Cause you're losing a lot right now! You know that! Right now, companies are gonna leave Maryland, and they're gonna go to Mexico, and other places. And we'll stop it. But they have to have consequences.
And the politicians…you know, I saw some of the things. It's like a four thousand page document that was written. They're talking about giving them abatements, and giving them this, and…loaning them low interest loans, all this…you don't need it! Just say this, “[if] you move to Mexico, you're gonna pay a tax”, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. “[If] You move to Mexico, you pay a tax”. You don't need loans. You wanna keep it simple, simple! Very simple!
China! We have a 500…billion…dollar…trade deficit with China. When you try and do business in China it's almost impossible for you to get your product in, and when you do, you pay a tax, whereas they can just send their product here and there's no tax, right? They have absolutely killed our businesses. This is all of them!
Now, China is the greatest abuser of all, but Mexico is really doing a good job, I wanna tell you. They are…; you look at Mexico, it's gonna become the car capital of the world! Ford's moving there. [There are] So many companies!
Ford's building at two and a half billion dollar plant! And after that, they just announced a week ago, I read in the papers, that…this was two years ago. I've been talking about this for two years. But nobody puts pressure on them. So now, they're gonna double down, and they're gonna make it even larger! That should never happen. That should never happen.
So now, they're gonna make Fords. They're gonna make cars, trucks, and parts. They're gonna make him in Mexico in this beautiful new plant, not employing us, but letting go of thousands of people. And they're gonna sell the cars over the border. And we're all stupid, and they come in for nothing. Not with me, folks, believe me. With me, they pay a price, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
And somebody said…cause I'm really, you know, like…I'm like a smart guy. A lot of the folks, smart guys. I'm like a smart guy! Let me just tell you. Let me just tell you, folks. So, here's their excuse: “well, then your product will cause more”, Jeb. “Then your product will cost more. Mr. Trump is not a free trader, but he's a gifted politician”. Jeb called me a gifted politician! In fact, he said, “he is a gifted, gifted politician”. And I never thought of myself as a politician! I didn't know, that's…I  was…;
My wife said, “why did he say such nice things about you?”.
I said, “you're gonna have to ask him” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But he thought…I wasn’t a conservative. [Do you] Remember? “He is not a conservative” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Who cares!? I am a conservative! But who cares!? I'm a free trader! I like free trade. But you can't have free trade…right? You can't have free trade…you can't do it! …when your leaders are either paid off or stupid! And that's what we have! So, I like free trade! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…but, we can't have it!
So, here's what happens. So, with China…and China is fine! I made a lot of money with China. I have the largest bank in the world, as a tenant of mine, a building in Manhattan. I do…tremendous condo business with China. They buy condos, like it's…uh…like it's gravy! I have…a building in…in the Bank of America building in San Francisco, with a great…company! And I have…1290 Avenue of the Americas, one of the biggest office buildings in New York. All through China! All through fighting with China. I fought, and fought! It worked out to be phenomenal deals. And, I know China! We can…do great against China. We don't have to do so great. We just have to make it much better. We can't have…a 505 billion dollar yearly deficit. You talk about them…but you can't do it!
It…it…you almost…you say, “how does our country survive?”. This has been going on for years, by the way. We have rebuilt China! What China has done to us…and I'm not angry at China! I'm…I think it's great! Frankly, I wish our leaders had the same…brain power as their leaders, okay!? I'm not angry China! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm angry at our leaders, for being so grossly incompetent. They shouldn't even be leaders! I don't even like to use the term! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so…so, we have this massive trade deficit with China, and it's gonna end. And yet, China…we have rebuilt China. Remember this statement, what China has done to us is the single greatest theft…in the history of the world. We have rebuilt China. We have lost millions of jobs. We've lost…trillions of dollars! We've rebuilt China. Free trade. That's what free trade is, okay?
You know what? Free trade is great, but not when you have the wrong people negotiating. Now, go to Mexico for a second. And by the way, what's China doing…they're building a military…fortress, like you've never seen before, in the middle…of the South…China…Sea!
Now, they're not supposed to be doing it, folks. They're not supposed to be doing it. What people don't know is we have great leverage, because if we ever started imposing…tariffs, and imposing things and all that stuff that's pouring in…; and just remember, and what they're going to say to you is, “Trump is wrong, because your products are gonna be more expensive”. And they're right! But here's the good news: we're also gonna have millions of jobs!
So, yeah, the product will be a little…more expensive, maybe a little bit, maybe a lot. We're gonna have millions of more jobs! They never say that! Because we're gonna make the product here! We're gonna make Apple here! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We're not gonna make Apple over there! I wanna see Apple…making its product here! And you know what!? If it costs more but we're employing millions more people, that sort of evens out! And nobody ever talks about that! These people, these dishonest…reporters, and I say it to them! …–THE CROWD BOOS. I say, “remember…remember…!”. Cause they all say, “well, those products will be more expensive!”.
First of all, there's a massive shipping cost. I mean, when you think about the shipping and every…we have an advantage if we make it here. But, they all say the product will cost more. What they don't say…and I always say it to them! “Please, remember to say that, yes, you're right; and, yes…to compensate, we're gonna create millions of jobs, because we're gonna be making the product for ourselves”. They never put the second part. It's unbelievable, how dishonest they are.
So…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…s[MGF9] o, we have a lot of power over all of these…countries that view us is the big, dumb bully. [Did] You ever see a bully get beat up? It's almost sadder than watch a normal person get beaten up…–MR. TRUMP GIGGLES. THE CROWD ALSO LAUGHS–…we’ve seen them all, right? No, [did] you ever see a bully go down!? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘YES’–…I love to see it, but I don’t like it…with us!
What we are is like the big, dumb bully that gets pushed around by everybody. It's not gonna happen anymore, pol…folks. I tell you this, Maryland: it's not gonna happen! We're gonna get your jobs back, and…and it…very importantly, we're not gonna allow…jobs that are currently negotiating to move to Mexico, and other places. They're going to not move…when they talk to me, and when they see what I'm gonna do, because it won't be economically viable for them to do so! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So a couple of things…we’ll…then you go home, [and] you watch the end of whatever game you wanna watch, okay? And I love being with you, folks. I appreciate it. To have this kind of a crowd…look at the size of it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love being with you. And sadly, sadly, we don't have any protesters. I wish we did! Cause the only time the cameras show the crowd is if there's a protester, or a protest! Otherwise…every time I go home my wife says to me, “oh, how is the crowd, darling?”.
I say, “you didn't see it!?”.
“No, they keep it on your face” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. She said, “it sounds really big! You know, it sounds big”. But she said, “but, you…you don't know”.
But, the good thing about protesters…in fact, I'm gonna sort of have my own, because we don't have protesters so much anymore. Because, [do] you know why? We dealt with them properly. They're a bunch of phonies…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They don't like coming here anymore. They don't like…it's not friendly territory. But you know what? They had some in New York. I was making a speech and they had some guys outside on Park Avenue and 42nd Street, a building I built, the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
So, I'm making a speech, they had some protesters. And the cameras, the media, went up to them, and it was pretty good, pretty honest, actually. They said, “why are you here?”.
[The] Guy goes, “I don't really know” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. And he's got this beautiful sign that was manufactured probably in China…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…manufactured…beautiful! You know, uh…‘Trump equals hate’. I equal love, let me tell you, folks. Love. Believe me, love…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Including for them! Including for them! And we gonna bring jobs back! We're gonna get rid of Obamacare, [and] we're gonna come up with…great health care! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
We're gonna save our Second Amendment, which is being chipped away at! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
We're gonna end Common Core and bring education local…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
I mean, we’re like all in the same side! We're all in the same side. It's just…it's like amazing! It's like amazing! So, here's the story. I just wanna tell you, when I’m debating these characters…thank you…–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE CROWD–…oh, I…nuts! I thought it was a protester, [but] he's a fan! They won't turn to a fan! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Isn't there a protester over there , or someplace so they can show…? Look at the size of this place, back to the corner! This is a big hangar! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. So, anyway!
They won't show it. They won't it, don't worry. They keep it…you know, they're like steel. They’re like steel. In fact, it took me three…when I started this, we had crowds…big crowds. We had 35,000 in Alabama; 25,000...20; we had bigger than Bernie, bigger than anybody. They don't like to report it, but that's okay. They all know it's true. But you know what? When I started this, I didn't know! I didn't know! And…and, I thought the cameras were like this modern equipment, where they couldn't turn them! Cause they never leave! Look at them! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. They never, ever leave!
And then, it took two or three rallies…–THE CROWD BOOS–…No, no! [It’s] True! No, no…! Thank you, folks. It took…two or three rallies and I had a protester. I said, “oh, that's two bad. All right, get him out. Get him out”. And, [do] you know what happened? All of a sudden…and the protester was like in a back corner, and those cameras were turned around like a pretzel! I never saw anything…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I said, “oh, they can move!”. So, I realize it.
And, you know the protesters have been interesting, cause the first time I had a protest, it was a rough guy. He was swinging, and so…he had a voice like Pavarotti, okay? A friend of mine…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But he had a voice like Pavarotti. He…the guy was really bad, and…you know, it was a tough cookie. And, people got a little bit upset to put it mildly, but my people at tough too. But I tell you what. I said, “get him out of here!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! I said, “get him out!”. All right.
And the next day, I was excoriated in the press, for the…temperament. They said, “oh, he so mean! It was so horrible! But the guy’s punching people, you know…! They said, “get him out!”. So, they thought it was terrible.
So then, the following day I had another big rally. We had some guy stand up, and he was screaming, and…I said, “get him out”, very gently…“don't…please, don't hurt him. Don’t hurt…”.
And you know what they did, the next day in the press!? “Donald Trump is not that strong a guy! He's become much weaker…!”…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. You can't win! You can't win! So, okay[MGF10] .
So I'm on the…uh…I'm on the stage, and I have all these characters, you know, these politicians that I'm competing against. And, again, I'm getting calls from people, right now, before…that you wouldn't believe. People that have said the worst things about me. People…that have said such bad things…! If my mother were around she'd be crying, okay? My mother was great. But if my mother were around, she'd be crying, to watch. If…if…you would hear what they said.
And now they're calling, “hello Donald, we’d love to join the campaign” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I’d say, “what!?”.
And I actually asked one! I said, “you know, I’d love to have you”, because believe it or not, I'm a unifier. We're gonna re…we're gonna unify the Republican Party. We're gonna gonna unify it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re gonna unify it.
But here’s the story. Here’s the story. So, I get these calls…many calls, especially over the last three, [or] four weeks; especially after New York, actually, cause they have that kind…; even my worst enemy in the media said, “that was a massive victory. Nobody expected that”, right? And it's nice, by the way, when the people that know you best…give you that kind of a victory where's massive, where it's far greater than even the polls showed. Because that means they know you, they like you, they respect you, they think you're good. I mean, I know Maryland and all, but nobody knows we like New Yorkers. And it's really nice when the people…even from your standpoint, when the people in New York, who know me so well…! They know the good, the bad, the ugly…they know everything! When they give you that kind of a massive victory, higher percentage than Hillary, higher percent…by a lot; higher percentage than everybody. When they give you that kind of a massive victory, it tells you that…you know, it makes you feel good, because they know you. Okay.
So, what happens…so what happens is this…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…I love you too! I'm on this stage with these guys, and first they come out, a couple of months ago, they come out…this is when we had about six or seven left, and I was talking about the wall. And they see me after the event. And you know, they're different after the event. They're all nice, everyone's nice. Then they get on, [and] they start screaming at you.
And by the way, I told this guy. I said, “how do you say, after what you've said about me, just out of curiosity…I love having your support, but how do you say…?”.
“Oh, don't worry about that, Don. I'm gonna just say I've changed my mind”. That's politics, folks. I…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…I'm not used to that. You know, I'm a legitimate person, I'm not used to that.
But you'll see people coming out soon that was so bad…you won't believe it. So, I'm standing on the stage with these people, and then one guy comes off and he goes…one of the candidates. He said, “Donald, you can't build a wall!”.
I said, “of course you can, it’s so easy!”.
He said, “how are you gonna…?”…–THE CROWD CHEERS.
Then, recently, one of them came off, and he said, “Donald, you know you can't get Mexico to pay for the wall” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Who's gonna pay for the wall!? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. 100 percent, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 100 percent.
And I said, “let…let me explain something. The Great Wall of China was 13,000 miles long. It was built 2,000 years ago, okay?”, we need 1,000. It’s 2,000, but we have a lot of natural boundaries, and borders that…are very good. That are…almost as good as a wall right? Maybe we’ll build a little longer, actually, [we’ll] take care of a couple of other little spots…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
And by the way, we're gonna let people come into our country. We want people to come in, but we want them to come in legally. You do know that, okay? Legally. [They] Have to come in legally through a process…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.[MGF11] 
So, this guy…so, this guy says, “you can't get Mexico to pay!”.
So, here's story, cause you have a lot of good business people, who I know in the…in this…place. So, what happens…I say, “wait a minute”. Here's the story. I’m gonna just give it to you real quick, cause you know, I wanna get off the stage. I wanna go and tell everybody how great I did in the debate! The spin room! Trump won the debate! You gotta do that fast! You know, otherwise, they'll go in [and] they’ll say, “oh, Trump got clobbered”. I’d say, “I thought I won”.
So, I'm…I’m trying to get to the spin room, you believe…everything in politics is, sadly…it's so false! It's all spin. It's all…crap! But we're gonna change it, folks. We're gonna change it. We're gonna change it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
So…so, I said to them, “let me just tell you: we have, with…Mexico, a 58 billion dollar-a-year…deficit”, right? Trade deficit. So, we have 58…billion…dollars a year. The wall’s gonna cost ten billion dollars, all right? And that doesn't include, the 58, it doesn’t include all the drugs that are coming across, poisoning our youth, okay? And other people…–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. And that, the wall stops, believe me. And this is a wall that's a hell of a lot higher than the ceiling of this hangar. And when people get up there…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…if they ever get up, they're not coming down so easy! They're gonna say, “man, that is scary!”. This is a real deal! Now, this is a real wall. I'm a good builder. I built very good buildings, very tall…! It's a lot tougher the building walls.
So, I said to this guy, “look, they have a trade deficit, right now, a trade deficit of 58 billion dollars. The wall’s gonna ten. Just…so you understand, that's real easy. Isn’t it…isn't that?
He said, “oh, I never thought of it that way”. They would never get it. And I saw Vincente Fox, the former President of Mexico…–THE CROWD BOOS. You saw it. And he used the f-bomb. Can you imagine if I used the f-bomb? I'd…be given the electric chair…–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
He said, “we will…not pay for the-you-know-what wall!”. He said, “we…will…not…pay…!”, and then he threw out the f-bomb! The guy throughout the f-bomb. And I said, “oh, can you imagine if I ever did that? I wouldn't be…”. Nobody even wrote about it!
But they did write about this: he said, “we will not pay…for the wall”.
And I said, “well, that's good, because a year ago…he was saying ‘we will not let a wall be built’ so, so far, we got the wall, and now it's only a question of getting the money”, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no, they’ll pay. No. They’ll pay.
So folks, we're gonna build up our military! We're gonna make it strong, we're gonna make it powerful…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're going to make it so strong…! And you know, honestly, it's the single cheapest thing we can do, folks. Because right now, we are being…; you look at what Russia is doing…; and we're gonna get along, I think, fine with Russia.
As you know, Putin said great things about me. Putin said, “Trump is a genius”. And these candidates wanted me to disavow his statement! I said, “why would I disavow that statement? I agree with it”, okay? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. All right.
So, I think we're gonna get along with Russia. Hey, wouldn't it be nice if we got along with Russia!? Okay? Did anybody in here mind when Russia started dropping bombs on ISIS? Okay? I mean, we had some senators…we had a senator from…as you know, Lindsey Graham, who’s really a nice guy. But we went to South Carolina, and I was at 48 percent and he was at 2, and he's the sitting senator, so you can see he's angry. And he keeps endorsing people. He endorsed this one, this one, this one, this one…! Every time he endorsed somebody, they went out! He endorsed Bush, I said, “he's gonna be God in three days!”. He was gone in three days.
But he was upset that Russia was dropping bombs on ISIS. And I said, “that's why we've been fighting this war for 15 years!”. We shouldn't have been there in the first place! We shouldn't have been to Iraq! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We destabilized the Middle East! But then we shouldn't have gotten out like Obama got out. We should have left the force…we should have left a force, and [do] you know what? We shouldn't have given them the exact date!
How about, “we are leaving in 14 months and two days…”…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. The enemy sat back! I thought, “maybe it's camouflage”. It turned out not to be, right? Cause nobody could can…;
Can you imagine George Patton, who's spinning in his grave? General Douglas MacArthur, they're spinning in their grave when they listen.
How about the 50 soldiers? Three, [or] four months ago, Obama gets up and he talks about, “we are sending…50 of our finest, to Iraq and Syria”. Now they got a target on their back, folks. Why can't you keep your mouth shut? You know, we need unpredictability! We need unpredictability! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we gotta get it! We gotta get it.
So…so, here's the story. So here's the story. We're gonna have a great military, and we're gonna take out ISIS, and it's gonna be gone, and we're gonna go back to…rebuilding our country. You know, we spent…if you added up, at least four trillion dollars in the Middle East. [Do] You know what we have? Nothing.
If you go back 15 years ago, if our presidents all went to the beach every single day of the year, we would have been better off than the mess we have right now. We have migration! We're taking in…tens of thousands of people [that] we have no idea where they're from! There's no documentation…! …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY–…there's no anything!
And that new Omnibus budget that was approved with democrats, and Republicans, allows funds for that; funds for illegal immigrants to come in; funds to keep Obamacare, because its bombing all over the place…okay? …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY.
So, here's the story, folks. You're gonna remember this beautiful…hold it…–MR. TRUMP CHECKS HIS WATCH–…day! We're a little short of evening! You're gonna remember this day! Beautiful day. You're gonna remember this day! But more importantly, you're gonna remember on Tuesday. You’re gonna go with your people, your friends, everybody you can get. Because we…need…a big…mandate! We…need…a mandate! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
And Maryland it’s…it’s so, so important. It's so important. And you're gonna look back, and I say this to everybody, because it's so true. You're gonna look back, and you're gonna say, “that was the single greatest vote I ever cast. I cast a vote for Donald Trump” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we will do things fast, and we will straighten out the job situation fast. It’s going to be America first now, folks. We're not gonna be the stupid people anymore. It's America first. America first…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
And…we’re gonna beat Hillary Clinton because I will hit her, and don't forget…what they said on television today. You know, this guy…everyone said he was just having fun. So, he goes in, and one by one: knocked out of governor, knocked out a senator, knocked out a governor, knocked out a senator…! And now there's…two guys that are limping. They’re limping! They have no way! They're mathematically out! The only thing they can hope…the only thing they can hope is we don't get it on first ballot! And they bought all these things with all their trips, and all their steaks, and all their hotel rooms.
But you're gonna have…I'll tell you what. If a guy that…is losing by all those millions of votes…wins? I'll tell you what. We're gonna have some people that are gonna be very, very angry! Really…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They’re gonna be very. And I hope! But only in a positive way, I hope that all of you, and everybody, everybody that's listening…look at all the televisions going. I hope that everybody that's listening can go, in July, can go to Cleveland, because we're gonna have something that's going to be so beautiful. But, you have to play the game fair. It's a rigged system.
You know, the fighters say…you know what the fighters say, when they get brought into…a wrong territory. So, you have a champ from Maryland, but it gets brought into a different state. And he's fighting somebody that's good. And I'll say, “hey, champ, why [are] you doing that?”.
“Because he got more money”.
I said, “yeah, but the judges are gonna be against you”, just like this system is rigged?
He goes, “Mr. Trump, let me tell you, the judges can't help if I knock that guy in his ass, if I knock him out”, okay? They can’t. Right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They can’t help.
So, we’re like fighters. We're like fighters! Right? Is that true? They can't…they can't help the guy lying it is back unconscious…! They can't help those unconscious guys! I've seen it a hundred times. They wanna get that little extra money, so they go at unfriendly territory. And all they wanna do is knock them out.
Let me just tell you. So, you're gonna go, you're gonna vote, you're gonna say was the greatest vote you ever cast. And here's what's gonna happen: we're gonna beat Hillary…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and from the time….from the time I…and we're gonna hit her hard. Again, just like I took out all of these people, we're gonna take out Hillary! She's easier than some of the people…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, she's easier to beat than many of the people that we have systematically beat! But we haven't focused on her yet, okay!? We haven't focused.
So, here's the story. We're gonna win. And we're gonna start wedding from the time we take office. We! We! All of us! From the time we take office, we're gonna start winning again!
We're gonna win with our military, we're gonna knock the hell out of ISIS. We're gonna win for our vets! We're gonna win for our vets! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because our vets are great people! And they haven't been properly taken care of!
We're gonna win on the border!
We're gonna win with education, we're gonna get rid of Common Core!
We're gonna win on health care! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
We're gonna build the wall, we're gonna win at the border! We're gonna have people come in legally only! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we're gonna win…with…trade! We're gonna have our jobs coming back, and no other jobs are leaving Maryland or anyplace else, folks!
So, I just wanna thank you. Get out and vote! And I promise you, we will make America great again!
Thank you!
