Nº OF WORDS:8683 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is absolutely unbelievable. Thank you everybody. Thank you very much. Thank you.

So this began as 500 people in a ballroom in Phoenix. And the hotel called us up and they said, “Please don’t do it here. We’re going to be swamped. It’s going to destroy the building. It’s been amazing.”

And outside, sadly, we have thousands of people that can’t get in. So you know real estate. You know real estate.

I want to thank everybody. You know, last night; and a lot of you saw it on television; it was actually carried live; we had an amazing event and a very sad event. And yet, very beautiful. Because the word is getting out that we have to stop illegal immigration. We have to. We have to.
We have a situation that’s absolutely out of control.
We have incompetent politicians, not only the President.


I mean, right here in your own state, you have John McCain. I just hate to see when people don’t have common sense, don’t have an understanding of what’s going on, or perhaps don’t want to know. Maybe it’s campaign contributions. Maybe it’s special interest. Maybe it’s lobbyists. But for some reason, some people don’t get it and I don’t think they’ll be in office much longer. I really mean that.
We are going to make this country so great again. We are going to work so hard.
And I will say this: When we had our event last night, I saw hardened veteran reporters who were crying. You had to see this. People that I’ve known for a long time that I don’t even like; they’re not good people.

How are you doing back there?

And one in particular, tears are streaming down his face and I’m saying; I don’t believe what I’m seeing. I didn’t think he had a tear in him. And some of the people that spoke were absolutely amazing. One, their child was killed by an illegal immigrant, shouldn’t have been here.
And this began for me; it’s very interesting because when I started and when I announced; don’t forget, everybody said, “He’s never going to run.” Right? Then they said very strongly; you know, these are very knowledgeable people; they don’t know anything. Then they said, “He’ll never file his FEC paper.” I filed that two weeks ago. They said, “Oh, wow.” Then they said, “He’ll never file his financials because he’s not as rich as people think.” And they get filed during this week. And by the way, some of the other candidates will not be filing from what I hear. Okay? And when they filed, the number is actually much higher than anybody ever knew. And I’m not saying that to brag. I’m only saying that because that is the kind of thinking our country needs.


We need thinking where trade deals with China, with Japan, with India, with everybody. We’re getting ripped. We’re being taken apart piece by piece, slowly. Slowly. China laughs at us. They laugh at our stupidity. They laugh at our incompetent politicians. They have geniuses negotiating for them. We have people who don’t have a clue; they don’t have a clue. 

Mexico; and by the way. Officially; and I’ve only said this about 200 times but it never gets reported. I love the Mexican people. I love the spirit of the Mexican people. I love them. Many, many people from Mexico; legal. They went in the old fashioned way. They’re legal. Many, many people from Mexico work for me. And over the years, thousands of people; Hispanics; have worked for me. And many, many work for me now...by thousands. They’re incredible people. By the way, nobody ever says that. Nobody ever says that. They always cut that out.


And I’ll go a step further. I respect Mexico greatly as a country. But the problem we have is that their leaders are much smarter, sharper, and more cunning than our leaders, and they’re killing us at the border and they’re killing us in trade. They’re killing us. And every once in a while I’ll see a rally and it’s put up by the Mexican government in my opinion. People come in. They’re so perfect. They’re like central casting. And you know how long the rallies last? Like about 12 minutes. They go home. But when you do; I’ve said this often. It’s very, very hard for a very successful person; and I’ve heard it from the time I was a little boy; to run for President or even political office. And I find it and I have headlines everyday. “ESPN...drops Trump”.

A friend of mine in Paris called. “Oh Don, it’s too bad about ESPN.” You know what they were doing? They rented my golf club for a day. They put up a big deposit. I took their deposit. And then I rented it to somebody else. I made two for the price of one. No, it’s true.
Then the next day all over the world, “NASCAR drops Trump.” NASCAR. NASCAR. And then friends of mine call up from Europe. Headlines; NASCAR. “Don, it’s too bad about NASCAR. I feel so; “ You know what that one was? They rented a banquet hall at Trump National Doral in Miami for one evening. I took their deposit ; I took their deposit. And you know what? I just rented it for much more money than they were paying. So it’s two for the price of one.


You know, I may make money running for President. It’s very interesting.


Then all over the place, I hear Macy’s. Now, Macy’s hurts because the head of Macy’s I thought was a great friend of mine; Terry Lundgren. Nice guy. He called me up, and I’m in New Hampshire and I’m getting ready to go on to make a speech. Sort of interesting. It’s like 6:30 in the evening, and I get a call from Terry Lundgren of Macy’s. And the speech is packed. It was a house. It was supposed to be in the house. They didn’t have enough room. They had 300, 400 people and they never thought this was going to happen. They thought there were going to be 30 like this. This is a little larger but the same thing proportionally.


So my phone rings; my cell phone, and it’s Terry Lundgren of Macy’s. And the man on stage is getting ready to introduce me. And he said, “And you know, we have Donald Trump; the American dream” and blah, blah, blah, blah; everything. And my phone rings during the introduction. I’m going to be going up there like in a minute. And he goes; “Donald, hi.” He’s like my best friend. I said, “Terry, what’s your problem?” He said, “You’re very controversial.” He said; and I’m supposed to be going up. I’m supposed to make a speech. I got all these people. And by the way, cameras; just like all these cameras; you have all these cameras ; we’re on live television all over the place like we are now. And he said, “Donald, I had calls from Hispanic people saying they’re going to boycott Macy’s. I don’t know what to do.” I said, “Terry, be tough. They’ll be gone. One day, one day.”


Now, this is a man I played golf with. I’m with him all the time. I mean, really was, was, was &; you understand; because I don’t forget things… He said to me, “Please, please, Donald. Can I cut you?”
It’s not a big deal. I’m selling ties. And honestly, you know what? They were made in China so I didn’t care that much. I was like screw it.

So I’m walking up the stairs to make a speech and I have Lundgren saying “I’d like to cut you” because he’s going to get some bad publicity, he thinks. And I walked upstairs and he said, “And now the American dream; “. And I’m still talking to Lundgren, and it’s like a minute and a half before I walk on stage. People said, “What happened?” And I made a good speech. No notes. No nothing. And everybody was happy. And I just got cut from Macy’s. And here’s the bottom line on Macy’s. Thousands and thousands of people are cutting up their Macy’s credit card. Thousands.


Then I get a call from NBC. Now, let me tell you about NBC. - PEOPLE BOO-  No, no, I got to tell you. Hey, look, I love the people at NBC. We had a tremendous success with The Apprentice. And they renewed The Apprentice.


See? I give up a lot. You’re going to see how much money I made with The Apprentice come Wednesday or Thursday when I do my filing. Seriously. It’s a very lucrative; you know, it’s great when you have a big television show. It’s like, you know, you’re a movie star; you get a lot of money. Right? Not that much but a lot. But you’re going to see very impressive numbers. So NBC calls me; “We’d like to see you.”
Now, they don’t care about inclusion. They were talking about inclusion. You know, they write their press release. So, I read this and I say, “This is incredible”. But they called me and a couple of months ago the head of NBC comes to see me. And the head of NBC’s boss; I don’t want to mention names because they’re really good people. They’re friends of mine although I’ll probably never speak to them again either. And you know, the head of NBC’s boss; that’s Comcast because they own NBC.
So I get a call; the head of reality for NBC, the head president of NBC, and the head of everything ; the head of Comcast. And they come to see me a number of months ago, “Please do The Apprentice. Please.” They won’t deny it. They won’t deny it.


I said, “I can’t. I want to make America great again.” I’ve done The Apprentice now for 12 years and it’s a great show. For 12 years. There have 14 or 15 copies of The Apprentice. Everyone have failed. Every single one. I mean, I could give you names but I don’t want to embarrass people.
Nah, give you a couple of names. No, nice people. Mark Cuban did one called The Benefactor. It was a disaster. Richard Branson did one. Great guy but it didn’t work out. Tommy Hilfiger, who I love. A tenant in my building. Great guy. Didn’t work out. Hiltons did one. Martha Stewart did one for us. Did one for Mark Burnett and Donald Trump. Martha Stewart. She’d just got out of the can. No, it’s true. She’s hot as a pistol. You know, they showed her coming out. You know, she’s got the whole thing with the whole outfit that she’s wearing. The whole thing. I said, “What a great idea.”


So we actually did The Apprentice done by us. It wasn’t even a copy. It was called The Apprentice. Within a couple of shows it was over. It was over. So I must have something, right? I must have.
So here’s the story. NBC sees this. I mean, they’re smart people. So NBC comes to my office and they want me to do The Apprentice so badly. And what do I do? I said, “I can’t. I’m going to run for President.” And I said, “Because of equal time; “ Now, you know what equal time. Such a stupid law. Obama can go on television all day long and be President and run for office. But if I have a television show, what happens is everybody running for office would have to be able to do The Apprentice. Equal time.


So you’ll have a good guy named Rick Santorum. You’ll have all these guys.


You’ll have somebody who used to head up Lehman Brothers; the governor from Ohio. Headed up Lehman Brothers. Lehman Brothers almost took down the world. He was a managing partner. I think he’s a nice man. I don’t know. But I know if you’re the managing partner of Lehman Brothers, Lehman Brothers almost; you’re not looking too good. You know. But all of these guys, they would have to be given two hours in primetime television on Monday or Sunday night. I don’t think so.

So they came to my office and they said, “We’d like you to do it. So important.” And by the way, they renewed The Apprentice. It was really very interesting because a lot of people said, “Well, how could; “ at the upfront, they announced The Apprentice, which is good because I always want to be loved, you know? Like when I went on dates, if a woman dropped me; which happened often; I would always like to say or at least in my own mind that I dropped her. Does that make sense? So what happened; makes me feel better.


So they renewed The Apprentice and I said I’m not going to do it because I’m going to run for President. They didn’t believe me.
I said, “Why won’t you believe me?” “Why would you give up a primetime show?”
Mark Burnett calls from...a great guy. Survivor, Apprentice. Great guy. He really is a wonderful guy and a friend of mine. He calls me, he goes, “Donald, they’re giving you an extension. Nobody turns down an extension.” He said, “I’ve never heard of it before.”


I said, “Mark, I’m going to run for President.” Nobody believed me. Then I run. And the guys, they’re in my office and they said “Run and then by September, we’ll do something.” Do you believe that? Do you believe that? And I said, well if I don’t do well, I would have done that. You know, why not? You know, if I’m not doing well, if it’s obvious I’m; there’s a problem. We just went to number one in the polls.


So, NBC went nuts. They renewed their show and they don’t have their star and everybody else failed with similar shows. And they’re angry at me.


So again, don’t believe the inclusion. They’ve got Rev. Al Sharpton working for them. Okay? He’s actually not a bad guy. He’s a con man. You’d have to understand it. Rev. Al is a con man. You know, tells people “I’m going to picket you if you don’t give.” I mean, this guy is a con man. But I’ve known him for 20 years. He’s fine. You’ve got to understand who you’re dealing with. They’ve got lying Brian Williams. He’s okay.


They sent me the most beautiful present a couple of months ago. Hundreds of; I shouldn’t say the name because I deal with all of them; but in this case, Titleist. They sent me hundreds and hundreds of Titleist golf balls. Top of the line. They sent them to me…Card; “From your friends at NBC”. A short time later, they say “He’s not inclusive”; me.


I’m more inclusive than anybody. More inclusive than anybody.


I then get a call. Univision. Now, Univision controls and by the way, believe me. Univision has a certain power. Now, I didn’t know much about Univision. I thought they were very wealthy. They’re actually not wealthy at all. They’re highly over-levered. They’ve got like, I think, $10 billion in debt. They have to do an IPO.


Now, how stupid is this? They could have waited a couple of weeks, done their IPO, and be done. Instead, they do it early. They couldn’t do it fast enough because you know why?
In my opinion, it’s only my opinion, the Mexican government totally tells Univision; it’s about 80% of their market; totally tells Univision what to do. Totally. So the Mexican government is not happy with me, to put it mildly. But again, I respect Mexico but their leaders are too smart for our leaders because we have stupid leaders. Okay? And I’ll tell you, just between you; just between this little bit of a group; thank you very much…

A GROUP OF PEOPLE CAUSE INCIDENTS: THEY PULL OUT A FLAG OR SIGN
THE REST OF THE AUDIENCE BOOS.
THE CROWD AND MR. TRUMP SING ALONG. Minute 00.22.37:
‘U S A’! U S A’! ‘U S A!

So the Mexican government does not care about the border nearly as much as they care about the bad trade deals that the United States is making with Mexico. That’s really what it’s all about. That’s really what it’s all about. So, I just sued Univision for $500 million.

With all of that being said, we have to be strong. We have to take our country back. We have to run the country properly. So, I’m going to bring up a man who’s a great man. He’s a great, great guy. I saw him the other day on television. 

CROWD INTERRUPTS
MR. TRUMP CONTINUES. Minute 00.24.03:

Don’t worry. It’s okay. You can shout. I wonder...I wonder if the Mexican government sent them over here; I think so. Because I’m telling you, I tell about the bad deals that this country is making. Mexico; I respect the country. They’re taking our jobs. They’re taking our manufacturing. They’re taking our money. They’re taking everything, and they’re killing us on the border. And Mexico does not like it. So remember this. Don’t worry. We’ll take our country back very soon. Very soon.


So the other day, you know it’s funny, I got a great review for a speech, including my opening speech when I announced I’m running for President. It wasn’t until five days later that people started saying, “Oh he said something -“

What they don’t say is they cut it in the middle of the sentence. They cut it. Because those people; many of them; not all, some are great; but many of them are very dishonest people, meaning the press. Very dishonest. Very dishonest.


I’ll give you one quick example because I want to bring somebody up for a second who’s fantastic. But I’ll give you one quick example. I say; and it’s fairly standards because I believe it strongly; “The American dream is dead but I’m going to make it bigger and stronger and better than ever before.” Right? Right? So and I say it usually once during a speech, every once in a while. You know, I don’t use teleprompters like the President and I speak from the heart. So I say “The American dream is dead but I’m going to make it”; it’s standard; “bigger, better, and stronger.”
Okay, so now I go home and my wife says to me, “Darling, that was such a tough statement.”
What? I turned on the television. “The American dream is dead.” Period. Cut. I said, “Oh, what a horrible statement.” They are so dishonest. They are so dishonest.


You know, what I usually do because if you really love this country, you have a very, very hard convincing people what you’re doing is right and that you’re really smart. And like a lot of us are really smart. I’m like really smart. Went to the Wharton School of Finance. Even then a long time ago, like the hardest or one of the hardest schools to get into. Did well at the school. Came out, made a fortune. Wrote a book called “The Art of the Deal”.


Did everybody read “The Art of the Deal”? They say the number one selling business book of all time, which I agree, but I’ll say one of them because if I’m slightly off by two copies, they’ll say “Oh, Trump exaggerated.” …Wrote many bestsellers. Many. I think 12.
So I did a lot of things. But “The Art of the Deal” was like the number one selling business book of all time. Great. Then I do The Apprentice, became this tremendous hit. NBC was desperate to have it. Forget it. 

Now, they can put somebody else that lasts. Okay. So ready? And then I hear like “Donald Trump doesn’t deserve to be on the same stage with some failed Senators, failed governor” or something. It’s sort of amazing, isn’t it? Isn’t it amazing?;


And the poll just came out and I’m tied with Jeb Bush. And I said, “Oh that’s too bad. How can I be tied with this guy? He’s terrible!” He’s weak on immigration. You know, the sanctuary cities. Did you know that he had five of them in Florida while he was governor? Can believe this? I didn’t know that; I just; five of them. He’s totally in favor of Common Core, meaning your children in Phoenix and other places are going to be educated by bureaucrats from Washington, who for the most part just want to pick up a check. Give me break. And he’s in favor. I don’t see him as a factor and I know it’s the Bush name, which you know has gotten us into lots of wars. I mean, in all fairness, not the greatest. But Jeb Bush; I don’t get it.


So when they said, “Mr. Trump, you’re in first place.” “Oh that’s good.” “You’re tied with Jeb Bush.” I said, “That’s not good. How can I be tied with this guy?” But I’ll tell you what, I’m going to bring up a man to just a few words. His son was viciously and violently shot by an illegal immigrant. His son was a star athlete, a star student. He applied to Stanford and many great colleges. He would have been; he could have gone anywhere.


And I met Jamiel on television about a week ago. I see this guy. He’s mentioning my name. I said, “Oh no, not again” because I figured he’s killing me like everybody else. Right? My wife said, “No, I think he’s saying some really good things.” I said, “I doubt it.” You know, they’re hitting me left, right. I said, “I doubt it.” But I turned it up and he said, “The only man that’s sticking up for us is Donald Trump.” This guy is great, and we were at the news conference with his mother and his sister yesterday and it was one of the most incredible things.


So I’d like to introduce to speak a little bit about his son and how incredible his son was and how his son should be here with us. I mean, his son should be alive and he should be in one of the great colleges and he should be maybe someday in the NFL. But he won’t be because an illegal immigrant shot him violently. And this guy is the best guy. He’s become my friend. He’s been with me for a few days. And just say a few words about your boy. 

MR. TRUMP INTRODUCES SPEAKER MR. JAMIEL SHAW. 
MR. SHAW SPEAKS. Minutes 00:30:46 - 00:39:20.
MR. TRUMP CONTINUES. Minute 00.39:24:

Thank you Jamiel. So, amazing story.

By the way, Jamiel’s sister is here too and she told me the story that when Jamiel saw the boy, saw the boy laying on the sidewalk dead, this incredible young man with such a future, Jamiel laid down on the sidewalk and started pounding the sidewalk with his hand and badly damaged his hand. Badly, badly. He couldn’t understand it. He couldn’t believe it.


Just an amazing guy. I mean, just an amazing guy. And he wasn’t being heard. He wasn’t being heard.
And the only reason I heard him was because he was talking on a show and he was mentioning how badly they’ve all been treated.


And then you have in San Francisco, a beautiful young woman, Kate, and killed by somebody that just pleaded innocent. First pleaded guilty. Now he has a good lawyer and went into court and pleaded innocent. And they’ll be playing around with him for about 15 years in court and probably he’ll get off too. It’s a horrible thing that’s going on with our country. And these are two people that should be alive. And these are people that shouldn’t have been in this country. They flow...they flow in like water. And I love legal immigration. I love it. I love it. I think it’s great. My wife is a legal immigrant. I mean, she went through a whole long process. It’s not easy, and we should maybe make it easier and faster, which I think is fine. And we’ll have great people come in, and we’ll have them come in from all countries; Mexico; everybody, every place. These are great people.


And you know, one of the things that I’ve seen; because this has been an amazing week; and you know, it’s been like an incredible week because I thought I was going to be the jobs person because every poll; CNN did a poll the other day; I’m killing everybody on jobs. I’m killing everybody on leadership. You know, it’s like funny. You know, I went through these different categories; the only thing I’m not killing, a lot of people don’t like me. I said what difference does it make. This is about competence.


Somebody said, “You win on leadership by far. You win on absolute economic, financial; anything having to do with the economy. You’re like lapping the field. Much, much higher than anybody else. But they said, but a lot of people don’t know whether or not they like you.”
I’m actually a nice person. But I actually said if I’m winning in all these categories, why are we even going through primaries?


Hillary Clinton is going to be a horrible President. It’s horrible. If she even wins her own primary, which I don’t know. And by the way, just so you understand, even then press will say ‘This crowd today blows away anything that Bernie Sanders is having’. That I could tell you. 

But if you think about it, Hillary Clinton was the worst Secretary of State in the history of our country. The worst. The world blew up around her. Our enemies are a disaster and they hate us more. Our friends are all gone. They’re all gone. They’re all sort of like; we don’t get along with anybody. Everybody is ripping us off, whether it’s Russia or China.

You know what we’ve done? For 20 years, I’ve heard the worst thing that could happen would be if Russia or China start uniting. We united them because we did things that were very onerous, because Obama doesn’t like Putin and Putin doesn’t respect or like Obama. And all of a sudden, Russia and China now are doing all sorts of things together. So we’ve driven them together and I’ve always heard that’s a disaster, and it is a disaster. We have driven them.


So, Hillary Clinton was the worst. Now, tell me something; why? Just tell me why would she be a good President? She’d be terrible. Who would you rather have negotiating a deal; a trade deal; with anybody? Trump or Hillary? 

Well, we have to get there first.


So, who would you rather have negotiating a really good deal with Mexico, China, Japan? Trump or Jeb Bush?


So, when I started, I really thought it would be, you know, a long slog, and I was okay with it. I didn’t think that the immigration thing would take on a life like it has. I made some very tough statements about people flowing through because that’s one of the things to make our country great again we have to create borders, otherwise we don’t have a country. So it’s one of many things.


And I’ve been very strong. It’s one of many things. We have to make great trade deals and all.
So I said strong borders; one of the things. I said trade deals. Who would do better?


I’ll tell you what. I know the greatest negotiators in the world. Some are horrible people; horrible human beings. Who cares? Some Wall Street guys, they’re brutal, they’re miserable. You wouldn’t want to go out to dinner; they’re terrible people. I love them. I know the best. I know people that are totally overrated. They’re not good like they think and like the press thinks.


I know people that you never heard of that are better than all of them. I would take one, put him in charge of Japan. Good luck.


You know who’s our primary representative right now? Caroline Kennedy. You know how she got the job? 60 Minutes; she went to the White House. She said “I’d love to have a job. I have nothing to do.” They said, “How would you like to be the Ambassador to Japan?” She goes, “Really?”. And Abe from Japan, who’s a killer, he’s great. He’s already knocking the hell out of the yen, by the way, which makes it even more impossible for us to compete. And he’s wining and dining her, and I watch it all the time; wining and dining and just doing a number on our country.


A friend of mine is a great excavator. That’s what he does. He digs foundations. He digs lots of dirt; Earth. But he’s a great excavator. Big. And he always bought Caterpillar. And he calls me up recently and he goes, “I’m a little depressed.” “Why?” “I just put in a big order for machinery, for excavating equipment.” I said, “Oh, that’s good. Did you buy Caterpillar?” “No, I bought Komatsu.” I said, “You bought Komatsu?” It’s fine. I mean, it’s a well-known brand. I said, “You bought Komatsu. Why?” He said, “Because Japan has so devalued the yen” &; brilliant, smart, these are smart people; “that it made it impossible.” …So he ordered Komatsu instead of Caterpillar. This is happening all over the place.

Today, in the Wall Street Journal, big story; Ford going to build tremendous plants all over the place overseas. Ford, by the way, speaking of Mexico. Again, I respect them. I wish we had smart people. Ford is building a $2.5 billion plant. Whoever heard of this? $2.5 billion in Mexico!…So, I’m saying to myself, “That’s not good”.

And in addition to that in Tennessee, a big plant; $1.2 billion; was going to be built in Tennessee. Wall Street Journal. And all of a sudden at the last moment they decide to go to Mexico. It’s going to be build down in Mexico by a big German car company. And Tennessee is great and the people were good. They all thought they had it, and at the last moment, it goes to Mexico. So I said to myself, “Wow, $2.5 billion. And they’re going to make cars and trucks and parts, and they’re going to send them into the United States, no tax, no nothing.”


Now, I told you, I went to the Wharton School of Finance. I was like; I’m like a really smart person. My uncle, Dr. John Trump, was at MIT; one of the smartest people. Great engineer. Great, like you know, smart. Right? For many years he was at MIT.

And I’m saying to myself, “Where does this help us for Ford to build a plant in Mexico and then sell; without tax, no tax?”


All that means is one thing; that we don’t build a plant in the United States, whether it’s in Phoenix or anywhere, because it’s being built in Mexico.

SOMEONE IN THE CROWD YELLS.
MR. TRUMP CONTINUES. Minute 00.49.05:

You are right. That one I like.. (Mr. Trump addressing the sudden participant).

…So I said to myself, “Okay, Jeb Bush is President and he knows this is the wrong thing.”
Right now, we have Obama. He won’t call. He doesn’t even call to get our hostages back from Iran. Here we are in the middle of a deal and he doesn’t call about that. One sentence; I’d say, “Before we start, we’ve got to get those people back. Used to be three, now it’s four. Get those people back.” They’d be back the next hour. 

We need the right messenger. The Iran deal is a disaster. The Iran deal is a disaster. They are begging. Our chief negotiator at 73 is in a bicycle race. He falls and breaks his leg. This is the mentality we have. So I said, “What would Jeb Bush do?”

SOMEONE IN THE CROWD INTERRUPTS AGAIN.
MR. TRUMP CONTINUES. Minute 00.49.57:

You’re right. Benghazi. Another Benghazi. To hear our politicians; John McCain; two days; “Oh, Benghazi!” You don’t hear about it anymore. Hillary Clinton with the emails; “Oh the emails!”; two days.


I’m more disappointed in the Republicans in many ways. They talk and talk and talk. So, Jeb Bush, let’s say he’s President; ay, ay, ay!; so let’s say Jeb Bush is President. He knows it’s no good to have a $2.5 billion plant built right near our country. How does it help us, right?

So here’s what happens. He knows it’s no good. He’ll have a little pressure. Don’t let the plant be built. And he might even say, “Don’t let the plant be built.” Might even call the head of Ford. “The plant’s not going to be built.” And then the next day, he’ll be called by special interests that supported him, his lobbyists who push him around like a piece of candy, or his donors who have stock in Ford. And they’ll say, “You can’t do that. I helped you. You can’t hurt them. You just can’t do it.”
He folds in about two seconds. 

So let me say Trump is President. Let me say Trump. So I don’t need anybody’s money. Actually, people are setting up PACs all over the place. I don’t care. If they want to give it to me, I’ll take it. Okay? But I don’t need money. I don’t want money. So I’m doing my own. You’ll see that on Thursday or whatever the hell day I file. You’ll see I did really well. Much better than anyone ever thought. Just the opposite.
So here’s the story. So Trump is President. So I get a call from the head of Ford and I’ll say, “You got to build in the United States. Sorry.” He’ll say, “But Mr. President, really; we don’t want; “ I’ll say, “Here’s the story. Number one, congratulations on your new plant in Mexico. And number two, we’re going to charge you 35% for every car, truck, and part you send over.”


And here’s what would happen; here’s what would happen. Now, this isn’t like 99% sure. This is 100%. In fact, you know the negotiators; the killers that I told you about; these bad people? I wouldn’t even bother calling them because this is too easy. I can just do this like, you know, with a couple of phones.


So here’s what would happen with Trump. I will get some calls. He will say “Mr. President, this is terrible. Please! Please!” “Sorry, can’t do anything. Sorry, I don’t care. I want you to build here. I want jobs in the United States.” So, they would go and they’d call up the lobbyists…Hey, I hire lobbyists. I have lobbyists all over the place. They’re great. I want something; go do this. I know the system better than anybody.

I’m a donor. Somebody said, “Oh, you gave to the Democrats.” Of course, I give to them. I give to everybody. I want to get everything done. Everybody loves me. Everybody loves; I give to everybody. Now, in a lot of ways, that’s very bad because you know what? That’s bad for the country. You know it’s bad. But that’s the way it works. But I give to everybody; they all love me. They don’t love me so much anymore by the way, I have to tell you.


But here’s what happens. He’ll call. I’d say he folds sometimes prior to 5 p.m. in the evening. But he could be tough and he may last ’till 12 p.m. the following day. And he’ll say “Please” and five guys will call me that are friends of mine and, you know, who I couldn’t care less. I’d say, “No, you don’t understand. I want that plant built in the United States. I want jobs in the United States.”


Now, this is just one of many deals. And here’s what happens. I would probably get a call the first day but maybe the second day because they’re tough negotiators. And he’ll say, “Mr. President, would you reconsider?” I’d say “No.” He’ll say, “Mr. President, we’ve decided to build the plant in Phoenix.” Okay?


It’s so simple. It’s so simple. We have totally incompetent people. Now, some people say they’re bad people. I don’t think they’re that smart to be bad people.
Honestly, I mean, a lot of people get angry when I say I don’t think they’re bad; I think they’re stupid; I think they’re incompetent. So we’ve got to take our country back. We’ve got to get rid of Obamacare. We’ve got to repeal it and replace it with something good. And we have to take care; and I know this doesn’t sound very conservative; we’ve got to take care of everybody, not just the people up here. We’ve got to take care of everybody. Okay? Get used to it, conservatives. I love you, conservatives. Get used to it. Let’s take care of everybody, please?


And by the way, Obamacare doesn’t. And if you look at the premiums, the premiums are going through the roof. The deductibles; frankly, you have to get hit with a Komatsu tractor in order to use them, they’re so high. We can do it. You get rid of state lines. You put it out. You’ll have great care for much less money. The country will spend much less, and we will take care of those people that can’t do it. We have to, we have to, we have to! 

We have to build up our military. I’m in the real estate business, as many of you have heard. You’ll see that in a couple of days, by the way. I’m in the real estate business and all the time I get listings of bases for sale; a naval, an army base, a marine. There are all these bases. I said “How many bases are there?” All the time I’m getting these listings for bases. I said, “What are we doing?” We are hated throughout the world. China is building in the South China Sea islands. We can’t do that because we would not be able to get an environmental impact statement. Can you believe? We’d go through 25 years of being sued by the environmentalist.

And by the way, I’d hate to say this. I’ve been given many, many environmental awards. I get a lot of environmental awards. But we have to take back the heart of our country. We have to do something special. We have to bring back; and let me tell you, in bringing back our military, in bringing back our military, we have to do something else. We have to take care of our veterans, because our veterans -CROWD APPLAUDS- are treated like their third-class citizens and they are the greatest.


Now, if you remember a few days ago, Bush was asked the simplest question “Was Iraq a good thing or a bad thing?” He couldn’t give an answer. Took him five days before he said it was bad. Now, think of this. Think of this. Five days. How can you have a guy like that negotiating for you? Five days it took him and finally he said it was bad. Okay? He could have done it in the first three seconds. But it took him five days. And if you think about it, we spent $2 trillion, lost thousands of lives; thousands. We have wounded warriors who I love all over the place. All over. Amazing, I mean, amazing people. So we have wounded warriors all over. We got nothing.
And today, Iraq is meeting with Iran to do some kind of merger. So in 2004, in Reuters; anyone from Reuters back there? I’m sure they are. There’s an article in July of 2004: “Trump said don’t invade Iraq”.


Now, I am more for the military and I am the most militaristic person in this room. I would have a military that’s so strong that we would never have to use it because people would say “No way we’re messing with them. No way we’re messing with them.” And I’d get along with Putin and I’d get along with China. You know, China; largest bank in the world is in China. They’re my tenant. I just renewed their lease. Who speaks worse about China than me? No, I do it out of respect. But China, they just renewed their lease. “We would never move to a build other than your building.” They love it. But it’s called respect. It’s called respect. They respect smart things, smart people, smart deals. They have no respect for our country.


So with Bush, if you people go with Bush, you’re going to lose.

I’ll tell you one other thing and we’re going to wrap it up now, but I’ll tell you something. And this will be surprising to a lot of people. Thousands and thousands of people work for me. Tens of thousands. I’ve give tens of thousands; I’ve taken care of education, for families. I’ve taken care of health care at the highest level. I didn’t even have to worry about Obamacare because my people do better. My people got lucky but I got lucky too; they’re great people.
But ISIS will be in such trouble. Oh!. ISIS!. ISIS, believe me, they will be in such trouble.
You know the problem; have to say this. So we’re fighting wars and we’re backing all these stupid people that; honestly, I don’t say they’re stupid. They don’t care. Like the Iraqis. They don’t; they have no love for the country.


The leadership; there is no leadership but let’s assume there is; they’re all thieves. They’re all terrible people. 100% corrupt. 

So we send to one of our so-called allies 2,300 Humvees. Now, think of it. Normally, you’d send like three. How many are here? We send three. They’re armor-plated Humvees. You can imagine what they cost. They don’t even report because it’s probably so high that it’s another scandal like the $500 billion website for Obamacare, which never worked and still doesn’t work. So we send 2,300 Humvees. One bullet is fired in the air, and the people we gave the Humvees to flee and the enemy takes them over. And they’re better than the ones that our boys and women have. Because they were the best, they’re gone in one day.


Remember Yemen, how we had the victory? The big victory? It turned out to be a false victory because a few months later it was gone.


If you think that those people; if you think that they want Yemen, take a look at a map with that long beautiful border along Saudi Arabia. They want the oil. Do you remember what I said; and I get a lot of credit for this. They said, “He’s the one guy”; and I’m a very militaristic guy; “but he’s the one guy that said don’t do Iraq because you’ll destabilize it and then Iran will take over and then somebody else worse than than Saddam Hussein will take over the rest. ISIS; hey, Saddam Hussein was never as bad as these people. These people are brutal. They’re chopping off everybody’s heads, especially if you happen to be Christian. They chop off your head. They dunk people with a cage. Did you see that? They dunk them and drown them. These people make Saddam Hussein look like a choir boy. Okay? And I said this in 2004.


Okay, now Bush goes in and he makes a mistake. And then Obama; frankly, we might as well have stayed there; but he made a mistake too. And I said, “Keep the oil.” Do you remember that? And everyone said, “You can’t keep the oil. This is a sovereign country. You can’t keep the oil.”
I said, “Keep the oil. We’re in there now. You blew it. You shouldn’t have gone in.”
And every other candidate is fleeing. They’re all trying to say, “Well, they didn’t know. There was intelligence that said this.” They all said “Do it.” I’m the only one that said no. I’m the only one that said “No.” “Keep the oil,” I said. I’ve been saying this for two, three years. “Don’t leave. Keep the oil. Because if you don’t get it, Iran will get it or somebody else is going to get it.”

…Iran is taking it and ISIS has it. And ISIS now is building a hotel in Iraq. They’re competing with me. Can you believe it? They’re renovating this building; they’re building a hotel. They’re wealthy. They have the oil. And I said, “Keep it.” And great criticism. “Trump says keep the oil. Well, that’s a sovereign country. Isn’t it a horrible thing to say?” These are stupid people we have leading us. So ISIS, believe me, I would take them out so fast, it would be; have to do it, have to do it.


See? I think they overplayed their hand. I actually think they made a big mistake.


When they started, like you take James Foley. So great. Such a great guy. I got to know his parents…I met the parents; they’re very interesting… They did the beheading and then they’ve done other; I said, “You know, they’re making a big mistake, ISIS, because if they wouldn’t have done and if they wouldn’t keep doing, we wouldn’t have cared. We could have been gone. But you can’t, not when you see what they’re doing, you can’t.” Had they not done those things, the level of violence; we’re like living in Medieval times. You know, when you hear of Medieval time, you always think we were all civilized. It’s a jungle. It’s horrible out there. But when they started doing the beheadings, they really; I think they made a mistake but not with Obama because he’s weak and he’s ineffective and he’s not respected. Not respected.


So here’s the problem. Here’s the kind of deals we make: James Foley is dead. Great guy. Amazing guy. Amazing parents. We have Sergeant Bergdahl, a traitor. So we negotiate for Sergeant Bergdahl, a no-good traitor. Six people were killed trying to find him. Six young in this case men went out to try to get him; six of them never came back. Six people died and we have Sergeant Bergdahl.


And here’s our deal. This is just like the stupid deal that we’re making with Iran on nuclear. This is just like everything else we do; the deals we make with China, the deals we make with Mexico. We don’t know what we’re doing. So we get Bergdahl, a no-good traitor. Frankly, I’d re-negotiate deals every once in a while. Not too often but I’d send him back, and if they don’t want him, send him back anyways. I want to renegotiate that. They get five killers that are right now back on the battlefield, trying to kill everybody, including the people in this room. And these were the five people that they most wanted.


So I call Obama the five-for-one President. Who would make that deal? Now, I don’t think it’s because he’s a bad person…Who would make a deal like this?
But these are the same deals that we make with all of these countries;

When I look at Japan, I just go over from Los Angeles. We had a tremendous crowd there too. We had a tremendous crowd. And we had a big one in Las Vegas this morning.  But when I look at these massive boats, I’ve never seen boats like this; the biggest boats with cars coming from Japan. And then we can’t sell corn. We can’t sell beef. It’s peanuts. We can’t sell beef.  So we do about 20% to their 100%. 


So I said it in an idea on the way over. I said, “Tell Japan that’s okay. Everything’s fine. We’re going to cut your orders down to 20%. Let it match.” Let it match. Simple deal. Simple deal. 


And I had another idea that’s also very simple. When Mexico...; and you remember when Fidel Castro took over, the opened his prisons and he sent everybody over to the United States and we accepted them and it was hell. We didn’t send them back. We accepted them.  In a much, much, much more sophisticated way, Mexico is doing that to us because why would they want to have a prisoner like these two horrible people that hurt so badly; destroyed; but hurt so badly the Shaw family and Kate’s family. Why would they want to have them in jail for 40 years, paying for it? 


So I had an idea…The one with Kate came over five times. In my opinion, he was pushed out by Mexico. They don’t want him. They don’t want to take care of him. Why would they want to take care of him? 


And believe me, Univision, which I’m suing by the way for $500 million because they broke the contract, but Univision is doing the work of the Mexican government.  And I don’t blame them actually. I respect Mexico. I don’t blame the Mexican government. I just wish our people were smart. 
Like they’re really smart doing that. They’re sending them to us and we’re either putting them in jails or letting them go free, which is even worse.  But we have to do something. So, I have an idea. I said every time an illegal comes to this country through the border because Mexico was pushing them over, remember that. And by the way, unbelievable people are coming. A lot of people that are illegal are great people. 


Just let’s get it straight; they don’t want to give it straight because the press are liars. They’re terrible people - CROWD APPLAUDS. They’re terrible people. Terrible. Not all of them but many of them. 


So here’s an idea. So, Mexico is sending them. And by the way, they’re coming from all over the world including the Middle East. Why not? Come on in. We’re stupid. We’ll take care of you. We’ll pay. Get sick, we’ll take care of your hospitalization. What kind of a plan do you want?  So I had an idea. I think it’s good. Every time Mexico really intelligently sends people over, we charge Mexico $100,000 for every person they send over. 


Now, they make so much money that that’s peanuts. It’s not a lot. Could have made it much higher but I’m nice. I’m in a good mood today.  We charge Mexico $100,000 for every person. You’ll see that it’ll start to stop because that starts to add up. It starts to add up.  We have to secure our borders. We have to do something to take back our country - CROWD APPLAUDS. 


I mean, don’t kid yourself folks, what took place today, even by the dishonest press, what took place today is being seen all over the world. Look at all those cameras back there. This is being seen all over the world. People know.  

You know, it’s a term I haven’t heard for years but I was thinking about it today.

THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 01.10.39:
Thank you.

MR. TRUMP CONTINUES. Minute 01.10.41:

…It’s a term that I haven’t heard for years but I really think it applies now more than maybe ever before and that’s the term “the silent majority”. Have you all heard that?  You don’t hear it. When people start cutting up their credit cards at Macy’s and won’t go to Macy’s anymore, when all of these things; and that’s a big story but nobody wants to write it. That’s fine. I don’t care about me.  But when you see the kind of power that the silent majority has and the silent majority is a problem. They want to go out. They want to lead a good life. They want to work hard. They want to have their family. They don’t want to be involved in coming here and waiting on a line for hours and hours and coming in and listening to Trump. 


But the silent majority is back, and we’re going to take the country back. And we are going to make America great again! 


Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
