Thank You, Michigan. Thank you. Thank you…-THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP JOINS THE CHANT. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Well, I wanna thank everybody. This is an amazing turnout. This is a record. Outside, we have 4,000 people. You do know that…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No…meaning when I'm finished with you, I'll go see them for a couple of minutes. But you got the prime location…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Great. And you set a record today. [This is the] biggest crowd they've ever had here.
So, a lot of things are happening. The new poll came out, CNN, a couple of days ago. 49 percent for Trump, right? Lightweight Senator…Marco Rubio, 16…-THE CROWD BOOS. Lying senator Ted Cruz 15…-THE CROWD BOOS. Kasich is at six…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. So, uh…that's the new CNN poll. So, I…thought I'd give you that. It's nice! I love those polls when they're good.
Now, if they're no good, I don't report them. People always say, “why do you always talk about the polls?”.
I said, “when you're number one, you talk about them”. If you're number two, three, four, five, six, seven…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. When we had 17 people…; somebody was 17. I wouldn't talk about the poll if I was 17, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. So I just wanna thank everybody. [It’s a] special place. [It’s a] great state. And remember, on Tuesday you have to get out and vote, otherwise we're all wasting time…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You gotta get out and vote. You gotta get out and vote.
I just had another group. We had a fantastic group at a different part. And and they're very much into the world of automobiles, and cars, and, I…actually devoted most of the speech to that, and…what's going on with the car industry, and how Mexico is taking our business away from us, and…-THE CROWD BOOS-…we're not…we're not letting it happen anymore, folks. Japan, Mexico…everyplace…-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. I mean, they're…all they're all taking it away. You know, we're like the people that don't know what they're doing. That's not…gonna happen anymore. It’s not gonna happen anymore…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we had a whole day of that. We had an amazing group, a fantastic…a massive room! And it was packed. It was packed. And, they're all packed, because people are tired of being pushed around. You know, in a certain way, I used to say it's the silent majority, but it's really not a silent majority anymore, you know? It's a very, very noisy…majority…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Very, very noisy.
And you know, the establishment people, the people that lost the last…two elections…and frankly, [they] would’ve lost more than that. I mean they are losing. They are losing a lot. But they…they have no clue. They have no clue. They don't know how to win. They don't know…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU TRUMP!’. I love you too! Even though it's a guy, I love you too…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love you too. I love the people. I love my people! You know…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…we have…; every poll said that Trump has people…they won't leave him; it doesn't make any difference; they love him, and I'll tell you, I love you. And I mean that too. Loyalty…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, some of these people have like a ten percent loyalty, meaning if they sneeze in the wrong direction, they're gone. With me, I think I can do almost anything, and you're with me, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We had a good debate last night! Uh…last night was great. I enjoyed it. I thought it was gonna be even tougher. It was pretty nasty, actually. But, I thought it was even gonna be tougher. You take a deep breath, you walk in, and then you go boom, boom, boom! But…uh…it was…it was really…uh…it was really interesting. And, uh…every one of the polls, every…single…one of them, Drudge and everyone. Drudge is an incredible guy, by the way. But Drudge, and all of them. Every…single…poll…had me winning big league. So, that's good. I like that…-THE CROWD CHEEERS AND APPLAUDS. Don't we love to win? I love to win.
You know, our country does not win anymore. You understand that. And…we don't win with our military, it's depleted. We can't beat ISIS, okay? Can you believe this? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. You know, there was a time when we could beat Germany…; we could beat Japan…; we could beat anybody .Today we can't beat ISIS. Well, that'll change very quickly, I will tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’ll change very quickly. That’s gonna change so quickly…; we're gonna win so much…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.-
So, what I thought I'd do is talk a little bit about trade, because you don't like what's happening. You don't like to see what's happening with your manufacturing businesses in particular. And, it's…and…and…we're not gonna let it happen anymore. And we're not gonna let it happen.
We have trade imbalances that are so ridiculous. With Japan, and China, and…India…everyplace! I mean, it's not a question of a couple of places.
China is the great abuser, you know. They're the best of all, in terms of size…in terms of…magnitude. We have rebuilt China. They have taken our jobs; they've taken our money; they've taken everything. And by the way, just so you understand, I have a great relationship with China! I just extended the lease on the largest bank in the world. The Chinese bank. 400 million customers. Think of that! 400…that's bigger than our country, okay? They're 400…million customers. And…they're great! They're wonderful!
I deal with the Chine…I…I mean, I sell apartments to them, for tens of millions of dollars. I got the Bank of America building in San Francisco, in 1290 Avenue of the Americas; big, big chunks, and…I own that. I own…by the way, I own many, many big jobs. Many, many big buildings. All over the place. We're building all over the world. We have many jobs going on right now. We're signing new deals. Of course a lot of those deals I'll…just have to let my kids handle, I guess…if we win, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Believe me. Because I will have absolutely no interest in those deals. I will only have interest in one thing: making America great again. [It’s] Much more important…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. [It’s] Much more important. [It’s] Much, much more important!
And…and…so, I…I just looked. And you know, it began on June 16th, when I came down the famous escalator ride. And I came down, and I've never seen so many cameras. I always say…I joke, it was like the Academy Awards. I've never seen so many cameras in Trump Tower, in New York. And I made a speech! And I talked about illegal immigration. And…all of a sudden, it became like a storm. It was unbelievable. And it was a tough period, actually, because I had no idea that I hit something…so severely. And…and…that was something…I…I knew it was a big problem, I didn't know to the extent of the problem. It turned out to be a much bigger problem than anyone knew. I was right, a 100 percent. I shot to the top of the polls. And I've been there ever since! I mean, we've been there ever since! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS AND THEN CHANTS ‘BUILD THE WALL!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP CHANTS ALONG.
We will build the wall, believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And who is gonna pay for the wall? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Who!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ AGAIN. A 100 percent. 100 percent…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don't mean like…I don't mean like 99.2 percent. I mean 100 percent…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, we have a trade deficit, with Mexico, of 58 billion dollars a year. We have real geniuses negotiating these deals, right? We lose 58 billion dollars a year. The wall’s gonna cost ten billion dollars. So immediately you say, well, if essentially they're swapping out 58 billion, and if the wall’s gonna cost ten…there aren't too many people that have to be totally genius to know…[that] we are gonna have Mexico pay for the wall!
You know, these…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…these politicians come up here…like lightweight…Marco Rubio…-THE CROWD BOOS. Like lying Ted Cruz…-THE CROWD BOOS. He gets in and he holds up the Bible, and he talks the Bible! And then he…puts the Bible down and then he lies! I never saw a guy like this guy! I called him lying Ted. He's lying Ted Cruz. He can lie about anything!
And you know, it's interesting. The evangelicals, who I love, they got wise to lying Ted Cruz! And you know what!? I have…every single poll now, I'm winning with the evangelicals. I won in…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…I won in South Carolina…! They don't like liars! They don't like liars! There are very smart people. And they're wise to it. So, it's been amazing, cause he was supposed to win in South Carolina. It was 67 percent evangelicals. And…I won in a landslide! And I won with the Evangelicals, substantially too! …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. By a lot! And, in Nevada I won with Evangelicals. I win with Evangelicals! It's been an amazing thing!
So, we had some amazing, wonderful places. I've gotten to know so many parts…New Hampshire. I love New Hampshire, cause that's the start. And, by the way, I made a pledge to New Hampshire. They haven't…[THE AUDIO/VIDEO BREAKS AT THIS POINT (00.09.35) UNTIL 00.09.47].
…and you drive through the roads and the back valleys, and you see these magnificent trees, and everything it’s so beautiful. And there were a couple of days were snowing. I said, “please, don't snow on Election Day. Please! Please!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I looked up, “please, don't let it snow”. And it stopped snowing. Just in time…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And I won that won in a landslide, and it was…uh…it was great. And Nevada! Nevada was won in a landslide.
But, in New Hampshire, so…I made a pledge to them. They have a tremendous…you would look and you'd say, “this can't be possible”. They have a tremendous drug problem, in New Hampshire. It's a heroin problem. And so do you! And, by the way…and by the way, so does the whole country, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. So does the whole country. And I made a pledge to them. And it…it goes for the country. We're gonna stop these drugs from pouring in, and destroying…the lifeblood of our country. We’re gonna stop it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
This is why, when we say, “whoa, we're gonna build a wall”, that's gonna be a real wall. It's gonna be a wall that works. It's gonna be a wall that people aren't gonna come through with their trucks. They drive over! We have walls this big…-MR. TRUMP MARKS A SMALL SIZE. They drive over the wall. Did you ever see the picture of the ramp? They do a ramp! Up, down! Trucks loaded up with drugs, into our country. We get the drugs, they get the cash that it goes back into Mexico. [It’s] not gonna happen anymore, folks. Not gonna happen…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
So, we’re gonna stop it. And we're gonna build a real wall. And you probably saw the…uh…it's gonna be…see that ceiling right…? That ceiling is peanuts. That ceiling is peanut.
Well, you know this story. When…Vincente Fox, right? …-THE CROWD BOOS. He came out…and he used the F word! He used the f-bomb! He threw out the f-bomb. Can you imagine if I did that!? I would be allowed to be here today. It would be a national disgrace. Nobody even called them on it.
He said, “we will not build a you-know-what wall! And we will not pay for the wall”.
Now, it's sort of interesting. His anger was so incredible. And it wasn't because of the wall! It was because somebody was actually telling them that's not gonna happen that way anymore. They're not used to it. Mexico…and all of these other countries!
I have a great relationship with Mexico and the Mexican people. I employ thousands of Hispanics. Thousands! Right now, thousands. Over the year tens of thousands. Over the years. And I understand. These are great people. But their leaders are too smart for our leaders. They're too cunning. They're too quick. We don't know what the hell we're doing! We have people in Washington…that don't…know…what…they're doing.
We have great Border Patrol people…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. And if we had…if we let them do the job, even before the wall gets built, and which is getting built anyway! But if we let them do their job, these are great people!
I went to Laredo, Texas, at the invitation of Border Patrol. And they're devastated. These are great people that wanna do their job! And they're told to stand back. And people will walk right through. Just walk right through! We have no control. And without a border, without strong borders, you don't have a country, folks. You don't have a country. So, we're gonna straighten that out.
But I was interested. When he said that, “we will not pay for that wall!”. The anger on his face…! The anger! And I watched him. And I said, “that anger is not about paying for the wall. It’s that somebody would actually speak back, and would actually look at them and say, ‘well, this is the way it's gonna be’”. Because they're used to think of it. We lose 58…we have a trade deficit of 58…billion, with Mexico.
So, when these lightweights come up to me and they say., “you can't get Mexico to pay for the wall!”, I said, “100 percent!”. I said, “100 percent!”. Not…not 99! I said, “100 percent!”.
They say, “how can you get them?”.
Now, you have to understand. Three months ago they said, “you can't build a wall!”. Now, they're all saying you can. In fact, when FOX was interviewed, he said, “we won't pay for the wall”. He used to say, “we won't let you build a wall”, so we've come a long way. Now, he knows the wall’s gonna be built…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS TIMIDLY.
But as I explained to these…these people…these people that I'm running against. [They’re] Nasty people. They’re nasty! As I explained to little Marco and the other one, I said, “look…”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I said, “Marco…Marco, when you're losing 58 billion, when you have a trade deficit of 58 billion it's really, really, really easy to get a ten-billion-dollar wall built. And they will pay, okay? It's really easy”. But I don't think he understood what I meant, right? We understand.
So, it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. But we need somebody…we need somebody that's done great in business. And…and, we need somebody with a business instinct. And…and…believe me, we need it bigger…bigger than…that's one example!
We have now…19…trillion dollars in debt. 19…nobody even knows what that means. 19…trillion dollars. We have the…we have the greatest business people in the world in our country. We don't use them to negotiate trade deals. And they're dying to do it! They're dying to do it! They call me! Carl Icahn, a great…great guy. Uh…Carl Icahn, we have…we have others! The…best in the world. They wanna do it. They don't want money, they don't wanna be paid…; right now we have political hacks…negotiating the biggest deals.
When China negotiates, they have waves of people! All the smartest people. They put their smartest people…negotiate with the United States. [They] drain them off their money. Drain them off their jobs. Bring the jobs back to China, and I'm not knocking China! I think China's great! But…again! They're too smart. I want our leaders to be the same way. I want our leaders to do that. So, we're not knocking them…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, the anger of all of us is not with China…! And is not with Mexico…! The anger…is with our leaders! Cause we have people that don't know what the hell they're doing! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. They don't know what they're doing. They don't have a clue.
Look at the Iran deal, where we pay a 150…billion…dollars for the worst deal I've ever seen in my life…-THE CROWD BOOS. We pay 150 billion dollars…we get nothing…; those prisoners should have been back years ago. We should have gone in…; okay, here's Trump, right?
 I say…let's say I took over that deal. First of all, and it's for…do you ever see a deal took so long!? So, let's say three or four years ago, I go in [and] I say, “fellas, before we start negotiating, you have to let the prisoners. [You] gotta let them go. You don't want them. We do want them. It'll make it easier for us to make a deal. You gotta let them go”.
Now, the Persians are great negotiators. They really are. All…through history, the Persia. Persian got…negotiators have been great. I’d say, “you gotta let them go”.
They'll say, “no”.
And you know what you do? You stand up, “bye, bye! Bye, everybody! Enjoy your stay! See you soon”. And you leave! And you leave!
Then you go out and you double up the sanctions. You now double up the sanctions. You choke them with the sanctions, right? And within 24 hours you're gonna get a call, “you've got the prisoners. Come on back. Please, negotiate”.
When the prisoners land, they're on our soil, I would hit them with the second point, “you know the 150 billion, fellas? We don't have it! We owe 19…trillion…dollars! We can't give you 150 dollars. We love you! We love you! We think you're the greatest in the world. We really wanna help you, but, we cannot give you…”;
I…see? My father told me that. I learned from my father. He used to say, “you're too rough. You're too tough. You don't have to be that tough”. He'd probably like me to be a little bit softer in the debates…actually, I'm thinking about…; maybe we’ll be a little bit softer on…on little Marco. Little Marco…-THE CROWD BOOS AND YELLS ‘NO!’. You’d…no!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’ AGAIN. But that means you disagree with my father That's no good! We can't do that!
But my father used to have a thing. He’d say, “Donald, darling…”, he loved me. He really loved me. He’d say, “Donald, take the lumps out! Take the lumps out! Be softer. Just don't tell them ‘no!’. Just soft”.
So, here's what my father would say, “fellas, we’re bust. We have no money. We owe 19 trillion dollars. We wanna give you the money, but we don't have it. So, we're not gonna be able to give you the 150 billion dollars, okay?”.
Now, I understand my father, because that way, you know, they…they'll get angry, but not as angry. [Do you] See? Here's what I would…have used to said if I didn't have a good teacher, my father, I would have said, “we're not giving you the 150 billion dollars!”. And they'd be so furious, [that] it would take them a while to recover.
This way we say, “fellas, we don't have it.”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. “We owe…we owe 19 trillion. We owe 1.7 trillion to China! We owe 1.5 trillion to Japan!”. How do you like that?
They come in, they sell their cars, [and] we owe them money. I mean, think of it. They sell us cars, they take over our businesses, and we owe them money. The whole thing is so crazy. It's gonna change, folks! It's gonna change! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, what would happen in the Iran deal is then we…now we have our prisoners back. Now, after a few days, they'll get used to the fact that they're not getting the 150 billion, because…you would have done two walks. You would have walked in the prisoners, and you would have walked when they got angry about the 150 billion. But, again! You go back, and now you negotiate a deal, okay? Now, you know…cause…on nuclear it's a good thing to negotiate a deal. We’ll…but we'll make a much better deal than they make, cause that deal is horrible. We lost every…single…point.
Like…sergeant Bergdahl! We have a spy. We have a traitor. He's a traitor! He's a terrible traitor. He left! He was all into what their life. I don't think he likes their life so much anymore. They treated him pretty rough. I'd like to take that guy, I'd like to fly him over, drop him right back where he came from, I'll tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But…but, think of it. Think of it. Bergdahl…;
So, we knew he was a traitor. We lost five, and maybe six people. [They] got killed. Young, beautiful soldiers, [who] got killed looking for him, right? We had a general and a colonel interviewing…he…the people he worked with. They knew he was a traitor!
So, you know, it's one thing like…we didn't know, which is bad if we didn't know, but you can understand that. But we knew he was a traitor when we were negotiating. So, we get Bergdahl, a dirty rotten traitor, right? A[MOU1] nd they get five of the people they most coveted. They get five…of these killers, who will soon be back in the battlefield, already are, some of them, trying to kill everybody, including us, right?
This is the way we negotiate! [It’s] Not gonna happen anymore. Those days…are gone. Those days are gone. Those days are gone.
So, I just wanna tell you that, uh…so many changes are gonna be made. We're gonna be like the smart country. Not the stupid country, cause right now people look at us. We're like the big bully that gets beat to hell all the time…-THE CROWD CHEER AND APPLAUDS. And…we're not gonna let that…go.
So, what we're gonna do, and I'll tell you just briefly, because…I know you're hot as hell in this room. By the way, this room does not have lots of air conditioning, do we agree? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. Huh? Well, it wasn't even built for this crowd. You know, this…room was built for what? Basketball. Yeah! Basket….nice little basketball, but it wasn't built…; this is your old time record crowd in the history of this room, and it will never be broken…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’ll never be broken.
But, we're gonna do a lot of things. Number one: we're gonna terminate…we're gonna absolutely terminate and replace Obamacare. It’s gonna be great. It’s a disaster…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You’re having increases of…25, 35, 45…percent. And you don't get coverage like you were supposed to get. And you don't have your doctor, by the way, and you don't have your plan. You will lied to. It's gonna be terminated, and it's gonna be replaced with something that's gonna be terrific and a lot less expensive. And much better coverage, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. we're gonna get rid of Common Core. We're gonna educate your kids locally…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We are going to educate your children locally. [He] just screamed…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A MAN IN THE CROWD-… ‘where have you been!?”, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Where's the guy? There’s my guy, with that beautiful beard! Look at that beard! So, ‘where have you been is right’. ‘Where have you been?’.
You know, it's almost like…it's such common sense! Somebody said, “Donald Trump is a conservative, but he's not conservative on certain things”. I am a conservative! But it's called common sense conservative! As an example…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…if China…is charging our companies tax, and making it impossible for you, people, to sell your goods, and you have great manufacturers here…in China, and yet they sell their goods in…from China to here, with no tax no prohibitions, just ‘dump your stuff on us’, what good does that do!? And that's why we're losing 505…billion…dollars, okay?
So, we have to call it…we want smart trade. I want…I'm a free trader! I…if everyone wants free trade…that's a different story, I'm okay with it. But it's not free trade! It's not free trade when they don't have to pay tax, right? And we have to pay tax to get our goods in. It's not free trade…when in order to buy planes from Boeing…Boeing has to build massive plants over in China, to build planes! And you know what they're gonna do! Those plants will be…those…those plants will be built. And then China will devalue its currency. They're the greatest…they like Grandmaster chess players. And all of a sudden, Seattle, South Carolina…and I love South Carolina, cause they gave me such an incredible victory two, three weeks ago…! They gave me…-THE CROWD CHEERS. And we're gonna protect them.
And I've been telling them. You have those nice new Boeing plants? But they're building bigger plants over in China! And when those plants are built…when those plants are built…; and then they say, “listen, we're gonna devalue…”, and then all of a sudden, South Carolina and Seattle are and building planes anymore. You're gonna see! But that's not gonna happen if I'm president. I can tell you right now. I can tell you right now…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we need smart trade. I don't even call it fair trade anymore. I call it smart trade. We need smart trade. We can't have dumb trade. We have dumb trade right now. It's called…free market. I'm for a free market, but…the markets aren't free. If you look at what's going on with the valuations in…in Japan! It's unbelievable what they're doing. Devaluation…!
You look at Komatsu tractors compared to Caterpillar tractors! Caterpillar is having a very hard time! Because they devalue the end to such an extent, that it's very hard for Caterpillar to compete with some of these companies, in particular Komatsu…a company called Komatsuª
Then you see Carrier…move…to Mexico! You saw. That three weeks ago, right? It was all over, cause somebody had their cell phone on. These cell phones are wonderful sometimes, right? But these cell phones are wonderful…but they showed…the devastation of 1,400 people…that just lost their jobs! And I'll tell you what: you may not call it free trade, but if I'm president, I'm gonna call up the head of Carrier, and I know it's not presidential to do! But I don't need all of these great guys that I will have negotiating…cause it's too easy! It's just too easy! It's very unpresidential.
A president Trump calling for the…head of Carrier air-conditioner. And I would say very…-SOMEBODY FROM THE CROWD YELLS ‘ROMNEY’-…oh, Romney doesn't know it. Romney…this poor guy! He is so confused…! …-THE CROWD BOOS.
Here's a guy…by the way, thank you for mentioning that. Here's a guy…Mitt Romney doesn't have a clue. This poor guy. I watched him yesterday. And the Internet is exploding! “what's he doing!?”;  “He's making a fool out of himself…!”.
I watched him yesterday, and it was sad. By the way, I have a huge business. They only wanna talk about little things, you know? And many of the things that he mentioned, they're still going! He talked about water! He talked about different…things…! I have it…it's all over the place! But, I'll tell you what: I watched…Mitt…Romney yesterday, and this is the problem with the…Republican Party.
He…choked! He should have won the election. [He] should have won it easily. He was running against a failed president. That was an election…and I backed him! I gave him money…; I did everything for him…; [a] very loyal guy. I backed him, and he lost! He lost! And he lost big! He didn't lose close! He lost big! He didn't inspire people! They stayed home. If people would have gotten out to vote…;
Now, since I've been involved….I don't know if you've been seeing, the biggest story in all of politics is what's happening to the Republican Party. And I'm getting zero credit for it. And I should get all,  because they're not coming in for little Marco, that I can tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Millions of people are coming to vote! Millions and millions of people…are coming to vote…for the Republicans, and joining the Republican Party, because of me! Because of me! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And if I ever left, they would go away as fast as I would, they would go away! Because they want common sense. They want intelligence. They don't want this stupidity that they've seen for the last long period of time. And…the biggest story in all of politics! One of the biggest stories periods on the cover of Time magazine…this week!
You know, I've been on the cover of Time magazine so many times it'll last 3, 4 months! It's like almost like…am I on the cover of Time this week? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. The biggest story, and the best story I've…I’ve…almost ever had…three or four weeks ago the cover of Time magazine wrote a story about us. All of us. Together. It's a movement. It's a movement. And they described it so…beautifully![MOU2] 
The writer…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…the writer was amazing. They described it so...beautifully; so…incredibly. And…I…I…I’m on the cover this week. Actually, it's the same writer, and it's a good story. But the one that really hit the pay dirt was the one from three, or four weeks ago, cause they were describing….a movement…that is so incredible! That's never happened before. That's never happened before. And one of the biggest things, in all of politics for many, many decades, is what's going on with this sleepy…old…party. The GOP, where we were losing, losing, losing…; where structurally it was almost impossible to beat Hillary Clinton, which I'll go easily. Easily. Easily…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And millions of people are voting…and millions, and millions of people are voting in the Republican Party! And you know where they're coming from? They’re Democrats that are switching over, and they’re independents! And this hasn't happened for years!
And I will tell you. I will take 100 percent credit for it, because that's the story. They're coming over to vote for us! To vote for us! I'll take the credit with you, because they're coming over to be with us and to vote for us. The enthusiasm…!
One guy said…that…uh, today…[he] was actually a very good pundit. Smart. And he was a Democrat. And they said, “let me tell you, we don't know what's with this Trump guy. But we're concerned. We never saw anything like this”. Millions of people are coming over!
You look at what happened in South Carolina , where we had so many more people voting! So many more people are voting for the Republicans! What!? …-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. Get him out of here. Get him out. Get him out…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. These people…
He’s a friend…he's a friend of Mitt Romney! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But millions of people, millions and millions of people, are coming out, and they're voting Republican now instead of Democrat. And nobody's ever seen a movement like this. So, it's a great thing. It is a movement, folk. It's an incredible movement, and it's a great thing…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you.
I wanna…by the way, I just watched that, and…and I wanna thank our police officers. We have great, great people…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…they don't…get…the credit…they should get. They don't get the credit they should get.
You know, you'll have one incident, which is a bad incident, maybe it was a mistake, maybe it was a bad apple…who the hell knows! But it's on the news for weeks, and weeks! And they don't stop! Our police officers are incredible, and without them, we wouldn't be here right now, believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And by the way, I have such support. I think it's unanimous support across the country, from the police. And, I just appreciate them very much.
Also our vets. We've gotta take care of our vets! We've gotta take care of our vets! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, we had an interesting day. The debate was great. Uh…Mitt is a failed candidate. This is a guy who failed, failed, failed. [He] didn't know what to do. [he] doesn't know what to do. It's a sad case. But he's a…a choker! He just choked! He choked! He choked…almost as bad, probably worse, than Marco Rubio, when Chris Christie…who endorsed me, by the way; when Chris Christie went after him in the last debate, [the] previous.
I never saw…I'm standing here, and I'm looking at Marco…-MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS RIGHT-…and I'm saying, “is he okay?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And I see the sweat, pouring…! And Chris is going at him. And Marco, you know, he’s got that little flippant mouth, but a lot of times it doesn't work under pressure…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And Marco is sweating, he’s pouring down…; and then he repeats himself once, twice…three times! I said…after the third time I said, “wow, what's going on?”. Four times! And then a fifth time! And I thought he was going down for the count! And I was ready to go…cause I want to show off, you know, what a good athlete I am. I want to show the size of my hands, how I could grab him…-THE CROWD CHEERS. How I could grab him! I could grab that guy…like nothing! Boom! Pull him up!
And I didn't want him to get hurt, hitting his head when he went down! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But this is not what we need when we negotiate against China…! and Putin…! And all of these killers, all right? It's not what we need. So, anyway.
But…but…-THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD. APPARENTLY, IT IS A PROTESTER. Get him out of here! Get him out. Get him out of here. Get him out.
Are these rallies the most fun of everybody!? Right? Do we have the most fun!? Do we have the most fun!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. All right, get him out of here. Get him out. Get him out! So disruptive! Remember when Bernie Sanders…they took the mic away from him? That's not gonna happen with us, folks! That’s not gonna happen! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Remember that? He walked away from the mic and he stood back! And he watched these two young girls talking to the audience. And they said, “we came to listen to him!”. And he was standing in the back as two women took the mic away. No, that doesn't happen to us. Get that guy out of here! Get him out! Get that guy out of here! Get him out of here! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Get him out!
 I think you should arrest him. Do you like him? I think he should be arrested…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Arrested! I think he should be arrested, for what he just did. And for the fresh mouth he's got. I would arrest him, officer. So I don't wanna give any recommendation officer, [but] I would arrest him for a filthy, dirty mouth…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And then we'll see what his mommy and daddy say when they have to go and bail him out…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So what we do…look. So, what we do is, we take care of Obamacare, it's out. We take care of Common Core, it's out. We build up our…and we totally build up our depleted military. And nobody is gonna mess with us. Nobody is gonna mess with us…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nobody, nobody is gonna mess!
We're gonna knock out ISIS so fast, folks, [that] your head’s gonna spin . Your head is going to spin! ISIS will be gone so fast…!
Can you imagine…General…Douglas…MacArthur, the great…Douglas MacArthur. Or George…how about George…? How about George Patton!? These guys right now, they're spitting in their grave! They don't believe what's going on.
How about the unpredictability? We have a president that gets up and he said, “we will attack them here. We are then going to leave! We're gonna leave here; we're gonna leave that…”.
This guy gets up and tells everything we're ever gonna do! How about a couple of months ago? He said, “we're sending 50 people over to Iraq or to Syria”, right? …-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. “We're sending 50 people”.
Now, by saying that, he's just put a target. You know, they're being looked at. And watched. They will…you know, we're not dealing with a stupid enemy. They are looking for those 50 people like you wouldn't believe. Why can't he just keep his mouth shut!? And send you 50 people…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…or send your hundred people, but don't put a target on their back!
We…need…unpredictability with our military. We can't have our generals talking! Every time I turn on…I have a general talking, saying what we should do! How we should do it! What we're going to do…! Or we have a president saying, “we're sending troops here! And then they're gonna go there…!”.
Why is it anybody's knowledge? Why is it anybody's business? Why do we have to tell the enemy? We wanna go…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…and in a stealth way, we wanna knock the hell out of ISIS, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. And we'll do it!
We wanna take care of our vets! Our vets are being treated worse than the illegal immigrants, that were not letting in this country anymore! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
The migration, the Sirians…you look, and there's so many young, strong men! So many young, strong men. And you say, “what's going on? Where are the women and the children?”. And they're there, but not very many! We can't allow them to come into our country. We don't know who they are…; we don't know anything about them. They could be ISIS. It could be the great Trojan horse. We can't allow them to come in.
We'll build a safe zone, a free zone, but a safe zone in Syria. And we'll get…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY-…the Gulf states to pay for it! Cause we can't pay! We don't have the money to pay! We have to rebuild our country! We have to rebuild the infrastructure…of our country! Our country is going to hell as we spend trillions, and trillions of dollars…in places…they don't want us!
Look at Iraq. We spent two trillion dollars in Iraq. Two trillion. What did we get? Nothing! Nothing! We spent two trillion, thousands of lives…wounded warriors all over the place, who we all love. I love…these are…stronger than all of us put together. Some of these…young, great soldiers, with no legs, no arms…with worse! And these people have an attitude that's better than all of us. What did we get!?
So, we have two trillion spent…we could’ve…rebuilt up most of our country with that. We have two trillion spent, right? We have…absolutely…we have thousands of lives lost; young, wonderful people. Wounded warriors all over the place. We have nothing!
And you know what happens? Iran is taking over Iraq. It's…it’s already done! It's done! Iraq has the second-largest oil reserves in the world. Some of the finest oil in the world. They have the second largest…; we made it possible…for Iran to go in and take over Iraq! What the hell are we doing!?
Now, we shouldn't have been there. But Obama should have never gotten out the way he got out. What a disaster! He gives the exact date! “We are going to be leaving…Iraq…in 18 months”, and then he spells out the exact time.
So the enemy naturally pulls back. “What do we have to fight for?”. They pull back, we leave, and they just go in, and…take the place…; so, we can't even call…Iraq now.
So, with all of this money, all of these lives, all of this bloodshed, we end up with…nothing! Do you remember that I said, “keep…the oil?”…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
Do you remember that? And I said that for a long time! “Keep the oil”. I didn't wanna go in, but once we went in…when we were going out, I said, “keep the oil”. You know, we used to have an expression: to the victor belong the spoils…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're the only country that fights, we knocked the hell out of a country, and we leave! You say, “what do we get?”. What are we doing? What are we doing? We’re nation-building. Why are we nation-building over there!? We want a nation build over here! We wanna rebuild our country! We wanna rebuild our country! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, I said, because I knew the power of that, and I knew the kind of uh…the kind of reserves they had! Nobody even knows that! Nobody knows that Iraq has…among the largest…oil reserves in the world! So, I said, “keep the oil”. And I said it strongly. And I said it loudly. And I said it loud enough that they actually had a couple of generals come out and say, “well, we disagree with Mr. Trump”. Why? Tell me why. Why do you disagree? They disagreed because, politically, they disagreed. And they were told to say what they said.
So, I said, “keep the oil”. Well, you know who has the oil right now? ISIS and Iran! Okay? And the stuff they don't have, they will very shortly have. Because Iran wanted to merge or wanted to knock out that country for many, many, many, many years! Forever! And now we made it possible!
They had two militaries that were of the same strength. They'd fight! And fight! And fight! And fight! Then they'd rest. Then they'd fight, and fight. Nothing would happen. They'd go ten feet, ten feet, ten feet…nothing would happen.
So we obliterate the one military. [We] Just totally obliterate it. And now…you know, I used to say, the greatest deal I've ever seen…was the deal recently made…with Iran in the United States, where they got the 150 billion dollars that we get nothing, okay? That's not the greatest deal.
The greatest deal is they got Iraq. They got Iraq. They got the second-largest oil reserves that we handed them on a silver platter .
Now, let me tell you a little secret, cause I'm very good at this stuff. I mean, I really have…I just…for some reason, I've been very good at prognosticating. They're in Yemen! And they don’t want Yemen. But Yemen has this very…long border, with a place called Saudi Arabia. And they wanna go and get the…oil in Saudi Arabia.
So what's gonna happen…what's going to happen is, very simple, mark my words. So, I’m…I've been saying the oil for years. And by the way, all of a sudden we started…not taking the oil, [but] bombing the oil. Now, it was okay to bomb the oil, because we wanna get in there. And then you get Exxon, Mobil and some of these great companies. Within about 12 seconds, they'll have it rebuilt that it'll be just fine, with brand new stuff, right? And we take the oil. But that…we didn't use it. We didn't do that.
What happened is we had a catastrophe called Paris. And when Paris happened, people said, “wow! This is getting really, really serious”. Radical…Islamic…terrorism.
Then we had in…California happened. The 14 people. The two…people. They became…she…probably radicalized him. Something happened. And they killed their co-workers. People that through them parties, for their baby. We kill them. And, we've gotta get smart, folks! We've gotta be vigilant. We've gotta be smart. We've gotta be great again. We're not great. We'll laugh that throughout the world. We can be great again. We can be so great again.
I see it. I see it with the people. I meet with people! They're so incredible. I wanna see Apple…making their iPhones in this country! I don't want them made in China! I want them made in this country! And we're gonna have that! And we're gonna have that! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUIDS.
So…so, I just finished by saying this: we haven't won in a long time. We don't win with our military. We can't. We don't. We're not have the right leadership. Probably at a military level, but certainly at a presidential level, we don't have the right leadership. We can't beat ISIS, right? We can't beat ISIS. That's gonna happen so fast! You're gonna see something so fast…! And a lot of it is attitude. You know that. A lot of it is attitude.
But we're gonna win with our military. We're gonna win on trade. We're gonna win on the borders. We're gonna win so much, folks! We're gonna win, and win, and win! I sometimes joke. I say, “we're gonna win so much that you, people, are gonna get so tired of winning…! You're gonna say, ‘Mr. President, Mr. President, we can't stand winning anymore! Please, give us at least a couple of losses!’. And you know what I'm gonna say? No way! No way! We're gonna make America great again! No way!” So…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
So, I just wanna thank you, and I…I have to leave it at this. Look: you have to do…and by the way, this was a long drive to get up here! My people said, “oh, I think you could skip that one of you one”. I said, “there's no way I'm skipping it, all right?”. Can you imagine? …-THE ROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Can you imagine?[MOU3] 
This was a little bit of a long drive, and I loved it. And it’s beautiful. And I wouldn't have missed it for the world. And you, people, are great. But listen. You have to do this: you have to go out on Tuesday. You have to go out…and vote. You have to go out. I don't want your money. I'm self-funding. I'm putting up my own money. I'm not gonna be subject like these guy. They're controlled by every guy that gives them money. I'm not controlled by anybody. I'm controlled by you. I don't want your money.
What you have to do is, on Tuesday, go out and vote, and we will make America great again. I love you. I love you, Michigan. I love you. I love you! Thank you! Thank you very much!
