Wow…Wow wow wow! Thank you.
 
Wow what a group!
 
You know? Sometimes it works. I said to my folks:  ‘announced the size of the crow’. Because you know, you set the all-time record. They say ‘1800 people’ and I said ‘how were the other candidates?’… they said, ‘well, Bush had 320, and most of the others were in the hundreds’ and we have 1800, so give yourself a nice applause. Wow! It's a largest crowd they've had here and it's just an honor.
 
You know, there is something going on that's been amazing. I talked about the silent! Majority, a term that you haven't heard for a long time, because we have not been heard for a long time, but we're being heard now. Big league, big league!
 
I wanted to show you something…and it is sort of interesting cause you wake up, you pick up the papers, you read the papers…and you know, I've been saying the press is very dishonest, right? …not all of it! There they are. Look! Always live television… -CROWD LAUGHS.
 
I've been repeating this…all… every time I go on…it's live television. Other guys go there's no television I have a couple of reporters and that's fun… and they give a speech… they mostly read it or they use teleprompters. And that way you don't get yourself in trouble, there is something about it, right? And you know, I say you shouldn't be allowed to use teleprompters cuz you have to test people's intelligence if you need to tell a teleprompter…you know how easy it is? No, no! … do you know how easy it is? you stand there and you read a teleprompter… I don't know someday I'm gonna be doing it I guess; you know?
 
But the press… and some of it's been terrific, some of the political coverage has been very honest, honorable people that I've met, some great journalists. But some is so dishonest…a big chunk of it. 50 60 per cent it's a pretty big chunk.
 
So I wake up this morning… and New York Times! And I love the New York Times! It's great. But I see a story on the front page… I'm in the front page. I'm always in the front page of the New York Times? Now, we’re gonna set a record for that too… like almost every day. So… do you mind if I put on my glasses? Does anybody mind? You know, it's very… the print gets smaller and smaller and smaller as they lose more and more money. It's tough… it's true.  Remember how big… do you remember how big those pages used to be? Now it's supposed to be like a tabloid, you know, read it this way – HE FLIPS OVER THE NEWSPAPER-…  but these things used to be massive… now they're not so big. But it's still the New York Times… and we still love the New York Times! It's a different bent. Editorially they kill us all. They don't agree with us. But that's okay.
 
So I pick up… ‘Trump gets earful in Spanish as Latino outlets air disdain’ and I'm just saying… what does that mean? – CROWD LAUGHS.
 
And they start off… now think this is the front page. And you know, especially if you come from New York. When you're in the front page that means like a lot…to me… of the New York Times? That's a lot. So it talks about a… you know the whole thing I had with the Spanish journalist. If you call him a journalist…I don't actually, he’s a he's an advocate for lots of things. So they say here, this is a different person, front page, Ricardo Sanchez, known as ‘el mandril’ , for his spanish Drivetime radio show in Los Angeles, has taken to calling Donald J Trump ‘el hombre del pelouquin’… -MEANING ‘PELUQUÍN’ IN SPANISH-,  in other words, the man of the toupee. This is on the front page of New York Times! I don't wear a toupee. It's my hair! I swear! Come here! –TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEONE IN THE CROWD- come here! come here! Come here…I'm gonna… we're gonna settle this. You know, Barbara Walters did it. Barbara Walters named me the… ‘boast whatever it is of the year’…just come on up here. They're gonna let you. I just… you have to do an inspection here.  This is getting crazy. This is great. Just real quick! We don't want to mess it up too much because I do use hair spray…that I said. Come – HE NOW ADDRESSES A WOMAN UP IN THE FRONT STAGE WITH HIM. Come. Is it mine? –Look TRUMP BENDS OVER AS TO BE INSPECTED BY THE WOMAN-.
 
WOMAN REPLIES IT FEELS IT IS.
 
‘It is…?’ –WOMAN ANSWERS BACK. ‘Say it, please’ – TRUMP INVITES HER TO SPEAK THROUGH THE MICROPHONE. AFTER THAT SHE CONFIRMS HIS HAIR IS NATURAL, NOT A TOUPEE. ‘Thank you’ –TRUMP STILL ADDRESSES THE WOMAN ONSTAGE- ‘And have I ever met you before? No! But you're very nice. Thank you. Nice to meet you.’
 
Somebody's got a very nice wife. I don't know who she is but she's got it, very nice.
 
So… so I'm on the front page in New York Times. The first sentence says I wear a toupee and I don't. I swear to you I don't! Okay. Now, it goes on, and it gets worse, by the way. It says that I was accused… ‘Mexican immigrants’, who I love. By the way, I love Mexican people. I have such a great relationship to make sure… I hire thousands… people… the rich Mexicans they're great people!... friends of mine. They buy my apartments. Just like I love the Chinese people. The problem… it’s true, they buy my apartments… they're friends of mine, they live in Trump Tower …they live in many of my buildings… I love the Mexican people; they have tremendous spirit. S So here…they have down here –HE PUTS ON HIS GLASSES AS TO START READING- and they love me! And, by the way, I think I'm gonna win the Mexican vote. Because I'm gonna bring…and… and the Hispanic vote generally. Thousands and thousands of people have worked for me over the years! Hispanic! Because I'm gonna bring jobs back from China, and I'm gonna bring jobs back from Japan! … and all of these people! So now…no, no, it gets worse, don't worry. –TRUMP STARTS READING BACK-… ‘Trump, who has dismissed some Mexican immigrants…’, listen to this, - HE CONTINUES READING-… ‘as rapists and criminals or, simply put, as Hitler. Do you believe now the Hitler one, I've never heard until this morning when I woke up. I'm not a fan of Hitler. So now they just added the rapists, now they've just added Hitler into it. So then…, which is all false, by the way, and they know it, and by the way, the Hispanics that are in the country legally…they love me. They say, ‘we don't want people pouring through the border, we don't want that Mr. Trump’, they… look, we have a great relationship. So now they –THE NEWSPAPER- talk about this gentlemen, ‘Mr. Trump, Spanish language, news media’, ‘he announced his candidacy in June… boiled over on Tuesday… at a news conference in Iowa, which was an amazing event…
 
You know I made my best speech the other night in Iowa? And nobo… and it was live on all the networks, but nobody talked about it because I had this guy getting up and ranting and raving like a lunatic and that was all they covered. They didn't cover my speech was the best speech I've ever made! That's my opinion, it's true, they kept covering this maniac in Iowa… - HE READS AGAIN- ‘when the candidate -that's me- erupted! When I erupted. I never erupted!? He erupted! Front-page, New York Times: ‘when the candidate erupted at Jorge Ramos, the main news anchor at Univision, who by the way I'm suing for 500 million… - PEOPLE CHEER- no I'm suing them. They broke a contract. You know, I'm really good at contracts. If you're a golfer, you know what a plus five is.  That's really good. That's like Tiger or Jack in their prime… plus five… I’m plus five over contracts. Okay, so I'm suing them. They're not happy.
 
TRUMP STARTS READING AGAIN: ‘When he tried to ask a question without being called’. So he… so they have me erupting! All he was doing is standing there saying ‘no, no, no’ , because CBS was asking a question at the time. The room was packed. It was absolutely packed. It was packed with reporters and it was a news conference! So I'm standing there, and I'm saying okay go ahead, go ahead… then all of a sudden this guy gets up start screaming at the top of his lungs… and it was unfair to the other reporters, and most of them have reported that. And I said, ‘listen you're gonna have to stop, because I haven't called on you yet’, and he wouldn't stop. And it wasn't questions, he were making statements, you…, you all saw it. The problem is… the media doesn't cover it that way. So here –HE LIFTS AND SHOWS THE NEWSPAPER- they have front page of the New York Times that I erupted. I never erupted, I never even raised my voice. In fact, much of the media, the fair media, even some of the liberal media said I really handled the situation well. Can you believe it? I was shocked… shocked.
 
So, but now I'm on the front page of the New York Times saying number one, I wear a toupee and number two, I erupted at this guy and number three they said ‘Hitler’…I don't like that, okay?
 
So the news hit me…here you can have it –TRUMP THROWS THE NEWSPAPERS IN THE AIR- anybody want? This, by the way, there's more in there, but I don't want to report it… I'm just…hey! I'm just showing this stuff in the front page, I don't have to go back to page eleven, that's really bad.
 
So it's an amazing thing what happens with the med…with the news, with the media… and again, some is really good, and some is really accurate and a lot of it's not. And it's too bad. But, we have a country that's in serious trouble. We don't have victories anymore. We used to have victories. And you know, one of the things that I've been most honored about is…when I… when I ran and when I decided to run. Ehm…nobody thought I was gonna run. They said, ‘he's got this great life, he's built this great company…’. Now a lot of people said I wouldn't run because I'd never report my financials. Because people thought that I was richer than I might have been. But then I reported and they said, ‘actually he's much, much richer than we ever thought’, can you believe it? They didn't know I wanted to report my financials! I might have reported him… if I didn't run! I might have been the only person in history that reports his financials and says ‘I'm not running, but I'm reporting it…cause I like it! I'm proud of the cup…I built this incredible company…but you remember?... do you remember they said very strongly, they said ‘he'll never run. The ‘talking heads’, you know they get paid like a half million dollar years… a lot of these guys on Fox, on CNN… talking heads! They're not very smart guys! They think they're smart ¡, but they're not! And I won't mention names because some are actually coming around. I'm not gonna mention names. You know, I've insulted some of them so badly there's no way they can ever come to my side. The things I've said about certain of them… but a couple of them have come like full circle! They think it's a phenomenon. One of them the people who was killing me yesterday were saying ‘Donald Trump is a phenomenon’. I almost fell off my chair when I heard this. Because what we've done has been amazing. And it's not me, it's…there's a movement going on. This is not like a normal… you know, when you see bush at 300 people and they're happy. And we have 17 or 18 hundred people, and… and it's just such…there's something happening, there's something happening!
 
And one of the things that are happening is that… we just are tired of politicians who are all talk, no action, don't get anything done, don't know what they're doing other than getting reelected…and people are tired of it! They're tired of low-energy people, you know…I don't know if you saw it. In the same day, Hillary, who I think it's got very big problems, by the way, very big problems. I think she's got bigger problems in whether or not she's gonna run, but we'll find out, we'll find out.
 
But Hillary and Jeb … can't call him Bush, he doesn't use his last name. Do you ever see…? did you ever see a sign that says ‘Jeb Bush’ or ‘Bush’? Now, there's a reason he doesn't use his last name. Cause it's not gonna work too well, because we had a lot of problems with that last name! We had a lot of problems. But in the same day, they said his tone is not nice…his tone! You know I view it as energy, there's no energy on the other side. We need tone, we need tough tone, we need it! I mean…you know, I used this analogy…they said... ‘I don't like his tone’ and I said to myself, ‘you know, I just turned on and Isis was chopping off the heads of three Christians, taking their heads off. They were dunking them; you saw that?... with the cages, where they dunk them in the ocean, and drown them. And he's talking about my tone! We need tough tone. We're gonna be… we're not gonna have a country anymore. We're not gonna have a country!
So… I've met so many people over the last period of time…and I've met so many vets, who are being mistreated horribly by the incompetent people in Washington. It's not even the money…they throw money but the… the between, the theft that goes on, the bad management… the vets will be taken care of so well…under a Trump administration…and I have tremendous support from the vets. They actually did a poll, where it was Donald Trump to the vets, Donald Trump against a very well-known senator. Who do you like better? I'd blew him away! I blew him away! And… the reason is… for many, many years these people…they are there in Washington and they talk, and talk, and talk and nothing happens. You know? Two weeks ago on Wednesday, the vets had the longest wait in the history of the Veterans Administration, meaning in a waiting room. I go to a doctor… if I have to wait like 12 seconds…I even say ‘come to my apartment, can you do that? You know, I try and get away with that. You know, remember the old days would it actually go to your house? With my mother…if you weren't feeling well, ‘doctor, could you come over? He would come with a little satchel, right? you remember? We don't have that anymore. But, you know, if I had to wait like 10 seconds I'd go nuts . These people are waiting five and six days just to see the doctor! They had one instance where he waited five days when he got to the doctor. The doctor said ‘I'm sorry, I'm going on vacation for two weeks, can you come back? He was sick! And you know, a lot of this is stuff that a pill can take care of or a little incision can take care of, where something can take care of very quickly, you know, where it goes away. And they have to live with it. And it's unfair! And it's incompetent, its incompetent management. And it's not the money, cause they spend tremendous money. They spend tremendous money. But it's incompetent people running it, and the new group doesn't know what they're doing. They threw more money. They just keep throwing money…They think throwing money helps. You know, it's like… the people that are fighting me…for the for the position of running against the Democrats. Who were gonna win? Because nobody's gonna want another four years of this Obama stuff…nobody! I think we're gonna win. I know I'm gonna win! I know I'm gonna win.
 
But it's like Jeb Bush, and I… you know, I keep using him! Because I used to think he was like the guy that you had a beat. But he's like mired down He's going down fast. I don't even know who's second. You know, a poll came out today. Actually Dr. Carson's second, he's a nice guy. I can't hit him, he's been so nice to me, it's true! I cannot hit him. And Ted Cruz, senator Cruz has been so nice to me…I can't hit him. I may have to if he starts getting like really close? – CROWD LAUGHS- … I may have to! But you know it's sort of interesting… no, but Ted Cruz has been so great! In fact, I think we're doing something next week or the week after about the Iran pact. We're gonna do it in Washington, gonna have a tremendous crowd come out, and this Iran pack is… you talk about ‘incompetent’, I mean this is one of the all-time one, one of the all-time.
 
But it's like… I really was hitting Bush hard. I actually felt sorry for him because he's such a nice person, you know? And yesterday he upped his energy. And I've called him a low-energy individual. We don't need low energy. Our country's falling apart, we're getting beaten at every single corner, we don't have one good trade deal out of hundreds… we're losing money with everybody. China's taking money like a candy from a baby's pocket, Japan is sending millions of cars to our shores… millions! We send them beef! We send them wheat! You ever see what…? They're up here – RISES HIS HAND- we're down here –LOWERS HIS HAND- monetarily. Like they're here we’re here – HE REPEATS HIS LAST MOVE-… and then they don't want our beef! They send it back! And doesn't last very long, it's called ‘perishable’ And I was in Los Angeles, and I saw a boat. A ship! Like the biggest ship I've ever seen! Cars from Japan. And it's like so imbalanced. It's so imbalanced! And they're rough, and they have a great leader, and we have Caroline Kennedy representing us, who's a very nice person, I tell it all the time.  I told you, why do I like her? because Ivanka likes her, my daughter. Anybody my daughter likes, I like. But I don't want to negotiate for me…please! Not Carol!
 
I told the story about… has anyone heard how she got the job? has anyone heard she…? I tell you the story?
 
So was only sixty minutes. And it was actually very accurately portrayed, because I told this story once before…and it was very accurately portrayed.
 
Caroline Kennedy went to the White House, and she said, you know, nicely, weekly: ‘I'd like a job’. And they – TRUMP IMPERSONATES PEOPLE/STATE EMPLOYERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE- said, ‘oh that's good, what would you like to do?’. – HE IMPERSONATES CAROLINE KENNEDY – ‘Oh do you have anything?’. – HE IMPERSONATES THE WHITE HOUSE STUFF- ‘Well how would you like to be the Ambassador to Japan?’. She went… ‘really’?
This was only 60 minutes. I'm telling you it's very close. Because all those live cameras back there, they're gonna test me. You know, I can't even exaggerate anymore! It's true! They're testing me all the time! –TRUMP IMPERSONATES THE PRESS- ‘He said this, and it wasn't quite that way’, ‘he said the art of the deal is the greatest selling business book of all time’ . I think it was, but now I say ‘one of them’, that way I can't get in trouble. I think it was!
 
So they have Caroline Kennedy… ambassador to Japan she goes ‘really? Wow!’. She goes ‘are you serious!?’ . They met her… Ambassador to Japan! And now they show her in Japan, 60 minutes, and Abe- THE JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER-…, killer, he's a killer! Abe is the new head of Japan, right? And Abe is wining and dining her… fettering her, you know dinner's, state dinners, beautiful. I mean, she's a wonderful person, she doesn't have a clue.
 
So I have Carl Icahn… does anyone know Carl Icahn? Carl is great. He said, ‘Donald , do me a favor, stop calling me a killer’, but he… I said, ‘Carl, you're a killer!’…. but he doesn't want me to call him killer, so I will not call him a killer, okay? Okay. And I have other guys. Very tough. But I said to Karl, ‘Karl, how do you think you would do against Japan?’. –MR. TRUMP IMPERSONATES CARL ICAHN- ‘Oh, they're killing a… no problem’. Believe me, put him –CARL ICAHN- in the room put them – JAPAN- in a room, we're gonna win, all right? No problem.
 
 But we're not going to win with Caroline Kennedy. We're not gonna win! The first thing I say is, if they selling trillions and we're doing down here – MR. TRUMP LOWERS HIS HAND like peanuts, it's got equalized folks. What kind of a deal is this?
 
China's worse. I love China. I love the people of China. I love just like it in Mexico. I love the people. The problem with Mexico, with China, with Japan… their leaders are much smarter than our leaders… like to a point of no return. We're getting killed! It's hard to believe. You know? I always use as an excuse. Nothing to do with business, but it's a good sort of a reason. Sergeant Bergdahl… right? We know sergeant Bergdahl. A traitor. Six people died looking for him. He left! He deserted, went to the other side. He didn't realize the other side wasn't treating him so nice. You know?, they were not too nice to him. They roughed him up. But… he says ‘good’ –POINT TRUMPS AT SOMEONE OFF CAMERA OVER HIS LEFT SIDE-… I agree, good drop them back give him…go let's retrace that deal.
 
So we get Bergdahl, a traitor. Just to say people that make our trade deals. We get Bergdahl, a traitor that we don't want. I don't want him! Do you… does anybody you want him? – CROWD BOOS. And they knew! That he was a traitor, because they had a general and a colonel interviewing the guys and the people…that were with him! So they knew he left! It wasn't like ‘oh they found out later’, they knew before the deal was made.
 
So we get a trader named ‘Bergdahl’, six people died! trying to find him. We get him, they get five killers that they've wanted for 10 years. They were released, and now they're on the battlefield, trying to kill everybody, including u. This is the kind of deals we’re making. Now you tell me what's going on with our thinking, what's going on…with our country. We're not going to have a country soon.
 
So we're going to have… if I win, the greatest people in the world. And I know more. You know? I come from New York, I got to… I really deal like it, this really high level, I built this incredible company… they said ‘income over 400 million a year’. Do you believe that? What the hell do I want money for? They said ‘oh, do you think he'll want to raise money for his campaign?’ .What the hell do I need money for? It’s ridiculous! I've never thought I was gonna make this kind of money! No! I never thought I was gonna make… No, it’s true! They have a line called ‘income’ and I think it says between...like 350 and six hundred million dollars a year. I… I said well that's a lot of money! I didn't even know I made that much money, that's a lot of money. I said to my accountant people that said ‘yeah, you do really well Mr. Trump’.
 
But… -CROWD LAUGHS- but, you know when I see these guys raising money, and I was the king. Nobody was better than me. Don't forget! When I'm sort of an outsider now, cause I ran. Cause I'm not supposed to be running! It's supposed to be these politicians. They run professionally! They are professional runners. They run, they lose, they win, they keep running, they run, ohm! cause … who cares? With us it takes guts, you know, business people. It takes guts to run for office. It is, that takes guts!
 
Lot of people said ‘you'll never run’, everybody was saying I'll never run. But with a guy like… Bush and, by the way, when I did run, I just said ‘look, I'm going to do it’. I just saw…such stupid things… you turn on –HE PLAYS OUT HE TURNS ON THE TV- you read the papers, you see uhh, ‘how could this be happening… it's so easy, it's so easy. We're so stupid! How could it be happening?’ And I saw my wife, ‘I'm just going to do it’. And you know what I did? The morning of… that I announced, which was a great announcement, because I brought up illegal immigration and I got killed for two weeks. They wouldn't even be talking about immigration, had I not made that statement. It’s true, it’s true. You wouldn't be talking about that! So true.
 
And it's far worse than what I thought…and pe..., oh did I get killed. Rush Limbaugh said ‘ I have never seen a human being receive more incoming’. I hadn't heard that… ‘incoming’, meaning press. And I did. I was just being decimated. People said ‘can you apologize?’ I said ‘I can't do that; cuz I know I'm right’. I know I'm right. And I talked about the crime, and I talked about the problems… with illegal immigration, and I talked about these things. And… people all of a sudden, you had the horrible tragedy of Kate in San Francisco. And you had many other tragedies, even the other night last week a woman from California 66 years old. Raped, sodomized, tortured and killed, by an illegal immigrant. She was a veteran, by the way, 66-year-old woman. Raped, sodomized, tortured and killed. And that was in… last week. And as many of these instances.
 
So I said ‘we have to do something’, we can't have weak people anymore, we just can't!
 
Somebody said, ‘Trump doesn't have the temperament’. I have the perfect temperament! That built this great company. A perfect temperament. I had the right temperament! In fact, I had my… I…I went for a physical, because somebody say ‘oh did you take a physical’? You know, I feel like I'm a good shape but you gotta be careful. And the doctor said… I don't know, 110 the blood pressure, like 110, the doctor said ‘you have the blood pressure of a great athlete, this is impossible’. I have really low brot… can you imagine if I had high blood pressure? Would I be in trouble? – CROWD LAUGHS. I wouldn't be here…I would have exploded some place about 20 years ago. It’s true. Now, I have low blood pressure, ‘can you believ…? Nobody believes I have low blood pressure. I have great temperament. And you need great temperament. But you know the other thing that you need? And I thought it was so… important!
 
Somebody said to me, it was a great compliment, one of the great business guys, said ‘ Trump is the most unpredictable guy I've ever…’ . That's what we need! We need some unpredictability, we really do! And…and this business guy, who's a ‘tough cookie’, he said it as a compliment, he says ‘so unpredictable, we never know which way to go’. We need unpredictability, we're so predictable. We're like bad checker players and we're playing against Putin, who I would get along with great. I would get along with Putin. You see? We're sending planes over, we're sending boats over, we're sending… why isn't Germany helping? Why is it… why are the European countries…?  You know, we're talking about the Ukraine. I feel very strongly about the Ukraine…it’s great. But why do we have to be in the lead all the time? So we got that! We're fighting! They’re showing this gorgeous brand-new F-22s. That's the newest, the best. They're going over… for a potential conflict with Ukraine. But where are the Europeans? Why are we always doing it? I love Ukraine, I love Ukraine. But why do we always have to be like…
 
Now, we have in North Korea, the guy’s acting up, again. You know, every six, seven months, he starts to act up, okay? Now, two weeks ago I ordered 4,000 television sets. They all come from South Korea. They make it a fortune! I don't know if anybody here… does anybody make television sets? I swear to pay more money. They don't even make them in the United States anymore…does anybody make television sets? You know what I mean. Samsung, LG, all of them! They all come from South Korea. I paid a fortune. Ah, they gave me a pretty good price actually. Got the nice one, you know, with her nice round screen, beautiful. 4,000! That’s a big order! For a big job. And, so I ordered all these televisions…  and I said, ‘boy, I paid a lot of money’, and then you look at the… the balance between the United States and South Korea They're killing us!
 
China! did… you see the deficit that we have with China? I mean, if you had a business that lost money every year, you’d close it. Right? You do something! We have a deficit with China you don't want… I won't even say the number, it's so ridiculous. It’s massive! We have rebuilt China. And again, I have the largest bank in the world as my tenant. From China! And they just renew their lease, I said ‘are you sure you want to redo you lease in my building? – TRUMP NOW IMPERSONATES THE CHINESE BUSINESSMEN- ‘oh we love you Mr. Trump’. They love me, because they're smart. They know I'm telling the truth. They actually just renewed their lease for 10 years. And… but the largest of the world. So large they consider Citibank a small subsidiary. I said ‘how does Citibank compare? They look at me like –TRUMP PLAYS OUT A MOCKING FACE IN ORDER TO IMPERSONATE THE CHINESE BUSINESSMEN- ‘Citibank? That's like nothing’. These are massive, massive powerful banks. And… they can't believe they're getting away with what they're getting away with. They just can't believe it.
 
So we can straighten this out. We need great business minds. There are minds in this room…that could do a fantastic job…a fantastic job. But when you look at… what China has done, and I said it the other day, and I thought it was very good, ‘the greatest theft in the history of the United States, and perhaps the world’, that's the money that China has taken from the United States, and we built itself. Greatest theft. Think of it, that's a pretty big statement, right? ‘Greatest theft in the history of the United States perhaps the world’. Now, that's not only the money. That's the money in the jobs…and everything else.
 
So again I respect China… great, great, great respect. In fact, the Chinese leaders coming over here next week. We'll give him a great dinner; we'll celebrate him…you don't do that to people that is the…you just… ‘let's have lunch’. You don't need these big state dinners! You don't need them! They could probably leave and they say ‘what a bunch of dopes, can you believe the way they tried…?’. Look!
 
So…again, whether it's Japan, or Mexico, or China, I love them! I just wish our leaders…were smart. I know…! the greatest negotiators in the world. Some are overrated that you heard of. Some are underrated…some you never heard of. I know the best…like Carl Icahn is one of the best. If I put Carl in charge of Japan…Carl, ‘handle Japan trade deals’. It’s over! Just walk away, let them under… oh forget it! They even know that they don't have a chance, okay? It's over!
 
And I put another person…you, you –TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEONE OFF CAMERA IN THE AUDIENCE- understand, okay? Not Caroline Kennedy! I don't want… I love her! Not Carolyn! I said at one of the group's I said, ‘you know, the people I'm talking about are not nice people. They're vicious, horrible, miserable human beings. But they're the greatest negotiators in the world.’ And I said to the audience… ‘do you care?’ And they gave me a standing ovation. They said ‘we love them’. I said ‘you'll never have dinner with them, they think horribly of you. These are terrible people in many cases…in about two percent of cases are actually nice people. But who cares? I want our great negotiators negotiating our deals. I don't want these nice people that got there because they gave… political contributions… it’s true! They got there…they got there because… they got friendships. I want the best, and the brightest, and the smartest. Because that's what we're dealing with.
 
In China, they are so smart…? What they've done to their currency is so brilliant! They have manipulated… now they may be creating a bubble, and they don't care because we're going to pay the bigger price for the bubble than them. If that…if it is in fact a bubble. But when I see these people that are in negotia… and I know some of them! I know some of the people that are top trade people. I don't want to get personal because they're nice people. And they see me, and they liked me, and I liked them… and they don't like me. I'm sure behind my back they say bad stuff, but that's okay. They pretended like me, I will say that. Especially now since I'm leading in every poll, now they're really liking me! You know why? Because they want to keep their job, but that's not going to happen. I'm sorry, we're going to put the right people in.
 
But but when I look at Jeb Bush, who raised 125 million dollars…Now I used to be one of those people…he raised 125. Hillary raised 60, but people are really afraid of Jeb now, because these are people, you know, they… there was an article that Jeb's funding is drying up...his, his…you know, his peop… no, it's drying up! You know why? Because he's losing so badly! To me! He's losing so badly – CROWD CHEERS. That people are starting to have…but it doesn't matter because they thought he was like the establishment guy, he’d walk in, would have another Bush. ‘ay, ay, ay’. I would have another…
 
Remember the ‘read my lips, no more taxes’? … and I like the father! But you remember that? ‘Read my lips, no more…’ that was the end of him, when he gave one of the largest tax increases in history. It's the same old stuff! His brother gets us into that mess in Iraq? That we never recovered from…then Obama blew it by getting out the wrong way. I mean, look, everybody blew it, everybody blew it.
 
But when I look at Jeb raising hundreds of millions of dollars, which is, honestly, the only thing he has, without that he's got nothing, zero. But he'll do attack ads on me at some point, and I tell people ‘get ready’, they'll say, just like that crummy newspaper that I threw up in the air, it'll be full stuff. Everybody knows you, look, I've done a great job! Maybe a little controversial but that's okay – CROWD CHEERS. I've done a great job!
 
But… but when I look at that all of those people, most of whom I know, many of whom you don't know because it's secret. You know, they should have transparency in giving, nobody ever talks about that. I want to know who gave. If somebody gives five million dollars, that's ok, let me know who he is at least, so I know…what it is. They don't do that. You don't have transparency, you should have complete transparency, and the laws are so crazy.
 
You know, Jeb puts his best friend in charge of his pack. They're not allowed to… talk. They don't talk. They play golf together…or they do go together for dinner… but they don't talk! we don't talk! we never… we mentioned anything…give me a break! Okay? give me a break!
 
But when I see this kind of money put into things, the people that put up the money have total control over Jeb, over Hillary, over everybody. Total control! Total control! Hey! Honestly? Nobody played the game better than me! I understand. I was the king! Nobody played it better than me. And it's not necessarily a good system for our country. Because if you have a lobbyist that gave a lot of money…and that lobbyists is representing a country or a company…and that lobbyists wants something…that lobbyists is going to get it! Nine times out of ten I can practically say ten times, edited, that lobbyists is going to get what he or she wants.
A couple of weeks ago somebody came to me, very powerful lobbyists, ‘I'd like to put money into your campaign, five billion dollars’ I said, ‘oh, yeah’, you know, I'm a business person, how do you say ‘no’? Right? I said ‘I don't want it. I don't want your money’. Because he would come to me… in two, years, three years, four years, one year, six months… who knows? And he's gonna want something. And it may be not for the good of the country. And all I care about is the country. you know, I built this… –PEOPLE CHEER. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you – PEOPLE STAND UP AND APPLAUD.
 
You know, I was criticized the other day. They gave me like these great marks for speaking. They said, ‘his speech was incredible, but the one flaw is that he speaks through his applause’. In other words, when people get up, so that's why I waited a little while, I'm trying to… -CROWD LAUGHS-… but that’s true. But they say ‘his one flaw…his speaking, but the way…they like the way I use my hands, can you believe it? I don't know…no, it's true. They say ‘oh, he uses his hands so well, I was playing… ‘really? Okay. But the one flaw they said is he speaks through his applause. And then I realized. I have to. Because… I don't have the patience to wait –CROWD LAUGHS. Does that make sense? I’ve so much to say! I'm thinking about so many things! And I have so much to say… I don't really have the patience. So, excuse me if I speak through it, the applause, plus, I wouldn’t, I don't want to change.
 
But you know, so, so when I see the money that was… and I'm not just talking about Jeb. I'm talking so many others
 
You know, most of the people, they have money raised, and those people that gave him the money have total control over that particular politician. And one of the things that resonates when I was in Alabama last week we had 30,000 people. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable! I was in Iowa the other night we had 4,000 people in a room that never had that many, and it was an amazing evening! The polls came out, by the way, leading Iowa, a poll just came out, by the way, a poll just came out two days ago…South Carolina! Thirty percent! Forget about everything else, right? Thirty percent! In New Hampshire, a great poll, public policy, just came out…thirty-five percent! I mean, the second place is so far back I won't even bother mentioning.
 
And…and, all of them… North Carolina, the state of Nevada, Florida! In Florida I'm leading the governor and the senator by a lot! Can you believe that? Now I love Florida, but people said ‘this can't be right, this must be a mistake’. And then another one… I'm leading by a lot! I'm way up, and they're here, and here – MR. TRUMP LIFTS AND LOWERS HIS HAND AS TO MARK THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND OTHER CANDIDATES- which doesn't say much for them. Because how do you lose…? If you're the governor, the senator, and you're losing, that's not a good sign…right Florida? But we're leaving everything.
 
And then today…Quinnipiac just came out, you saw it, twenty eight percent… more than double, much more than double, second place…which I think was a twelve percent, that's pretty good!
 
But…but the reason is…we have a message! And the message is, and essentially, ‘we're not going to take it anymore, we’re just is not going to take it anymore’.
 
So a couple of weeks ago we came out with our immigration plan, and… it's honestly been met with…I know you've heard, you know, very controversial and all, but generally speaking, it's been met with tremendous applause. People are tired of what's happening and part of the plan is a wall. And I was criticized, ‘you can't build a wall’, ‘how can you…?’ –SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE AND TRUMP ANSWERS BACK- ‘you're right!’. She's – REFERRING TO THIS SUDDEN PARTICIPANT- obviously in the building real estate business, right?
 
‘Stand up!’ – MR. TRUMP COMMANDS THE PARTICIPANT TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE- ‘Are you in the real estate business? And you know what I'm… Can Trump build a wall? And it's going to be so beautiful! cause someday, when I'm no longer around, they'll call it the ‘Trump wall’. It's got to be the greatest wall! It’s got to be the greatest! Thank you! –TO THE WOMAN THAT HAS JUST PARTICIPATED- ‘thank you, darling’.
 
So… I heard so much about ‘you can't build a wall’. So here's the story: the wall that they have now is like this – HE MARKS A SPECIFIC HEIGHT WITH HIS HAND- … do you ever see it? where they're doing like… they buy a ladder at Home Depot, they are over the wall. This is not the kind of wall. Not taking it.  I'm probably talking about 50 or 60 foot precast panels –MR. TRUMP SHOWS HOW THEY WOULD BE ORDERED, ONE AFTER THE OTHER-… bing – ONOMATOPOEIC SOUNDS- bing, bing, bing… people aren't getting over my wall, and they're not going under it, you know, then they say ‘oh they'll go under’. Well, you can't because it was x-ray equipment, you can't go under, you see it right away…all right? (min 39.54)
 
But people don't go over my wall, you can’t go…so… did you ever see plank that's laid like for highways where they cross highways? Concrete plank! It's precast! I'm so good at this, that's actually the thing I'm best at. Hey, isn't that good to have a president that's really good at construction…when we have to build our country? rebuild it, our infrastructure? … and we have our highways of crumbling, our bridges are crumbling… our airports our third world.
 
I went to Dubai… they have an airport, (it’s) the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Most beautiful. I went to Qatar… they have an airport; most beautiful I've ever seen. In fact, one of the top people in Qatar was showing me the airport, ‘Oh Mr. Trump, and then we have this, then we have that’, and I'm going like… I'm thinking about LaGuardia ay, ay, ay… -CROWD LAUGHS-. You know, they have they have terrazzo floors, it’s no marble, they have terrazzo floors. And when it breaks it's 40 years old, when it breaks they use asphalt, black asphalt, on a white floor, fill it up with asphalt – CROWD LAUGHS.
 
And you want… this into terminal. So, you know…I'm used to that. So this guy showing me, a wonderful guy, showing me the airport in Qatar, which they say Qatar – MR. TRUMP PRONOUNCES IT DIFFERENTLY, THE FINAL /T/ AS A RHOTTING T: /t̬/ -   I've always said Qatar so, what the hell. I don't care if I mispronounce, it doesn't matter. I've always said Qatar.
 
So we're in Qatar, and he showed me this gorgeous airport, (the) most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I said ‘this is the most beautiful airport I've ever seen!’.
He goes (the Qatari) ‘no, no, no Mr. Trump, no, no, no this is just temporary. The new airport is being…’ and I look at the crane…there is like 70 cranes on the other side, two miles away.
 
I say ‘what is that?’. (They reply/ied) ‘that's our new terminal, Mr. Trump. This gets knocked down after that's complete’. They knocked it down! And it was beautiful! And this is what…we have we have…we have third world. Go to LAX, LaGuardia, Kennedy, Newark… any of them. We're like third world…and they're building things in Japan and in China… you've never seen anything like that!... parts of the Middle East that haven't blown up yet, by the way. Those parts that haven't blown up.
 
So… we have a chance… to be truly great again, truly great again, truly great! I don't mean a little bit, truly great again! We have… a chance to be as good as ever, if not better, believe it or not. We have to take care of our people, we have to build up our military stronger than ever before… so we don't have to use it, so we don't have to use it! I don't want to use it. Don't forget: I am the only candidate, and I'm the most militaristic person you're ever gonna… worse than anybody in this room. But…you got to use it… right. Or don't use it at all! Don't use it at all if we can. There's no fear factor.
 
How about we send 2300 Humvees armor-plated beautiful, the best in the world, to our allies in the Middle East? Right? You already know about this one.
 
To… this is…I don't mean 23, I don't mean 2…I mean 2,300! The most expensive…you know that they were being blown up, and our boys, and…and… ladies are losing their legs… and their arms… because they didn't have the armor, and all the…right? Terrible.  Now we make them incredibly. They can take tremendous damage, and you'll be okay. And we send 2300 to our allies! One big group. One shots fired, everybody gets out, they run away…our enemy now owns all of them. Has all of them. 2300!
 
Think of how many that… I said ‘how do you get them over there…?, cause when they said that two thousand… I thought they were like… you got to be kidding. And I actually thought ‘you mean 23’. Now, 2300 Humvees, the best in the world. And , we don't have them! We have the ones that are without the armor, because ours are old. These are the best. Our enemy has it. Our enemies have lots of our weapons. Because, when we give them to the allies, as soon as three and a half bullets go off… they run away and they drop everything. And they take their uniforms off, and they do it… ‘no, I'm just here, I love you very much’. Okay? Because we're stupid. Because we're stupid. And that stuff is it going to happen anymore. Not going to happen anymore, - CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
You know, everybody said… CNN actually did a poll, and the poll had… it was a wonderful poll…believe me, I wouldn't be talking about it. But…but, it was a wonderful poll…had me leading…but more importantly, in the background, they had these different categories. ‘Who's best on leadership?’. – TRUMP REVEALS THE ANSWER- ‘Trump by far’.
‘Who's best on finance and economics…?’… It was like five times…so much better than…they were in the dust. I don't mean like a little bit better, I don't mean two or three times… but I mean much better. And ‘who's better in a cut… - HE DOES NOT FINISH REPORTING THE QUESTION-…. the only thing I did badly on was ‘is he a nice person?’ and people said ‘no, he's a…’. I was last in terms of niceness! But I think I'm the nicest of all! I just don't want to be taken advantage of! Does that make sense? That was my only week thing! And…and a woman came up to me. And she had seen the poll. And she said… ‘Mr. Trump,I just heard your speech, I love what you said, but you know what? I don't know if you're nice enough to be President’. And I said, ‘number one, I really think I'm a nice person. I help people, I love to help people! But…but I really think that this is going to be an election… that's not based on niceness. It's going to be based on competence, and smartness, and toughness –PEOPLE CHEER- because… we're tired of the nice…we don't need the nice. We need the competent, and we're going to have such a competent, brilliant presidency if I win!  And I think we're going to have a really good chance!
 
You know, when people were talking about the polls today…some of the people were…like sort of surprised. And John McLaughlin…you know John McLaughlin? Does the McLaughlin on… but, he was arguing with somebody, because my poll numbers were good. I was doing very good; he has a show McLaughlin. I never met him. I never met him, I don't know who he is. But he said something it was…he said ‘this man has had great achievement and accomplishment all his life! All its life! I go to Europe; I see his name. I go all over the city; I see his name. I see buildings, I see other things he does. He's a man of great achievement, why wouldn't he do well? And I thought it was very nice! I wrote him a letter, I said ‘thank you very much. Thank you very much’.
 
One of the things…that I'm most proud of… is that…a few of the people that I'm running against really, really hit me hard. One was…governor Perry. And he went from five percent to nothing –PEOPLE CELEBRATE IT. He went to nothing! And he would make speeches about me. What a bad guy! I mean, he used horrible terms… he used the word ‘cancer’! He used horrible terms! I said ‘I'm not a bad person’. But he was trying…you know, he was down pretty low, and he wanted to get up, and I understand. But he went down.

Another one was Senator Lindsey Graham, has anyone ever heard of Lindsey Graham? – CROWD BOOS. This guy…! I mean, he is…he is out of he's out of control, I mean he's really…
So…poll came out the other day, he was at 0! 0! Even Pataki was higher! Pataki was at zero with an arrow up – CROWD LAUGHS. That means he got one… but Lindsey Graham actually had zero! And the other day, when the poll came out where I had 30…he had four! And I wrote him a note I said, ‘thank you, and congratulations on four’…even though it is his home state, you know? This was in his home state is… I'm not talking about national…national he still got zero! …but in his home state he had four… the one that came out two days ago, and I had a lot! I had 30. So I congratulated him on getting ‘four’, and on the fact that I was only up on him by 26 points. That's a lot, right?
 
But no, the level of viciousness from him…and I don't understand it, because he called me three, four years ago…he wanted my help, he wanted money, he wanted everything…
 
Oh he'd be so easy, if I wanted to, if I cared, he'd be so easy…he'd be so… -SOMEONE OFF CAMERA YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE, TRUMP RESPONDS- ‘you're right’.
 
So…I am telling you that…there is a sense of…of spirit that I'm saying in this country that's unbelievable. The people that I've met are incredible…whether it's New Hampshire, or Iowa, or South Carolina, or California, or New York and people…that one of the beautiful things in this poll, and the shocked…they said, ‘he does great with the Tea Party’. A lot of people. I love the tea party; I love the tea party! These are great people. They're great people! But… ‘he does great with the Tea Party. But, he also does great with the moderates, and the young, and the old, and the rich, and the poor…he does great with everything’. I even did great with the Democrats; can you believe it? I did right, with the Democrats!
 
Because…I have a really is…an expression that's so important. And we've used it over, and over again. And I actually went out and copyrighted it. Because people were using it…(people) that I'm running against. A couple of the people saw me make a speech…I got this huge standing ovation, after I use this term, right? And I said, you know what? I have great lawyers, and I had this guy going… ‘I got it copyright it’, can you believe it?... and the term is ‘Make America Great Again’ – CROWD CHEERS. I got a copyright, because…they saw the response be…and how simple is it?... ad it just shows about a politician…they can't even come up with their own terms! ‘I have to copy you, right?’ There are other good terms I could come up with!
 
But I did…so think it says…anything says it better…than…that. You know…? I use an expression…‘the American dream’, you know, the American dream? Right? ‘The American Dream is dead! but I’m going to make it bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before!’ I am going to do that.
 
The American Dream is in very, very big trouble! but I am going to make it bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before. And…our military is gonna be great, and the Iran deal…Uhh! –TRUMP COVERS HIS FACE WITH HIS HANDS OUT OF EXASPERATION-...these people, these people… we are going to make this company…we are going to make this… - SOMEONE IN THE CROWD INTERRUPT, MR. TRUMP ALLOWS THEM BY SAYING- ‘what?’.
 
We are going to make this country…so strong, and so powerful, and so wonderful and you're going to be so proud of it! And you know, like the people that fought me, they seem to be gone.
 
Well, when countries fight us…without fighting, we're going to beat them, we're going to beat them at trade, we're going to have the best military, we're going to have the best of everything. We are going to be so proud…if I am president, you're going to be so proud of our country…you will be the happiest people!
 
And I just want to thank the people of South Carolina have been…incredible to me. From day one! From the first time I came here, they saw what was happening. And we are going to indeed ‘Make America Great Again’. Maybe better than ever before –CROWD CHEERS. And I just want to thank you all…very much. It is a great honor! And thank you all very much. We're gonna have a lot of fun doing it too! Thank you very much.
 
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.
