Wow! Wow! We love you! We love you!
 
Beautiful! Wow, what a crowd!
 
You know, you have people five miles back in their cars, should we wait for them to come in? No! –CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’.
 
I'll tell you what, I just drove up the whole…and it's like forever! The cars our way back there. So they'll just start coming in, and by the time the last ones come in, we’ll be finished, we're gonna go home, right? –CROWD CHEERS. Right? So anyway, thank you very much.
 
You know, South Carolina's special place. They're all saying how well I do in South Carolina, like beyond any place! –CROWD CHEERS. And I wanna just…I wanna just thank you.
 
FOX just came out, just a little while ago, with new polls, killing everybody…yeah…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. MR. TRUMP TURNS AND WAVES–…killing everybody nationally. I’ll go over the numbers, but what the hell! Let's see! They're so good! Let’s see…just out: ‘Trump’, 35. Second 19, or 20, or something like that…–CROWD CHEERS. In New Hampshire, absolutely killing everybody. We're just beating them. And I'll tell you, we just came out, you'll be very happy. In South…Carolina big, big, big lead. My biggest of all actually! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
And…Reuters just came out: ‘Trump’, 42! …–CROWD CHEERS. Remember, that's 42 percent, and we have…how many people are left? I mean, you tell me, they’re dropping, dropping, dropping…we have about what…12 left? But this was as of a couple of days ago. 42, 16 for Cruz; Carson is at 12, or 12.8…Bush is down low, man! –CROWD CHEERS. Rubio’s down low. Wow! –CROWD LAUGHS. Those are…pretty wild numbers! Ah…he goes ‘low energy!’…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD UTTERS THAT. MR. TRUMP AND THE CROWD LAUGHS. Uh, it's a tough world, right!?
 
But all over. But South Carolina has been amazing. Here’s one, ‘Trump’, 38. So we're almost at 40...! That's with…–CROWD CHEERS–…actually, that's with 14 people! I'd take that with three people, right? We'll take it with three people…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
So, I just wanna thank you all, you know? We have a country that's really in serious trouble, but we're gonna straighten it out. I'll tell you right now. We are going to…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we are…we are going to straighten it out. And I tell people! We don't win anymore! When was the last time we won!? When did we win a trade where you say, ‘oh, boy! Did we do great against China!?’. Instead, China goes down? We go down. We follow. We're like a follower. And I've been talking about this for years, folks. I've been telling you, be careful. Be very careful. But we're tied into China. We’re tied into other places, and we've got problems! And…there's no reason for it. There's no…reason…whatsoever.
 
Now, they're gonna take their currency, and they're going to start devaluing it, more, and more, and more…and what's that gonna do, that's gonna make it impossible for your businesses to compete. It already is…because their currency devaluation is the key. They wanna pass…they wanna pass…I don't know if you’ve…you've been reading about…President Obama wanting to pass a new trade pact. They don't talk…–CROWD BOOS–…well, think of it. The biggest problem…we have, is currency manipulation! That's how they beat us. We…they don't beat us on product. We make better product, believe me, by a lot! –CROWD CHEERS–…by a lot! And the trade pact doesn't discuss currency manipulation, and doesn't discuss it. The problem we have…is we have leaders that don't know what the hell they're doing! They don't know what they're doing! –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
And…you know, it's very interesting, when I decided to run…I had to run! Too many things! Too many things! And…I love what I'm doing, I built a great company, it's an amazing company…you know I filed, right? And I say this: this is not done in a bragging…way. I built a great company, some of the greatest real estate assets…and assets in the world. Very low debt! Very, very…tremendous cash flows. All of those things! It's the kind of thinking we need in this country! We have 19 trillion dollars…–CROWD CHEERS–…we have 19 trillion dollars in debt.
 
So when I…said that… ‘I wanna to do this. I've gotta do it’. I was gonna do it last time. I sort of wish I did. But, you know what? Maybe we're better off this time. I don't know, you tell me…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY–…I don't know! Because last time, we should have won. We should have won! But people didn't get out. You have to…by the way! Just in case we forget: you have to get out and vote. You gotta do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, if the big Republican base got out and voted last time, with all this stuff you hear, you could have won that election, I'll tell you. There was a lack of spirit, there was a lack of something…and…it didn't work out. You had a president who was failing badly. It was a race that…should have been…won. And we can't let it happen again! We are going to make our country so great again…! And I have to say ‘again’! –CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
 
You know, I go home and look at all these people, from the press, miserable people, but that's all right…–CROWD CHEERS AND BOOS. It’s true. True…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. It never fails, okay? But I go home, and sometimes I'll say: ‘the American Dream is dead but we're gonna make it bigger and better, and stronger than ever before’, and that's true. That’s true! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So I went home recently, and my wife said to me, ‘what a terrible statement you made. It was so depressing’.
I said, ‘what did I say?’.
‘You said the American Dream is dead’.
I said, ‘no! But I said I'm gonna make it bigger, and better, and stronger…than ever before! No…!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And she said, ‘no, but they didn't put the second part in!’. In other words, I said, ‘the American Dream is dead, but…’, boom! They cut it! –CROWD LAUGHS. That's what happens! That's what happens!
 
But I’ll tell you what, we're really doing well. The spirit in this country, no matter where I go…I mean, here we are in South Carolina, but…I go to…I…no matter where, even North Carolina, I have to tell you! I have to tell you! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. North Carolina. And I have a big job there, and it's a great job, and the amazing people. But no matter where I go…we go to Texas, we went to Dallas, we had twenty-one thousand people. Mobile, Alabama…and they do have a good football team, whether we like it or not…–CROWD BOOS. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS–…they do. They do. They do. Oh, you'll be back next year. You're gonna be back. But hey, you have you have a good football team! Right? –CROWD CHEERS. You have a good football team.
 
But…but, no matter where we go…it's this kind of…incredible enthusiasm. By the way, before I start, I wanna thank, wherever he is, the fire marshal has been incredible. Because they wanted to shut it down, and they got extra volunteers…and everybody's standing at doors and everything, and people are flowing as we’re speaking…so, ‘fire marshal, wherever the hell you are, we love you. Okay? Thank you’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Especially the people that aren't gonna have to turn back and go home.
 
But no matter where I go, I mean it's…it's incredible in Iowa. It's incredible in…in…New Hampshire; here; we go to Nevada, we go to the SCC…–STATE CORPORATE COMMISSION, I.E., VIRGINIA–…no matter where we go, there's people, and their spirit…and it's beautiful to watch, I will tell you. Oh, I love you too! I thought that was a heckler for a second…–CROWD LAUGHS VIVIDLY. No, no, that was a bad…well, I always say, I like the hecklers, because the only way the cameras turn to show the audience…is when…we have hecklers…–CROWD LAUGHS. Last night they had over 20,000 people in a line in Vermont. They said it was bigger than anything they've ever seen, they've never had anything like…they've had rock groups, they've had everything…they've never seen lines like that. And it was an amazing evening.
 
I guess you probably mostly saw where I said, ‘don't give them their coats!’…–CROWD CHEERS.
Now, I mean it was cold out. And I said, ‘don't give them their coats’. I was only kidding, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. But a lot of the news media they said, ‘that was not very nice’. I was kidding folks, I was kidding! We have to kid a little bit. You know, I always say, when we did this, I said, ‘we're gonna have a great time tonight’. Considering the subject matter is not so great! Because, what are we talking about? We're talking about a country that doesn't know…how to make deals. Doesn't know how to run their military. Our militaries in terrible shape. Our Vets…our Vets are being mistreated horribly, and it's not gonna happen…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Obamacare is a disaster, and we're gonna repeal it, and replace it…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we're gonna repeal it and replace it. You know, Obamacare…I don't know if you’ve see it. I know…everybody that's using it, or have to use it! But whoever…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD SAYS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP REPRODUCES IT–… ‘you can't afford it’. She just said, ‘you can't afford it’, right? ‘Raise you a hat, go ahead’. Look at that beautiful hat! –CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. She just said, ‘you can't afford it’. 25 percent, 35 percent, 45 percent…increases. I mean, nobody's ever seen anything like it. It's dead! It dies in ‘17 anyway, but…it's gonna be an explosion…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
 
Why couldn't it just die now? Let me go in, and do something nice. And said…they'll blame me! They'll blame me! But…you know what? Obamacare has to end. It has to end. And it's going to end in ’17! You read the articles, all the articles, all the experts. Because…everybody that they didn't think was going in, is going in. And the people that were really paying for it…aren't going in. And you know, if you look at your deductibles…I mean, unless you're…dying the worst and longest death…you're never gonna be able, in a million years, you're never gonna be able to use it. So we will change it. We will make it terrific. We will make it much less costly…and much better! And much better! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…and I have to say to the people behind me, that's a lot of people, right? –CROWD CHEERS INTENSELY. But I have to say it. By the way, do you see a bald spot back there? …–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO HIS HAIR–…no, right? Not too bad…–CROWD LAUGHS. Not too bad, right? Whenever I have a big crowd behind me I say, ‘give me a mirror’. I don't look at the front, I look at the back, you know? But you know what I'm saying to them? They think…they think…they don't have as good a location. They actually have better, because look, see all the cameras’ They're gonna be the stars. See? That’s how it…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. MR. TRUMP WAVES AT THE CROWD.
 
That's all amazing! Amazing people! Our country has amazing people. And you know, we're gonna start making Apple computers here instead of in China. We really are…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…that's what…that's what it's about. That's what it's about. And we have the people to do it! The one thing, I have been traveling…every night! So another place, another stop, and other…the people are amazing! And it doesn't matter where. Here we are in South Carolina…no matter where I go! Tomorrow I'm going to Iowa! Two stops, and then another one on Monday; and then something else on Sunday. I'm all over the place! It helps to have a good airplane, I will say that…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don't know what I’d do without the airplane. I–…would have a problem. But we're all over the place. And…you know, I've been…a little rough on Hillary Clinton lately, because it's been very unfair…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…it’s very unfair…–CROWD CHEERS AND BOOS.
 
Well…you know, when you do things, you have to represent yourself properly. You just have to! And she was not fair…and…I think that…you know, and she lied! I mean, let's face it! Number one, it started with the video. The ISIS video that didn't exist. And she said, ‘he's forming…’, and a…actually her husband is in that video! So her husband's in a video, and she said, ‘I was in a video ISIS, bom, bom, bom…’…it wasn't!
 
Then about a week later another one was made from a different group, Al-Shabab. These are real beauties, these groups, I'll tell you what Al-Shabab. Now I'm a star of Al-Shabab, right? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Ay, ay, ay! And she said, ‘see? I told you! I told you!’. Well, it wasn’t made and then…was right, you know. So…–YOU–…gotta be truthful! We gotta be truthful! And it's gonna be an interesting race. First we have to do…our little thing. We have about…13, 12 left. How many are left? Did anybody leave today? Did anybody drop out? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I mean, you have so many guys, they’re so low. It's not gonna happen! I would never…–MR. TRUMP HEARS A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELL AND RESPONDS–… ‘Rand Paul, did he drop out today?’. Well…you know, honestly? They're all nice people. They're all nice people. Of course if I was threatened, I wouldn't be saying that. You know that…–CROWD LAUGHS. If…if…if I thought…I thought we were in trouble, I wouldn't be saying nice. But…they are! A lot of them, are nice people.
 
But so far, every…single…person that's hit me, where have they gone? Bing! –MR. TRUMP PUTS DOWN HIS THUMB, MEANING THEY ARE GONE OR HAVE LOST. Right? So far, you look! I mean…now, Lindsey Graham is a very nice man, right? –THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’ AND BOOS. He hit me hard! I'll tell you what! He really…you know, it's like…I was sort of strange. It was strange! You…boy, did he come after me! I don't really know him! Other than one time he gave me his phone number, because he wanted campaign contributions…–CROWD LAUGHS. MR. TRUMP HEARS SOMETHING FROM THE CROWD AND REPRODUCES IT–… ‘she said he's a rhino’.
 
No, you know what…what happens? When they leave the race I like them. I like them! I like Lindsey Graham now! I really do! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I like them all! I have a very short memory when it comes to this. Cause we have to! We have to! I have the world's greatest memory though, when somebody does something wrong. But you have to forget it. What? –MR. TRUMP HAS HEARD A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELL AND HE GIVES THE PERSON ROOM TO REPEAT. THE PARTICIPANT SAYS ‘YOU LIKE RUBIO!? HE’S GOING DOWN! –… ‘oh, listen to my man back there!’…–CROWD AND MR. TRUMP LAUGH. Well, weak on immigration, I will say that. And we have to be strong on immigration! And we have to build a wall! WE’RE–…gonna build a wall! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We're gonna build a big, beautiful wall! A big…beautiful wall! And we're gonna have a door in the wall, and people are gonna come into our country…but! What are they gonna do!? They're gonna come in legally! They're gonna come in legally! CROWD CHEERS VIVIDLY.
 
So I did this last night, first time ever, but I loved it. I did it last night! Some of you know what I’m talking about! Who's gonna pay for the wall!? –CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Who's gonna pay for the wall!? …–CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Who's gonna pay for that wall? …–CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. You better believe it. And they'll do it! And look! I have…oh, look at this hat! –MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN FRONT OF HIM APPARENTLY–…I love it! I love it!
 
You know, a poll just came out. In all fairness, because I love…I love Mexico. I love the Mexican people. And…many, many work for me. A poll…I love the Mexican. Oh, good, somebody's happy over there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS LEFT SIDE. CROWD LAUGHS. But…many, many thousands and thousands of Hispanics work for me. And have worked for me over the years. And they're amazing people. The problem we have…is that…their leaders…are too…by the way, the caught El Chapo –EL CHAPO GUZMÁN, POPULAR DRUG LORD FROM MEXICO–…today, did you know? –CROWD CHEERS. That’s good. That’s good. I don’t think he likes me too much.
 
The rumor was he didn’t like me. When they caught him I said, ‘that’s good news!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. But…but the problem we have is…their leaders…are too smart…for our leaders. So…they’re ripping us…they’re doing a great job for Mexico. But…when you have Ford building their big plant in Mexico. When you have Nabisco moving its factory…they have a big, big plant. And they’re moving their factory from Chicago…to Mexico. So…what are we not gonna eat anymore? Oreos!  We’re not eating Oreos! That’s not a bad thing, by the way. It’s…it wouldn’t be…but…they’re moving their big plant to Mexico…
 
And you know, I tell the story, because to me…it’s a great story. And it’s instructive. And I hope too many haven’t heard it. But a lot of times they …–THE CROWD–…say, ‘play it again, do it again’, cause they wanna hear it. But it’s the most instructive. All of these guys…I’m self-funding my campaign. I’m putting up my own money, okay? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, it’s nice to be able to do it.
 
But I've been a big contributor. I've been a massive contributor! Not just a Republican…I contributed to everybody! When I was a businessman, which was actually six months ago…can you believe it!? Now I'm a politician! I'm a politician! I never thought I'd see myself as a politician! What don't we just say…I'm a businessman who's running for office!? Can we say…? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We don't wanna say ‘politician’. We don't want to say ‘politician’!
 
But, you know…when I look at what's going on, and when I…you know, I've given so much money…three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, fairly recently to the…Republican Governors Association, the RGA. And…you know, millions and millions of dollars to people! And…when you're running for business, you know, when you're a business person…somebody one of a magazine said, ‘he's a world-class businessman’, which I know in all fairness I am! I gotta be friendly with everybody! …–CROWD CHEERS. I gotta be friendly with everyone! So I’ll give the Dems…–DEMOCRATS–…I'll give to Republicans, I'll give to whatever.
 
But, you know, I always get treated good! ‘Mr. Trump, would you like to have dinner?’. If I ever…if I…I…you know, it's very important. Washington right now is in total…gridlock. We have a president that wants to kill the Second Amendment. We have Hillary Clinton, who wants to destroy and take your guns away from you, by the way. She wants to take your guns away…–CROWD BOOS. And…frankly, you can't do that, with an executive order! You know, you're supposed to sit down with the Democrats, and the Republicans, and the Liberals, and the Conservatives…and everybody else! …and you're supposed to hammer out deals. And maybe you can't do it! But it's hard! You know, to do that is hard. Cause it means you have to devote tremendous…I…that’s what I do, my whole life is making deals. You have to get people in your office. And you have to take them out to dinner. And you have to have your wife there! And you have to have the family! And then you have to bring them out again! Because they're acting up…and then you have to get the other ones! And you have to get all these people! And they drive you crazy! But if you're really good at it…you can get it done! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
But what you shouldn't be doing is saying, ‘you know what? I'll never be able to get anything done, so I'm just gonna sign this little piece of paper. Let them sue me, and let them work it out over the next five years, when…somebody else is on the golf course’. You understand…–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO MR. OBAMA’S RETIREMENT. We can't do it! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
So…I just wanna tell you…your Second…and this is a big Second Amendment area, your Second Amendment, if I win…is totally, totally, totally protected, okay? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And I tell the story! If…if you take a look at Paris, where we had that horrible…130 people killed. Others to follow. Very, very…horribly wounded sitting in hospitals, and you'll have others to follow. A hundred and thirty people killed. In Los Angeles, in California, you had…the two people, the two…wackos that came in…the…how about that? THEY–…came in on a what? A Marriage Visa! A Marriage Visa. Who the hell!? Why are we taking…a Marriage Visa…?
 
And…and by the way, by the way, have you seen what's been happening within our country in the last two or three days!? Have you seen!? And we have a President…we have a President…that doesn't even wanna talk about what's really happening…–CROWD MUTTERS. We have to find out…what the hell is going on. We have to do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to do it! But in…in Paris, or in California. If some of the people on the other side, you know, Paris is the toughest…gun location, they say, practically in the world, Paris. France, generally. You can't get a gun. Unless you're a bad guy! You just have a gun, you walk in. I mean, what the hell? Nobody's gonna do anything! Nobody else has a gun! So the only ones that have the guns are the bad guys. You saw that with a magazine a year ago, now you see it…here!
 
So…they walk in. Nobody has a gun… ‘Bing! Move over! Boom! Move over. Boom!’, that's the way they did it. ‘Just come on. Next, boom!’. And they killed 130 people plus. Now, if somebody in this room…like him, right? …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT PEOPLE–…like him, my guy! THE–…Guys been at, like, 10 of my rallies. He's like my brother, this one! –CROWD LAUGHS. Like him! But…–THE PERSON SEEMS TO CELEBRATE THE ‘APPOINTMENT’. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS–…see? That's youth. That's youth.
 
But if somebody…in Paris or in…California, if they had guns on the other side…not a lot! If they had three or four people with…revolvers, strapped to their hip. or their ankle…I tell you what, it would have been a whole different story folks. You'd have bullets going two ways…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, you’d have bullets going two ways. You would have bullets going two ways…and sure that would have been…a problem. But you wouldn't have a hundred and thirty people plus laying there. You wouldn't have 14 people…and these people gave them…wedding parties! Can you believe it!? The people…in California, gave wedding parties! …to these two…highly…radicalized…people. And in California there were people that knew what was going on! You have to report them to the police. You have to report them to the police! They had pipe bombs all over the floor of their apartment! People saw the pipe bombs! And they said, ‘oh, we're not gonna report. We're not gonna report it’…okay?
 
There's something wrong here! There's something going on! And until we get it straightened out, we have to be vigilant! We have to be smart! We can no longer be the stupid country anymore! We can't do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're led by people…I used to say incompetent, we're led by stupid people, we can't have it anymore! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…so every time…I said…and every time I talk about Second Amendment, I bring up things like this. I can bring up a hundred others! Like…how about these gun-free zones on military bases? We have the five…–MR. TRUMP GIVES ROOM TO A MEMBER IN THE CROWD WHO’S YELLING–… ‘say it!?’. I can fix it! Jeb can’t fix it and I can…–CROWD CHEERS. Well, actually Jeb Bush came out with a statement, ‘he can fix it’. Now, if you're in politics, you don't wanna use the word ‘fix’. ‘Fix’ means ding, ding, ding, ding…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS AS IF HE WAS DEALING CARDS OR HANDING OUT, REPORTEDLY, MONEY–…right? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. You don't wanna use that word. No, I take care of things, believe me. It's gonna be fixed.
 
There's a lot of things! You know, when we have budgets…and how about the budget…that was just passed? Okay? –CROWD BOOS. No, no! Obama got every single thing he wanted! We got nothing! I couldn't believe how fast…! And then you wonder…!? You know, I know where the Democrats are coming from. I don't even mind it! That's what they're doing! But what about the Republicans!? We elect them, all of us! They go to Washington…and they become different people! ‘We're gonna end Obamacare…!’…they…you gave them a vote…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE AUDIENCE. ‘We’re gonna end Obamacare! We're not gonna let people come in from Syria…that we never saw before…that we have no idea where they are…!’. They could be ISIS. And they could be ISIS. And by the way, it's turning out that they probably are ISIS.
 
You see? The migration, right? You see…it’s…it's sad! I mean, it’s sad! But then you're looking, you say, ‘There's so many men! They're so young! They're very strong! Where are the women!? Where are the children!?’. And you look! And then on top of it, they have cell phones! Now, what the hell…!? How do you…!? How are you in a migration…? …you don't have any papers…they don't know where you come from…you have no documentation, but you have a cellphone! And on the cellphone, what's on there? ISIS flags, right? They have ISIS flags on the cellphones. They have pictures of horrible carnage on the cellphones…what are we doing folks!? What are we doing? What are we doing? We can't do it any longer! I didn't need to do this, believe me! I had a very nice life! I have this beautiful family! I have a beautiful company! I had to do it! I had to do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
 
You know, politicians are all talk, they’re no action. I'm telling you. I deal with them. And not…every…single one. But just about. I…look…I’ve…I've…dealt with them for 35 years, for so many years. And that's all…I get zoning in New York, I get everything I want. Politics…I know so much about politicians! All talk, no action. The thing they're best at is getting reelected. The thing they're really good at is getting people to give them money to get reelected.
 
And you know what? When that happens…and I'll tell you! So let's go back to Ford! They build a plant. We know it's no good! How is it good!? You don't have to go through college…you don't have to go through anything! They build a plant! Two and a half…billion-dollar plant in Mexico, right?
 
Now, let's say that Hillary gets in. She's given…a hundred million dollars, and gonna be much more than that. And all of those people that put up five million, two million, one million…believe me…! They control her. So she knows it's no good…so she'll say, ‘it's no good’. Then she'll be visited by a lobbyist; by a special interest group; or by her donors. And they'll say, ‘we gave you a lot of money’…or, ‘somebody gave you a lot of money, you can't do this, this would be…’…and she'll say, ‘all right…’.
 
Now, here's the difference: ‘Trump’. Wins, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right, okay? So ‘Trump’ wins…I know…I know the lobbyists! I hire the lobbyists! They’re very good! They're very capable! I could get almost anything…I think I can get almost anything passed…okay? I think I could get almost anything passed. I know the good ones, I know the bad ones…
And…you know, I mean I understand the game! And…I think you have to understand the game! Like Obama doesn't understand the game! –CROWD MUTTERS. He doesn't know…Radical…Islamic…terrorism. He doesn't know! He refuses to say the name! If you don't save the name, you're never gonna solve the problem! I know the game! And I know the game…very well! And these people…will come in…–THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY AND BOOING. APPARENTLY THERE’S A PROTESTER. MR. TRUMP TAKES ADVANTAGE TO WAVE AT THE CROWD. Huh? Is there somebody!? Was there somebody up there!?
 
THERE’S A NOISE IN THE BACKGROUND, PEOPLE YELLING. THE CROWD NOW BOOS AND CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ AGAIN. Hey look, it's a problem. We have a problem, huh? We have a problem…and it's gonna be soft, but we have to understand the problem. We have to know the problem. And before we do anything, and before we do anything stupid…we have to know what we're doing. So…we do have a real problem. We do have a real problem. There is such…a level of hatred, that…you can't even believe it. There's a hatred, a deep-seated hatred…we have to find out…where is it coming from, and what could we do about it. And people have to help us. They have to help us. People in the community have to help us.
 
Because you know what? The police, in this country, are…absolutely incredible people. They're incredible people. And…–THERE APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER PROTESTER. THE CROWD STANDS UP AND BOOS. AFTER A WHILE THEY START CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
You know, sometimes I'll speak, and they'll say…a recent magazine cover, ‘hatred’. Is not hatred. It's not hatred on our behalf! There is hatred against us…that is unbelievable! It's their hatred! It's not our hatred! It's their hatred! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we have to find out what's going on. Okay.
 
So…let's get back to Ford. Sounds quite unexciting by comparison…–CROWD LAUGHS. By the way! …by the way! Isn't a ‘Trump’ rally more fun than all these other stiff…–INAUDIBLE? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. How cool!? Right!? Huh!? No, but isn't it…!? Like…it’s great! It’s great! I mean, last night it was like so amazing. Tonight's amazing. And then you go to some of these other…I mean, you go to Jeb Bush's rally, you fall asleep almost immediately! –CROWD LAUGHS. Now, you go to these other…first of all…instead of having 10,000 people, you have…like…ehm…two people. You have two…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
Did you see this clown, O'Malley!? His big credential is that he was the…mayor…of Baltimore, right? Now he's running for president. He was the mayor of Baltimore…he has a deal like this. One person showed up! One…–CROWD LAUGHS. He sat and talked to him for one hour! After the guy left, the press is all out there. They say, ‘are you going to vote for him?’.
He goes, ‘no, I'm not’…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, can you believe it!?
 
So you’d say, ‘why doesn’t he just go home!?’. He’s wasting his time! And I can say that about certain Republicans, I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings. So now, I’m so…I’m in too good a mood, I don’t wanna hurt their feelings. But people should go home, so we can get on with this thing, right!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…right!?
 
So here's what happens. So Ford. They built their big plant. Everybody knows it's wrong…–MR. TRUMP STOPS AS A NOISE IS HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND. IT’S A PROTESTER. THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY AND BOO. So rude, right!? It’s rude. You know, okay, so here's what happens: three weeks ago we had a really rough guy, he was swinging fists, he was doing everything…so the guards…! They're not my guards, they work here, and they’re the police! So…they start swinging, it's a fist fight. They take the guy. They…they…you know, it was a rough deal, right? And…I was rough, I said, ‘get him out of here! Get him out of here!’. And I was rough. I actually said it differently. ‘Ready?’. I said, ‘get him the hell out of here!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Okay. Okay. Right!?
 
So the next day, headlines: ‘Trump was very nasty and rough, and it was disgraceful!’. I was killed on that thing! So the following evening…we had one guy, the whole evening, we had one guy, the whole evening, one person. And I said…because I was so…I mean, I was really mistreated by these people…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS IN THE BACK–…you know, they’re the most dishonest people in the world…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. So I…–INAUDIBLE. So we had this guy, not a good person either. And I was so nice! I said, ‘no, no, don't hit him. Please, be careful. Walk him out. Please, don't hit him. Be very nice’. I got killed then! They said, ‘Trump is very weak! He wasn't strong…’…–CROWD LAUGHS. So I can't win! I can't win! Oh! I tell you what: I like the old days better. I like the old days better! Okay!? –THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
I used to love those old football coaches, they would be rough…you know, like the players can't take it, right? I loved Vince Lombardi. Did we love Vince Lombardi!? There was no games! There was no games! The old days were different. Today you have to be very, very gentle. Very, very careful. And…part of the problem when you're that way is it never ends! I mean, it…here's a guy walking out, waving to everybody…in the old days you couldn't walk out that way. It was…a very much different way…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But…you know what? We have to be politically correct. We're here…we love each other…–CROWD BOOS–…it's one of those things, right? One of those things.
 
But…let me just go a step further. So…the lobbyists would call me about FORD, and I'd say, ‘no, no. You're taking our jobs out of Michigan; you're taking our jobs out of Idaho…or…if…whether it's here, Michigan, anywhere! I don't care! I…I want it in the United States. Does that make sense!? –CROWD CHEERS. Right!?  I don't care! But Michigan's…ehm…you know, they lose plants. And they lose them to…countries, and they lose them to Mexico. And Tennessee lost a big one. It was going to Tennessee, and all of a sudden, at the last moment, they turned around, they went to Mexico. Mexico…–CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY–…by the way, it's gonna be the car capital of the world pretty soon, YOU’D–…better be careful. Cause they've taken a lot of our businesses. That's like a…mini China. China is the greatest abuser of all time, okay? But Mexico…is doing a very good job. They're really outsmarting us. Okay!
 
So now they call me, and they say, ‘Mr. president, you really have to let that happen. Everything is done. Everything is signed’. And I’ll say to the head of Ford, ‘look, here's the story: IT–…doesn't help us. We don't have any jobs…what are you gonna do? You're gonna make trucks, cars and parts, and then you're gonna sell them to us…and perhaps others. And they're gonna come across the border, you know what? It’s no good’.
He’d say, ‘Mr. president, we have to do it’.
I’d say, ‘no, no. Not gonna happen. And here's what I'm gonna do. If you're gonna build that plant, we're gonna charge you…thirty-five…percent…tax…’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–… ‘in…every…thirty-five…’…and I'm a free trader!
 
By the way, they'll say, ‘Oh! Trump! He's really for closing…!’. I'm not for closing. I'm through intelligent trade…–CROWD CHEERS. We…lost…with trade…last year…with Mexico…a fortune. When I say, ‘the wall is gonna be built’, and tonight you said it, three times, the wall’s gonna be built by me…you can hold me to it, folks! You can hold me to it. Now, there are lots of different ways to get them to pay, but they’re paying. They’re paying! They make a fortune with us! What they make…is so much more money…than the cost of that wall. The wall’s peanuts! I'm a very good builder! I know! I…and…it's gonna be a real wall. A real world! This is gonna be a wall that works. Like…Israel has a really good wall that works, our wall’s gonna blow it away, believe me. It’s g onna blow it away…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s gonna blow it away. And no politician can do it!
 
I mean, I had one of the guys the other day. Never mentioned ‘wall’, and all of a sudden, a…three days ago, he said, ‘we're gonna build a wall!’….he's being interviewed…on FOX actually! And he said, ‘we're gonna build a wall!’. I said, ‘that's the first time he's ever said that!’.
And my wife said to me, ‘darling, he just said he's gonna build a wall!’. So all of a sudden. You know the way they've come sort of full circle…? I start…remember this: I started! And I took heat! Man, did I take heat! –CROWD CHEERS. And remember all of the guys running against me. They're all saying…and women! But the guy the people running against me. they're all saying, ‘oh, that can't be done! You can't build a wall…! You can't do this…!’. Now they're all saying, ‘I think we're gonna build a wall, yeah I like that…’…–CROWD LAUGHS. And the problem is…they don't give you any credit! They don't say, you know, ‘Trump came up, many months ago…and said…’, we're gonna strengthen our borders…; we're gonna put on Border Patrol more…; we're gonna get the people out…; they can come back in there…they have to come back in legally through a process…let them do it…the good ones, only the good ones…; we're gonna get the really bad ones! You know, you got some real, bad dudes! They're memb…members of gangs…in…Chicago, Los Angeles…. We're getting them out…long before the war will start! They're gonna be out the first day we're gonna start that process! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And…we'll get them out with the local police! You know, the local police except they're afraid to do anything now, because…it's terrible! But we'll get them out, cuz the local police know who they are. And the local police are terrific, and we're gonna get them out.
 
So…I'll say to them, ‘here's the story: I really…will tell you…if you build it, you're gonna have a tax. It's gonna be a substantial tax. And I hope you have a lot of fun building in Mexico. I guarantee you…that within…48 hours, we get a call saying, ‘Mr. president, we've decided to build our plant in the United States’, okay? I guarantee, a hundred percent! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. A hundred percent! It's a little bit like…it's all the same! You know, it's called the…The Art of the Deal, right? You all read The Art of the Deal. Everybody read The Art of the Deal. Ehm…it's a little like the Iran deal. One of the most embarrassing things our country has ever done. We have made them…so powerful; so strong…and you know, in 2009, with Hillary Clinton, when they were rioting in the streets…all they needed was a little incentive, and that whole thing would have ended! And you would have had a much different country than we have right now. Right now we have a terror country. We just gave them a hundred and fifty billion dollars; …–CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY–…24-day-inspection period; so if we wanna inspect, they have 24 days…and…! …before that, you know, before you do that…they have to go through a whole procedure. So it could be forever.
 
And then the greatest is they have…self-inspection rights. So that we have an area…which is probably where they're gonna do it…! …where they self-inspect. And I say to myself, ‘can you imagine you called them…? Please inspect that area’.
They call you back ‘oh, well…it’s fine, it's fine!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. How stupid are these people that negotiate!? But here's the thing: so…we are four prisoners over there. And…three years ago, or whenever this thing started…this…I have never seen a deal take so long. Three years ago, you walk in, and you say…gotta be the right messenger, Kerry…–MR. SECRETARY JOHN KERRY–…is not, Kerry is a stiff. You walk in, no he’s a stiff, he doesn't know anything about…business, or negotiation…he’s a stiff! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He’s a stiff!  And Obama is responsible for it.
 
Three years ago, very simple, you walk in, you say, ‘hello everybody! Listen, we have a problem: you have four prisoners, and by the way, IT–…used to be three, now it's four. But just for simplification reasons. You have for…they just…pulled another one. And you know that, the reporter, from the Washington Post. HE–…shouldn't be there! We have a pastor…he's there, he's a Christian…he's there because he's a pastor! He's a Christian! And a very good guy. And he's been there for years now. So three years ago, at the beginning: ‘you have our prisoners, YOU–…have to let him go…before we start’.
They'll say, ‘no!’. You know, the Persians are great negotiators, by the way, as…they showed you here.
They'll say, ‘no!’.
And you say, ‘bye-bye, we're leaving’. And you get up and leave! And then you double up the sanctions; you double them up; and now they'll call you within 24 to 48 hours, say. ‘we're gonna give you your prisoners back’.
‘Thank you’. Now you get the prisoners back; get them on the plane; make sure they're up in the air, now you inform them…that you're not getting the 150 billion. That's off the table…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, it's true! It's true! It’s true! It's true! I mean, we gave them a hundred and fifty…you know, people are worried about them…developing nukes. They can buy them! What the hell do they have to develop them for!? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
Now, the other day…if you see…and you know, part of the beauty is…of doing what I do. I have a very good memory. So I can do this. no teleprompter, right? Is there a teleprompter? –CROWD CHEERS. There's like a magic…there's like a magic act. Is there a teleprompter? I saw Hillary the other day, bah, bah, bah, bah…–MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE READS FROM A SCREEN TO HIS LEFT–…bah bah…–MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE READS FROM A SCREEN TO HIS RIGHT–…bah bah…–CROWD LAUGHS. And the worst thing, she was outside! So you know, an ‘outside’, they paint them black in the back, so you can't even see! So this whole half…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS RIGHT SIDE AUDIENCE–…it was the biggest screen I've ever seen! And she's going this way…–MR. TRUMPS LEFT–…that way…–MR. TRUMP’S RIGHT.
 
And I won't say …–WHO, but I saw one of our…Republican people, the other day, making a speech with a big, fat teleprompter! Anybody can do that! Right? But one of…and I don't…I don't read this speech…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS A PAPER. So…we’re…the other thing…I…have a couple of notes, right? The other thing…I don't wanna…I don't wanna sit here…da, da, da, da, da…–MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE’S READING FROM HIS PAPER–…it's so easy! Of course, you know, after about…ehm…two paragraphs, everyone's…ehm…walking out.
 
But one of the beauties of doing what I do, which…I think very few people do. A–…friend of mine said, ‘you mean you're speaking in front of 21,000…this was in Dallas, you’re speaking in front of 21,000 people, and you don't have a speech that you're gonna read? Cuz he calls me, HE–…said, ‘I'd love to see your speech, everyone's talking about it. I'd love to see your speech’.
I said, ‘I don’t have one. I speak from the heart’. And it's true! I speak…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…from the heart. I speak…from the heart. And the brain, by the way! We don't want just heart, folks! We want brain! let me change it around, I speak from the brain, but I also speak from the heart.
 
But…but, one of the beauties is we can talk about things that took place two hours ago. Nobody's writing, and speeches, and…you know. And look what happened…a couple of days ago, with…in…Iran, right? With the embassy, with the Saudi Arabia…I saw that, and I said, ‘here we go! They’ve taken over Yemen!’. They're really working hard for Yemen…! They don't want Yemen. They wanna go into Saudi Arabia.
 
Now, here's the problem. Saudi Arabia executed all these people…not good! Okay!? Not good! You know, we have no babies over there. This is not a…deal. I wanna get back to rebuilding our country. We’d…but we gotta straighten that out now. Because we can't have people cutting off Christians heads, and everybody else's heads…and…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and we can't have people…!
 
I…I was against the war in Iraq. A lot of people said, ‘Oh, he is too tough! He's too tough!’. I was against the war in Iraq! You gotta know when to use it! Because I said, ‘you're gonna destabilize the Middle East’. So it cost us two trillion dollars; thousands of lives; wounded warriors all over the place, who I love! These are the greatest people! That…the spirit they have…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…they’re the greatest people! They're the best people! All over the place…right!? But you gotta know when to use it!
 
So I was against…and…here's a story: we need somebody with great compassion, because we have…difficulty. We have people that…need help, you gotta help them. You know, a lot of times they say, ‘as a Republican, you're not supposed to say that’. And my attitude is that I have to say…something other than that. What's the purpose of doing it? And we can do it. When we bring our jobs back to this country, we're gonna save Social Security; we're going to save Medicare! So many of these people…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…so many of these people…that I'm running against, they wanna destroy Social Security! You've been paying into it for years…! Especially the older people! They’ve been paying…you've been paying it into for years…and years…! …and now they wanna raise ages, and do this, and do that. I don't wanna do that. I wanna take our money back. Because in the history of the world…there has never been a greater theft…than what China…has done to our country…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true!
 
Now, multiply that by a lot of other countries doing the same thing, but on a smaller scale. There’s never been! We've rebuilt…China! When you go over there and you see the bridges, and you see the tunnels, and you see the kind of money, the airports…! And then we land at LaGuardia, with its potholes in the runway. We're like a third-world country. We've become a dumping ground for the rest of the world. We can't have it anymore folks! We can't have it anymore! Not gonna happen! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Not gonna happen!
 
So we're going to save Social Security, and I mean it its form. We're going to save Social Security, we're gonna save Medicare. We're gonna get rid of this crazy Common Core, which is the most insane…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…which is the most insane thing…where…your children. in South Carolina…your children are educated…by people, and bureaucrats…that make a lot of money…! …living in Washington DC. I don't think so! Not gonna happen! Not gonna happen!
 
And you know, people like…like Jeb Bush, I don't wanna bring up his name, because he's down at two percent in the polls! He spent…–CROWD CHEERS–…think of this! He spent sixty-eight million dollars…right? And this is…a great thing! I love talking about this, but now I'm gonna actually start to spend money. Because I don't wanna take a chance. I'm afraid to take a chance, right? But Jeb…spent sixty-eight million dollars, on his campaign. He's down…here! …–MR. TRUMP SHOWS WITH HIS HANDS. Like…really, really low! Okay!? I spent nothing, and I'm number one! Now…I spent nothing! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, practically nothing! I pay for fuel, right? You know…but…I spend very little.
 
And…wouldn't it be nice if our country…could spend very little, and be number one…? …as opposed to…always…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…really, the mentality. Wouldn’t that be nice? No, wouldn't that be nice!? Think of this: I'm a big believer in education. So education. We're ranked number 28 in the world…and yet, in terms of…payment per pupil, we're number one by far! Number two is so far back…you wouldn't even believe it. So we spend…much more…than any other country, by far! By far! And yet…we're ranked number 28 in the world. We have third world countries…that have…better educational system than us: So we gotta do something about it! We gotta to do something!
 
So…with my campaign, I look at it the same way! But wouldn't it be great, though, if we could do that? It's…we spend less, and we get a better result. That's what I want. And that's what we're gonna do! And that's what we’re gonna do…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…often times, I get accused of tone. Now, I'm a very reasonable man, I told you, I didn't wanna go into…Iraq. I'm the one that didn't wanna go. I'm the only one, I think…! …that didn't wanna go in. You know, Hillary voted for it. I think Rand Paul, maybe…I mean…but it's irrelevant now. It doesn't matter. But…I think he might have been there, you know. But…I didn't wanna go in…I'm the most militaristic person…there is! But you gotta know when, and where, and all that stuff. You can't do this!
 
And the other day, Putin. He said, ‘Donald Trump is brilliant. And Donald Trump is their real leader. And he's killing everybody. And…he's a brilliant guy’. And they want me to denounce him! –CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. I wanna say, ‘play it again Putin! I love it! Give me more!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They want me to denounce it!
 
We will get along…in the world, and my temperament is great. They…–OPPOSING CANDIDATES–…say ‘the tone’! My ‘tone’! That my tone isn't nice. You know…they're killing us all over the world. We're fighting wars all over the world. Who the hell cares about…!? We want tough tone! We gotta have tough tone! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We gotta have tough tone! And we've gotta be unpredictable. You know, I…I hated telling the oil thing. You know, for years I've been saying, ‘take the oil; take the oil; take the oil’, right? I've been saying it.
They've all said, ‘oh! That doesn't work! That's no good! It can’t…’. I said, ‘why is it no good?’. ISIS is fueling themselves…with the oil, right!? Everybody knows that. Like a million dollars a day, with oil. They're making a fortune. And I said, ‘take the oil! Take the oil!’. And Obama's White House would say, ‘well, that wouldn't work’. Why wouldn't it work!? I mean, they're making most…now, they're also making a lot of money with the banking stuff. Oh, do I know banking! Nobody knows banking…there's no banker that knows banking like me. Coming in through all sorts of crazy circuits, and channels. And let me tell you: I know how to end that. But we have to drive them into poverty! Right now they're making a fortune.
 
So I said, ‘take the oil’. They didn't do it. All of a sudden, a couple of weeks ago, they started hitting the oil. But I wanted to not just hit the oil, I wanted to take the oil! And I wanted to give some of that profit…to wounded warriors, and two Vets, and to families…who lost children! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. And you wouldn't even have ISIS right now! And frankly, without Hillary Clinton…and the stupid decision she made…along with our president, you wouldn't have ISIS right now! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you wouldn't have the migration either!
 
By the way, you wouldn't have the migration! You wouldn't have this big, unbelievable, and …and heartbreaking migration! It was all bad decisions! All bad decisions! And we're gonna stop it. And we're gonna do things that are gonna be great.
 
Now, many of the greatest business people have backed me. Carl Icahn, as an example. He's a great businessman. A lot of people, maybe you've heard of them, maybe you haven't. But…Carl Icahn –IS, a great, great businessman. Very rich guy…he doesn’t want money! He would love to do something. if I…as an example, I'll say, ‘Carl, handle China’. That's it, go away! Go home! Go back! Relax! It's gonna be just fine! It's gonna come down, down, down…all of it, it’s gonna be…and you know what the…? …the impact…!? When we lose 505 in…terms of trade. We’re losing five hundred and five billion…dollars a year!? 505 billion…! What the hell!?
 
Now, I have a friend who's a great manufacturer. He can't do business with China! They come in and they dump all this stuff. When we wanna do it, he can't get in! And when he does get in, he has to pay a massive tax! That's not the deal! The deal is…no tax! Right!? Free! Free borders! Yeah! It's free for us! But it's not…! …it is…absolutely…horrible, what's going on.
 
Japan also! They just lowered the Yen…–THE JAPANESE CURRENCY–…they're killing us! Caterpillar, look at Caterpillar stock. Look at Komatsu. They have Komatsu. They make…they make excavators, and things, bulldozers. Good company. Not as good as Caterpillar. The machineries not as good, but it's good! And I have a friend, he just bought a big order of Komatsu, he said they've devalued the Yen to such an extent…to such an unbelievable extent…and I see him, he's like depressed! All his life he's bought Caterpillar. Take a look at Caterpillar now! Take a look at their stock! And I've been talking about this for two years! And I knew it just from the one friend! Because he's a big buyer of equipment! And always fought Caterpillar. Now he's buying Komatsu, from Japan. How the hell do we let them do this!? How do we let him get away with it!?
 
We have Caroline Kennedy as our…trade negotiators, our ambassador. She didn't even know what…she…she was…she knew…she was…like…it was the craziest thing! She said, ‘I'd like a job’.
‘Would you like to be Ambassador to Japan?’. It was on 60 minutes…–AN AMERICAN TV. SHOW.
She said, ‘really!’’. And this is…–CROWD LAUGHS–…and this is…who we have negotiating with some of the greatest killers in the world! Abe…–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO MR. PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN, SHINZO ABE–…the new boss! He's the best one they've had in 50 years. Lowering the Yen, lowering the Yen. They're killing us! We can't…let it…continue. And it won't continue with me. I have the best people in the world! The best! I have…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
I have…the greatest…I…look, I know well…I know all of them. Some are great. Some aren't so good. Some are overrated. Some are phenomenal. Some you've never heard of them, they’re better than all of them. I have the best! I have…people calling me…that are worth billions of dollars, that have made a fortune, that are phenomenal…they wanna do…they don’t want any money! They wanna do it! I say, ‘Japan, you work on it’. China, ‘you work on it’. I mean, guys like Carl Icahn…we will make our country rich again…fast! We will make our country great again! We will make our country great again! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And…you know, at one of the rallies, a woman came up. A beautiful woman, an older woman, she came up to me, and she said, ‘Mr. Trump, it doesn't sound good when you say we're gonna make our country rich again’.
I said, ‘I gotta make it rich before I can’t make it great! We don't have any money! We're a debtor nation! I gotta get rid of this 19 trillion dollars!’…–CROWD CHEERS. 19 trillion! And now with this horrible deal, just made by the Republicans…! …it's going up to 21 trillion dollars! 21 trillion dollars!
And I said, ‘so, just…’.
Then she said to me, same woman, she said, ‘do you think you're nice…enough…to be President?’.
I said, ‘I really am! I think I'm a nice guy! I love people! I'm doing this because I love people!’. But I said, ‘but I'll be honest with you: I don't think it matters. This is going to be…an election…of competence, not niceness’. We're tired of…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–...gonna be an election of competence.
 
So…what we're going to do…is we're gonna have strong borders! And we're gonna have the wall, and the wall is gonna be great. And we're gonna let people come in; and they're gonna come in legally, and we're gonna be really proud of ourselves. We’re gonna have a country back again.
We're gonna get rid of our…health care problems…that we have now, in terms of…Obamacare. It's gonna be gone, and we're gonna come up with great plans. We have so many great plans. They’re so phenomenal; they’re so much better, and so much cheaper! And by the way, not only you…it's also the country! The country is paying so much! You're paying so much! You know, you think of yourselves…Obamacare is gonna be unaffordable by the country! You know, you're trying to cut costs. This thing is…is mushrooming. It's a disaster!
 
So we're gonna fix that. We're gonna fix our military. It's gonna be so strong, and so big, and so powerful…! …that nobody's ever gonna mess around with us! Nobody! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Nobody! Nobody…is going to mess around with us. We're gonna take care of our great Vets! Because they have been mistreated…and they're not taking care of…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We are gonna knock the shit out of ISIS, and it's gonna happen! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. It's gonna happen fast! Gonna happen…! And it's gonna happen fast! …–CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
And just to end, I just wanna say, right from the beginning, South Carolina has been with me. We've had biggest crowds…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we've had the best polling numbers! We've had the best polling numbers; we've had the best everything;
I love you people. We are going to make…America…great…again. I love you! Thank you! Thank you very much!
