The people that did it the way they were supposed to do it, the way they were taught in school: save your money, so that when you retire.They get nothing. They have nothing. They were going to live off the interest of the money. They don't have money. And then on top of it you had the problems of nine years ago [in 2005] with the mortgages so half of them their houses have been taken away.
The many - and by the way, white, black, Asian, it covers everybody. Evangelicals, conservatives, Tea Partyers. Everybody has been hurt by the incompetent way that our government is run. By incompetent negotiators.
I really think I am a nice person. [But] this is not going to be an election on niceness. This is going to be an election on competence.
I know hedge-fund guys that are making hundreds of millions of dollars a year and pay no tax. And I want to lower [tax] for the middle income. The middle class in this country has been decimated.
I think you need clarity with financing [for presidency campaign]. I do think this. I think that you need clarity, you have to be able to see who's giving.
We have to build the wall. We have to stop drugs from pouring in. We have to stop people from just pouring into our country. We have no idea where they're from.
We have to bring back law and order in this country and I think the police are phenomenal people.
I think there's always bad apples [in police], and I've seen things that I don't like. But we have to bring back law and order. You have policemen now that are afraid to talk to anybody because they don't want to lose their job.
[Barack] Obama is the great divider, he has totally used race. And it should have been the other way around. He had an opportunity to unify and he didn't do that.
What I'm doing is good for the United States. It's also going to be good for Mexico.
[Race relations in 2015 are] almost as bad as they have ever been in the history of the country.
We are sitting on many powder kegs. Whether it's Ferguson, or St Louis, or like the other night, or Baltimore. Or different parts of Chicago.
I'm strongly into the Bible; I'm strongly into God and religion.I'm pro-life and different things.
You can't have thousands of people being shot in a city, in a country that I happen to be president of. Maybe it's OK if somebody else is president.
I don't want to have thousands of people shot in a city where, essentially, I'm the president.
I'm using the laws of the nation to my benefit. And I should do that, it's to my benefit. Now, when, if I am running the country I will use that same ability that I have, because I have always had the ability to make a lot of money. I'll use that same ability to make our nation rich again, because it sounds like, not nice, some people said, oh that's a harsh word, "rich". We can't be great again until we are rich.
When they're shooting, when they're chopping off the heads of our people and other people, when they are chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be a Christian in the Middle East, when ISIS is doing things that nobody has ever heard of since medieval times, would I feel strongly about waterboarding? As far as I'm concerned, we have to fight fire with fire.
I don't want people to chop off the citizens' or anybody's heads in the Middle East, OK? Because they're Christian or Muslim or anything else.
I think I see a tremendous amount of waste. I see a tremendous amount of job opportunities that have been let go for many years, and I'm not just talking about President Obama. I'm talking about for many, many years. And I was a big, big fan of Ronald Reagan, but I was a never big fan on trade with respect to Ronald Reagan.
I just think we've had years and years of allowing our jobs to be dissipated in America, and there's no reason for it.
I'm going to be the president of a safe country. We have enough problems.
I don't want terror in America.
We have spent, right now, $6 trillion in the Middle East, and America is falling apart. It's not right.
I don't want to do a lot of talking on the military. I want to talk after it's finished, not before it starts.
I want to take care of everybody. I'm not going to leave the lower 20 percent that can't afford insurance. Just so you understand, people talk about Obamacare, and I told the Republicans this. The best thing we can do is nothing for two years, let it explode, and then we'll go in and we'll do a new plan and the Democrats will vote for it, believe me.
