I've heard it for years, if you're very successful you can't run for high office, especially for President. I said, I don't care, I don't care. I've done so many deals, I've done so well. It's a certain mindset that we need in America, at least for a period of time, we have to straighten our country out.
The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election [2016]. As an example, just one single trade deal they'd like to pass involves trillions of dollars, controlled by many countries, corporations and lobbyists.
[Establishment] raided the wealth for themselves and taken our jobs away out of our country never to return unless I'm elected president.
With trillions of dollars on the line, the [Hillary] Clinton machine is determined to achieve the destruction of our campaign, not gonna to happen. Which has now become a great, great movement, the likes of which our country has never seen before, never ever.
The last thing our country needs is four more years of Barack Obama, believe me. I've seen first hand the corruption and the sickness that has taken over our politics. You've seen it and I've seen it and we're all watching together.
They [the establishment] will allow radical Islamic terrorists to enter our country by the thousands.
I'm doing this [running for presidency] for the people and for the movement, and we will take back this country for you and we will make America great again.
In the Trump administration we will end decades of policies that enrich special interests and foreign countries at our expense.
We're going to take on the big media, big business, and big donors that are bleeding our country dry. We're losing our jobs.
Premiums are soaring double digits in North Carolina, beyond anybody's wildest expectations. [Obamacare] is a disaster and you're - and you know what's going on. Your country will be left with only one insurer. You're going to have nothing, everyone's leaving. And you have one insurer.
So you have 25 days to make every dream you ever dreamed of for your country come true. But to beat the system, you have to pound the pavement, get your friends and co-workers out, organize your neighbors and fight for the country you want.
Imagine what our country could accomplish if we started working together as one people under one God saluting one American flag.
We have to be honest about the fact that not everyone who seeks to join our country will be able to successfully assimilate. Sometimes it's just not going to work out.
Hillary Clinton will be very weak on the border. She wants people just to flow in terms of illegal immigration. People are going to flow into the country. And it's going to be a disaster.
The failure to establish a new Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq, and the election-driven timetable for withdrawal, surrendered our gains in that country and led directly to the rise of ISIS.
When a secretary of state illegally stores her emails on a private server, deletes 33,000 of them so the authorities can't see her crime, puts our country at risk, lies about it in every different form and faces no consequence, I know that corruption has reached a level like never, ever before in America!
To make life safe for all of our citizens, we must also address the growing threats we face from outside the country. We are going to defeat the barbarians of ISIS and we're going to defeat them fast!
In America, we must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism. Until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place, we don't want them in our country.
While America may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms.
Democrats and Republicans should get together and unite for the good of our country and for the good of the American people.
There are some great reporters around. They're talented, they're honest as the day is long. They're great. But there are some terrible, dishonest people, and they do a tremendous disservice to our country and to our people.
Whether they love me or don't love me, they think I know what I'm doing and that people aren't gonna be taking advantage of the country. So if I had my choice, I'd love to keep doing what I'm doing. The country is in serious, serious trouble, like it's never been before. And that's why I'm saying: Would I rather stay in Trump Tower? Would I rather stay and lead the life I'm leading - and you know something about my life. It's very good.
This country is in such trouble, we're losing so badly. No one wants to strike back. We need to be smart and fast and furious right now.
I think we need strength. I think we also need somebody that can be a cheerleader. He's been a great divider in this country. I think race relations now are as bad as they've ever been. I guess they have, statistically, the worst they've been in 18 years. I don't know what 18 years means, how do they determine that, but I can tell you they're bad and they haven't been this bad in a long time. And we have somebody that really was in a position to do just the opposite, but this tremendous divide in this country. I see it, everybody sees it.
It's clear now that Donald Trump and his administration doesn't want the start a trade war. What we are seeing is a very careful and meticulous review of all the tools they have available and to use those to start bringing cases against countries under existing law that they think are unfair.
