We have great people, we have a depleted military.
I told you about the jet fighters. Well it's like that with so many other things. So we are going to take care of our military.
Our military and the strength of our military and the strengthening of our military is a number one priority for the Trump administration.
I think it's going to be a pivot of spirit for the country, a period of smart deals for the country, a stronger military.
I would immediately start working on the military [as a President] . We have to build up our depleted military. And I would start working on repealing and replacing Obamacare.
I respect people in the military. And I always have, at least since I've been there.
The U.S. has subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military.
[People] want to see great trade deals, they want to see a strong military. They want to see reduced debt, because we are at a point where we are going to be soon at $19 trillion and they just, you know, they can't stand seeing it.
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've ordered plans to begin for the massive rebuilding of the United States military. Had great support from the Senate. I've had great support from congress, generally. We've pursued this rebuilding in the hopes that we will never have to use this military.
I would be so happy if we never had to use [military].
I'm about jobs. I'm about the fence. I'm about borders. I'm about a lot of things. I'm about our vets. I'm about strong military. You know, whether you break it down into men or women or anybody else, I mean, I think people want to hear that and I'm much better at it than Hillary Clinton is.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, who has risked so many lives with her careless handling of sensitive information, my administration will not telegraph exactly military plans and what they are.
People are disgusted. They're disgusted with their politicians. They're disgusted with our trade deals. They're disgusted with the fact that the military can't even beat ISIS. Can you imagine telling General George Patton we can't beat ISIS?
I recently returned from a trip overseas that included deals for more than $350 billion worth of military and economic investment in the United States. These deals will bring many thousands of jobs to our country and, in fact, will bring millions of jobs, ultimately, and help Saudi Arabia take a greater role in providing stability and security in that region.
We need to fix the military, help veterans, our inner cities are a disaster, you get shot walking to the store. We cannot take 4 more years of Barack Obama, and that's what you get if you get Hillary Clinton.
I'm rebuilding the military. We have great people. We have tremendous borders. I mention the F-35 because if I can save $725 million — look at that, that's a massive amount of money. And I'll save more as we make more planes. If I can save that on a small number of planes — Gen. Jim Mattis said, “I've never seen anything like this,” because he had to sign the ultimate. He had to sign the ultimate, you know. He said, “I've never seen anything like this before, as long as I've been in the military.” You know, that kind of cutting.
Our country doesn't win anymore. We don't win on trade. We don't win on the military. We can't defeat ISIS. We're not taking care of our great people, the veterans. We're not taking care of them.
Well, at least I definitely know the military likes Trump, right? That's great, it's - you're amazing people, are great people and I very much appreciate it.
I will make certain that our military is the best in the world in both cyber offense and defense and in every other way, by the way. Every other way.
When it comes to the military, we have no choice. We cannot have a depleted military.
We are going to repeal the Obama-Clinton defense sequester and we are going to rebuild the military of the United States which is very, sadly, depleted.
These new investments in cyber security and the modernization of our military will spur substantial new job creation in the private sector and help create the jobs and technologies of tomorrow. It's what we have to do. America must be the world's dominant technological powerhouse of the twenty-first century, and young Americans - including in our inner cities - should get these new jobs!
We must also ensure that we have the best medical care, education, and support for our military service members and their families, both when they serve and when they return to civilian life.
I am for massive oil and gas and everything else and a lot of energy. Vladimir Putin can't love that. I am for the strongest military that the United States ever had. Putin can't love that. But Hillary Clinton was not for a strong military. And Hillary, my opponent, was for windmills. And she was for other types of energy that don't have the same capacities, at this moment, certainly.
