CUTTER BUT AS A POPULIST,
SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO
RENEGOTIATE TRADE DEALS, THAT'S
SOMETHING HE BELIEVES WILL
RESONATE WITH VOTERS WHO MAY NOT
BE TRADITIONAL REPUBLICAN
VOTERS. >> WE SEE DONALD TRUMP HAS TAKEN
THE STAGE THERE.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND LISTEN IN,
TRUMP AT HIS PENNSYLVANIA RALLY.
>> I WANT TO THANK RICK SANTORUM
FROM BEING HERE. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND I
HAVE TO SAY ALL OF THE AMAZING
WORKERS, GABE SAID THEY'RE THE
MOST IMPORTANT. THE AMAZING WORKERS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
AND I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
SOME VERY, VERY TOUGH TIMES, BUT
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT BETTER
AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT
BETTER FAST, OKAY?
JUST WATCH.
SO TODAY I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT
HOW TO MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY
AGAIN. HAVE TO DO IT.
WE'RE 30 MILES FROM STEEL CITY
PITTSBURGH PLAYED A CENTRAL ROLE
IN BUILDING OUR NATION.
THE LEGACY OF THE STEEL WORKERS
LIVE IN THE BRIDGES AND
SKYSCRAPERS. BUT OUR WORKERS' LOYALTY WAS
REPAID -- YOU KNOW IT BETTER
THAN ANYBODY -- WITH TOTAL
BETRAYAL. OUR POLITICIANS HAVE
AGGRESSIVELY PURSUED A POLICY OF
GLOBALIZATION, MOVING OUR JOBS,
OUR WEALTH AND OUR FACTORIES TO
MEXICO AND OVERSEAS.
GLOBALIZATION HAS MADE THE
FINANCIAL ELITE WHO DONATE TO
POLITICIANS VERY, VERY WEALTHY.
I USED TO BE ONE OF THEM.
[ APPLAUSE ] HATE TO SAY IT, BUT I USED TO BE
ONE.
BUT IT'S LEFT MILLIONS OF OUR
WORKERS WITH NOTHING BUT POVERTY
AND HEARTACHE.
WHEN SUBSIDIZED FOREIGN STEEL IS
DUMPED INTO OUR MARKETS,
THREATENING OUR FACTORIES, THE
POLITICIANS HAVE PROVEN, FOLKS,
HAVE PROVEN, THEY DO NOTHING.
FOR YEARS THEY WATCHED ON THE
SIDELINES AS OUR JOBS VANISHED
AND OUR COMMUNITIES WERE PLUNGED
INTO DEPRESSION LEVEL
UNEMPLOYMENT.
MANY OF THESE AREAS HAVE STILL
NEVER RECOVERED AND NEVER WILL
UNLESS I BECOME PRESIDENT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THEN THEY'RE GOING RECOVER FAST.
OUR POLITICIANS TOOK AWAY FROM
THE PEOPLE THEIR MEANS OF MAKING
A LIVING AND SUPPORTING THEIR
FAMILIES.
SKILLED CRAFTSMEN AND TRADES
PEOPLE AND FACTORY WORKERS HAVE
SEEN THE JOBS THEY LOVE SHIPPED
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF MILES
AWAY. MANY PENNSYLVANIA TOWNS ONCE
THRIVING AND HUMMING ARE NOW IN
A STATE OF TOTAL DISREPAIR.
THIS WAVE OF GLOBALIZATION HAS
WIPED OUT TOTALLY, TOTALLY, OUR
MIDDLE-CLASS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.
WE CAN TURN IT AROUND AND WE CAN
TURN IT AROUND FAST.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO DELIVER
REAL CHANGE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO REJECT THE CAMPAIGN OF FEAR
AND INTIMIDATION BEING PURSUED
BY POWERFUL CORPORATIONS, MEDIA
ELITES AND POLITICAL DYNASTIES.
THE PEOPLE WHO RIGGED THE SYSTEM
FOR THEIR BENEFIT WILL DO
ANYTHING AND SAY ANYTHING TO
KEEP THINGS EXACTLY THE WAY THEY
ARE. THE PEOPLE WHO RIGGED THE SYSTEM
ARE SUPRTING HILLARY CLINTON
BECAUSE THEY KNOW AS LONG AS SHE
IS IN CHARGE NOTHING'S GOING TO
CHANGE. THE INNER CITIES WILL REMAIN
POOR, THE FACTORIES WILL REMAIN
CLOSED, THE BORDERS WILL REMAIN
OPEN.
THE SPECIAL INTERESTS WILL
REMAIN FIRMLY IN CONTROL,
HILLARY CLINTON AND HER FRIENDS
IN GLOBAL FINANCE WANT TO SCARE
AMERICA INTO THINKING SMALL AND
THEY WANT TO SCARE AMERICAN
PEOPLE OUT OF VOTING FOR THE
BETTER FUTURE AND YOU HAVE A
GREAT FUTURE, FOLKS, YOU HAVE A
GREAT FUTURE.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN HER TENS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
MY CAMPAIGN HAS THE ABSOLUTE
OPPOSITE MESSAGE.
I WANT YOU TO EMERGENCY A MUCH
BETTER LIFE AND A LIFE WHERE YOU
CAN BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN
DREAM AGAIN.
RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE HOW MUCH
BETTER OUR FUTURE CAN BE IF WE
DECLARE INDEPENDENCE FROM THE
ELITES WHO LED US FROM ONE
FINANCIAL AND FOREIGN POLICY
DISASTER TO ANOTHER.
OUR FRIENDS IN BRITAIN RECENTLY
VOTED TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF
THEIR ECONOMY, POLITICS AND
BORDERS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT
ISSUE AS YOU KNOW WITH THE
PEOPLE. I WAS THERE, I SAID IT WAS GOING
TO HAPPEN, I FELT IT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WHILE HILLARY, AS ALWAYS, STOOD
WITH THE ELITES AND BOTH SHE AND
PRESIDENT OBAMA PREDICTED THAT
ONE AND MANY OTHERS TOTALLY
WRONG.
NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE TO TAKE BACK THEIR
FUTURE.
TAKE IT BACK.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THAT'S THE CHOICE WE FACE.
WE CAN EITHER GIVE INTO HILLARY
CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN OF FEAR OR WE
CAN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE AGAIN IN
AMERICA.
[ APPLAUSE ]
VERY SADLY, WE LOST OUR WAY WHEN
WE STOPPED BELIEVING IN OUR
COUNTRY.
AMERICA BECAME THE WORLD'S
DOMINANT ECONOMY BY BECOMING THE
WORLD'S DOMINANT PRODUCER.
YOU KNOW THAT FROM RIGHT HERE
RIGHT IN THIS PLANT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THE WEALTH IS CREATED, SHARED
BROADLY, CREATING THE BIGGEST
MIDDLE-CLASS THE WORLD HAS EVER
KNOWN. BUT THEN AMERICA CHANGED ITS
POLICY FROM PROMOTING
DEVELOPMENT IN AMERICA, IN, IN,
IN AMERICA TO PROMOTING
DEVELOPMENT IN OTHER NATIONS.
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING AND
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED.
WE ALLOWED FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO
SUBSIDIZE THEIR GOODS, DEVALUE
THEIR CURRENCIES, VIOLATE THEIR
AGREEMENTS AND CHEAT IN EVERY
WAY IMAGINABLE AND OUR
POLITICIANS DID NOTHING ABOUT
IT.
TRILLIONS OF OUR DOLLARS AND
MILLIONS OF OUR JOBS FLOAT
OVERSEA AS A RESULT.
I HAVE VISITED CITIES AND TOWNS
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY WHERE A
THIRD OR EVEN HALF OF
MANUFACTURING JOBS HAVE BEEN
WIPED OUT IN THE LAST 20 YEARS.
TODAY WE IMPORT NEARLY $800
BILLION MORE IN GOODS THAN WE
EXPORT.
CAN'T CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
THIS IS NOT SOME NATURAL
DISASTER, IT'S A POLITICAL AND
POLITICIAN MADE DISASTER, VERY
SIMPLE, AND IT CAN BE CORRECTED
AND WE CAN CORRECT IT FAST WHEN
WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH THE RIGHT
THINKING RIGHT UP HERE IT'S THE
CONSEQUENCE --
[ APPLAUSE ]
IT IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF A
LEADERSHIP CLASS THAT WORSHIPS
GLOBALISM OVER AMERICANNESS.
THIS IS A DIRECT AFFRONT TO OUR
FOUNDING FATHERS WHO AMERICA
WANTED TO BE STRONG, THEY WANTED
THIS COUNTRY TO BE STRONG AND
THEY WANTED IT TO BE INDEPENDENT
AND THEY WANTED IT TO BE FREE.
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS UNDERSTOOD
TRADE MUCH BETTER THAN OUR
CURRENT POLITICIANS, BELIEVE ME.
GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID THAT THE
PROMOTION OF DOMESTIC
MANUFACTURING WILL BE AMONG THE
FIRST CONSEQUENCES TO FLOW FROM
AN ENERGETIC GOVERNMENT.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON SPOKE
FREQUENTLY OF THE EXPEDIENCY OF
ENCOURAGING MANUFACTURING IN,
IN, IN THE UNITED STATES
[ APPLAUSE ]
AND LISTEN TO THIS.
THE FIRST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, WARNED THAT THE
ABANDONMENT OF THE PROTECTIVE
POLICY BY THE AMERICAN
GOVERNMENT WILL PRODUCE WANT AND
RUIN AMONG OUR PEOPLE.
HE UNDERSTAND IT MUCH BETTER
THAN OUR CURRENT POLITICIANS.
THAT'S WHY HE WAS ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, I GUESS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
OUR ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION DIDN'T
EVEN HAVE AN INCOME TAX.
INSTEAD IT HAD TARIFFS
EMPHASIZING TAXATION OF FOREIGN
NOT DOMESTIC PRODUCTION YET
TODAY, 24 YEARS AFTER THE
REVOLUTION WE'VE TURNED THINGS
COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN, WE TAX
AND REGULATE AND RESTRICT OUR
COMPANIES TO DEATH AND THEN WE
ALLOW FOREIGN COUNTRIES THAT
CHEAT TO EXPORT THEIR GOODS TO
US, TAX FREE.
HOW STUPID IS THIS?
HOW COULD IT HAPPEN?
HOW STUPID IS THIS?
[ APPLAUSE ]
AS A RESULT WE HAVE BECOME MORE
DEPENDENT ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES
THAN EVER BEFORE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S TIME
TO DECLARE OUR ECONOMIC
INDEPENDENCE ONCE AGAIN.
THAT MEANS
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THAT MEANS VOTING FOR DONALD
TRUMP
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I'LL DO IT, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT,
NOT EVEN A LITTLE DOUBT.
IT ALSO MEANS REVERSING TWO OF
THE WORST LEGACIES OF THE
CLINTON YEARS.
AMERICA HAS LOST NEARLY
ONE-THIRD OF ITS MANUFACTURING
JOBS SINCE 1997 EVEN AS THE
COUNTRY HAS INCREASED ITS
POPULATION -- THINK OF THIS --
BY 50 MILLION PEOPLE.
AT THE CENTER OF THIS
CATASTROPHE ARE TWO TRADE DEALS
PUSHED BY BILL AND HILLARY
CLINTON.
FIRST, THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE
TRADE AGREEMENT OR THE DISASTER
CALLED NAFTA.
SECOND, CHINA'S ENTRY INTO THE
WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.
NAFTA WAS THE WORST TRADE DEAL
IN THE HISTORY, LIKE THE HISTORY
OF THIS COUNTRY AND CHINA'S
ENTRANCE INTO THE WORLD TRADE
ORGANIZATION HAS ENABLED THE
GREATEST JOB THEFT IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
IT WAS BILL CLINTON WHO SIGNED
NAFTA. PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER.
IN 1993.
AND HILLARY CLINTON WHO
SUPPORTED IT AND THE HAVOC THAT
IT WREAKED AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE
WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
IT WAS ALSO BILL CLINTON WHO
LOBBIED FOR CHINA'S DISASTROUS
ENTRY INTO THE WORLD TRADE
ORGANIZATION AND HILLARY CLINTON
WHO BACKED THAT TERRIBLE,
TERRIBLE AGREEMENT.
THEN AS SECRETARY OF STATE,
HILLARY CLINTON STOOD BY IDLY
WHILE CHINA CHEATED ON ITS
CURRENCY, ADDED ANOTHER TRILLION
DOLLARS TO OUR TRADE DEFICITS
AND STOLE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IN OUR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY. [ APPLAUSE ]
AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
CHINA FOR MANY YEARS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOBODY LISTENED BUT THEY'RE
LISTENING NOW THAT I CAN TELL
YOU
[ APPLAUSE ]
THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH AND THE
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA HAVE LOST
ONE-THIRD OF THEIR MANUFACTURING
JOBS SINCE THE CLINTONS PUT
CHINA INTO THE WTO.
50,000 FACTORIES ACROSS AMERICA
HAVE SHUT THEIR DOORS IN THAT
TIME AND THIS FACTORY, BECAUSE
OF YOUR GREAT OWNERS, ABE AND
GLORIA, IT'S HANGING IN, HANGING
IN BUT THEY JUST TOLD ME IT'S
NOT EASY.
ALMOST HALF OF OUR ENTIRE
MANUFACTURING TRADE DEFICIT IN
GOODS WITH THE WORLD IS A RESULT
AND IT'S THE RESULT OF TRADE
WITH CHINA.
IT WAS ALSO HILLARY CLINTON AS
SECRETARY OF STATE WHO SHOVED US
INTO A JOB-KILLING DEAL WITH
SOUTH KOREA.
AS REPORTED BY THE ECONOMIC
POLICY INSTITUTE IN MAY, THIS
DEAL DOUBLED OUR TRADE DEFICIT
WITH SOUTH KOREA AND DESTROYED
NEARLY 100,000 AMERICAN JOBS.
AS BERNIE SANDERS SAID, HILLARY
CLINTON VOTED FOR VIRTUALLY
EVERY TRADE AGREEMENT THAT HAS
COST THE WORKERS OF THIS COUNTRY
MILLIONS, MILLIONS OF JOBS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
TRADE REFORM AND THE NEGOTIATION OF GREAT TRADE DEALS IS THE
QUICKEST WAY TO BRING OUR JOBS
BACK TO OUR COUNTRY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
TO UNDERSTAND WHY TRADE REFORM
CREATES JOB AND IT CREATES A LOT
OF IT, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW
ALL NATIONS GROW AND PROSPER.
MASSIVE TRADE DEFICITS SUBTRACT
DIRECTLY FROM OUR GROSS DOMESTIC
PRODUCT.
IN 1
FROM 1947 TO 2001, OUR GROSS
DOMESTIC PRODUCT GREW AT A RATE
OF 3.35%.
HOWEVER, SINCE 2002, THE YEAR
AFTER WE FULLY OPENED OUR
MARKETS TO CHINESE IMPORTS THAT
GDP GROWTH RATE HAS BEEN CUT IN
HALF.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR AMERICANS?
NOT GOOD.
FOR EVERY 1% OF GDP GROWTH WE
FAIL TO GENERATE IN ANY GIVEN
YEAR, WE ALSO FAIL TO CREATE
OVER 1 MILLION JOBS.
WHAT A WASTE.
AND WHAT A SAD, SATURDAY THING.
AMERICA'S JOB CREATION DEFICIT
IS WELL OVER 20 MILLION JOBS AND
THAT'S JUST ABOUT THE NUMBER OF
JOBS OUR COUNTRY NEEDS RIGHT NOW
TO PUT AMERICA BACK TO WORK AT
DECENT WAGES.
WAGES ARE VERY LOW BECAUSE
THERE'S NO COMPETITION THEY'RE
GOING GO UP BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
TO THRIVE AGAIN AS A COUNTRY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THE TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP IS
THE GREATEST DANGER YET.
THE PEA PEA PEA, AS IT'S KNOWN,
WOULD BE THE DEATH BLOW FOR
AMERICAN MANUFACTURING.
IT WOULD GIVE UP ALL OF OUR
ECONOMIC LEVERAGE TO AN
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION THAT
WOULD PUT THE INTERESTS OF
FOREIGN COUNTRIES ABOVE OUR OWN.
IT WOULD FURTHER OPEN OUR
MARKETS TO AGGRESSIVE CURRENCY
CHEATERS. CHEATERS, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE,
CHEATERS. THEY'RE NOT PLAYING BY THE
RULES.
THEY'RE CHEATING.
IT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO SHIP
CHEAP SUBSIDIZED GOODS INTO
UNITED STATES MARKETS WHILE
ALLOWING FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO
CONTINUE PUTTING UP BARRIERS IN
FRONT OF OUR EXPORTS, WHICH IS
WHAT THEY DO.
IT'S VERY HARD TO EXPORT TO
THEIR COUNTRIES, THEY MAKE IT
VERY DIFFICULT.
WE ON THE OTHER HAND, COME ON
IN, EVERYBODY, COME ON IN.
BAD LEADERSHIP.
THE TPP WOULD LOWER TARIFFS
WHILE LEAVING IN POLICE THE
FOREIGN PRACTICES THAT KEEP
AMERICAN CARS FROM BEING SOLD
OVERSEAS.
THAT'S NOT ALL, MARK MY WORDS.
CHINA WILL ENTER THE TPP THROUGH
THE BACK DOOR AT A LATER DATE.
THEY ARE WATCHING, THEY ARE
STUDYING, THEY'RE NOT IN IT NOW
BUT THEY'LL BE IN IT.
IF IT'S GOOD, THEY'LL BE THERE.
BY THE WAY, IF IT'S NOT GOOD,
THEY'LL PASS. SAME WAY, ALWAYS IS.
NOT ONLY WILL THE TPP UNDERMINE
OUR ECONOMY BUT IT WILL UNDERMIGHT BE MINE OUR
INDEPENDENCE, THAT'S WHAT'S
HAPPENING. THE TPP CREATES A NEW
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION THAT
MAKES DECISIONS THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER GIVEN THE
RIGHT TO VETO.
THESE COMMISSIONS ARE GREAT FOR
HILLARY'S WALL STREET FUNDERS
WHO CAN SPEND VAST AMOUNTS OF
MONEY TO INFLUENCE THE PEOPLE ON
THE COMMISSIONS AND THE
OUTCOMES. IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE, THEN,
THAT HILLARY CLINTON, ACCORDING
TO BLOOMBERG, TOOK A LEADING
PART IN DRAFTING THE
TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT.
ESPECIALLY IN NOVEMBER.
[ APPLAUSE ]
SHE PRAISED OR PUSHED THE TPP ON
45 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.
AND EVEN CALLED IT "THE GOLD
STANDARD."
HILLARY CLINTON WAS TOTALLY FOR
THE TPP JUST A SHORT WHILE AGO,
BUT WHEN SHE SAW MY STANCE,
WHICH IS TOTALLY AGAINST, SHE
WAS SHAMED INTO SAYING SHE WOULD
BE AGAINST IT, TOO.
AND I WILL TELL YOU, IT WAS THE
SAME SHAME THAT SHE HAD RECENTLY
WHERE SHE WAS SORT OF FORCED
INTO SAYING "RADICAL ISLAMIC
TERRORISM" WHICH SHE DIDN'T WANT
TO SAY BUT SHE WAS SHAMED INTO
THAT ONE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
BUT HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE WILL
IMMEDIATELY APPROVAL IT IF IT'S
PUT BEFORE HER.
AND THAT IS GUARANTEED.
GUARANTEED.
SHE WILL DO THIS JUST AS SHE'S
BETRAYED AMERICAN WORKERS FOR
WALL STREET AND THROUGHOUT HER
CAREER, HER WHOLE CAREER SHE HAS
BETRAYED THE AMERICAN WORKER.
SHE'S TRYING TO PUT ON A GOOD
FRONT NOW.
SHE WILL BETRAY YOU AGAIN, HER
CAREER AND HER HUSBAND HAVE
SIGNED SO MANY DISASTERS AND
NEVER, EVER FORGET NAFTA.
NEVER, EVER FORGET IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S DONE AND I
KNOW WHAT IT'S DONE AND IN
TOURING I'VE SEEN THE
DEVASTATION IT'S LEFT BEHIND
HERE'S HOW IT WOULD GO.
SHE WOULD MAKE A SMALL TOKEN
CHANGE, DECLARE THE TPP PACT
FIXED AND RAM IT THROUGH AND YOU
WILL SUFFER.
THAT'S WHY HILLARY IS NOW ONLY
SAYING SHE HAS PROBLEMS WITH TPP
IN ITS CURRENT FORM.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
THAT MEANS THEY'LL MAKE A IT
WILLE TWO-WORD CHANGE AND SHE'LL
FIX IT AND FEEL GREAT.
BUT SHE SAYS IN ITS CURRENT
FORM. SHE CAN RUSH TO EMBRACE IT AGAIN
AND SHE WILL AT THE EARLIEST
OPPORTUNITY.
IF THE MEDIA DOESN'T BELIEVE ME,
I HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU AND
HILLARY, ASK HILLARY IF SHE'S
WILLING TO WITHDRAW FROM THE TPP
HER FIRST DAY IN OFFICE AND
UNCONDITIONALLY RULE OUT ITS
PASSAGE IN ANY FORM.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX TPP.
WE NEED BILATERAL TRADE DEALS.
WE DO NOT NEED TO ENTER INTO
ANOTHER MASSIVE INTERNATIONAL
AGREEMENT THAT TIES US UP AND
BINDS US DOWN LIKE TPP DOES.
[ APPLAUSE ]
A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL
CHANGE OUR FAILED TRADE POLICIES
AND I MEAN QUICKLY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
HERE ARE SEVEN STEPS I WOULD
PURSUE RIGHT AWAY TO BRING BACK
OUR JOBS.
NUMBER ONE, I AM GOING TO
WITHDRAW THE UNITED STATES FROM
THE TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN RATIFIED.
[ APPLAUSE ]
I'M GOING APPOINT THE TOUGHEST
AND SMARTEST -- AND I KNOW THEM
ALL -- TRADE NEGOTIATORS TO
FIGHT ON BEHALF OF AMERICAN
WORKERS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I'M GOING DIRECT THE SECRETARY
OF COMMERCE TO IDENTIFY EVERY
VIOLATION OF TRADE AGREEMENTS A
FOREIGN COUNTRY IS USING TO HARM
YOU, THE AMERICAN WORKER.
WILL THEN DIRECT ALL APPROPRIATE
AGENCIES TO USE EVERY TOOL UNDER
AMERICAN AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
TO END THESE ABUSES AND ABUSE IS
THE RIGHT WORD.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
NUMBER FOUR, I'M GOING TO TELL
OUR NAFTA PARTNERS THAT I INTEND
TO IMMEDIATELY RENEGOTIATE THE
TERMS OF THAT AGREEMENT TO GET A
BETTER DEAL BY A LOT, NOT JUST A
LITTLE, BY A LOT FOR OUR
WORKERS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
IF THEY DON'T AGREE TO A
RENEGOTIATION, WHICH THEY MIGHT
NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE SO USED TO
HAVING THEIR OWN WAY.
NOT WITH TRUMP THEY WON'T HAVE
THEIR OWN WAY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THEN ILL SUBMIT UNDER ARTICLE
2205 OF THE NAFTA AGREEMENT THAT
AMERICA INTENDS TO WITHDRAW FROM
THE DEAL.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
NUMBER FIVE, I'M GOING TO
INSTRUCT MY TREASURY SECRETARY
TO LABEL CHINA A CURRENCY
MANIPULATOR, WHICH SHOULD HAVE
BEEN DONE YEARS AGO. [ APPLAUSE ]
ANY COUNTRY THAT DEVALUES THEIR
CURRENCY IN ORDER TO TAKE UNFAIR
ADVANTAGE OF THE UNITED
STATES -- WHICH IS MANY
COUNTRIES -- WILL BE MET WITH
SHARP
SHARPLY AND THAT INCLUDES
TARIFFS AND TAXES.
NUMBER SIX, I'M GOING TO
INSTRUCT THE U.S. TRADE
REPRESENTATIVE TO BRING TRADE
CASES AGAINST CHINA BOTH IN THIS
COUNTRY AND AT THE WTO.
[ APPLAUSE ]
CHINA'S UNFAIR SUBSIDY BEHAVIOR
IS PROHIBITED BY THE TERMS OF
ITS ENTRANCE TO THE WTO AND I
INTEND TO ENFORCE THOSE RULES
AND REGULATIONS AND BASICALLY I
INTEND TO ENFORCE THE AGREEMENTS
FROM ALL COUNTRIES, INCLUDING
CHINA. [ APPLAUSE ]
SEVEN, IF CHINA DOES NOT STOP
ITS ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, INCLUDING
ITS THEFT OF AMERICAN TRADE
SECRETSLY USE EVERY LAWFUL
PRESIDENT -- HEY, LOOK, THIS IS
VERY EASY, THIS IS SO EASY, I
LOVE SAYING THIS.
[ LAUGHTER ] I WILL USE EVERY LAWFUL
PRESIDENTIAL POWER TO REMEDY
TRADE DISPUTE, INCLUDING THE
APPLICATION OF TARIFFS
CONSISTENT WITH SECTION 201 AND
301 OF THE TRADE ACT OF 1974 AND
SECTION 232 OF THE TRADE
EXPANSION ACT OF 1962.
AND WHEN THEY SAY "TRADE
EXPANSION" THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
OTHER COUNTRIES, THEY'RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT US BECAUSE THERE
IS NO EXPANSION.
THEY GET THE EXPANSION, WE GET
THE JOBLESSNESS, THAT'S THE WAY
IT WORKS.
NOT GONNA HAPPEN ANYMORE.
PRESIDENT REAGAN DEPLOYED
SIMILAR TRADE MEASURES WHEN
MOTORCYCLE AND SEMICONDUCTOR
IMPORTS THREATENED U.S.
INDUSTRY.
I REMEMBER.
HIS TARIFF ON JAPANESE
MOTORCYCLES WAS 45% AND HIS
TARIFF TO SHIELD AMERICA'S
SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY WAS 100%.
AND THIS HAD A BIG IMPACT,
FOLKS, A BIG IMPACT.
HILLARY CLINTON AND HER CAMPAIGN
OF FEAR WILL TRY TO SPREAD THE
LIE THAT THESE ACTIONS WILL
START A TRADE WAR.
WE ALREADY HAVE A TRADE WAR AND
WE'RE LOSING BADLY, BADLY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
SHE HAS IT COMPLETELY BACKWARDS.
HILLARY CLINTON UNLEASHED A
TRADE WAR AGAINST THE AMERICAN
WORKER WHEN SHE SUPPORTED ONE
TERRIBLE DEAL AFTER ANOTHER FROM
NAFTA TO CHINA TO SOUTH KOREA IT
DOESN'T MATTER, NO MATTER WHERE
SHE WENT THE AMERICAN WORKER WAS
HURT AND YOU WILL BE HURT WORSE
THAN EVER BEFORE IF SHE BECOMES
PRESIDENT PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES. THAT I CAN TELL YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL GET
A FAIR DEAL FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE AND THE AMERICAN WORKER.
THE ERA OF ECONOMIC SUR RENDER
WILL FINALLY BE OVER.
IT WILL BE OVER.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE IT
ANYMORE. ALTHOUGH I CAN'T GUARANTEE IT
BECAUSE AFTER ME THEY'LL
PROBABLY START DOING IT AGAIN
BUT WE WILL HAVE FOUR AND MAYBE
EIGHT GREAT, GREAT, GREAT
PRODUCTIVE YEARS AND WE'LL NEVER
GO BACK AND WE'LL MAKE SURE WE
NEVER GO BACK.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] .
[ CROWD CHANTING "DONALD
TRUMP" ] THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY.
APPRECIATE IT. A NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY WILL
FINALLY BEGIN.
AMERICA WILL BE INDEPENDENT ONCE
MORE. INDEPENDENT ONCE MORE.
DOESN'T THAT SOUND GREAT?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
UNDER A TRUMP PRESIDENCY, THE
AMERICAN WORKER WILL FINALLY
HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL
PROTECT THEM AND FIGHT FOR THEM.
WE WILL STAND UP TO TRADE CHEATING.
CHEATERS, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE.
CHEATERS.
WE WILL STAND UP TO TRADE
CHEATING.
ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE IT
THREATENS THE AMERICAN JOB.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA THE BEST
PLACE IN THE WORLD TO START A
BUSINESS.
WE'LL HIRE WORKERS AND OPEN
FACTORIES AND WE'LL GET RID OF
THESE HORRIBLE REGULATIONS THAT
MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO
BUSINESS IN THIS COUNTRY.
THIS WILL ALSO INCLUDE MASSIVE
TAX REFORM TO LIFT THE CRUSHING
BURDENS ON AMERICAN WORKERS AND
BUSINESSES. WE WILL ALSO GET RID OF ALL OF
THESE RULES AND ALL OF THESE
PROBLEMS AND ALL OF THE
BUREAUCRACY WHICH ARE
DESTROYING, ABSOLUTELY
DESTROYING OUR JOB CREATION
CAPACITY.
WHICH WE USED TO BE THE BEST IN
THE WORLD AND NOW WE'RE GETTING
CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM, FOLKS.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE
BOTTOM.
[ APPLAUSE ]
MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT THESE
REGULATIONS ARE AN EVEN GREATER
IMPEDIMENT THAN THE FACT THAT WE
ARE ONE OF THE HIGHEST TAXED
NATIONS IN THE WORLD.
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO FULLY
CAPTURE AMERICA'S TREMENDOUS
ENERGY CAPACITY.
THIS WILL CREATE FOR OUR
WORKERS -- AND THIS'S WHAT WE
WANT, FOR OUR WORKERS -- GROWTH
FOR OUR ECONOMY AND BEGIN
REDUCING OUR BUDGET DEFICITS
WHICH ARE MASSIVE.
YEARLY BUDGET DEFICITS, MASSIVE,
TRADE DEFICITS WE DON'T EVEN
WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
BUDGET DEFICITS ARE MASSIVE.
HILLARY CLINTON WANTS TO SHUT
DOWN ENERGY PRODUCTION AND SHUT
DOWN THE MINES AND SHE WANTS TO
SHUT DOWN AND SHE SAID IT JUST
RECENTLY SHE WANTS TO SHUT DOWN
THE MINERS.
I WANT TO DO EXACTLY THE
OPPOSITE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL ALSO
ENSURE THAT WE START USING
AMERICAN STEEL FOR AMERICAN
INFRASTRUCTURE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND ALUMINUM.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
JUST LIKE THE AMERICAN STEEL
FROM PENNSYLVANIA THAT BUILT THE
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE GOING DO.
IT BUILT THE EMPIRE STATE
BUILDING.
WILL BE AMERICAN STEEL THAT WILL
FORTIFY AMERICA'S CRUMBLING
BRIDGES.
AMERICAN STEEL.
IT WILL BE AMERICAN STEEL THAT
SENDS OUR SKYSCRAPERS SOARING,
SOARING INTO THE SKY, BEAUTIFUL
SITE, MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH
AMERICAN STEEL. IT WILL BE AMERICAN STEEL THAT
REBUILDS OUR INNER CITIES.
IT WILL BE AMERICAN HANDS THAT
REMAKE THIS COUNTRY AND IT WILL
BE AMERICAN ENERGY MINED FROM
AMERICAN RESOURCES THAT POWERS
THIS COUNTRY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
IT WILL BE AMERICAN WORKERS WHO
ARE HIRED TO DO THE JOB.
NOBODY ELSE. AMERICAN WORKERS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WE ARE GOING TO PUT AMERICAN
STEEL AND ALUMINUM BACK INTO THE
BACKBONE OF OUR COUNTRY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THIS ALONE WILL CREATE MASSIVE
NUMBERS OF JOBS.
HIGH-PAYING JOBS, GOOD JOB, NOT
THE JOBS WE HAVE TODAY WHICH
EVERYBODY AGREES ARE BAD JOBS.
WE'RE GOING TO CREATE MASSIVE
NUMBERS OF GOOD JOBS.
ON TRADE, ON IMMIGRATION, ON
FOREIGN POLICY WE ARE GOING TO
PUT AMERICA FIRST AGAIN.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE AMERICA
WEALTHY AGAIN.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WE ARE GOING TO REJECT HILLARY
CLINTON'S POLICY OF FEAR AND HER
POLICY OF ABSOLUTE NONSENSE
BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING AND
IT'S GROSSLY INCOMPETENT AND WE
CAN'T TAKE IT ANY LONGER AND
WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY
LONGER. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
. WE ARE GOING EMBRACE THE
POSSIBILITIES OF CHANGE, BUT
REAL CHANGE NOT OBAMA CHANGE.
REAL CHANGE.
IT'S TIME TO BELIEVE N THE
FUTURE.
IT'S TIME TO BELIEVE IN EACH
OTHER.
IT'S TIME TO BELIEVE IN AMERICA
AGAIN, THIS IS HOW WE ARE GOING
TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN FOR
ALL AMERICANS.
FOR ALL AMERICANS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN FOR EVERYONE.
GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE AND I
PROMISE YOU IF I BECOME
PRESIDENT WE ARE GOING TO BE
WORKING AGAIN, WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE GREAT JOBS AGAIN, YOU'RE
GOING TO BE SO HAPPY, YOU'RE
GOING TO BE PROUD OF YOUR
PRESIDENT. YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROUD, PROUD,
PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>>> ALL RIGHT, SO WE'VE BEEN
WATCHING DONALD TRUMP HERE
GIVING HIS SPEECH, A RALLY IN
MONONECESSARY SEINE,
PENNSYLVANIA, HE'LL BE TRAVELING
TO OHIO LATER TODAY.
THE SPEECH WAS ENTITLED
"DECLARING AMERICA'S ECONOMIC
INDEPENDENCE."
AND THIS WAS BASICALLY DONALD TRUMP TALKING ABOUT THE UNREST
SOME AMERICANS FEEL ABOUT FREE
TRADE, SPECIFICALLY TPP.
HE SAID WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN DREAM
AGAIN. ONE OF HIS OTHER LINES WAS HOW
TO MAKE ACA
