President Trump: The small number of jobs they created were all taken by illegal immigrants in the last short period of time, and we're gonna make that change.
President Trump: We're gonna use tariffs very, very wisely. You know, our country in the 1890's was probably the wealthiest it ever was, because it was a system of tariffs. We had a president, McKinley…he was really a very good business man, then he took in billions of dollars at the time…we were a very wealthy country, and we're gonna be doing that now.
President Trump: Energy's coming way down, and when energy comes down, everything else follows. That's what started this onslaught of inflation, the greatest we've ever had in our country. We had almost no inflation, and that carried on for two years into their; I used to say his, now I say their, but nobody even really knows who our president is, if you wanna know; who is our president? Who is he? We're not sure who the president is.
Crowd: Trump! Trump! Trump!
President Trump: Mexico's a big threat now. Mexico's taking a lot of your business, and we're not gonna let that happen. We need a smart series of tariffs and taxes. It's very simple business.
President Trump: It's so easy to solve. Were gonna need the help of the Senate, we're gonna need the help of the House, and if they won't do it, I have the authorization and the power to do it myself [tariffs], and we'll have to do it.
President Trump: You know what they do, they dump the product cheaply, then everybody goes out of business, then they take over the businesses and they sell it for two and three times what it was selling for before. Rockefeller, in the old days, he used to open a gas station; he used to underprice it by fifty, a hundred; he'd give the gas away. He'd drive the people out of business around him. Then he'd buy up the gas stations or close 'em, and he'd make a fortune. That's exactly what they do on an even bigger scale.
President Trump: We can't let them take your car business away. You know, it's an important business even in times of war where they switch over [war effort]…We can't let them take our businesses, and we're not gong to let them take our businesses. And you can control that so easily through good policy.
