RE: Donald Trump at CPAC 2014

_____________________________________________________________

Event Details: Protypical Make America Great Again stumper with key reveal about partisan justification for blocking path to citizenship block : “But of those 11 million potential voters which will go to 30 million in a not too long future, you will not get any of those votes no matter what you do no matter how nice you are no matter how soft you are no matter how many times you say rip down the fence and let everybody in. You’re not going to get the votes. So with immigration you better be smart and you better be tough and they’re taking your jobs and you better be careful, you better be careful  and I just say one other thing.”

Attendees/Audience: CPAC attendees.

Key Points:

:20 - Enter DT, “No teleprompter”/Just left Trump National Doral… spent 250 million renovating… saw Tiger… Phil… said I’m going to CPAC… created a lot of jobs there. Right between White House and Congress. Interesting place to be. 17 Trillion dollars on debt. How do you pay off 17 Trillion? No one ever heard the expression a number of years ago. The word Trillion. We have debt beyond belief. Deficits nobody can comprehend.

2:13 - China, which I have been talking about for the past 5 years. yesterday, right in our face, just devalued their currency. For those that don’t understand devaluation what they’re basically doing is ripping you bigly. Nobody does it better than us. Now we’re going to do it again. Reason they did it… our leadership is so weak, and so pathetic that they can get away with it and believe me, they’re taking our jobs and taking them bigly. They’re not the only ones. They have no respect for our leaders. No respect for our great country. It’s so simple to solve. What we need is a strong economy. What we need are jobs. Phony jobs numbers. 6.7%

3:25 - 6.7% is probably 21 or 22%.  Real numbers. When you give up looking for a job it gets like they consider you employed. It’s amazing. They change this. In the old days, if you had people who couldn’t find work, they couldn’t find work. Today, such a huge number… the worst in 36 years. With all of that being said. President just came out with his lowest job approval rating 38%. I’m so torn, in some ways I’d love to see him do a great job…

4:25 We all know it’s not going to happen. We are getting into Jimmy Carter territory. Never thought I’d see anything like that again… By this time next month we will have surpassed the late great Jimmy Carter. That’s the way it is. That’s the way the country is. Y’know I want to see something happen that brings the country back. I want to see the potential this country has. I’m working so hard. I’ll do these things.

5:15 Al has done an amazing job with CPAC. Where is he? He’s around here some place. He has done really an amazing job. Everybody wants to be here. When he calls you come here and we get our point across. The people in this room are people who want to see this country be great again. Who is your audience? People love the country. People who want to see it be great again. Very simple. One of those things.

6:05 - We have a big election coming up in ’14. I believe the Republicans. And Conservative Republicans because the word conservative to me is very important. Conservative Republicans are going to take the Senate. I believe that. I think that’s going to happen. In 2016 you’ll probably going to be running against Hillary. I think it’s going to be a tough race but I think it’s going to be a race by that time, will be so bad, that Republicans will likewise take that. And then you can end Obamacare which is a total catastrophe.

6:50 The problem is in 2016 if you look and study it like I do, all of the problems are being deferred to the year 2016 after the election. I don’t know how the Republican leadership has allowed that to happen. But it’s happening. I’ve read a lot of reports saying we’re going to drift along, just keep drifting. And 2016, 2017, and 2018 are going to be an economic disaster and you know, who ever is President, good luck. You’re going to have to be very smart, very very sharp. But that’s the way it is.

7:30 -2016, 2017, 2018. Economic disaster. Economic catastrophe. We have so many issues, so many problems, so little leadership. And it’s all about the leadership. If you look at what’s happening, Putin, I was in Moscow couple of months ago. I own the Miss Universe pageant. Putin even sent me a present. Beautiful present with a beautiful note. I spoke to all of his people. You look at what he’s doing with President Obama, he’s toying with him. He has the Olympics. The day after the Olympics he starts with Ukraine. The day after. How smart is that? He didn’t want to do it during. The day after. Boom. Athletes leave. We all leave and the day after.

8:50 - He takes Crimea. Heart and soul that’s where all the money is. Most of the wealth comes right from that area. The area with the wealth. The rest of Ukraine will fall and it’s predicted to fall fairly quickly without the money. Like this country. If we don’t make this country great it’s going to fall. It’s already falling. Look at our airports, bridges, roadways, we’re becoming a third world country, When you see what they’re doing in Ukraine, it’s just a question of time.

9:40 Putin is friendly with Iran. Iran is causing tremendous problems. Syria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Iran is now selling Iraq its weapons. Iran has already taken over essentially Iraq. It’s amazing. We lost tremendous lives. Wounded warriors… these incredible people came back to this country. We spent 2 Trillion dollars in Iraq then we pull out. Now I took a lot of heat, except from Conservative people, when we went over there, I said, hey, I assume we’re taking the oil.

10:40 - In the old days, when you had a war, ever heard the expression ‘To the victor belongs the spoils’ OK? I took such heat, if we leave take the oil. At least pay us back. It came out front page news Trump is a horrible person he wants to take the oil from a sovereign country, sovereign? Give me a break. You see the people ripping off? Sovereign. Unbelievable.

11:15 You know who is taking the oil now? Iran. What people don’t know Iraq has the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world. Who knew that? I knew it. Taking a couple of trillion is peanuts. You have 18 trillion in the underground. Give us 2. Maybe 3. But people went nuts.

11:50 - Look what’s going on with Afghanistan. You have Karzai that’s treating our President like he doesn’t even exist. so they make a deal. And I’m not advocating stay. Because frankly I want to build this country. I want to build these schools. I don’t want to build a school in Afghanistan a road going to the school and watch it get built up and then blown up 4 times and they keep rebuilding and rebuilding. You go to Brooklyn New York and you can’t have schools and go to Iowa and go to wherever you go and you can’t have schools. Because we don’t have any money because we’re spending it in other places. Frankly, they don’t want us and I don’t want them. It’s amazing. In Afghanistan, they make a deal. Karzai said I’m not signing that deal these stupid Americans keep giving me cash. Who is the soldier.. that carries satchels of 50 million dollars to take care of these people? He’s either really honest or really rich. We give all this money. Now we’re up to over a trillion.

13:25 - Just revealed the other day our friends from China, we’re fighting the war here, and on the other side of the mountain, a lot of people don’t realize this, Afghanistan has tremendous wealth in minerals, so we’re fighting and fighting getting blown up and all sorts of crap happening and on the other side of the mountain we have China taking out all of their minerals. So this was reported big league the other day.

14:05 I don’t dislike China. I have a lot of friends from China. The thing the Chinese most want, different elements, and they had ten of them, the top ten things, I knock the hell out of China fairly and my friends respect me for it they actually say ‘you’re right’ they live in China and say ‘you’re right I can’t believe we’re getting away with it either’ Thing they most want, one of the Top Ten things, anything Trump, my apartments, my ties, they love me, they love me. I’ve got the largest bank in the world… my tenant, in one of my buildings, they said we’ll never leave, we love you, we love the building, because they’re smart and respect you if you’re smart  They don’t respect stupid people. OK? That’s what they’re dealing with.

15:10 - Obamacare, has to be changed. Immigration. We either have borders or we don’t. (loudest applause) It’s true. You have a border. You have a country. And if you don ’t have a border what we just a just a nothing. A nothing. And I feel strongly about that. As conservative people and Republicans, some are so conservative you don’t even want to be Republican, I understand that too. But as conservatives as Republicans, when you go from 11 million in which will grow to 30 million people in, I don’t care who stands up, whether it’s Marco Rubio who talks about let everybody in, you won’t get one vote, everyone of those votes go to the Democrats. You have to do what’s right. It’s not about the votes, necessarily. But of those 11 million potential voters which will go to 30 million in a not too long future, you will not get any of those votes no matter what you do no matter how nice you are no matter how soft you are no matter how many times you say rip down the fence and let everybody in. You’re not going to get the votes. So with immigration you better be smart and you better be tough and they’re taking your jobs and you better be careful, you better be careful  and I just say one other thing.

16:50 - Medicare, medicaid, social security, I listen to people come in and say how we’re going to dismantle it and we’re just going to knock the hell out of it and I’m a friend of Paul Ryan, I like Paul Ryan very much, but I don’t like what they’re saying. I want to make this country so strong and so rich  and so powerful, we have so much energy and so much money under our feet that we don’t have to take away people’s social security and medicare and medicaid. You want to stop the fraud? You want to stop the abuse? And believe me there’s plenty of that. But we don’t want to do that. You know they had a vote recently of key party members, strong key party members. 79% said don’t touch my medicare, don’t touch my medicaid, don’t touch my social security. How do you get elected when you want to do that?

17:50 We are sitting on top of something that is so amazing. Such incredible wealth. And the way you solve all of these problems is tremendous wealth, tremendous job production, strengthen our military not weaken. We’ve weakened our military they want to cut our military. We listen to Putin about what we’re going to get. He said we don’t want you to get those missiles. Oh, no we won’t order them! It’s hard to believe. The bottom line is very simple. Make America strong again. Make America great again. We have such unbelievable potential. We have to use it . We need the right leaders.
