RE: Donald Trump in Hagerstown, MD

_____________________________________________________________

Event Details: Donald Trump rally at the Rider Jet Center in Hagerstown, MD on April 24, 2016.

Attendees/Audience: Thousands

Press: Livestream captured via Right Side Broadcasting youtube.

Summary of Event: Lengthy speech from Trump. Trump mentioned how he hates his opponents until it’s over, then he likes them. Said he’d probably like Lyin Ted in a few weeks. Said in 2012, Romney choked like a dog. Trump said, “I want to fight Hillary!” While mentioning Obama announcing special forces deploying in Iraq, Trump said “We need unpredictability!”

Key Points:

00:30 Hello, every body. What a crowd. This is amazing.

01:00 This has been such an amazing experience. We have a country that’s in trouble, so it shouldn’t be fun, but it’s going to be fun. We’re going to bring our country back. We have politicians that are totally controlled by special interests, lobbyists, I’m self-funding no one controls me.

01:42 I love you too. It’s a guy, but I love him.

02:00 Few states have known Maryland’s pain. Manufacturing is down 40% since 2001. That happens to be when Congress voted to put China in the WTO. Now TPP, Cruz wants it, Kasich wants it, it’s going to be worse than NAFTA. Hagerstown, we all know and love it, bad news is jobs are down 40%. Fellas, what are you doing?

03:10 You need leadership at the top. The top is allowing China, Japan, others to devalue their currency, doesn’t allow you to compete. We’re going to build a wall believe me. Overall, nearly ½ manufacturing jobs in MD have disappeared since 1990. If I win, you’re going to see such a fast turn. When companies move out of the US...you saw such a historic win in NY last week. I’ve never really wanted to talk about it, but when I started, we had 17 people, and I’d get on and see these pundits, “yes, Trump won but he couldn’t break 50%” Lincoln couldn’t have broken 50% with 17 candidates...now we have 3. Let me tell you, despite all of that, I’m doing really well, I’m leading in delegates by a lot.

05:34 Cruz is a liar like you’ve never seen. In business I deal w tougher people, but never dealt with someone who can lie like him. He’s not a good liar because he gets caught. My folks mets w the RNC, they had boats and yachts waiting to take delegates...Cruz is wining and dining, basically bribing people to vote. They can’t do it on the first ballot, that’s all I care about. We’re not going for the 2nd and 3rd, etc. I think we get that 1237, I’m pretty sure. They say if Trump gets 60 delegates in NY that’d be pretty good. Short sellers, I don’t like people who go short, they are pessimistic. Cruz is a short seller, Kasich I don’t get that, he’s 1/38. If I campaigned in OH 2 more days, I would have won. There was a dirty poll by NBC, I thought I was winning by 18 points because I thought I had it made in FL, I get this poll that had me up only 6%. I ended up winning FL in a landslide, got all 99 delegates.

09:27 I’m not looking to fly people all over the world, wine and dine em, so that on the 4th ballot I can win. We want to put it away. You gotta get out there Maryland. We can have a big Tuesday. Here’s the thinking, I’m millions of votes up on Cruz and Kasich. Kasich is a nice guy but he shouldn’t be running. I’ve spent the least and I’m leading in a landslide. Wouldn’t you rather have that for the president rather than…. I’m in for $40m, it’s not peanuts. On Tuesday I’m expected to win all 5. Tomorrow all day, I’m going to RI, DE. DE was incredible, I asked how many things do I have registered in DE, 378. Delegates, delegates, no one knew what it meant. Started for me in LA. I was supposed to lose the entire south, I won the entire south. AL was unbelievable. If I don’t get the vote from MD, I’m moving to AL I’m telling you.

13:05 I won all these states, Cruz thought he had the evangelicals but he’s a liar. I have Falwell, Liberty University...we did great. It’s a movement. Bill O’Reilly on Fox said that what’s happened with Trump, all of us, is the most significant political event of his lifetime. Think of that? We’re not playing games. We have a massive hangar that’s filled. I want to thank the fire marshal.

15:29 I’m winning by millions of votes. I’m going to win MD, NY, MI in the general. I’m going to win states other Republicans wouldn’t even campaign in. Kasich would beat HRC, but he hasn’t had any negative ads. I’ve had 55,000 negative ads against me. That has to be true, I saw it on Fox.

17:12 How does it look, we go to the second ballot...Trump has millions of votes more, we pick up a lot, I’m way up in PA, it’s really an unfair system...so I’m leading by millions of votes. I’ll be 500-600 delegates ahead, maybe I’m 25 short. No one talks about this, the 25 short, when I started we had 17, I was never going 1 on 1. It’s crooked HRC against a communist. This guy is crazy! You can say he’s a socialist but he wants to raise taxes, he wants to take everything you make! If you look at his tax return, I guess that’s why he makes so little. I really want to fight Hillary. I don’t know if she’ll be easier or harder but that’s the one I want to beat. They said crooked Hillary versus wonderful Donald would be the biggest vote getting election ever.

19:54 I won all the debates. Turns out I’m good at debates. Think of this, Trump versus Hillary will be so much fun.

22:14 Right now I don’t like Lyin Ted Cruz. In a few weeks he’ll probably be one of my best friends. That’s the way I am.

23:21 Walker gone, Bush bomb, low energy he’s gone, all of them. Marco’s a good guy. Defeated, defeated. I started off w a million dollar loan and turned it into $10b in net worth. Some of the great assets of the world and who cares except that’s the kind of thinking we need in this country.

25:15 They said, why would [I] change, we gotta be a little bit careful about changing. Here’s the thing. We are against many candidates. Nobody has ever had had so many candidates. I heard Charles Krauthammer say he’s not getting 50%. These things average out. I won NH big. I won SC big big big. Haley was against me, that turned out to be a big asset, she’s weak on borders. I won everything. In Nevada they took a poll, I won Hispanics. When you have all these candidates...I’m getting close to 50%. And nobody ever says it. They all thought I couldn’t do it, statistically it’s hard to get 50% with 3 people. In FL I won 100% of delegates, in NY I won almost 100%. Almost all of them.

28:00 At least now it’s down to 3. It’s very hard to get to 1237 which is half plus 1 when you had all these people running for office. These are accomplished people. Whether you like them or not. Frankly, Ben could have stayed in, Marco could have stayed in, they could have floated along like Kasich. Cruz died in NY. I know none of you will show up to vote for him. I don’t want his endorsement, I don’t care.

29:41 They fight like hell for 6 months, say the worst things, one of them loses. Then the one that loses says “he’s great, blah…” I don’t think you’ll ever see me there. Most vicious fighting then the one that wins/loses says they’re brilliant, sometimes they put them in their Administration. This is a phony business. We brought in millions of millions of people, the hottest story in all of politics worldwide is what’s happened w the GOP. When Romney choked, he choked like a dog...4 years ago, up almost 70% in primary voters because of me. Not a party in the world can say it.

31:57 I do have pretty good hair! No bald spot. We brought in millions of people to the GOP. Those people are Independents, Democrats….In NY you can’t switch parties. They interviewed workers, said “I’ve never seen so many Democrats who wanted to vote GOP” They wanted to vote for Trump.

33:40 We’re going to win in areas people can’t even think of. How can I build a wall if you don’t vote for me?? When you hear about 50%...just remember, the numbers we have are astronomical. No one remembers all the people in the race, despite that, we’re doing great. A lot of states on Tuesday have me over 50%. MD is looking fantastic actually. You can’t give an election to a guy that is #2...we’re going to make it. How would you like to have a guy w 4m votes less, 4-5-6 hundred delegates less. He’s going to be the nominee? I don’t think it should work that way. The loyalty of the people to Donald Trump, is so much greater than anybody else. They say they won’t leave. Cruz, if he sneezes they’ll leave. Kasich if he looks the wrong direction he’ll leave. They interviewed a Trump supporter and asked what I’d have to do for her to leave, she said “Absolutely nothing that man can do that we’d vote against him.” All her girlfriends saying yes that’s true. The loyalty of this group is amazing.

37:22 I got a call from a liberal columnist, asked how do you feel? I said, if I don’t win, I will consider it a waste of time, money, energy and effort. He said I was wrong, they’ll be talking about your campaign for decades. I said we gotta win.

38:35 Carrier from IN, they fired 1400 people, moved to Mexico. They will sell them through, no tax. I’ll say, you want to move to Mexico, there will be a 35% tax. No politician would say that because their lobbyists will tell them you can’t. We have an opportunity to make America greater than ever before. I mean it. If I spoke to those companies, not one of your companies would leave for Mexico. You’re talking about a rigged system, the delegate system is rigged, the whole business climate is rigged. Right now, companies are leaving MD and going to Mexico and other places.

42:00 They are talking about giving them abatements, loaning them loans. You don’t need it. Just tell them, you move to Mexico, you pay a tax. Keep it simple. China, we have a $500b trade deficit. When you try to do business in China, it’s very hard to get in and you pay a tax. China is the greatest abuser, Mexico is doing a good job too. They will be the next car capital. I’ve been talking about this for 2 years. They’ll sell the cars over the border, they’ll pay the price with me. I’m a smart guy.

43:47 Jeb called me a gifted politician. I never thought of myself of a politician. He thought I wasn’t a conservative, remember? Who cares? I’m a conservative. You can’t have free trade when your leaders are paid off or stupid. With China, China’s fine, I do tremendous condo business with China. We can’t have a $500b deficit. We have rebuilt China. I’m not angry at China. I think it’s great. I wish our leaders had the same brainpower as China. I’m angry at our leaders for being so grossly incompetent.

45:40 It’s gonna end. We’ve lost trillions of dollars, rebuilt China. That’s free trade. China’s building a military fortress like you’ve never seen in the South China Sea. They’re not supposed to do that. So yeah, the product will be more expensive, maybe a little bit maybe a lot, but we’ll have millions more jobs. We’re going to make Apple here. I want to see Apple making its product here. If it’s cost more, but we’re employing millions more people it evens out. We are the big dumb bully that gets pushed around by everyone. It’s not going to happen anymore. We won’t allow jobs currently negotiated to move to Mexico. It won’t be economically viable for them to do so.

50:33 We’re going to protect the 2nd Amendment, we’re going to end Common Core, bring education local.

52:00 First time I had a protester he was rough guy. Tough cookie, people got a little upset. I sad get him out of here. Next day they said I’m so mean. So following day, I had some guy screaming, I said get him out gently, please don’t hurt him. Next day, press said I’m weak. You can’t win! Debates, I’m getting calls like you wouldn’t believe. If my mother was around she’d be crying if you’d hear what they are saying. Now they are calling to join the campaign, we’re going to unify the campaign. Here’s the story, I get these calls, especially after NY. I’m on the debate stage, with 6 or 7 left. They see me after the event, they are all nice. One candidate comes off the stage and says, “you can’t build a wall” Recently, one said, “You can’t get Mexico to pay for the wall.” I said, let me explain something, the Great Wall of China is 13k miles long, we only need 1k. We’re going to let people come to our country but they have to come in legally. This guy says, you can’t get Mexico to pay for the wall...We have a 58b trade deficit w Mexico, wall will cost $10b. When people get up there, they’re not getting down so easy. I’m a good builder. They have a trade deficit, that’s real easy. I saw Vincente Fox and he used the f-bomb. Imagine if I used the f-bomb. I’d be given the electric chair. It’s the single cheapest thing we can do.

59:00 I think we’ll get along w Russia. Putin gets along with me. Why would I disavow his statement, I agree with it! Wouldn’t it be nice if we got along w Russia? Did anyone mind when Russia started dropping bombs on ISIS? We went to SC and Graham was at 2%, he keeps endorsing people. Every time he endorses someone they go out. Obama said we’re sending 50 to Iraq and Iran. Why announce it, we need unpredictability! We’re going to have a great military and take out ISIS.

01:01:10 We have migration, we’re taking in 10s of 1000s of people have no idea where they are from. That new omnibus budget allows funds for illegal immigrants, ACA. You’re going to remember this day. You’ll remember Tuesday. We need a big mandate. Greatest vote you ever cast. We’ll do things fast. It’ll be America first. We won’t be stupid anymore. America first. We’re going to beat HRC. I’ll hit her. Don’t forget, they say, this guy’s just having fun, knocked out a Governor, Senator...now there’s only 2 guys. Only thing they can hope is we don’t get it on the first ballot. If a guy who is losing by all those millions of votes, we’ll have some people who are very very angry. I hope that all of you, can go in July to Cleveland. We’re going to have something so beautiful. Fighters say “Judges can’t help if I knock that guy on his ass.” We’re like fighters. They can’t help the guy lying on his back unconscious. You’ll vote, say it’s the greatest vote you ever cast. We’ll beat HRC and hit her hard. Just like I took at all the people, I’ll take out HRC. She’s easier than some of the people we’ve beat. We’re going to win. We’ll start winning from the time I take office. We’ll win w military. Win for our vets. We’re going to win on the border. We’re going to win on education. We’re going to win on health care. We’re going to build the wall, only people come in legally. We’re going to win on trade, jobs coming back, no other jobs leaving. Get out and vote. I promise we’ll make America great again. Thank you.
