Event Details:  http://www.c-span.org/video/?299058-1/donald-trump-remarks

Attendees/Audience: Trump, Allen West, a few hundred tea partiers

Press: C-Span

Summary of Event: After a brief intro by Allen West, Trump gave a speech to Tea Partiers in FL. He made several wrong assessments and predictions about US inflation, gas prices. He talked at length about Obama’s birth certificate, Bill Ayers, how Obama got into Harvard. He said some questionable things about how rebels have a positive connotation from “Gone with the Wind,” and used the very presidential term “Chicken shit” to describe Obama’s second book.

Key Points: Clip A:

0:00 Introduction by Allen West. This is about the American people, about earning your trust and confidence. After me comes a fellow with a good hairdo. (Trump walks in with “Living in America” in background)

2:25 Trump on. This is really amazing, I want to thank West, I’ve been a supporter for a long time. I’ve been there from the beginning for Rick Scott, he’s doing a great job. I’d like to thank the South FL Tea Party, it’s a pleasure to speak here, believe me. Over the last few months I’ve been asked a lot about the Tea Party. I’ve come up with a truthful, standard answer. They’re great people because they’ve made DC start thinking. I was told this was going to just be a small venue, what happened? With all this wind now you know it’s my real hair. The US has become the laughing stock and whipping post for the rest of the world. The world is laughing at our leaders. I’ve said many times that countries like China, India, South Korea, OPEC nations view our leaders as weak and ineffective and we’ve lost hundreds of billions a year, we need to take the country back

5:30 I know a lot of people in other countries, the top people, the wealthy, they deal with me. They tell me, before this whole thing started, that they can’t believe what they’re getting away with. They can’t believe how well I’m doing getting ready to run, they mean it. I’ve participated in many battles with people like this and I’ve almost always come out the victor. We need people that win, not people that lose all the time. I’ve beaten many people and companies, and I’ve won many wars. I really look forward to disclosing my financials, I’ve built a great company. I’ve always been told that a person of great accomplishment can’t become a politician because there’s too many enemies. People who’ve been in wars leave themselves open to criticism to those they’ve beaten. This theory is rarely tested because most successful people don’t want to be scrutinized and abused, but this is the kind of person this country needs now. Our current president (boos from audience) They all want me to say “You’re fired.” Got a long way to go before I start saying that, but it’s in my mind. Our president came out of nowhere with no track record, so there was nothing to criticize.

10:00 I never lived my life with a view toward running. I’m a successful businessman, not a politician. Businessweek, now Bloomberg’s, in fact there’s a reporter here from that. Stand up, you’re not her. She’s a beautiful woman. They said I’m the most competitive business person. Steve Forbes said I was one of the best entrepreneurs in the history of free trade, something we’re not doing very well at right now. We need such a person to handle our problems. Instead of China making $300B, all these countries draining our money, you wouldn’t have the fights we have between parties because we’d be thriving. China can’t be taking our money, making our products, and buying our debt, and manipulating their currency. Everyone says we owe them money, I don’t care I’ve known banks all my life, we have all the cards because if we stopped their inflow of cash that’s building their cities. When was the last time you saw a bridge or airport being built here? Our airports are terrible we don’t even repair them. Go to Qatar and their airport, their manager is a great guy. I don’t blame these other countries, they’re just doing their best for their country, I’m angry at our leaders. It’s beautiful at the Qatar airport, so I say to the man, his name is Ackbar, and he says this is just temporary they’re still building the good airport. I’ve said we should watch China and OPEC.

15:05 Give me one good admiral and a few good ships. Somali pirates are taking over these tankers and Germany wants to buy the NY Stock Exchange, I don’t want that. I’ve seen what China and OPEC do while our politicians sit by and have state dinners for them. If I run and win our country will be respected again and all the countries who rip us off will be dealt with differently and it will be a pleasure. Obama used to go “Change” and now he’s embarrassed by the word. I am pro-life, I’m against gun control. It’s interesting with gun control, the bad guys will have the guns, the good people will follow the rules, the bad guy will walk into your house with guns. I’m against gun control. I will get rid of ACA, which is a disaster. I went to Wharton, I always say I’m smart. If you believe that Obama should disclose his birth certificate, I say how well I did in school because the media always tries to make us out as stupid. What Rove said is amazing just because I want to see Obama’s birth certificate. GOP need to be careful, Rove didn’t do well in Bush years. Bush gave us Obama and I’m not happy about it. Obama will almost certainly go down as the worst president in history. I will create jobs, bring jobs back home. When you call about your credit card, someone from India answers, what’s that about? They have outsourcing incentives, what about us? Bernanke saying the job growth is slow, how can it be fast when China makes our products? Pretty sad.

20:10 Foreign policy: we can’t afford education, build a road, but we’re in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. Our soldiers don’t know what we’re doing, it’s a disaster. Gaddafi is winning. In the old days, I would say bring them home but listen, in the old days when we won a war we won a war, you keep the nation, the land, the oil. In the old days the victor belong the spoils, now we win wars, hand over the keys to people we don’t know, don’t trust, and who don’t like us. We spend billions a week overseas and no one knows what the endgame is. I want the money being spent rebuilding the US. I am the strongest person on military spending in strength, but what we do over there is ridiculous. We build roads and schools, they blow them up. In AL, FL, NY we can’t get any money for schools. Globalization is ok, but not with countries that make so much money they destroy us. I know the best businessmen in NY, they’re horrible people, I want ehm negotiating, not diplomats. China has a tougher system, from the time they’re born they send their toughest, meanest people. We have tougher, smarter people, why aren’t they negotiating. I like Japan, but when Japan is in all this trouble, for decades they’ve been ripping us off but we should still help. When we first entered Iraq, many people said we were going in for oil. Iraq is second only to Saudi Arabia in terms of oil wells.

25:25 But that wasn’t the case. We’ve now spent after many years $1.5T if you want a billion to rebuild a school you can’t do it. I hadn’t even heard trillion until a couple years ago. We’ve spent that and lost thousands of brave soldiers, not to mention the wounded warriors. Because we’ve decapitated the power of Iraq. For years between Iraq and Iran they’ve fought it out, but we decapitated Iraq and shortly after we leave Iran will take over Iraq, they’re already doing it without firing a shot. They don’t want to mess with us, but we’ve lost our heart. Ira within minutes after we leave will be taken over by Iran and all the soldiers that died for our country will have died in vain. Why is this controversial? If Iran is going to take this over, we should take the oil. It’s estimated they have $15T worth of oil in Iraq. We give some to Iraq, pay back ourselves plus, plus, plus of course. Payback our allies plus, plus, plus. I want to payback the families of the dead soldiers too. If you gave them a couple millions of dollars worth of peace, it can’t replace their children, but it’s peanuts

30:10 We fight a war, give the keys to the people we fought and get nothing. We’re policemen not soldiers. (Protest?) This is the problem we have, people like this. As far as Libya is concerned we don’t know what we’re doing there. The rebels sounds great, “Gone with the Wind” and all that. If we don’t get the oil no interest at all. The Arab League, France led the charge with sending in the fighters, the Arab League asked us to go in to get rid of Gaddafi, why aren’t they paying us for this? $5B is nothing for these people, they should pay us. We’re in there for hundreds of millions and why? If we do it, we want the oil. China’s economy grew at a faster rate 9.8% in the last quarter, that would be awesome even for one quarter. The fact is this happened because of all the business they get from us. We’re fast becoming a country of broken dreams, it’s a serious matter. I’m strong on concise borders, we either have a country or we don’t. People of achievement from all over can’t get into our country and yet they ask me to get a foot in the door, but if you’re a criminal, a sex offender, and you can get across the border you stay in this country with benefits and never leave.

35:00 Despite what you hear in DC, inflation is rampant, food prices had biggest increase since 1974 that will be nothing compared to what will go on at gas pump, rising gas prices will kill any movement in the economy. We’ll be hitting never before seen fuel prices, clothing and other products will go through the roof, cotton prices are terrible. Talk to Obama and he says inflation is under control, where is he living? He lives in the world of the make believe, how did he even get elected? Obama is unwilling or unable to show his birth certificate, had horrible marks in school but somehow got into Harvard, how? I have so many Jewish friends who support Obama, I don’t get it, no one has been worse to Israel. I get calls from friends for fundraisers for Obama, I’m not going. He did one deal for the expansion of his house with a mobster who ended up going to jail, Obama wasn’t even looked at. If anyone did what he did, you wouldn’t get away with it. This birth certificate scam. Bill Ayers: he was a bad guy, a real terrorist, he used to be Obama’s best friend. Obama ditches all his best friends. Obama buys this house, Resco buys the lot right next to him and lets Obama expand into it.

40:00 He buys this chunk at undermarket and renders the rest of the land useless. I thought that would be the end of the campaign, nothing. Bill Ayers is a bad guy, terrorist, but he is a genius. There’s been controversy over who wrote Obama’s book. Ayers now says he doesn’t like Obama, Obama dropped him like the legendary Rev Right. All my books have been bestsellers, the man that wrote the second book didn’t write the first book. The first book was written by Ernest Hemingway plus, the second book was chicken shit. There’s no way he wrote that first book, we know he wrote the second book. If he doesn’t write the first book and if it isn’t brilliant he isn’t president. The first book was written by Ayers. Forget Soros, leave him alone, he’s got enough problems. I want to finish by stating it’s hard to believe what’s happened, that Obama became president, not because of race or color, but because of all the things we don’t know about him. Why did his grandmother say he was born in Kenya? He got the Nobel Peace Prize. Al Gore was a big step above. Our country has so many issues, war, economy, inflation that’s unacknowledged. China, India, Saudi Arabia are building infrastructure. We are the Saudi Arabia of natural gas but we don’t use it. We don’t let people drill, we have coal, oil, we don’t let our people use it

44:50 It has to do with what’s going on, with leadership, with who’s in charge. NY spent 8 years and millions and were unable to fix an ice rink. I took over the project because I had little kids and I wanted to take them skating. In four months and $1.8M it was opened. It’s the power of the private sector. In Palm Beach I bought a house in bankruptcy court for $41M and sold it for nearly $100M shortly after. That’s what the country needs. Making good deals is how a country thrives. Whether it’s me or someone else you need that kind of thinking. If I decide to run and if I win I won’t raise taxes but I’ll take in Billions of dollars from other countries and create many productive jobs and will rebuild the country. The US will be great again.
