Billionaire Donald Trump presidential announcement speech...The highlights

[ul]
[li]About Mexicans: Trump promised to build a giant wall along the border, and force Mexico to pay for it. “They are not our friend, believe me. They are killing us economically. The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they are not sending their best… They are bringing drugs. They are bringing crime, their rapists, and some I assume are good people.”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]About his wealth, said he wasn’t bragging: Trump pulled out a sheet of paper and said his team of accountants had spent months tabulating his considerable net worth. They finally settled on $8.7375 billion. “I’m really rich. And by the way, I’m not even saying that (to) brag. That’s the kind of mindset, the kind of thinking, you need for this country… We have the opposite thinking: We have losers.”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Made bold promises: “I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created, I tell you that. I’ll bring back our jobs from China, Japan, Mexico, so many other places. And I’ll bring back our money.”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Drew sweeping conclusions from his Republican rivals’ campaign launches, which he found lacking: “They didn’t know the air conditioner didn’t work. They sweated like dogs. They didn’t know the room was too big… How are they gonna beat ISIS?”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Plugged his golf courses: He insulted President Barack Obama for playing so much golf, then pivoted into a sales pitch: “I have the best courses in the world. So I’d say, if you want… I have one right next to the White House.”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Called many people stupid: America’s leaders for paying interest on debt; New York State officials who allowed prisoners to escape; people letting Mexicans slip through the border — all branded with the same dreaded epithet: “How stupid are our leaders?”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Opposed free trade. In theory, he said, free trade could work. But American negotiators are too dumb. Trump expressed his opposition to existing trade agreements and said: “We have people that are stupid. We have people that aren’t smart.”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Compared the Chinese to Super Bowl champion Tom Brady: “I just sold an apartment for $15 million to someone from China. Am I supposed to dislike them?.. I love China. But their leaders are much smarter than our leaders. It’s like having Tom Brady and the New England Patriots playing a high-school football team.”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Issued tariff threats: One of the things he’d do, he said, is call Ford’s president and say: “Congrats on building the new plant in Mexico… Lemme give you the bad news.” The bad news? A 35 per cent tax on every part made in Mexico, until Ford moves a plant to the U.S.[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]Teased Secretary of State John Kerry for breaking his leg while bicycling: Trump said he’d be busy preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon instead of cycling. “I promise: I will never be in a bicycle race. That I can tell you.”[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]He concluded - Sadly, the American dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back — bigger, and better and stronger."[/li][/ul]

confidence or arrogance?

I felt it was confidence because not many people would dare say some of the things he said. To think he is a billionaire with all the dumb things coming out of his mouth makes me think it’s because of his confidence.

Arrogance at its best!

Most likely he knows he will not win but it will make business sense in the long run for his companies

A fool and his money are soon elected :smiley:

I heard that he lies abt his wealth ad is probably worth some 2-3 hundred million dollars and can hardly be trusted.
