they compared my campaign to Pres Jackson of 1828 - . Did we do a great job together? we did a great job together. 1828 that's a long time ago. and he was a good Prez, right??

Clay was a fierce advocate of Amer manufacturing. He said free trade which would throw open our ports. He knew all the way back early 1800s that trade must be fair, equal, and reciprocal. I'm talking about reciprocal trade. I mentioned that to a group in my office the other day. I'm looking forward to these great deals. Harley makes great MCs, they were in my office and they came in - some countries charge us $100 import tax, 100% so if other countries are going to charge us 100% then we'll charge them that. We can't allow that to happen

For too long our govt has abandoned the American system. NAFTA the worst trade agreement in the history of the world - but don't worry, we'll be starting on that soon. Someone asked me when we're going to start on it, I said wait I've done this this and this - give me a chance, I've done so much.

NAFTA is going to be an easy one .

China - that's another beauty. US has lost more than 60K factories. We sacrificed our middle class to finance growth of foreign countries. Those days are OVER, is that okay?? Those days are over. It's crazy. You see car companies coming back because of Trump we're coming back. They're saying it loud and clear. Because from now on it's going to be AMERICA FIRST>

GingerIvy · 21/03/2017 00:06

we willb e, i promise you, a rich nation once again. We will do what we have to do and we will not allow other countries to take advantage of us as they have been to a level you would not believe Not going to happen again.

You just worry about your basketball team, I'll take care of the rest.

To be rich nation, we must be safe. I will secure defend and protect the US borders. we will build , that's right, a great great border wall. and you know it's already out to bid, you've probably been reading - tremendous number of bidders, so we'll get it at the right price. We will stop the drugs pouring into our country poisoning our country from the southern border. We've cut the illegal immigration at southern border by 61% since my inauguration. And the courts are not making it easy folks, not making it easy. terrible. 61%. Through the campaign, I met with many Amer families whose loved ones were viciously killed by illegal immigrants. incredible, incredible. These amazing amer lives were stolen because our govt refused to enforce our laws. the media doesn't want to talk about it they don't want to talk about it. They'e been ignored by everyone but ME and you, you showed that on Nov 8. They will never be ignored by us.

As we speak tonight, we are finding the drug dealers, robbers, gang members, predators, killers, and criminals of all types, preying on our citizens, you've been seeing it - one by one they are being tracked down and thrown the hell out of our country and they will not be let back in.

'Federal anti-nepotism laws prevent relatives from being appointed to government positions. But the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel recently said the president's "special hiring authority" allowed him to appoint Kushner to the West Wing staff. Gorelick noted the office also made clear that the president could consult family members as private citizens, arguing that this is what Ivanka Trump will be doing.'

I've quoted of course.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 21/03/2017 00:08

They are reporting on Spicer's press conference at the mo. It's mortifying. Again, I am so embarrassed for our fellow American posters. I hope this comes to a head soon & things get back to normal.

USA USA USA USA blah bah blah

we are also working to protect our citizens from terorism.we have seen the devastation at home from 911 to boston to san bernadino and many many other places. attacks overseas, germany, belgium. It's time for intelligence and common sense to be used. the single best way to protect and you have to do this you have to do this, and to keep foreing terrorist from attacking us is to keep them from entering our country in the first place. And we will stop radical islamic terrorism. we will stop - not going to let it happen here.

Finally we want a big tax cut - but can't until we repeat and replace the disaster known as Obamacare. And wer'e going to be working with Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan working very hard to get that done. As we move forward to crucial house vote on Thursday on very painful anniversay of Obama care's start. What's the alternative? What you have is nothing. the worst - it's a big lie. and remember this - so true - I happen to like Rand Paul - I like him, good guy. I look forward to working with him so we can get this bill passed so we can pass massive tax reform, which we can't do until this happens. We gotta get it done, for a lot of reasons, but that'sone of them.

Andit's mportant to realise how we got to obamacare int eh first place. 2009 2010 house dems forced through a bill that nobody read and nobody understood. It's not even understandable. They ignored the public, the votes, and jammed it right through congress. and this is what we have. it's time for Dem leaders in Washington to take reposnbiiltliy for the disaster they and tehy alone created.

blah blah blah dissing Obamacare blah blah blah lots of repeating the same old shit and I'm too lazy to type it.

cozietoesie · 21/03/2017 00:13

He mentioned Paul by name?

GingerIvy · 21/03/2017 00:13

ACA one broken promise after another...

tremendous trouble - it's a disaster...

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 21/03/2017 00:15

You've done sterling work, Ginger, and stuck with it for longer than I could bear. Star

cozietoesie · 21/03/2017 00:19

Yes indeed. I had to give up. Blush

GingerIvy · 21/03/2017 00:19

blah blah, still complaining about "obamacare catastrophe"

Then the tax cuts. big cuts. And remember we'll negotiate, and end result will be wonderful and it's gonna work great.

Then we'll bring down the cost of medicine by having a fair and competitive bidding process - some people think that's jsut as important as helathcare. higher than in europe - same pill, same company - why higher here? campaign contributions, I don't know. But someone is getting rich. We'll bring it way way down - I said we gotta add that the bill. I am confident that if we empower the Amer people we will accomplish incredible things for our government.

By the way that second amendment is very very safe I promise I promise you I promise - it's very very safe - second amendment is very safe. If a certain other person had won this elecion, it wouldn't be safe. And if they came to make a speech, maybe 250 people would have shown up.

Just imagine what we could accomplish as a united american people. Our economy will be unleashed and millions will be lifted from welfare and will work - they'll love it - from welfare to work. our children will be educated in schools that teach them to love our country and values. Inner cities will have a rebirth of hope, safety, and opportunities.

cozietoesie · 21/03/2017 00:20

He's making it far too long. Smile

GingerIvy · 21/03/2017 00:21

our dying factories will come roaring back to life - already happening.

in our dealings with other nations we will find a new era and we won't be played for the fool and the suckers any longer. this is the future if we embrace our destiny as americans. this is one of the biggest and greatest events in our country - we're gonna be better than anyone thought p[ossible. one people and we share one thing - whether we are black, brown, or white, we all bleed the same red blood. We all salute the same great american flag. and we are all made by the same almighty god.

as long as we remember these truths, we will not fail. nobody, nobody can beat us. we are americans and the future belongs to us. the future belongs to you. this is your timeand this the USof A is your country again.

My apologies for bringing that unbelievable trash. But at least typing it meant I didn't have to look at his face and watch him. hahahaha Bonus for me.

Anyone note the irony that the song they played IMMEDIATELY after he finished up his speech with his rant about what he was going to do was a rousing rendition of "YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT"???

Yeah. Sorry so long - I was trying to get as much of it as I could. Holy hell, that man can talk a lot to say bloody nothing at all. The easiest way to keep up with him would be to just keep all the phrases nearby and keep typing "insert ridiculous claim 1 here" "insert ridiculous claim 2 here" ... it's just the same thing over and over. Like a fucking used car salesman that's trying to sell you a gutted VW bug and is telling you it's a Porsche.

Whoopsie - campaign-like propaganda Twitter account re Gorsuch run by the WH. Apparently Dems could push for this to disqualify Gorsuch as they're not allowed to run a campaign?
