I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

We need strength, we need energy, we need quickness and we need brain in this country to turn it around.

I have had a truly great life in business, but now my sole and exclusive mission is to go to work for our country, to go to work for you. It's time to deliver a victory for the American people. We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again.

If you look at China - and frankly, Vietnam now is doing a big number, and you look at Japan and India and Mexico - Mexico's killing us at the border and they're killing us with trade.

[NATO countries] have no respect for our country. They will do it. They'll be happy to do it.

If you don't have passion, you have no energy, and if you don't have energy, you have nothing.

What I will do is put America first. People don't like to use that term of America first, but we're going to make America great again by putting America first.
