When I declared my candidacy, I knew what bad shape America was in. And believe me all you have to do is look at world events. All you have to do is look at the $1.7 billion that we sent to Iran in cash. In cash. All you have to do is see the way ISIS was created in the vacuum left by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama out of Iraq.

This election [2016] will determine whether America is a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged.

Wouldn't it be nice if we actually got along with people, wouldn't it be nice if we actually got along, as an example, with Russia?

Hillary Clinton wants to abolish - essentially abolish - the Second Amendment.

We pay billions - hundreds of billions of dollars to supporting other countries that are in theory wealthier than we are.

Hillary Clinton tries to reset, it failed. They all tried. But I'm different than those people. Go ahead.

That is a terrible situation, isn't it? Where they can say we don't like the way you're speaking about Christianity, about God. We don't like what you just said and we're gonna take away your tax exempt status which you know how important it is.
