46 strong points Donald Trump made in his conference speech
Some were so professional that I have upped my opinion by a notch for you. I think a lot of industries will be coming back.
Jobs creator
3. We need to create new bidding procedures for drug companies. There is very little bidding on medications. We are going to save a lot of money in time.
4. I am very much involved with Generals over the F-35 issue. We are very behind. We are also looking at the F-18 programme.
5. I will be the greatest jobs producer that God ever created.
6. We will focus on veterans. Our veterans have been treated very unfairly.
The Russia hacking and Intelligence briefings
7. “As far as hacking is concerned, I think it was Russia.”
8. “The Democratic National Convention was open to be hacked. They could have had hacking defence which we had.”
Ties with Vladimir Putin
9. If Putin likes Trump, I consider that as an asset. Russia can help us fight ISIS, which is tricky.
10. This administration created ISIS, they left at the wrong time.
11. Does anyone believe Clinton would’ve been tougher on Putin? Give me a break!
12. When I leave our country, I am a very high profile person.
The Russian business deals
13. I am also very much of a germaphobe, believe me.
14. I have no dealings with Russia. I have no deals in Russia. No deals that could happen in Russia and have no loans in Russia.
15. I have very low debt
On his government and business
16. I have no conflict of interest provision for presidents.
17. I could actually run my business and government at the same time. It doesn’t look nice but I could if I wanted to.
18. I am not going to release my tax returns.
Regarding Rex Tillersen
19. Our trade deals are a disaster.
20. We have so much trade imbalance with China and Japan.
21. We need people who are successful and smart. I am very proud of my cabinet.
On ObamaCare
22. ObamaCare is a disaster. They can say whatever they want. It’s imploding.
23. 2017 is going to be catastrophic..
24. ObamaCare is the Democrats problem. We will take it off the shelves for them.
25. We could sit back and let them hang with it. We are doing the Democrats a great service.
Regarding Jobs
26. You want to move your plant to Mexico and shut down your plant in Michigan, it will not happen anymore.
27. We will have a very large border tax.
28. I don’t care as long as plants are moving within the United States.
Building the Mexico wall
29. We are going to build a wall. We can wait for a year and a half but I don’t want to wait. Mike Pence is leading.
30. We are going to start building. Mexico will, in some form, reimburse us- whether it’s a tax or payment. We WILL build a wall.
31. I would ask people, “We will build a wall. Who is going to pay?” and people would scream out, “Mexico”.
32. Mexico has been nice. I respect the Mexican government. I have many people from Mexico working for me and they are incredible.
33. I don’t blame Mexico for taking advantage of our border laws. But it is not going to happen anymore.
On fake news
34. I think it was disgraceful that fake intel agencies was released. I think that was something that would’ve happened in “Germany”.
35. I don’t recommend reforms, I recommend people that have some moral compass.
36. I can speak back. I have seen people destroyed. All I can ask for are honest reporters.
37. Intel agencies are vital and important. We will put in some outstanding people. Within 90 days, they will come to me with a major report on hacking.
38. US is the worst in terms of protection – out of 17 countries, the US is last in protecting hacking defence.
39. We were told they were trying to hack us, but they couldn’t hack us. I said I want a strong hacking defence. The Democrats didn’t do that.
40. The US is hacked by everybody.. including Russia and China.
41. I said Russia could be behind the hacking. But it could be others also.
Russia-US relationship
42. Russia will have more respect for US under me.
43. 22 million accounts were hacked by China as we have no defence.
44. Russia will have far more respect for US when I will lead it. I wont give it a RESET button like Hillary.
45. But Russia and other countries including China, which has taken advantage of us, Japan, Mexico…. All countries will respect us far more than they do under the current administration.
46. After 8 years, I hope they do a good job. Else, I am gonna say, “YOU”RE FIRED”
