\u201cDonald Trump just previewed his 2020 message to America \u2014 a bizarre, unhinged rant full of lies, empty rhetoric, and divisive attacks. It is abundantly clear that Trump is unfit to lead. He does not have a plan to help middle-class families get ahead, and he has no intention of trying to bring our country together.\u201d \u2014 DNC Deputy Trump War Room Director Daniel Wessel<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s some of what Trump had to say:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t go off script, our country is in big trouble, folks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Green New Deal, right. Green New Deal. I encourage it. I think it\u2019s really something that they should promote, they should work hard on. It\u2019s something our country needs desperately. They have to go out and get it, but I\u2019ll take the other side of that argument, only because I\u2019m mandated to. I\u2019m mandated. But they should stay with that argument. Never change. Never change. No planes, no energy. When the wind stops blowing, that\u2019s the end of your electric. \u2018Darling, darling, is the wind blowing today? I\u2019d like to watch television, darling.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 1913, they ended tariffs. They ended tariffs. Somebody got stupid, and they ended tariffs. They said, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s okay for other nations to come in\u2019 \u2013 I won\u2019t use a certain word because it\u2019s not politically \u2013 but everybody knows the word I\u2019d love to use. Should I use it? I won\u2019t do it. Our great first lady always said, \u2018Don\u2019t use certain words please.\u2019 I said, \u2018But the audience wanted me to do it.\u2019 She said, \u2018Don\u2019t do it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause with the fake news if you tell a joke, if you\u2019re sarcastic, if you\u2019re having fun with the audience, if you\u2019re on live television with millions of people and 25,000 people in an arena, and if you say something like \u2018Russia, please, if you can, get us Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails. Please, Russia, please! Please get us the emails! Please!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, you put the wrong people in a couple of positions, and they leave people for a long time that shouldn\u2019t be there, and all of a sudden they\u2019re trying to take you out with bullshit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo obstruction. That\u2019s the other thing. If you use your rights, if you use your power, if you use Article 2, it\u2019s called obstruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey did the same thing at our big inauguration speech. You take a look at those crowds. And I watched one of the evening shows that are ridiculous how horrible they are, how mean, how horrible, and I watched it by mistake. And they showed \u2013 they showed from the White House all the way down, they showed from the Capitol, they showed there were people \u2013 nobody\u2019s ever seen it \u2013 the Capitol down to the Washington Monument people. But I saw picture that were no people. Those pictures were taken hours before. And they always mention crowd size. \u2018He talks about crowd size.\u2019 So I\u2019m constantly bugging Mercedes whenever we have a slow moment. I say, \u2018Mercedes and Sarah, show them the pictures. Show them and compare them with what they put on television.\u2019 Those pictures were taken hours before.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have people in Congress right now, we have people in Congress that hate our country. And you know that, and we can name every one of them if they want. They hate our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the craziest plan, and yet I see Senators that are there for 20 years \u2013 white hair. See, I don\u2019t have white hair. Don\u2019t have it. I don\u2019t have white hair.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I see these white hair, longtime Senators standing behind this young woman, and she\u2019s ranting and raving like a lunatic. And these Senators, \u2018Yes, I agree with this. Yes, I agree.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe crazy female Senator from the state of Ohio. The state of Hawaii. Right? She\u2019s like a crazed person. What she said about men is so bad. What she said about men is so bad. But she\u2019s standing in the hallway, and she didn\u2019t know too much about the plan because she\u2019s, you know, she can\u2019t understand that plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I ran for president, my first speech, I mentioned the word \u2018rape.\u2019 The press went after me. I couldn\u2019t believe it. I said, \u2018Will it be like this always?\u2019 The answer was yes. It even got worse. From day one. I mentioned the word \u2018rape.\u2019 If you look at that speech, that was so innocent compared to what\u2019s really happening. That was a very innocent speech compared to the real facts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of spirit in the House. And I think in the Senate too, but we\u2019re going to have to see because we have a vote coming up. And a lot of people talk about precedent. Precedent. That if we do this, the Democrats will use national emergency powers for something that we don\u2019t want. They\u2019re going to do that anyway, folks. The best way to stop that is to make sure that I win the election. That\u2019s the best way to stop that. They\u2019re going to do it anyway. They\u2019ll do it anyway. I watch them. Good people. They\u2019re friends of mine. \u2018We\u2019re very concerned with setting precedent.\u2019 That precedent, not president. Precedent. \u2018We\u2019re very concerned about setting precedent.\u2019 I\u2019m very concerned with having murderers and drug traffickers and drugs and drug cartels pouring into our country. That\u2019s what I\u2019m concerned about.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur immigration system is so broken, folks. It\u2019s so broken. It\u2019s so sad to see. It\u2019s incompetent. It\u2019s laughed at all over the world. We have people pouring in from not just the southern border and Mexico. From China. They have a baby on our land. The baby becomes a citizen. Welcome to the United States for hopefully 90 years. Okay, and then the parents come in with the baby because the baby\u2019s a citizen. This is like crazy. They used to call it anchor babies, but they don\u2019t use that term anymore because it doesn\u2019t sound nice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
