Donald Trump: ‘I am officially running for president of the United States’Donald Trump promised to “take the brand of the United States and make it great again,” as he announced a 2016 bid for the presidency on Tuesday morning in New York City, making good on nearly 30 years of hinting at a possible White House run.
“Our country needs a truly great leader, and we need a great leader now,” Trump said. “We also need a cheerleader.” The real estate mogul and reality star admitted that he thought President Obama could have been a good cheerleader for the nation when he was elected in 2008, but failed to lead.
“Our country is in serious trouble, we don’t have victories anymore,” Trump said to a raucous crowd while detailing what he considers America’s diminished standing compared to nations like China. “I beat China all the time,” he said.
He opened his remarks by taking shots at the current 2016 GOP field. “How are they going to beat ISIS?” he asked rhetorically. Trump spend a lot of time discussing foreign policy and America’s international reputation. “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems,” Trump said singling out Mexico in particular for criticism.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best, they’re not sending you, they’re sending people who have lots of problems,” he said. Trump also argued that the economic recovery is not as robust as had been reported. “Don’t believe that 5.6% [rate],” he said. According to Trump, the real unemployment rate “anywhere from 18-19 and maybe even 21%.”
In addition to promising to repeal Obamacare, Trump pledged to “make America great again.” Following his campaign announcement the DNC said in a tongue-in-cheek statement, “He adds some much-needed seriousness that has previously been lacking from the GOP field.”
