Trump to Coast Guard: ‘You Have a Country that Is Really Starting to Turn’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "I just spoke to a lot of your friends in Afghanistan and in Iraq. We spoke to the USS Monterey, great ship, great missile ship. We spoke to a lot of different folks from the Air Force, the Army, just now a little while ago at Mar-a-Lago. The telecommunications system. What you can do now, we go live to Iraq and live to Afghanistan and it was really incredible. But I told them our country is doing great. And you folks are fighting so hard and working so hard and it's nice that you are working for something that is really starting to work. We’ve cut back so much on regulation and all the waste and all the abuse. And the stock market on Friday hit the all-time high. The highest it’s ever been, ever. In your whole long life the stock market is the highest it’s ever been. That means your 401(k)s and all the things that you have, you know, whether it's -- even if you’re in the military, you have a country that's really starting to turn."
