Trump: ‘43 Million Are Now Living in Poverty’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TRUMP: "Tonight, as I outlined the next steps we must take as a country, we must honestly acknowledge the circumstances we inherited. 94 million Americans are out of the labor force. Over 43 million people are now living in poverty, and over 43 million Americans are on food stamps. More than one in five people in their prime working years are not working. We have the worst financial recovery and 65 years. In the last eight years, the past administration has put on more new debt than nearly all of the other presidents combined. We have lost more than one fourth of our manufacturing jobs since NAFTA was approved, and we have lost 60,000 factories since China joined the world trade organization in 2001. The trade deficit in the goods with the world last year was nearly $800 billion, and overseas, we have inherited a serious tragic foreign policy disaster. Solving these and so many other pressing problems require us to work asked the differences of party. It will require us to tap into the American spirit that has overcome every challenge throughout our long and storied history. But to a commissar gold at home and abroad -- to accomplish our goals at home and abroad, we start the engine of the academy. Make it easy to do business, and much harder for companies to leave our country."
