We have a special site, a special location. We have a neighborhood that at first was concerned but now has embraced us for the most part.
When I build something for somebody, I always add $50 million or $60 million onto the price. My guys come in, they say it's going to cost $75 million. I say it's going to cost $125 million, and I build it for $100 million. Basically, I did a lousy job. But they think I did a great job.
The plan I am proposing today does not involve smoke and mirrors, phony numbers, financial gimmicks, or the usual economic chicanery you usually find in Disneyland-on-the-Potomac.
If you really look, it's not a tax - it's really not a great thing for the wealthy. It's a great thing for the middle class. It's a great thing for companies to expand.
We're going to make America wealthy again, because if you don't do that, it just - it sounds harsh to say, but we have to build up the wealth of our nation.
There is a thing called clean coal. Coal will last for 1,000 years in America. Now we have natural gas and so many other things because of technology. We have unbelievable - we have found over the last seven years, we have found tremendous wealth right under our feet. So good. Especially when you have $20 trillion in debt.
Trickle-down did not work. It got us into the mess we were in, in 2008 and 2009. Slashing taxes on the wealthy hasn't worked.
I'm really calling for major jobs, because the wealthy are going create tremendous jobs. They're going to expand their companies.
By my calculations, 1 percent of Americans, who control 90 percent of the wealth in this country, would be affected by my plan.
I know a lot of wealthy people that have never been audited.
It's our last chance [November 8, 2016]. And that includes Supreme Court justices and Second Amendment. Remember that.
We are going to suspend the issuance of visas to any place where adequate screening cannot occur.
This declaration alone will help stop the crisis of illegal crossings and illegal overstays, very importantly.
One of the things I will do very early in my administration is to get rid of the Johnson Amendment so that our great pastors and ministers and rabbis and - and everybody - and priests and everybody can go and tell and can participate in the process.
