US has become 'third world country': Donald Trump
The Times of India ^ | March 19, 2016 | The Press Trust of India

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has said the US has now become a "third world country" as compared to infrastructures in Dubai and China, and promised that things would change once he is elected the American president.

"We have become a third world country, folks!," Trump, 69, told his supporters at an election rally at Sal Lake City in Utah, which goes to presidential primary elections on Tuesday.

"If you go to places like Dubai, China, you look at the roads, at the rail roads, they have the bullet trains that go 100s of miles an hour. And if you go to New York, they're like 100 years ago," he said.

Trump said the US under him would knock out the ISIS and rebuild the country.

"When it comes to trade, we are going to start being smart, because our country is poor. We are going to make American so great again. It is not great now. We need education to that," he said.

Reiterating that Trans-Pacific Partnership is a "disastrous" trade deal, Trump said the US under him would have deal that would favor America.

"It is not a question of free trading. Free trading is wonderful. The problem of free trading is that we need smart people on our side also. If I am president, I guarantee you they (Mexico) would pay (for the wall) and they would be very very happy about it," he said.

Trump said his administration would negotiate great trade deal amid applause and cheer from the audience.

"We are going to bring wealth back again because our country is a poor country. We have a deficit that you can not believe. We're sitting on a bubble, very dangerous bubble. We are sitting on a big fat ugly bubble. At some point unless we act quickly and smartly, it is going to explode. You need the right people. We have the wrong people now," Trump said.

He promised his supporters that things would start changing fast if he is elected the president.

Trump's address in Salt Lake City was the first election rally after his impressive victories in three States of Florida, Illinois and North Carolina on Tuesday.

On March 22, the presidential primary is scheduled to be held in American Samoa, Utah and Arizona which have more than 100 delegates in all.

Trump currently is leading the delegate count with 678. He is followed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz (423) and Ohio Governor John Kasich (143). To become the Republican nominee for the November 8 presidential elections, Trump needs 1,237 delegates.

That’s just the usual agenda 21 stuff. Running wild on the west coast where they are eliminating single family homes.

But people don’t get that....meanwhile we are stockpiling canned dogfood for our fur babies, and will begin for other foods soon. Never done it before in our lives...

Without Trump, I don’t see this country making it financially.

Don’t forget...20 Trillion in debt, 80 Trillion in future mandates...AND our infrastructure is crumbling and falling apart rapidly with no funds, short of more debt, to even begin to bring into the 21st century. And the dwindling amount we manufacture is swiftly leaving.

So how is Trump wrong?

He’s just the guy to find the shovel-ready jobs Obama couldn’t. Hadn’t really thought of Trump as Obama’s third term, but maybe so.

The memory of the United States as The Arsenal of Democracy now fades to be replaced by the realization of the United States as A Gulag of Dependency that in so many ways is indistinguishable from the vast majority of national governments.

If there weren’t 30-40 million young Americans lost to abortion since 1973 , there wouldn’t be an immigration problem. Who knows there might even be an American-born Ted Cruz among them.

My tagline is from Mother Teresa. She understood abortion better than anyone I know. She [and the 50+ million dead in heaven] would like the fact I repeat her words.

“America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men.

“It has shown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts ~ a child ~ as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters.

“And in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners.

“Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity.

“The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.”

I don’t know what this is called except agenda 21, ie using climate change to bring in communism.

Are you comfortable with what Trump has said about climate change? I’ll be honest, I don’t know. All I ever hear from him is “Lyin Ted, Lyin’ Ted, Lyin’ Ted.”

I have an atheist Bernie supporting niece who told me all the churches should be turned into homeless shelters. She shut up when I asked how many homeless were living with her.

> How hard is it to realize that millions are using their savings and retirement funds to support living cost

How true that is more than you know. Under this regime I had to dig into ALL of my savings and I have spoken to SO many who have said they have had to do the same. Obama's economic policies depleted millions of American's savings and I do think it was entirely intentional. His biggest donor has more than enough to have hired the socio-economic professors who would know how to destroy an entire culture and economy and Zi believe he used their methods to do so through our own Marxist president

We are being colonized by the Third World. We are approaching the highest percentage of foreign born in our history.
