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.
If we are not already, we are on the brink of becoming one.
America needs to become good again before it can even think of being great again.
He is right about a lot of things...well we’re not quite 3rd world yet except for the Dem run ghettos in places like Detroit and Camden NJ, but yea the highways in certain places are always jam packed, crowded, and were never designed to take on the volume that they currently do. The trains I commute to work every day on are old, slow, creaky, and often late/broken down
20 trillion in debt? getting there.
what scares me is the more he says, the more I fear it’s over if he loses.
or at least the beginning of a revolution.
THE MAN!!! :)
I joked at 18 that they would still be doing work on the BQE when I graduated college. That ‘86.
Trump has a lot of flaws to be sure, I won’t argue there.
But frankly, he’s the last option we have at this point. We’re going down anyway, so we might as well throw a “Hail Mary.”
was ‘86. they still are and NEVER stopped.
LMAO!
20 trillion in debt. Another 80 trillion in future unfunded mandates.
Open borders. Corrupt political system controlled by Soros types.
Sounds 3rd world to me...
I THINK he can turn it around.
maybe 70/30 chance with him.
30/70 with Cruz/
0/100 with Hillary
0/10000 with Bernie :)
America needs to become good again before it can even think of being great again.

And a good start would be to get rid of the career politicians. It has become a lifetime job for them, they aren’t helded accountable, once elected they get reelected with no skin in the process. America has slowly gone down the tube with career policticians, imo.
US has become ‘third world country’: Donald Trump
Bingo. We recently had a visitor who was walking around our downtown. She said it looked like India with all the homeless. Ironic, isn’t it.
I would put it as Obama turned this country into a ghetto, but that would be considered racist.
Another huge similarity with the U.S. and “other” third-world countries is that now we have a government faction openly hijacking elections to thwart the will of the majority of people. When our votes don’t count, and the PTB tell us our votes don’t/won’t count, it’s a third-world country.
That is such an understatement. It is crony capitalists who are looting the entire system top to bottom. Once you see what it looks like from the inside you realize that we have reached maximum graft. There is so much grift that the grifters can only grift from each other.
There's a meme for you - have we reached peak graft?
If not third world, at least decadent.
Passing laws without reading them is
not the sign of a healthy nation.
that’s what happens when you elect a third world President
No politician can do that for us. We have to do that ourselves.
