Trump: ‘The Previous Administration Gave Us a Mess’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
TRUMP: "But to understand the historic progress that we’ve made, we must speak honestly about the situation that we and I inherited. Believe me, the previous administration gave us a mess. For decades our country has lived through the greatest jobs theft in the history of the world. You people know it better than anybody in Pennsylvania. Our factories were shuttered. Steel mills closed down and our jobs were stolen away and shipped far away to other countries, some of which you never even heard of. Politicians sent troops to protect the borders of foreign nations, but left America’s borders wide open for all to violate. We have spent billions and billions of dollars on one global project after another, and yet as gangs flooded into our country, we couldn’t even provide safety for our own people. Our government rushed to join international agreements where the United States pays the cost and bears the burdens while other countries get the benefit and pay nothing."
