[ APPLAUSE ] [00:19] When Mexico sends it's people, they're not sending their [00:23] best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. [00:27] They're sending people that have lots of problems and [00:31] they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing [00:35] drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some [00:40] I assume are good people. But I speak to Border Guards. [00:43] And they tell us what we're getting. We need a leader that [00:48] can bring back our jobs, can bring back our manufacturing, [00:51] can bring back our military. Can take care of our vets. Our [00:56] vets have been abandoned. [ APPLAUSE ] [01:02] And we also need a cheerleader. You [01:06] know, when President Obama was elected I [01:11] said, well the one thing I think he'll do well, I think he'll be a [01:15] great cheerleader For the Country. I think he would be a [01:19] great spirit. He was vibrant, I really thought [01:23] that he would be a great cheerleader. I don't anybody's [01:26] money. It's nice. I don't need anybody's money. I am using [01:29] my own money. I am not using the lobbyist, I am not using [01:32] donor's, I don't care. I am really rich. I assure you that. [01:38] And by the way I am not even saying that, to [01:41] [ UNKNOWN ]. That is the kind of mindset, that is the kind [01:44] of thinking you need for this country. Absolutely. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3955978/donald-trump-instagram-troll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3955978/donald-trump-instagram-troll/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Trolls Critics on Instagram","datePublished":"2015-07-13T19:06:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:29:09.573Z","description":"Republican presidential candidate and reality television star Donald Trump is trolling his frequent critics in the media.","url":"https://time.com/3955978/donald-trump-instagram-troll/","keywords":["Donald Trump","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd98948739cb7305b/69885a8c35ba6f7997c0e26f/donald_trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd98948739cb7305b/69885a8c35ba6f7997c0e26f/donald_trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump","caption":"Donald Trump","creditText":"Ross D.
