## Transcript

This is what I wanna do for our country. I wanna jump start America and it can be done and it won't even be that hard. I am going to cut regulations massively. Mass of you. These reforms will open the biggest tax revolution since the Regan Tax Reform. We will make America grow again. [ APPLAUSE ] The one common feature of every Hilary Clinton idea Is that it punishes you for working and doing business in the United States. Hillary Clinton short circuited again to use a now famous term when she accidentally told the truth and said that she wanted to raise taxes on the middle class. [ APPLAUSE ] [ applause ] I will say the Bernie Sanders people had far more energy and spirit.

I will say it.
