Donald J. Trump Republican Real estate mogul
A billionaire businessman who made his fortune
as a New York real estate developer before turning to reality
television, Mr. Trump promises to use his deal-making prowess to enrich
America. He has vowed to build a wall along the southern border, slash
taxes and crush ISIS.
-
“I assume when I pick up my telephone, people are listening to my conversations anyway, if you want to know the truth. It’s pretty sad commentary. But I err on the side of security.”Asked his views on the bulk collection of phone records, Mr. Trump stressed the threat against the United States. He indicated he would not object to rolling back limits on phone-record surveillance that were approved in June.
-
“I would bomb the hell out of ISIS.”Mr. Trump advocates going after the Islamic State's oil supplies. He also says that the United States should "take out" the families of Islamic State members.
-
“If Obama, through his weakness, lets them come in, I’m sending them out if I win.”
-
“We already have tremendous regulations. Now, if you look at my opponents, they’re very weak on the Second Amendment. I’m very, very strong.”Mr. Trump has pledged to veto any new gun control measure. In a 2000 book, he expressed support for banning assault weapons, but he now says that bans on guns and magazines for ammo “are a total failure.”
-
“This does not sound like me very much, but I want to sit back and I want to see what happens.”Mr. Trump has said he likes the idea of a “safe zone” being established in Syria. But he has questioned the idea of supporting rebels who oppose President Bashar al-Assad, and he has welcomed the idea of Russia attacking the Islamic State.
-
“You want to have clean air. You want to have clean water. That's very important to me, and I've won many environmental awards. I am not a believer in climate change.”Mr. Trump warns against putting American jobs in danger. "Weather changes, and you have storms, and you have rain and you have beautiful days," he said. "But I do not believe that we should imperil the companies within our country."
-
“I have always been a big believer, and continue to be, of the death penalty for horrendous crime.”After a woman was viciously attacked while jogging in Central Park in 1989, Mr. Trump took out full-page newspaper advertisements that declared, “Bring back the death penalty.”
-
“Repeal and replace with something terrific.”Though he once favored a single-payer program, Mr. Trump now says private plans are the way to go. He has called for opening competition to let people shop for insurance across state lines, and has promised to "make deals" with hospitals to provide care for the poor.
-
“I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall.”He has called for sending undocumented immigrants back to their home countries and requiring them to apply for legal status. He said that Muslims should be temporarily barred from entering the country.
