China / Japan – economic competition:
- ”When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time. All the time.” (ln. 15-16)
- ”When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo? It doesn’t exist, folks. They beat us all the time.” (ln. 18-19)
⇒ incentive to be economically competitive
Islamists:
- ”It’s [the immigration] coming from all over South and Latin America, and it’s coming probably— probably— from the Middle East” (ln. 31-32)
- ”Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. They’ve become rich.” (ln. 35)
- ”They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel. When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They don’t have to pay interest, because they took the oil that, when we left Iraq, I said we should’ve taken.” (ln. 37-39)
⇒ justify Iraq war & maybe justify future military conflict with the middle east
Democrats:
- ”Don’t believe the 5.6. Don’t believe it.”
⇒ democrats are lying, vote for conservatives/Trump instead
Mexico (+ China, + Japan) – immigration:
- ”When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically.” (ln. 20-21)
- ”When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. […] They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” (ln. 24-27)
- ”They can’t get jobs, because there are no jobs, because China has our jobs and Mexico has our jobs. They all have jobs.” (ln. 46-47)
⇒ sharpen border control, increase nationalism
⇒ justify deportation of immigrants
