During victory speech, Donald Trump vows to make America 'rich again'


Donald Trump celebrated his wins in Florida, Illinois, and North Carolina on Tuesday night by promising to "make our country rich again, make our country great again."
"We don't win at trade," he told supporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. "China, Japan, Mexico, Vietnam, India, name the country, anybody we do business with, beats us. We don't win at trade, we're going to win at trade. We're going to make our country rich again, we're going to make our country great again. We need the rich in order to make the great, I'm sorry to tell you."
The Republican frontrunner also vowed to "knock the hell out of ISIS" and get companies like Apple to make their products exclusively in the United States. There is "great anger" in the country, Trump said, and Republicans have to "bring our party together." He also said that "nobody has ever in the history of politics received the kind of negative advertising that I have," adding that about "90 percent is false, vicious, horrible." If you can make it to the end of the race, he said, "you can handle a lot of things, including pressure. There's nothing like it — lies, deceit, viciousness, disgusting reporters, horrible people." He ended his message by saying the U.S. will "win, win, win, and we're not stopping, we're going to have great victories for our country."
