'touched' on a number of 'subjects' -- including 'illegal immigration'. in greenville -- with 'reaction' -- from 'trump supporters'. jon? donald trump did largely what he was expected to tonight.. delivered a policy speech, largely on immigration. this was an important speech in that regard.. news was made. but he also did what he does best.. delighted the crowd.. with promises to win back the white house for republicans in 62 days. we are going to make america so so so so great again. it's a promise that's fueled his campaign and tonight, he laid

18.56.40 number 1, we're going to eliminate every unconstitutional executive order and restore the rule of law to our land. the second thing on trumps agenda.. the wall. who's going to pay for the wall? mexico! who? mexico! exactly right. other trump pledges tonight.. he would undo obamacare.. appoint conservative supreme court.. and suspend the syrian refugee program. in it's place, developing regional safe zones.. as with the wall, saying there too, people would pay for it. it's called the opm theory of money. i love that theory. it's called "other people's money." trump said he'd give military leaders 30 days to develop plans to "soundly and quickly" defeat isis, renegotiate long-standing trade agreements including nafta..
