Trump: There Is No Global Flag, No Global Currency, No Global Citizenship. We Will Be United As Americans


At Donald Trump's first post-victory "Thank You" rally in Cincinnati, Ohio, the president-elect outlined his "America First" policy. He said that attempts to "separate us by race, by age, by income, by place of birth, and by geography" were over.

He said: "Now is the time to embrace the one thing that truly unites us. You know what that is? America."

He continued: "We hear a lot of talk about how we are becoming a 'globalized world.' But the relationships that people value in this country are local."

"There is no global anthem. No global currency. No certificate of global citizenship. We pledge allegiance to one flag and that flag is the American flag," he continued. "From now on it is going to be: America First... Never anyone again will any other interests come before the interest of the American people. It is not going to happen again."

PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: For too long, Washington has tried to put us in boxes. The separate us by race, by age, by income, by place of birth, and by geography. They spend too much time focusing on what divides us.

Now is the time to embrace the one thing that truly unites us. You know what that is? America.

Because when America is unified, nothing is beyond our reach. I mean that. You will see...

We're going to have a country that is so great, in so many different ways.

We hear a lot of talk about how we are becoming a "globalized world." But the relationships that people value in this country are local. Family, state, country. They are local.

We wil compete in the world. We will compete in the world where is a two-way road -- not the one way around. The advantages will come back to our country, and they haven't for many years.

There is no global anthem. No global currency. No certificate of global citizenship. We pledge allegiance to one flag and that flag is the American flag.
