Trump talked about his success in Pennsylvania and then asked, \u201cShould we run one more time?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Allentown,\u201d he said. \u201cI love any place that votes for me, which is the entire state of Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump spoke positively about Mack Trucks, a U.S. truck manufacturer, and thanked the president of the company, Steven Roy, calling him a \u201cgreat patriot\u201d and a \u201cvery strong Republican.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also discussed his tariffs on steel and aluminum, saying they would prevent people from other counties from stealing American jobs. Trump also referenced a 25% tariff on cars and trucks.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now we have more factories being built… than we\u2019ve ever had in the history of our country, by three times,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThat\u2019s because they didn\u2019t want to pay the tariff. How don\u2019t you pay a tariff? You build your factory here and hire American workers.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said tax cuts are supposed to boost take-home pay for Pennsylvanians by $10,000 a year per household.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe put you first,\u201d he said to the crowd.<\/p>\n
