Donald Trump announced that he will be running for presidency at Trump Tower in New York City. "Our country needs a truly great leader, and we need a truly great leader now. Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for President of the United States and we are going to make our country great again," he said, according to the New York Daily News.

Trump's announcement speech was full of direct and indirect insults to world leaders, many nationalities and especially President Obama.

Many on social media called his remarks outrageous and out-of-touch with common sense. During his speech he talked about many subjects including the job market, and the immigration issue but many people reported feeling like he mostly talked about China and Mexico.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best, they're sending people who have lots of problems,They are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists," he said. His solution to stop the influx of illegal immigrants entering to US was building a great wall, and he claimed he would make Mexico pay for it.

Talking about the job market and outsourcing of American jobs to mainly China, he said "I will be the great jobs President that God ever created," promising he will bring those jobs back to America. After all that "bad" talk about the giant Asian nation, he said he actually likes China and noted that he sold an apartment worth $15 million to someone from China.

Trump was asked about how he will run his campaign regarding donations and finances, he said "I am using my own money. I am not using lobbyists. I am not using donors. I don't care. I am really rich."

His confidence did not end there and President Obama was not even spared from his rampage. He said "Obama is going to be out playing golf. He might even be on one of my courses,"  the New York Daily News reported.
