Donald Trump flew into North Carolina on Tuesday, promising the voters that he will build a border wall, impose tariffs on companies that leave the United States, and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

“I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created,” said Trump.

“We’re going to tell them if you move, we’re going to charge you 35 percent every time you make an air conditioner and think you are going to sell it back into the [United States].”

Trump spoke at a rally in Kenansville, east of Fayetteville, and much of his speech was centered on trade and immigration.

Trump told the North Carolina crowd that many of its companies were negotiating to move out of the state, likely to another nation. He said he would end factory relocations to nations such as Mexico by imposing a 35 percent tariff.

Trump reminded the crowd Carrier Corp., one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of air conditioners, announced they were leaving the Indianapolis area just before the May 3 Republican presidential primary in Indiana.

“What were’s going to do is tell Carrier and everybody … we’re going to tell them if you move, we’re going to charge you 35 percent every time you make an air conditioner and think you are going to sell it back into the country,” Trump said to cheers Tuesday.

Trump said he spoke to one of his business friends who told him Mexico was out-competing the United States. The friend said Mexico was sucking factory jobs out of states such as North Carolina and Michigan. The friend also told Trump that Mexico’s business environment was becoming the “eighth wonder of the world.”

Trump said he would build a strong border wall with Mexico to prevent illegal immigration, which perhaps drew the loudest cheers. On borders and immigration, perhaps the thing that bothered Trump most was seeing Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, steal his rhetoric.

He said Clinton was stealing the term, “extreme vetting,” as it applies to new immigrants and refugees. But even as she said this, Trump said, President Obama and Clinton were plotting to allow tens of thousands of new Syrian refugees to come to the United States.

“Hillary Clinton wants open borders,” Trump said. “We can’t do this, folks. We’re not going to have a country.”
