“The Donald” is in.
In a bizarre and bombastic speech Tuesday, outspoken billionaire Donald Trump said he will run for president in 2016.
“Our country needs a truly great leader, and we need a truly great leader now,” Trump said. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again.”
Over the course of the roughly 20-minute speech, Trump took strange shots at every country imaginable, lobbing offensive insults at several nationalities.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said, in an attempt to outline his views on immigration.
“They’re sending people who have lots of problems,” he added, which include “drugs” and “being rapists.”
Later, he attacked China for stealing jobs from U.S. workers and promised he would restore the American economy.
“I will be the great jobs president that God ever created,” he said.
Trump joins another 12 declared candidates in the crowded, and ever-growing race for the Republican presidential nomination.
