[After Kansas killing, Donald Trump FINALLY reacts]
Here are the highlights of his speech:
-
We
will
be
inspired
by
future,
not
bound
by
failures
of
the
past
-
guided
by
vision,
not
blinded
by
doubts.
- We want harmony and stability, not war and conflict. We want peace, wherever peace can be found.

am
not
going
to
let
America
be
taken
advantage

support
NATO,
an
alliance
forged
through
bonds
of
two
World
Wars
that
dethroned
fascism,
a
Cold
War
that
defeated
communism.
We
will
respect
historic
institutions,
but
we
will
also
respect
the
foreign
rights
of
nations
and
they
have
to
respect
our
rights.
-
We
must
provide
the
men
and
women
of
U.S.
Military
with
the
tools
they
need
to
prevent
war
and
if
they
must,
to
fight
and
to
win.
I
am
sending
a
budget
that
calls
for
one
of
the
largest
increases
in
national
defence
spending
in
American
history.
- Have told Homeland Security to set up a centre to help Americans who are victims of crime by illegal immigrants.

We
must
build
bridges

of
law
enforcement.

Every
American
child
should
be
able

community,

great
school,
and

have
access
to
a
high-paying
job.

I
call
on
this

replace

be
our
principle.
