| Questioner grills Donald Trump on defending 'Zionist Israel' | |
| The fourth question - well, technically the third question, since Trump never allowed the first person to ask a question - comes from a man who says “we have something in common: respect for human life.” | |
| Trump nods reticently. | |
| “Number one: I’m opposed to the murder of unborn babies being legal,” the man says. “Number two: I’m opposed to our wasting our military in the Middle East on behalf of Zionist Israel.” | |
| Trump, slightly flummoxed at the two issues being brought up at an address putatively about US trade policy, responds to the second comment. | |
| “Lemme just tell you that Israel is a very, very important ally of the United States, and we are going to protect them 100%. One-hundred percent,” Trump says. “It’s our true friend over there, and we are going to protect Israel 100%.” | |
| “As to number one, we are all with you,” Trump says succinctly. | |
| “Wow, that was nasty! Are we all with Israel? Man!” Trump says, shaking his head, before taking another question. | |

| A questioner asks Donald Trump about the likely “corporate backlash” of international companies who won’t be too keen on cutting into their profits by manufacturing and consuming within the United States. | |
| “You’re gonna have a backlash where maybe people are gonna move from New Hampshire, but they’re gonna move to another state. Plenty to choose from!” Trump says. “My tax plan is cutting business taxes way down, and cutting taxes for middle income and everybody way down.” | |
| “We’re gonna simplify our tax code, number one, and we’re gonna cut our taxes. We’re at the highest tax, we’re just about he highest taxes in the world,” Trump says, saying that “we’re gonna make corporations wanna come back.” | |
| “Companies are actually leaving the United States and going to other countries to pick up their money cause they can’t get their money in. And that money could be used to rebuild the United States!” Trump says. “We’re gonna bring our money into the United States - trillions of dollars, we bring it into the United States!” | |
| “We will do things that are going to be so miraculous - and it’ll be fast! You know, it won’t take a long period of time.” | |

| Donald Trump’s first town hall event features him interrupting his first questioner, a self-described “manufacturing guy,” three times. Still no idea what his question was, although it seemed to be headed towards creating a culture of domestic consumption of goods. | |
| Another questioner, an impassioned man whose company manufactured police badges before he lost business to China, calls current trade issues “unfair.” | |
| “What are you gonna do for us?” | |
| “We don’t play the game they play the game - they play the game to win, we play the game to survive,” Trump says of China. “We’re gonna start playing the game to win. So just hang in there - I know it’s not easy, but just hang in their, man.” | |
