compani like gm and chrysler __PUNCT__ thei put a lot of time and effort and monei into build up their brand __PUNCT__ and let american know that the american auto industri is back __PUNCT__
and we don't want suddenli a bunch of ad sai stuff that not true __PUNCT__
you don't scare hard __PUNCT__ work american just to scare up some vote __PUNCT__
that not what be presid is all about __PUNCT__
when i made the decis to rescu the auto industri __PUNCT__ it wasn't popular __PUNCT__ even here in ohio __PUNCT__

and that paid off in lordstown __PUNCT__ in toledo __PUNCT__ where compani ar creat new auto job __PUNCT__ not in china __PUNCT__ right here in ohio __PUNCT__ right here in the unit state of america __PUNCT__
