Watch Donald Trump's speech to the Polish National Alliance in Chicago on Wednesday (his remarks start at about the 24:50 mark).
In his public remarks, Trump talked about the loyalty of his Polish American supporters and that, if elected, his administrator will be a "true friend" to Poland and the Polish American community.
"The Polish people are great people. These are great people … ," he said. "If I get elected, we take care of all of our people. All of our people. … I don't think frankly that people know the great sacrifices you've [Polish Americans] gone through."
Trump also said the United States needs to improve conditions to give businesses better opportunities to expand. That's why he plans to "massively" cut taxes for small businesses in an effort to spur job creation.
"We're going to have a job growth like you've never seen," Trump said concerning the economy landscape he'd create if he's elected. "I'm very good for jobs. In fact, I will be the greatest president for jobs that God ever created, that I can tell you. I am very strong on jobs and the economy."
