I’m Not A Politician. My Only Special Interest Is Americans: Trump  

Valley Forge: Vowing to repeal catastrophic Obamacare and bringing manufacturing jobs back to America under his presidency, Republican nominee Donald Trump has said he is not a politician and is fighting the election to pay back the country that has been so good to me.

Addressing a campaign event here in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania just a week before the elections that focused on the issue of healthcare, Trump described Obamacare as a catastrophe which if not repealed would destroy US healthcare. He vowed that as President he will ask Congress to hold a special session in order to repeal President Barack Obama's ambitious healthcare programme.

Trump, who was joined by his running mate Mike Pence and former presidential contender Ben Carson, said it is time for a new leadership. The controversial billionaire said he is running for the President's post to give back to the country.

Trump slammed his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for wanting to expand Obamacare and make it even more expensive.

The crowd shouted Trump, Trump and Make America Great Again.

He also vowed to bring manufacturing jobs back to the country, saying states like Pennsylvania lost almost 40 per cent of manufacturing jobs since NAFTA, a deal signed by former president Bill Clinton and supported by his wife Hillary, came into place.
