Donald Trump says first orders of business as president would be building up military, gutting Obamacare

BY ADAM EDELMAN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, August 3, 2015, 9:28 AM

With only three days to go before the first 2016 Republican debate, Donald Trump has finally begun revealing what his administration would focus on if he were elected.

Trump said Monday that the first items on his agenda would be increasing the U.S. military’s strength and getting rid of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

“Our country is a mess and there’s so many things that we could do,” Trump explained on Fox News Channel’s “Fox and Friends.”

“I want to build up the military so nobody messes with us,” Trump said when asked what he would do first, if elected. “I would bring it (military levels) back to where it was at the height because we’re in such trouble.”

“And I would absolutely repeal and replace Obamacare,” he added, before offering more thoughts on illegal immigration.
