Donald Trump has vowed to deport every single one of the country's illegal immigrants and rescind any executive orders Barack Obama put in place to protect them.

'We're going to keep the families together, but they have to go,' Trump told NBC's Meet the Press in an interview that is set to air on Sunday morning.

Asked by host Chuck Todd about illegal immigrants who might have nowhere else to go, Trump said: 'We will work with them.

'They have to go ... we either have a country, or we don't have a country,' he added.

Trump, 69, also said in the interview he would need to rescind Obama's executive orders on immigration, including one that protects from deportation the children of parents who came to the country illegally.

The real estate mogul and television personality, who has rocketed to the top of opinion polls among the 17 Republican contenders, has aroused controversy with his provocative comments on illegal immigration, including describing some undocumented migrants from Mexico as criminals and rapists.

On Saturday he was mobbed at Iowa State Fair on Saturday afternoon as he staged a grandiose entrance in his $7million helicopter and launched an all-out war on his 2016 presidential rivals.

Shortly after 1pm, the GOP frontrunner arrived in his $7million Sikorsky S-76, landing in a parking lot near to the fairgrounds, which he had hired out so he could give free helicopter rides to children.

He then held a press event, during which he called Hillary Clinton the 'worst Secretary of State' in U.S. history, accused Jeb Bush of being a 'puppet to his donors' and asked: 'Who likes Obama?'

Donning one of his now-famous 'Make America Great Again!'™ caps, and surrounded by children, Trump declared 'nobody' would meet the high standards that he would set if he was president.

'Voters like me, they know I'm doing to do the job,' he said, adding that he would 'bring back jobs', 'take care of people', tackle illegal immigration and 'be better to women' - unlike other candidates.

Specifically targeting former Florida Governor Bush, the billionaire real-estate mogul said: 'Jeb Bush is a puppet to his donors. There's no question about it. He's got lobbyists... I know them.'

Trump admitted that he himself was once a 'puppet', saying: 'I was one of the greats.'

But he said that he was 'now on the different side'. 'I know how the system works better than anybody,' he told reporters. 'Believe me, nobody played the game better than I did.'

Trump's next target was Clinton, who was visiting the annual fair in Des Moines on Saturday.

He declared she was the 'single worst Secretary of State in the history of the country' during her time in office from 2009 to 2013. 'The world collapsed around us,' he said, gesturing with his hands.

'He's making a deal with Iran that is so bad and so dangerous and so incompetent and stupid that it will have grave consequences,' Trump said, adding that 'forceful action' was needed against Iran.

Trump told reporters that his simple aim was 'to make the country great' - but said that he needed to make America rich first. I want to 'make the country rich again, and then make it great,' he said.

And strikingly, he claimed that he has not made any mistakes in his presidential campaign so far.

'I don't think I've made any mistakes,' he said, noting that he is leading in every election poll.

Not so happy: Some Trump supporters who had turned up to the Butter Cow told reporters that they would no longer be voting for the billionaire after he failed to show up at the attraction - despite saying he would do so

He referenced his statements on illegal immigrants from Mexico, his questioning of whether Senator John McCain is a war hero, and his conversation with Fox's CEO over controversial remarks he made about host Megyn Kelly. But he said in each controversy, he felt he had made no mistakes.

'Has it worked out badly?' he asked reporters smugly, as supporters chanted his surname.

During the Saturday press conference, Trump also spoke about his strict approach toward illegal immigration, saying he was going to build a wall that 'nobody' would be able to illegally get through.

'Nobody's going through my wall,' he said as he stood in front of his 'Trump'-branded helicopter.

'It's going to be strong, it's going to be solid, it's going to be policed.'

The billionaire also said that President Barack Obama was disliked across the world - something that he would not be. 'Who likes Obama? I'm talking about worldwide,' he asked reporters.

Trump was later driven around the fair in a golf cart. Thousands of people were seen swarming around the cart, trying to exchange words with Trump, shake his hand and take selfies with him.

It appeared that the Republican frontrunner had at least three times more supporters following him than other presidential candidates at the event, including Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders.

However, not all fans were in the best of spirits. Trump failed to show up at the fair's Butter Cow - which he had previously said he would be visiting - leaving hundreds of people disappointed.

CBS reporter Kevin Barry noted that the Butter Cow had the 'biggest crowd' it had ever seen - but that some supporters told him they would no longer be voting for Trump following his no-show.

Earlier in the day, Trump had touched down at Des Moines International Airport in his private Boeing 757 jet, where he swapped the plane for his executive helicopter to fly to the fair.

The politician was told last month he could not set up his Sikorsky at the fair, so he hired a nearby parking lot instead. From there, he will give rides to children at his own risk and expense.

Indeed, as soon as he finished his press event on Saturday afternoon, Trump headed to the aircraft with some youngsters, who will be able to see what cornfields look like from 5,000 feet in the sky.

His young guests were able to sink into cream-colored Italian-leather seating, sip Trump-brand ice water and secure themselves with 18-karat gold-plated seat-belt buckles.

Trump's 52-foot executive chopper - which seats 12 people comfortably including the pilot - reportedly flew at an altitude of 2,400 feet and took three refueling stops as it headed from New York to Des Moines airport.

Rivals: Trump targeted Clinton (seen, left, in Iowa on Saturday), saying she was the 'single worst Secretary of State in the history of the country', and hit out at Bush (right, eating a pork chop at the fair on Friday)

On Saturday morning, Trump tweeted that he was en route to Des Moines in his Boeing 757 jet. He will then swap the plane for his helicopter to fly to the fair.

He told his 3.7million followers: 'In the plane heading to Iowa State Fair. Will be great fun. Hopefully giving helicopter rides to some of the kids.'

When Trump finally arrived at the fair via helicopter, his aircraft repeatedly flew in circles overhead - at precisely the same time as Clinton was walking through the fair, greeting her supporters.

The noise caused many people to look up.

But when a reporter asked Clinton if she had noticed Trump's helicopter, she said she had not.

The helicopter later soared over Sanders as he was speaking to his supporters.

During his speech, Sanders joked about his presidential opponent. 'Well, there's Donald Trump, what can we do?' he asked, causing his supporters to 'boo' Trump and chant 'Sanders'.

Sanders added:'I apologize, we left the helicopter at home. It's in the garage, forgot to bring it!'

Clinton, meanwhile, insisted in her speech that prospective voters - at least the ones coming to her campaign stops - don't care about her email scandal.

'We'll see how this all plays out, but it's not anything that people talk to me about around the country,' she told a mass of reporters huddled outside a barn at fair.

Continuing she said questions about her emails and server are 'never raised in my town halls'. 'It is never raised in my other meetings with people,' she told reporters.

Rather, Clinton said she believes attendees of her events are interested in learning about what she would do to boost the economy, lower the cost of college and student debt, ensure workplace equality for women, as well as persons with disabilities 'and so much more.'

'And that's what I talk about on the campaign trail,' she said.

The Iowa State Fair, which began on Thursday, will see millions of people coverage on the state fairgrounds over 11 days for livestock shows, country music, fried Oreos and carnival rides.

During his interview with DailyMail.com two weeks ago, Trump revealed this year's main attraction at the fair would be his Sikorsky, which appeared in the opening credits of Celebrity Apprentice.

'We're going to fly it out to Iowa and I'm going to have it there,' he said from his Manhattan office.

Trump initially referred to the state fair as 'The World's Fair.'

'I look forward to that. I went there once years ago,' he said. 'It was so great. So many people.'

And so many Republican primary voters. With children.

'I'm going to try giving kids lifts in the helicopter,' the billionaire said near the end of a half-hour interview that ranged in topics from high finance to Hillary Clinton's 'low class'.

En-route: On Saturday morning, Trump, who is the Republican frontrunner, tweeted his 3.7million followers: 'In the plane heading to Iowa State Fair. Will be great fun. Hopefully giving helicopter rides to some of the kids'

'You know, young kids. Yeah!,' he exclaimed, sounding like a kid who had just built his first pinewood derby car. 'If I can do it – if I'm allowed to do it!'

Trump also boasted that he has three helicopters.

'Did you know that?' he said. 'I have one at Turnberry, one at Doral, and one in New York City.'

The white-and-red Turnberry chopper took Trump to his golf course in Scotland on July 30, which was hosting the Women's British Open golf tourney that weekend.

It is his black-and-red New York chopper that has made the two-hop, 1,000-mile trip to Iowa.

Trump described how he would first take his 757 and then meet up with his crew in the Hawkeye State. 'I think you have to do two stops,' he said. 'You know, it's like a 10-hour flight to go out.'

Aside from the obvious media value of such a spectacle – 'It'll be magnificent,' Trump mused (the unlikeliest of Republican front-runners grinned broadly when he imagined the scene near Des Moines). 'We're asking approval,' he said, nearly hopping out of his chair. 'We're really doing it!'

He added: 'I would love to take some of the young kids – you know, put 10 kids into the helicopter and let 'em go up and down.'

Another rival: Senator Bernie Sanders appeared to be soaked in water as he walked through fairgrounds

Wisecrack: Sanders told crowds: 'Well, there's Donald Trump, what can we do?' His supporters then booed Trump , while Sanders added:'I apologize, we left the helicopter at home. It's in the garage, forgot to bring it'

Trumps New York chopper was outfitted and decorated by designer Eric Roth at a cost rumored to be $750,000 – after the purchase of the aircraft itself.

Roth also designed the interior of Trump's 757, using the same materials – including what pilot John Dunkin said in May was enough gold to plate the outside of a Greyhound bus.

The Donald said of the whole concept: 'It's cool. Isn't it cool?'

Following Trump's interview, the Iowa State Fair declared that the billionaire had not asked if he could set up his helicopter on fairgrounds - and would not be granted permission to do so.

'He is welcome to land his helicopter anywhere outside the grounds and take people on rides or whatever he would like to do,' state fair spokeswoman Mindy Williamson told the Des Moines Register, 'but that will not be happening on Iowa State Fair grounds.'

Trump's campaign also expressed concerns about the safety risk involved with taking off and landing the Sikorsky helicopter at an event that will likely be attended by millions of people.

However, Trump got his way in the end - and so did his young fans in Iowa.>

It's stunning. Donald Trump -- Saying the magic words we've expected the hear back on 9/12. Are we a nation of laws and borders or NOT??

The refreshing beauty of The Donald is the manner in which he cuts through all the usual parsing and euphemistic BS of politicians. The media seems especially unprepared and caught flat-footed by it. Chuck Todd -- who boasted to badger Trump until his questions were answered dared not risk a clock-cleaning.

We were all told unprecedented airport security and the Patriot Act was necessary to help prevent terror. In 15 years, NO legislation was proposed that prevents the illegal ENTRY and the army of at least 20 million strong from illegally intruding through our unguarded US border.

I'm fully expecting assaults of all kinds upon the head of Trump -- are any of you? Moreover -- does anyone else find it odd that there's been no immediate, widespread condemnation of Trump's clarity on the matter?

Which means we are unofficially currently living in a state of anarchy and chaos. While the President and Speaker of the House golf and laugh at the peasants.

If Trump becomes a martyr, the entire situation will become extremely volatile (which just may be the PTB syndicate's plan in any case.)

When some residents and even some government representatives can openly flout laws and aid and abet others in doing the same and to do so publicly without fear of prosecution, I'd say we're very close to something like that.
