Degwin "Trump" Zabi on the Earth Federation:

Folks, folks, the feds they're no good! More and more people are saying it. You've got these bourgeoisie elite living the life of luxury on earth while they ship out the poor to space, bad deal. Believe me, I've made hundreds, no, thousands of deals in my lifetime - and none as rough as this. So what do we do? We declare independence. That's right, that's right! We're the Principality Of Zeon now, bye bye Earth Federation, you were always a loser. And we have mobile suits, folks, the best mobile suits, the zaku and ace pilots like Char. Oh we love Char don't we? Where is he? [looks to the crowd] There he is! I love you so much, you're the best. Loyal guy folks. Loyal as they come, he'd never betray us.
