This. I turned down 5 million by a big lobbyist. Not a bad person. A tough guy. Not a bad person. When he gives me 5, hes not doing that because he thinks i have beautiful hair. Its not that bad. And it is my hair. Is it my hair . It is. It is actually. People dont know that. I proved that in alabama. It was really hot. It was rainy. I took off my hat and everybody said it is really his hair. Its weird. I dont have to do that tonight. Sort of nice. So we would go over and the lobbyists would say, no, no, we gave you millions of dollars, mr. President. And you owe it to ford. You have the lobbyists. After about ten minutes hell say i cant really do that. They really helped me in my campaign. With me, theyre going to call me. I know all these guys. They never did anything because i dont twanlt money. I turned down so much money. I feel like such a stupid person. First time in my life i feel stupid. Guys are offering me millions. Im telling you. 5 million. I could turn it down now. Do you think im doing the right thing . How about if i take thought money and promise, i swear to you, that i wont do anything for these people. What about that . No . Thats what i thought. I feel so stupid. Thats the way it has to be. I think one of the things they like about me. Nobody will buy me. Nobody will buy me. All right. So after about ten minutes, bush goes out and he says, you can build your planned. It was so terrible that i even thought about doing that. You contributed money. Okay. Me, different. Ill call him up and say i have to go. I love mexico. I love the mexican people. I have thousands have mexican people that have worked for me over the years and even to this day. I love the hispanics. The spirit. I love them. But we have leaders that cant compete with their leaders. The leaders too smart. I would say to the head of ford, sorry. You will pay tax. Every car and every truck and every part that comes across that southern border, youre going to pay a 35 tax. Okay . Thats whats going to happen. And this is too easy. I dont need any of the killers. Im going to use them any way. This is like forget it. This is taking candy from that beautiful little baby. So easy. So what happens is theyre going to say, no, no, no, and theyre going to have people call me. I didnt take any money, i didnt take anything. I dont want their money. So theyll have people call me. And im going to say get out of here. If i know them, theyll be friends of mine, ill say im not interested. Lets say this process starts at 12 00 noon. The head of ford will call me and say mr. President , weve decided to build in the United States. That will happen. Okay . That will happen. If theyre really tough, theyll wait until the next day. I guarantee you by 5 00 the next day, theyre back. And thats great. Thats what we need. We need jobs. We cant keep giving out our jobs. College debt. I go all over and i see the vets are mistreated in this country so badly. Believe me. They did a poll. Im like the most popular person with the vets. I built the Vietnam Memorial in downtown manhattan. And the vets like me a lot. And they did a poll and people were shocked. Why would you be shocked . Im going to take care of the vets. College. College debt. It is out of control. I see students. By the way, you see whats happening with the college . You talk about like what theyre doing. The prices of these colleges. The way theyre rapidly raising. And students are borrowing money from different pple and from the government. Theon thing the government makes money on. College students. Its true. Theyre making a lot of money on college debt. And the big thing we need is jobs. And students come up to me and they say, im borrowed and i dont know how ill ever pay it off. This is somebody that is a junior or a senior in college. And it is almost like they have no home. To me, it is one of the saddest things ive seen in making the rounds. College students, college debt. Then i apply for jobs. One was from a very good college. Actually a college in iowa where i was, a great college. And they were saying, you know, i worked hard. I became a great student. I just became one of the top students in my college. And i cant get a job. Now they have the debt and they cant get jobs because china has our jobs and japan has our jobs and so many other places have our jobs. So they get out and there is no place to go and they dont blank to do. Were going to solve the problem. Were going to bring back the jobs from china and from japan. And were going to be fair. If you look at the deficit, the trade deficit that we have with china, it is astronomical. How will you balance the budget . How about like making some good deals with china and japan . Look at the trade deficits. I was in los angeles two weeks ago. I saw ships that were so big. Ive never seen anything like it. With cars from japan. Theyre pouring off. We sell them, actually, you sell them some beef, right . This is one of the beneficiaries. If you ever look at the difference, it is so crazy. We send wheat. They send cars. Thats all going to change. And were going to have great whips with these people. Great relationships with these people. Every country in the world thinks the United States is represent by stupid people, and theyre right. No, theyre wrong. Very stupid people. Every country in the world, everybody makes money. And here we have deals that are all bad. And everybody hates us. I just came in. Im watching on television. That were in a very bad place with russia. Were working on the ukraine but why isnt europe leading that whole charge . Why are we always leading . Were working on the ukraine. I think thats terrible. Weve got a lot of problems. Were sending an f22, brand new, gorgeous. And we have fighters, our best military people are going over there. And were worried about the ukraine. I think ukraine is great. I think we should worry about the ukraine. Germany is over there. Germany is far richer than. We germany has made a fortune. We protect germany for no money. We protect south korea for no money. So germany is over there. Theyre not worried about it. But obama is talking about the ukraine. Oh, let these donpey people tak care of us. Now in north korea, you have a situation where hes raring his head again. I just were had 4,000 sets. Theyre all made in south korea. They dont make them in iowa. I wish. Does anyone make Television Sets . They dont make them in iowa. They dont make them anywhere in this country. I ordered 4,000. Sam sung, lg, all of them. Right . Theyre all from south korea. Sowny from japan. Their sets arent as good anymore but thats okay. Theyre good sets. They make a fortune. Look at the deficit that we have that south korea. I love all these countries. But why is it that we protect them . So this guy raises his head. Nuclear this, im going to wipe them out. We immediately send, we have 28,000 troops over there. Which is nothing compared to the million they have in north korea. A big army. Okay. They dont pay us anything. What are we doing . Do you know what . Somebody said thats not nice. Youre asking them to pay. Were watching the ukraine, south korea, germany, were watching japan. We protect japan. We have a treaty with japan. If japan gets attacked, we have to immediately go to their aid. Okay . If we get attacked, japan doesnt have to help us. Thats a fair deal. Thats the kind of deals we make. They have nothing. Dont worry about it. If they get attacks, we have to go to japan. Did you ever fly thats a long flight. So we need smart people. And we can straighten this country out. We can make this country so we can make it better than ever. We can make it better than ever. I love saudi arabia. The people are very nice to me. They buy my apartments. Its true. Theyll pay me anything. They have nothing but money. Nothing but money. I have a beautiful plane. All of a sudden it doesnt look so good when i look at their planes. Im jealous. Its terrible. But saudi arabia, they make a billion dollars a day. In all fairness, that was before the oil went down. Lets say it is a half a billion. You make a half billion a day. We protect them. We get nothing. If you think in yemen those folks are after yemen, you ought to leave the room right now. Theyre not very smart. Yemen. Did you ever see the border . It never ends. It is a strapt line. It never ends. Do you know whats on the other side . Theyre looking for the oil. Im the one, the most militaristic person. I would build a military so strong, so powerful, nobody would ever use it. Nobody would ever we would never have to use it. I would have the best everything. We have a military where we give to the allies. Our allies. We give it to the wrong allies. You know that. We dont give to the kurds. One bullet shot in the air. 2,300 humvees. One day they abandoned 2,300. You mean 23. You mean three. You mean two. You cant leave 2,300. They abandoned 2,300 armor plated, the best in the world humvees, 2,300. Because one shot was fired in the air. These are the people were helping. These are the people were helping. Now the enemy has the humvees armor plated. And our wounded warriors, the greatest people in the country. The greatest. And our soldiers arent protected and the enemy is because they have these great vehicles that they took. Thats just the humvees. They have the best equipment. So we have to get smarted. And we have to know what were doing. And i would build, im telling you. I am so into it. In 2000 and ann coulter knows this. In 2004, as much as i am into the military, which i love and almost. Im a huge fan of general patton and Douglas Macarthur. He has the highest marks. I believe in marks and students and education. I think it is great. General Douglas Macarthur to this day has the highest numbers at west point. That means something. And we have to do something and we have to do it fast. We have to get the generals. I wont use his name. But hes leaving. They said to us about isis, what do you think about isis . Can we beat them . Oh, i dont know. I dont know. Its going to be very hard to beat isis. I said can you imagine George Patton saying, oh, it would be hard . He would have them knocked out in three days and say where do i go from here . Where . Where . General Douglas Mac Arthur getting out with his corn cob park looking out over the land that he just took. Can you imagine . They wouldnt go on television. Theyre too busy fighting. We dont have winners in this country. Were going to turn it around. Speaking of winners, this is so important. We know about trade. Weve covered it. It is hourndous. Were going to make great trades, were going to be great, everyone is going to love us, okay . Theyre going to love us. In business week magazine, again, they had a story a while ago. The ten things the chinese most want. Who is tougher on them . One of the ten things was anything trump. Apartments, anything. Anything trump. How could that be possible . Maybe they respect me. Or maybe they respect us. But anything trump. Okay. Were going to be respected. We shouldnt to go to iraq. We. Did we made a mistake. We should have kept the oil. You wonderful have isis. People say thats such a harsh statement. He said take oyl . Who has the oil . The Iraqi Government is totally corrupt. Isis is, just formed out of iraq. So we shouldnt have gone in. The way obama got out was a total catastrophe. A total catastrophe. And i said, reuters, 2004, july. I said dont go in. If you do that in iraq, im one that likes to be, like i love the strength of military. You have to use it in the right location. If you do that, youre going to allow iran to decapitate. They would go ten feet, ten feet, ten feet, then rest. This goes on for decades. They go ten, ten. So we decapitate one of them. Iran is now meeting as we speak, meeting with iraq to take over the country. Do you know who is getting most of the oil . The stuff that isis doesnt have . China. Do you know that china is getting so much oil. Do you know what we get . Nothing. Thousands of lives. Wounded warriors who i love all over. 2 trill. We have nothing. In afghanistan, which a lot of people dont know not. Rich in minerals. Were fighting in afghanistan and they have amazing ridges and mountains. On the other side of the mountain, they have massive excavation equipment from china. Theyre taking out all the minerals as we fight. We need people that are smart. We have people that dont get it. Look at the deal we have with iran. Look at this deal. It is going to, in my opinion, lead to an arm race the likes of which there has never been. Countries will line up for nukes. Youll have perhaps nuclear proliferation. You will see things take place that you have never seen in a short period of time it was. Determines after months. Did you ever see a deal take so long . The deal has been going on forever. They had our prisoners. We never asked for our prisoners. How about that . Having a deal is good. We should have doubled and tripled up the sanctions. We should have done it so easily. Instead we have kerry in a bicycle race. Hes 73 years old. 73 years old and i said it the last time i spoke. I swear i will never enter a bicycle race if im president. I swear. I wear hes in a bicycle race. He falls and breaks his leg. This is our chief negotiator. Theyre looking at him. I watched on charlie rose. I watched the chief negotiator being interviewed by charlie. I tweeted at real donald trump. I tweeted. This guy is too smart for kerry. I was right. So we didnt get the prisoners. Do you know what the excuse was . We didnt ask for them. We didnt want to make the deal too complicated. Theyre fighting us in yemen. We didnt ask anything about yemen. Like dont fight us. We have a 24day wait period. So if we think theyre doing nuclear, we have to wait 24 days. Thats not the worst part. Is worst part, when does the clock start ticking. We could build and shoot. By that time we still wouldnt be in there checking. I can see them sweeping the floor and painting it battle shipment gray. When i was with my father, i would paint it battleship gray. I can see them doing it. So what were doing is crazy. So you have that. And then beauty of all and you heard it two days ago. After years. We just found out that theyre going to do in the most important section, theyre going to do their own inspections. Did you hear that . Where have you been . Look at these guys. Theyre smart guys. Three days ago i heard it. Nobody knew. They are going to selfinspect. It is so unbelievable. You just cant even talk about it. And were going to give them 150 billion plus. And even if the deal isnt approved, they get that. They get regardless. When i do a deal, when i buy something, i pay them when i guy product. Whatever it is. I pay them. I put up a deposit and i pay them when it closes. Were paying them even if the deal doesnt happen. Ive never heard of this before. I dont know who came one this idea. It must have been kerry. It must have been, i dont think the iranians. Persians are great negotiators. Natural great negotiators. I dont believe they would have thought of this because it is so cdc. Its true. They wouldnt have said, lets do this. It is so far out. They get 150 plus, plus, even if the deal is voted down and the deal doesnt happen. Which it will probably happen. We have a lot of weak people that will approve that deal just like they approved obamacare. You elected people who would knock oupt obamacare. Something happened. I promise it is not going to happen to me. Something happens in washington. They get elected. Theyre all end thesed. Were going to end obamacare. Were going to end this horrible thing with the 5 billion website that doesnt work to this day, by the way. 5 billion. I have about 40 wents that cost me 3 and they work. So were going to end obamacare. You probably elected some of them of they go to washington. There is something about washington. They look at the beautiful buildings, the beautiful halls. All of a sudden, they become impotent. Is that an appropriate word . I think so. It doesnt work. Put those two together. Something happens to them. All of a sudden theyre not fighters. I think theyre so impressed. They show their wives. Look where im working. Of course i have to vote for obamacare. Isnt it wonderful . They got elected to knock it out. So something happens when people get elected and go to washington. The beauty of washington. Im building as you know, the Old Post Office. Can you imagine . President obama is in charge of government services. Who are tremendous people. Thats because they chose me. If they didnt choose me, i probably wonderful say that. And were doing one of the greatest hotels. I think it will be one of the greatest hotels in the world. Everybody wanted it. One of the most sought after pieces of property between congress and the white house. Best location. For the real estate people. Any time you get a post office, its good. The post office was there first. I have the Old Post Office in washington, d. C. It is being converted to trump international. Just think of that. I got it from the obama administration. To this day, i say, are you sure we got that . But were doing a great job. Heres the thing. Think of this. Compare this to government. Were way ahead of schedule. And were under budget. Did you ever hear that before . You dont hear that. So we have a great country. We have a country with tremendous potential. The people are here. We have great people. We have problems all over the place but theyre problem thats can be solved. We have to incentivize people. We have to give people spirit. When president obama was elected, i really thought he would be a unifier. You look at baltimore, you look at ferguson, you look at chicago, st. Louis the other night. You look at so many places. You look at whats happening with the africanamerican youth. It has never been in worse shape. Never. You look at whats happening with so many other aspects of our country. Theres a racial divide, a divide, period. Theres hatred all over the country. Ive never seen it like this. We have to unify the country. We have to spiritize the country. We have to create jobs. We have to do a tremendous amount of work. But it can be done quickly. I will say this. If the right person is not elected, come next year, i dont know if it can be brought back again no matter how capable the person is. It will be too far down the line. So just in closing, and normally i would do questions. But this has been such a good time and everyone has heard such a brilliant speech. I was with elton john. Anybody like elton john . A lot of times, hell do this last song. It is so great. So unbelievable. The place is standing and roaring and going incredible. And then theyll be like, theyll come back for like three more, right . And the three are not as good as the last one. Lets get out of here. And i like to leave on a high note. I have thank you. I love you too. Thank you. But i have a statement. I say it all the time. I told the story once before. The American Dream is dead. Im going to make it bigger and better and stronger. Right . [ applause ] good. I got home one night. My wife said t
