And so they make a deal. And, and that's what I talk about. That's what I mean when I say prosecutorial abuse. Did anyone ever approach you and try to get you to make a deal, drop out of the race, make a deal here, we'll leave you alone." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, they didn't, but I believe they would if I would have offered that up. I don't think, I think they know me well enough. I think I really do. But, oh, if I didn't run as an example, I would have never had any of these lawsuits. How about I get prosecuted on a person that I have no idea who she is? I have no idea who she is. I have to pay $91 million. And that judge was just as bad, just as corrupt. A corrupt judge. I have to pay $91 million to a woman. I have no idea who she is. She wrote a book and she made a statement in the book. And you know, that case, that case is a disaster. And then you. But I have no idea who she is. And they said I did things. These people are corrupt and in some cases incompetent. But it's such an honor to have somebody like you see it and see it so clearly. And I knew that. I mean, I remember that years ago you were helping Oprah out, that she was sued and it was having a big impact on her." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Mad cow." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And I thought it was great. And, you know, Oprah used to really like me. She was here many times. She loved my key lime pie. We have key lime pie. And she loved a lot of things about Mar a Lago and Roger King. As you know, we were here for." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "The funeral for Roger, correct." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Long time ago. It's the only funeral we've ever had at Mar a lago. I said, maybe we can do a new business here. We'll do operators, a funeral parlor. But it was one of the most beautiful funerals in the ballroom behind us. And he was a great guy, and Oprah's terrific. But once I announced I was running and I said, we have to have strong borders. We have to have this, we have to have that. We've sort of lost contact, as the expression goes. But I remember when you were very much involved in helping Oprah." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Well, that's what I'm saying. It's been time and time again. And that was another black letter long that you just don't do. The judge tells you, okay, you can testify, but I'm going to allow them to ask you about this person that you now owe $91 million. I'm going to allow them to ask you about this other case. I'm going to allow them to ask you about ten contempt citations that I've given you. I'm going to allow them to ask about all that stuff. What does any of that have to do with the matters that have, and the answer is zero. That gets into the jury box. If you take the witness stand again, that is black letter law. You can't let in unrelated things that have more prejudicial impact than probative nature. That just doesn't happen. But it happened one, two, three things right in a row. And that gets into the judgment." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "If you testify, they'll be able to ask you about all these different things. And by the way, if you say one thing, that's, if you say, it was a beautiful day, as I remember it, and it was raining out, we're going to indict you for perjury." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, yeah." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And I'll tell you what. I have a lot of lawyers that are friends and this and that. I had probably 25 guys over the course of a couple of months. Say, whatever you do, don't testify because you'll say something that's a little bit off, and you will be indicted for lying, for perjury. These are evil people. These are sick, evil people." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "I would have thrown myself in front of your car to keep you from testifying." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, I know. I wanted to so badly. And by the way, I would have loved to have testified about those things because it was so corrupt and so horrible. But he wouldn't have allowed me to answer the questions properly. And so I would have loved to have testified. I wanted to. I'm telling you, they had to hold me back. But every lawyer that came to, they'd always start to say, by the way, I'm afraid of yours. Don't testify. And they saw what he was doing. They can ask you about, like, anything. They can do nothing to do with his case, all of these outside things. And it was really an unfair trial. There's a very brilliant judge in Florida that's holding the government. It looks like. I mean, she's looking into what happened because, you know, they raided Mar a Lago and they took stuff out by the satchel. I mean, they took bags and bags of stuff. And I said, what are they taking? Are they saying what they're taking? Because they can add things. They can add the nuclear codes in there. They say, hey, he had the nuclear codes. This was all stuff that, under the presidential Records act, I'm allowed to do. By the way, Biden was totally exonerated. Now, I'm not sure I want that kind of an exoneration. They basically said he's incompetent to stand trial, but he could be president. Think of that. He's not. He's not sharp enough. Got no memory, got no this, got no that he's incompetent. Basically, they're saying he can't stand trial due to incompetence, but he can run for president. What's going on? What are we missing here?" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, it makes everybody uncomfortable about that state of affairs. And what I was concerned about with everything that happened in this New York trial is one of the big myths, is that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. That is the law. But I can tell you, after years and years and years of trial, the truth is that the jury sits there and says, hmm, I'm looking at all this. And if we're not down here for the reason they say we're down here, somebody needs to give me an alternative explanation of why we are down here. So if we're not down here because of what other prosecutors are telling us, then what's the alternative story? What's the alternative explanation? And when you get muzzled in the way that this judge muzzled this case, they're sitting there saying, what's the rest of the story, you're not allowed to testify because you're in jeopardy if you do. They let all of this other stuff in. It should never get into the jury box. And so the scales get tipped, and it gets very, very difficult to get even one juror because there's not an alternative story that if you could tell without being in peril, if you can tell without being intimidated, it would be a very different situation. The burden legally is on the prosecution." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "But logically guilty of until proven innocent." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That's exactly the truth." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I can tell you that's the truth with me." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "That's how it plays out. And I did a focus group about this when I did a show on this on Merritt street, and I had 250 people in, did a focus group, and I said, and overwhelmingly, the people were in your favor. But I found those that had questions, and I said, what is your question? They said, where there's smoke, there's fire. I didn't hear the other part of it." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm sitting here and you've asked me indirectly a couple of questions. They're so simple to answer. I'd love to hear. And yet, if I do, this guy's going to. He's willing to throw you in jail. Okay? This is an appointed judge, acting. He's an acting judge, appointed. And he's willing to throw you. And he's so conflicted. It's so sad. But, you know, you do things for your country. And I view it. I think if my country weren't involved, because people say the two questions, I get these questions from very tough guys like you, the biggest guys on Wall street, the people that you read about, you know, but they're tough. They're tough men and women. But I have the question asked often is number one. Number one question I get, how do you stand it? How do you do it? How do you get up in the morning and put your clothing on and go to work? I do get that because people don't envy it. And the other one I get is, will they do it again? Meaning, will they cheat? Will they do it again? Will it happen again?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Well, I have a different question than that. How question. My question is why? I understand how. I know you got a thick skin. You're not one of those people that's afflicted with the need to be loved by strangers. I get that." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I think that's true." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "My question is not, how do you do it? My question is, why do you do it? Why do you? Let's face it. I mean, you're a billionaire. You got a great family. You're a very dedicated father. People may not see this in you a lot because you keep that kind of private. But my question to you is, why do you subject yourself to this?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "So there's a movement in this country, it's called Maga, and Biden's always fighting it. We will stop Maga. Maga is make America great again. And we were doing, you know, I had an administration that was a tremendous success, even enemies. I mean, we had the greatest economy in history. We had the best job numbers in history. That's why I'm doing so well with the black and hispanic vote. They had the best job numbers they've ever had. We were doing things that were incredible. And I was going through Russia, Russia, Russia, hoax. I was going through the impeachment stuff, you know, all of that. And, you know, in one way I jokingly said, somebody said, can you imagine what he could have done? Because I had one of the most successful presidencies, and yet I was constantly fighting off the radical left lunatics. They are deranged. They are. It's like a derangement syndrome. But I actually said, you know, maybe in some ways I did better because I showed something. But maybe if I had too much time on my hands, it would have gone too far and the administration wouldn't have been as successful as it was. When you look at our job numbers, I rebuilt the military. Largest tax cuts ever. Largest tax cuts bigger than the Reagan." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Tax cuts, but higher." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The largest regulation cuts ever." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I'm staying with my why? Question. Because look at this. Everybody calls it inflation, but affordability. When we talk about gasoline. Under your administration, average 257 a gallon. Under Biden, 361 40% more under your administration. Homes average $320,000. Under the Biden administration, 31% more. $420,000 under your administration. Interest rates 3.8. Average. Under the Biden administration, 39% more at 5.3%. Okay, now let's look at the border. Under you average 1.7 million border crossings. Their official number is 6.4. That's from Homeland Security. It's actually about 13 million because I know, I've been to the border. I've talked to the border guards down there, Brandon Judd. I've talked to Jason Jones. I've talked to the people that actually know the numbers. They say it's between ten and 13 million. So my point is, when you look at the actual numbers, plus the things you just talked about, lower taxes, higher tax revenue, you look at that and you would say, my God, he should be running unopposed." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I mean, why these numbers just, I appreciate it, but, and these numbers are really, I don't know who. Many were very conservative. As an example, I had gasoline down to $1.87, not 257. It's now almost at $4. It's going to be at $5 very shortly. It's going way up." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "I took very conservative numbers so people couldn't argue." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well, interest rates. I was at 2.6%. They have 3.8, and now they're at 9%, 10%, and you can't get money. So, you know, we did a great job. We did a great job." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Okay, so here's the question. Most people look at this from the standpoint of they ask themselves the question, is my life better under this administration, or is it better under this administration? My quality of life, my ability to pay for my children's lunches, tennis shoes, getting them to the dentist, getting all of the different things that go to quality of life. And when we look at that, it's not even a close call. So why are people so energized against President Donald J. Trump?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I think it's, to a certain extent, it's habit, not necessarily against me. I think Democrats vote out of habit. I'll give you an example. I was the best president for Israel ever. Golan Heights. All of the things I did for Israel, and yet I get less than 50% of the votes. It's shocking to me. And Biden's a disaster, and Obama was a disaster for Israel with the Iran nuclear deal that he approved, you know, which was basically a path toward nuclear weapons. And I say, why? And I say it's habit. They're used to voting for Democrats. Black people are used to voting for Democrats, but they're coming off it. They're smart. They're seeing what's happened. They're seeing criminal justice reform. They're seeing the black colleges and universities. I got it funded. They're seeing all of the things that I've done. Nobody could do what I did. I say that, and people sometimes smile, but it's actually true. I'm the best president for black people since Abraham Lincoln. And people, black people are seeing that. And we have numbers now that as a Republican, I don't think anybody's ever had. I hope they come out and vote for me." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "I was just in Jerusalem and interviewed Prime Minister Netanyahu. He said that the Abraham accords, which you achieved, he said he didn't have the words to describe what it presented for Israel in terms of security, in terms of the ability to bring about peace and stability to that region." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's very nice, by the way. Did you say that? And by the way, great for the arab community also. It was great for both. And they're working so well. The only problem is we had four countries signed, real leaders. I would have had everybody signed up. I would have had Iran signed up. People laugh when I say that Iran was broke. I said, anybody buys from Iran, you cant do business with the US. Iran was broke. They were down to almost no money. They had no money to fund Hamas or Hezbollah. They had no money. They were broke. They would have made a deal within a week after the election. That result was very dangerous for our country. We did great things. And I think that's what people see. People want to go back to where we were." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "You had high level appointee positions that you didn't fill and thousands more mid level positions that you didn't fill and generated over $4 trillion in tax revenue for the first time ever. With tax cuts, lower tax rates, higher." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Tax revenues brought business into the country." }, { "role": "user", "content": "So why are people so energized against you? Are you getting out messaged?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I think no, I really believe it's 100 years. As an example with African Americans. For 100 years, the Democrats have run the cities. 100 years. I used to say 50. They said, you're wrong. I said, you have to be kidding. It's 100 years. It's a habit. They get used to it. But they're learning that habit's being broken in a lot of different ways. I also think you have a fake news that doesn't report it the way they should be reporting it. Look, the news has been proven to be totally fake, and it's 95% on the other side. That's the thing I don't understand. Why would they. Why do people want open borders where millions of people have come into our country and you see what's happening to the crime rate. You know, a stat came out the other day that's scary. In Venezuela, Caracas, different cities, they've moved many of these criminals out into the United States. And now, happily, in a location near you, right near your house." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Venezuela, the Congo, they're emptying their prisons." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The Congo, we have many, many people coming out of the prisons of the Congo. But the prison populations are way down all over the world. Nobody wants to talk about it. Prison population and mental institutions, something you deal with a lot. You know more about a mental institution than I do. That's your world. That's what you do better than anybody. As far as I'm concerned, you know, the population of mental institutions is way down because they've moved a lot of the most seriously ill people into our country. And Venezuela just announced that they're 72% down in crime from two years ago. Think of that, because they moved their, I mean, you don't have to be a genius to realize they move their prisoners out, but they move their gangs. All the gang members are now in the United States, happily living in the United States. The United States of America has become a dumping ground because of a very mentally deficient president. And it's not him. I don't believe it's him. I do think he knows what's going on. I think he's sort of an evil guy, but hes not at the top of his game. And he never was very good at it. If you look at his foreign policy for years and years and years, you look at how bad he was on the crime bill in the 1990s, how hes been bad at everything. And he got lucky. Look, he ran three or four times when he would be, lets say, in normal shape, in good shape. He failed. He got it when he shouldnt be here. He shouldnt be here. And hes dealing with President Xi, who I know very well, and he's dealing with Putin, who I know very well. And he's dealing with all of these leaders of these countries that doesn't, they don't like the United States. They don't like what it represents. And they are at the top of their game. They are vicious. They love their country or they want success. You know, you define it any way you want. We've become a failing nation. We're a nation that's in tremendous trouble. We have months ago, you know, where we have somebody negotiating for us and dealing for us who is not up to par. He's not, and I'm not even saying now, I think 25 years ago, he wasn't up to par. But he's dealing with President Xi of China. He's dealing with President Putin of Russia. He's dealing with Kim Jong un of North Korea. He's dealing with very tough people that really are at the top of their game. I know them all. I know many more than that. Our countries in tremendous danger of World War III, our countries. You look at what's going on with Ukraine now. You see what's happening, where they're talking about nuclear, they're bringing out the n word, as I say, and they're talking about nuclear weapons, and they're talking about things that were never in my White House. Nobody ever uttered the word nuclear. Nuclear is a very bad word because of the power of weaponry. And we have a man that should not be dealing, and we're going to end up in a nuclear war. We're going to end up in World War III with this guy. And if he. The five months is a long time. We have five months to go before the election. Now it's even a little bit less. It's getting to be, it's getting to be very close. Remember, you have early voting in September 22. You know, Pennsylvania goes September 22. So it's really less, quite a bit less. But I really believe it's a very dangerous time because I think they move. They're making moves. They love him as our president. They don't respect him. They think he's weak and incompetent. Now, one thing I'll say, he's surrounded by a lot of fascists and communists, but a lot of fascists. And they're young and they're smart, and that's who's running our country." } ]

Utah test training range, the largest supersonic authorized restricted airspace in the United States. Whiteman Air Force base. B two. Spirit stealth bomber base, missile, drone operations. MQ nine, Reaper, global strike command three, Air Force, entire bomber force, nuclear command, control. And communications. Fort Liberty, airborne special operations forces, rapid deployment. We've allowed them to come in and buy up agricultural land, wind farms. No wind, no blades on some of the towers. But they're surrounding our military bases. We've allowed that to take place.

There seems to be a lot of activity around those nuclear sites, to put it mildly. But the thing when you mentioned Fort Liberty, I remember that battle as soon as I got out. They changed it.

What they do is they take today's cultural standards and apply it to people's conduct 100 years ago as though 100 years ago they were supposed to predict what the standards were going to be 100 years in the future and behave the way things were going to be 100 years in the future. You can't do that. It's like you drive through a neighborhood when the speed limit is 20. Then they come and change it to ten and say, I'm going to give you a retroactive ticket. And that's what they're doing. They're holding these people to the standards of today's mores and folkways based on how they behaved back in that time. It's called presentism. And so they say, oh, no, we've got to take these statues down. We've got to change these names because they were behaving in ways that we wouldn't accept today. Well, but it was accepted back then. I'm not saying it's our brightest hour. I'm not saying it's our most shining time. But these people also did great things along with things that we may not be proud of today.

I will get it done. As president elect, you have great power. I was able to do great deals from the time I got elected in 2016. I was able to do great deals from the time I got elected to the time I got to office in that little. Because you have great power there. You need the power of the presidency to do it. I'm going to get the war in Ukraine. If it's not done by that time now, it looks like it's getting worse. They're taking weapons now where they can shoot deep into Russia. Where is this going? Here's the problem with Ukraine, which is right next to, you know, we have an ocean in between. They're in for a tiny fraction of what we're in for, and I know them very well because I did it with NATO. I said, you people are delinquent. We're paying almost the entire cost of NATO. So they excuse the word. They screw us on trade, and then on top of that, we're supposed to defend them. And they said, it doesn't work that way. But I didn't want to do that. On my first, I let them know. My first, when I came back, I didn't want to do it. I was in office for, like, two weeks. But I said, you're not paying your way. And I went back the second time, and I said, you have to pay. Hundreds of billions of dollars was paid. They asked me one question. Will you defend us against Russia if we haven't paid? I said, absolutely. Not as soon as I said that. Oh, and I took a lot of heat from the fake news. The fake news went crazy when I said that because I said I won't defend them. Now you have the same thing. They paid hundreds of billions of dollars quickly, and that's where it got all the money to do what they're doing now. But remember this. So we are, we're probably in for $250 billion. You know, they just got 62 billion. And now I heard today that they need more money. It's going to never end. Now, you have some people that say it's not a war that should have ever been started. It would have never started if I was president. Putin would have never done it. First of all, energy went up so much that he makes money on it. You know, when you get up to $100 a barrel, I had it at $40 a barrel, Phil. It's so different. But it would have never happened. But now it has happened. You know, sometimes, I hate to say almost that it would never have happened and Israel would have never happened. The attack on October 7 would have never happened because Iran was broke. And Iran wasn't funding Hamas and they weren't funding any of the terrorists. Hezbollah, all of them. There's like 28 of them. They had no money. They were broke. I said to China, if you buy oil from Iran, you can't do business in the United States. They didn't want to take any chance of that. Everybody stopped. And we had, you know, we had no terrorist attacks. And I never wanted to talk about it when I was president because I didn't want to jinx it. I wanted to get up and say, we have had no terrorist. Think of it. During my four years, we had no terrorist attacks. This nation is in such danger right now with the people that you're just talking about coming in. And it was interesting because I saw 29,000 chinese people and they showed it on camera. They look very strong. They all have their propane stoves. They all have cell phones. They look like military people." } ]

You know a lot of common sense to this stuff. It's not. We talked about it before, conservative, liberal, I don't care. It's common sense. We need borders. We need low taxes. We need good education. I rebuilt the entire military. The entire military was rebuilt. I built a wall that was so great, and I got Mexico to give us 28,000 soldiers while I was building the wall to keep people out. We didn't have what you have today. We had the lowest day the week that I left office, and it was a sad day for this country. The week that I left office. That's when we had our lowest illegal flow of immigrants coming into our country. And all Biden had to do was leave it in place. I had a thing called remain in Mexico. They had a remain in Mexico. How good is that? They had catch and release in Mexico. It was so stupidly run. And all Biden had to do. When he goes to the beach, you know, he's always in the beach, right? He thinks it looks good in the bathing suit. Some adviser said, go to the beach. You look great, Joe. And he can't even lift the chair, which weighs about 6oz. You know, those chairs that you can lift, they're meant for children and old people to lift. So Joe is in the sand and he's in the beach, and he's totally decimating everything that we built. We built the strongest border in the history of our country, and we're going to do it again. Just one little thing. In 2016, I got elected maybe because of the border, but that border was a fraction. It was nothing compared to what the border is today. And I fixed it. And, you know, in 2020, when I ran, I couldn't even talk about, nobody wanted to hear about the border because I fixed it. I'll fix it again. But the border today is many, many times worse than it was in 2016." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Well, I've been to the border, and they just straight up say we're using tax dollars to send some of these children that are coming across the border into known prostitution rings, into sweatshops because we don't have the ability to check.

If you put a great person at the head of a big agency, lots of good things happen in my business. If I have a good super in real estate superintendent running one of my buildings, and if I move them to another building, sometimes you move them to another building because, but then that building, you need good people. And we had a lot of great people. I had some that I was very disappointed in. I was some that I was very, very disappointed in. But the one thing is that I was in Washington 17 times in my entire life. I never stayed over. That was reported by the news. I was very rarely there. I wasn't a Washington. I was a New York person. I was a builder in New York, a real estate guy. I had a wonderful company. Everything was going good. It would have been so easy just to keep doing that. It was probably one of the, one of the most successful days of my life was the day before I announced I was running for president. Once you do this, the whole world changes. I even lost Oprah. Okay. Oprah liked me so much. And, you know, I haven't spoken to her, I think, since, but she's a good person. Please give her my regards. But, you know, you do things and my attitude is you have to do what's right. If I didn't think that I won the election by a lot, I would have never run. And I don't think I've ever said this on air before. Maybe I have. But losing the election wouldn't have been that, you know, somebody wins, somebody loses, you go on with your life. But when you lose an election that you know, you won by millions of votes, millions of votes. If I didn't think I won the election, I would have never done it a second because I would have lost. In other words, I would have lost. I ran because I won the election. And I know that that's what the people want. They want what you and I are talking about right now. They want strong borders and they want good education. They want all these things that we talked about, and we're going to get it to them. We're going to get it fast. Probably the hardest problem, the biggest problem is nuclear and the weaponry, and we have to keep out of wars and all that. But the hardest problem for our country is the millions and millions of people that have been brought into this country that have been dropped here. Many of them should not be here. They're really, really bad people from the jails, from the places. And you know what's going to happen? You'll take ten out and you'll have one where it's a woman with a couple of kids, and you're going to have the news say, oh, look at this. How horrible. How horrible.

I think if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to handle it so easily. When a judge who has conflicts like nobody's ever had wants to put me in jail, when he puts a gag order and says, if you talk about these things, we're going to put you in jail. I'm the republican candidate. I was president. I'm leading the Democrat by a lot, wants to put me in jail, I like not to think about it.

Phil, the one thing is, because you mentioned lots of groups, and you write about that, but I also have great support within the media. You know, there's a group of people in the media, you might be one of them. You're a very important force. The fact is, I've watched you so long, I just felt so confident when you called. I said, you know, otherwise, what do I have to subject myself to it for? Does it make sense? But I find it to be a very different and very interesting. It's a psychological interview that you're doing, too. You're sort of being my psychiatrist, and maybe I could use a psychiatrist. No, it's pretty cool. But I try not to think about. I try not to go into that. And very importantly, I have tremendous support. I have support from the people. You look at the polls and they agree with me. There's sort of a silent majority. You know, it's a term that's been used over the years, but it's a true term. I have the support of many more people than they have. If we call they the bad guys.

They're keeping me in this icebox, and they're taking away my voice. But you know one thing, that's you bring it up and you haven't asked me the question yet, and I'm sure you will. Although I know we've been doing this for quite a while, and it's an honor to do it. But the hardest part for me is probably my family, because it's very unfair to my family. I have a very good wife. She reads this crap. I have great kids. You know what amazed me? I gave up my salary. I didn't take salary. And it's 450,000, approximately $450,000 a year. You know, it's still money. It's a couple of million bucks. I didn't. I never had a story, a good story, saying I did. I'm not looking for a story. What surprised me is there was a couple of stories. Who else did it? Nobody. Everybody took. I figured maybe Kennedy. It's a pretty rich family. I figured the only one that may have done it was George Washington. You know, George Washington was a very wealthy landowner. And they said the only one that may have done it is George Washington. I figured Roosevelt, maybe FDR. You know, there were some pretty rich presidents. Every president took their salary. Bushes took their salary. I didn't take my salary. I gave it up. And every month I'd get a call from the fake news. Because, you know, you can't really give it up. You have to give it to an organization within government. You're not allowed to actually give it. So what happens? You get the check and then you give it to health and human services, or you give it to the Navy or you give it to the army or something. And every month they say, did he give it? Did he give it? And when you show them that you gave it, there was no story. It was just interesting to see. The whole system is rigged. I mean, it's just a nasty system. But the saddest is, I'll give you one quick example. I have a son, Don. He's a good kid, and he wants to help people. And they said he was involved with Russia. He knows less about Russia than that young person sitting right over there who I'm sure knows nothing about Russia. And it was Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff, dashiff. A bad guy. And he comes out of a so called intelligence meeting, and he goes to a microphone. And there's a lot of press gathered because this was during the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, total hoax. It had nothing to do. 5 million phone calls. I had. Not one phone call to Russia. It was a hoax. And it came out that way. And it's nice, but it took two and a half years. And by the way, it was very dangerous because at least Putin understood it was a hoax. You know, he used to say, what's he thought we were crazy. To be honest with you, he thought he was crazy. But, Don, so they say Adam Schiff comes out and says, donald Trump junior will go to jail because of what he's done with Russia. And it was Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton and some others in the DNC that they made up a story. Think of how bad you have to be. You make up a phony story about Russia, Russia, Russia, the Russia hugs. You have the dossier. You have the whole thing. It's all fake. They paid $12 million or something for the dossier. 12 million. They gave this guy Steele a fortune to do a fake story. It's called the fake dossier. Right? They go to my son, they know it's fake. It's not like they're trying to. They think it's real. They know it's a fake because they made it up. And they say, donald Trump, Jews, we'll go to jail. So I call up my son. I said, are you okay? Is there something I don't know? How bad do you have to be when you can say about a story that you made up that you know is fake, that my son is going to go to jail because of this story?" } ]

But he said the only one hungry, he said the only one that's going to straighten this out is Trump because he didn't use the word respect. He used the word they were afraid of him. I don't want to say that about these people, these other leaders. I don't want to say they were afraid. I'm not going to use that term, but let's use the word respect. They respected me. They respected me, and they respected our country. And they knew if they played games, I was going to hit the hell out of with tariffs and lots of other things. We have a lot of weapons, not just military weapons. I rebuilt our entire military, by the way. Our entire military was rebuilt. And this person that we have leading us, if you can call the word leading with quotes, he gave away $85 billion worth of brand new military equipment in Afghanistan. In my opinion, the lowest day in the history of our country. I think probably the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country was what happened the way we pulled out of Afghanistan. We left people behind. We had 13 soldiers who I met the parents. Theyre devastated, killed. Nobody ever talks about, you would talk about them. I put them right at the top, 38 soldiers who are no arms, no legs, faces, just wiped out. They're trying to live. Trying to live. Nobody ever talks about them. They talk about 13 dead, absolutely. But they don't talk about 38 soldiers that have been wiped out. And then hundreds of people were also killed. You know, hundreds of people with this madman set off a bomb. Should have never left them. They should have been in Bagram. We should have kept. Bagram is 1 hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. We gave it up. You know who's occupying Bagram right now? China. China. We gave the biggest air force base, one of the biggest runways, one of the most powerful runways, eight foot thick of concrete, built when the dollar was very big, okay? Years ago. We gave it to the Chinese. It should never happen, what we've done. I think that was the most embarrassing day. And I have to tell you, if that didn't happen, I don't know that Putin would have.

I got along with Zelensky, but it wouldn't have happened, and October 7 would have never happened, and inflation would have never happened. And the withdrawal, the kind of withdrawal we were getting out of Afghanistan with dignity and strength. But to get out the way, I think it was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country. And I actually think that the way Afghanistan worked, I think that when Putin looked at that, he said, wow, let's go in. And you know who else looked at it? President Xi of China. And he's looking. He is looking at Taiwan and he's drooling. He's drooling over Taiwan. And so something could happen there. We've lost a lot of respect. They're laughing at us all over the world. And that wasn't happening four years ago." } ]

You know, I ended the pipeline he built. It's called Nordstream two. Nobody ever heard of Nordstream two until I got involved. And it was the biggest project ever done in Russia. I mean, you know, this was a pipeline that was going to supply oil and gas to all over Europe, all over Europe, Germany in particular. And I said, what are you doing? Why are you doing this to Germany? I said, we're defending you under NATO, and you're paying billions of dollars a month to Russia. I mean, we're defending you, and you're giving the people. We're defending you from. We're giving you the defense, but you're giving them money at massive amounts. Probably the biggest project, you know, most important, one of the most important projects they've ever done. I ended it. It was dead. It was gone. And then this guy comes in and he approves it, but he kills Keystone, you know, the Keystone XL. So it's sad. But Putin said to me, that's the biggest thing. You ended it. You ended the pipeline. He said, they all say you and I are friendly, but I'd hate to see you as an enemy. But this was the biggest, you know, this was massive amounts of money." } ]

And I'm trying to tell people, no, it's a good thing. They've got. I would give you the exact number, but they gave a lot. Just under 2000 nuclear weapons. And we do also. And when you have nuclear weapons, and even if you don't have nuclear weapons, getting along is good. But be the tough one. Be the smart one. Get along is good. I tell the press all the time, no, the fact that I get along with Kim Jong un, North Korea, that's crazy. President Xi, that's crazy. It's all good stuff, getting along. But nobody ever took money out of China like me. I took hundreds of billions of dollars out in the form of tariffs and taxes. No other president took not ten cents. And, you know, China built their military because of the United States. The United States was giving them hundreds of billions of dollars a year in excess flow. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. But we took out hundreds of billions of dollars from China. And I still got along with President Xi until Covid. That was sort of. That was a breaking point. But no, but he was a guy that I respected, liked, he liked me and I liked him. That's a good thing, not a bad thing. You know, the press says, oh, isn't it? You say, yeah, he's a leader. He's a smart guy. They say, smart man, they say, oh, Trump said he was smart. That's. Yeah, he leads 1.4 billion people. He's. Yeah, it's a little bit on the smart side, but I got along with him. I got along with Kim Jong un. That would have been a nuclear war if Hillary Clinton had gotten in office, we would be in a. We would have been in a nuclear war with North Korea. He was ready for it. When I was with him, nobody else could meet him. All of a sudden, the dam broke and we started talking a little bit. We got together, as you know, twice. We got along very well, but we were in no danger from them, and we were in serious danger before I got there. You would, I'm telling you, you would have had a nuclear war if Hillary Clinton got in." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That's.

It's like when you're talking to people, when you're doing interviews with people, when you're fighting people, they're all different.

The funny thing is, I got along with the tough ones much better than I got along with the weak ones. You had some real weak ones, too. I didn't get along with them as well. It's strange.

I don't want to use that term because that's, you know, I don't want to say, oh, they were afraid. Like a child would say, but they respected me. But he said, everyone listened to Trump. They were afraid of Trump. They couldnt figure Trump out. And they all listened, and they did listen. And we had no wars. We had no nothing. I defeated ISIS, got rid of the biggest terrorists ever, maybe just about ever. But we defeatedthink of that. We knocked out ISIS, 100% of the Isis caliphate and started no wars. I wasnt in any wars.

He was so smart. He understood it. And I think he's friends or was friends, but I think he is friends with Putin very much. But he said, we have to stop the killing. And it's true. And I think I'd have that war stopped if I was president elect right after the election. If I win, I will get that war stopped.
