PLEASE WELCOME BACK
FRANKLIN'S AND WELCOME TO IOWA
AND TO THE FAMILY LEADERSHIP
SUMMIT, BUSINESSMAN DONALD
TRUMP.
[APPLAUSE]
DONALD TRUMP: BEAUTIFUL.
LOOK AT THAT.
HELLO.
THAT IS VERY GOOD.
FRANK: I WANT TO ASK YOU, HOW
MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THE MAJORITY
OF POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON
PLAY BY THEIR OWN SET OF RULES
AND DON'T TELL THE TRUTH?
RAISE YOUR HAND.
DOES ANYONE TRUST ANYONE IN
WASHINGTON?
AUDIENCE: NO.
FRANK LUNTZ: SECOND QUESTION,
THIS IS APPROPRIATE TO YOU.
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN THE
NEXT PRESIDENT?
POLITICAL EXPERIENCE OR BUSINESS
EXPERIENCE?
WHO SAYS POLITICAL?
RAISE YOUR HAND.
WHO SAYS BUSINESS EXPERIENCE,
RAISE YOUR HANDS. I THINK BOTH.
SO I NEED TO ASK YOU, THE MOST
IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE OF A
SUCCESSFUL WORKFORCE IS THE
EDUCATION AND TRAINING.
IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE OUT THERE
AND I KNOW HOW FOCUSED YOU ARE
ON GETTING THE BEST EMPLOYEES.
COMMON CORE HAS BEEN VERY
CONTROVERSIAL.
THE PRESIDENT HAS HAD TO STEP BACK ON IT.
WHAT SHOULD THE NEXT PRESIDENT
DO WITH COMMON CORE AND WITH
EDUCATION?
MR. TRUMP: A GREAT QUESTION.
COMMON CORE HAS TO BE ENDED.
IT IS A DISASTER.
[APPLAUSE]
IT IS A WAY OF TAKING CARE OF
THE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON THAT
FRANKLY I DON'T EVEN THINK THEY
GIVE A DAMN ABOUT EDUCATION,
HALF OF THEM.
I AM SURE SOME OF YOU MAY BE
DO.
FRANK LUNTZ: DO YOU WANT TO USE
THAT WORD?
MR. TRUMP: I WILL, I WILL.
BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR THE
TRUTH, FRANK.
EXACTLY WHAT FRANK SAID IS WHAT
IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY.
WE ARE SO POLITICALLY CORRECT
THAT WE CANNOT MOVE ANYMORE.
[APPLAUSE]
YOU KNOW?
FRANK LUNTZ: WAIT A MINUTE.
MR. TRUMP: WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
EXPRESS OURSELVES. FRANK LUNTZ: BUT DON'T WE GO TOO
FAR?
DON'T YOU FEEL THAT YOU WENT TOO
FAR IN WHAT YOU CALL --
COMING ACROSS THE BORDER.
MR. TRUMP: OH, NO, NOT AT ALL.
LET ME TELL YOU, NOT AT ALL.
TWO THINGS.
I AM SO PROUD OF THE FACT THAT I
GOT DIALOGUE STARTED ON ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
AND PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA, AND ALL
FAIRNESS, THEY WERE VERY ROUGH
ON ME IN THAT FIRST WEEK AND NOW
MANY HAVE APOLOGIZED TO ME.
IT HAS TURNED OUT I WAS RIGHT.
SOMEONE IN SAN FRANCISCO WAS
SHOT BY SOMEONE ILLEGAL WHO WAS
HERE FIVE TIMES.
THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT
IT AND NOW EVERYBODY IS SAYING
THAT TRUMP WAS RIGHT.
I TELL YOU, I TOOK A LOT OF
ABUSE.
I HAD DISLOYAL PEOPLE LIKE MACY'S.
HAVESAID WE ARE GOING TO
TWO DROP YOU.
I SAID, I DON'T CARE.
I NEVER LIKED THEM THAT MUCH
BECAUSE THEY WERE MADE IN CHINA.
AND NEVER MATTER THAT MUCH.
OBVIOUSLY, THEY APPRECIATED.
FRANK LUNTZ: BUT REFERRING TO
PEOPLE AS RAPISTS.
HERO, AED TO, A WAR
DUMMY. IS THAT APPROPRIATE FOR RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT?
MR. TRUMP: YOU HAVE TO LET ME
SPEAK, FRANK, BECAUSE YOU
INTERRUPT ME ALL THE TIME.
LET'S TAKE JOHN MCCAIN.
I'M IN PHOENIX.
WE HAVE A MEETING THAT IS GOING
TO HAVE 500 PEOPLE.
WE GET A CALL FROM THE HOTEL.
TURMOIL.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE SHOWING
UP DAYS BEFORE. 3, 4, THE HOTEL SAYS, WE CANNOT
HANDLE THIS. WE MOVE IT TO THE CONVENTION
CENTER. WE HAVE 15,000 PEOPLE.
THE BIGGEST ONE EVER.
BIGGER THAN BERNIE SANDERS,
AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.
A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH INCREDIBLE
PEOPLE WHO WERE WONDERFUL GREAT AMERICANS.
I WILL TELL YOU. -- DONALD TRUMP
MAKES MY LIFE DIFFICULT.
I SAID, THEY WERE NOT CRAZY.
THEY WERE GREAT AMERICANS.
I KNOW WHAT CRAZY IS. I KNOW ALL ABOUT CRAZIES.
PEOPLE ARE NOT CRAZY. AND HE INSULTED
EVERYONE IN THAT ROOM AND I SAID SOMEONE SHOULD RUN AGAINST JOHN
MCCAIN, AND I SUPPORTED HIM.
FOR PRESIDENT.
I PLEDGED A MILLION DOLLARS FRAME.
HE LET US DOWN. HE LOST.
I DIDN'T LIKE HIM AS MUCH AFTER
THAT.
HE WAS AWARE HERO.
-- HE IS A WAR HERO.
WHOTRUMP: I LIKE PEOPLE
WERE NOT CAPTURED.
-- LUNTZ: HE IS AWARE HERO
HE IS A WAR HERO BECAUSE HE WAS
CAPTURED.
SAID, JOHN MCCAIN,
I DISAGREE WITH HIM THAT THESE
PEOPLE ARE CRAZY AND I SPEAK THE
TRUTH.
HE GRADUATED LAST IN HIS CLASS
AT ANNAPOLIS I SAID, NO ONE
KNOWS THAT.
HE WAS UPSET. WHY?
FOR TELLING THE TRUTH.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT
SOMEONE GRADUATES LAST IN THEIR
QUEST BECAUSE YOURS WAS THIS --
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE VERY
NICE.
I WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN.
WE DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO HIS
STUFF AND BE POLITICALLY
CORRECT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
FRANK, THE OTHER DAY HILLARY
-- I DIDOT UP AND SAID
NOT LIKE MR. TRUMP'S JOAN.
WE HAVE PEOPLE, CHRISTIANS,
HAVING THEIR HEADS CHOPPED OFF
IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WE HAVE PEOPLE DYING OVER THE
BORDER.
, LIKE MEDIEVAL TIMES,
AND SHE SAID -- I DID NOT LIKE
HIS TONE.
WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH
TONE?
WE WANT RESULTS.
THIS GROUP WANTS RESULTS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE HAVE PEOPLE --
MR. LUNTZ: WE HAVE PEOPLE LINED
UP FOR QUESTIONS.
WORD CHRISTIAN.
HAVE YOU EVER ASK GOD FOR
FORGIVENESS? TOUGHUMP: THAT IS A
QUESTION. I AM A RELIGIOUS PERSON.
SHOCKINGLY.
I AM PROTESTANT. I AM PRESBYTERIAN.
I GO TO CHURCH AND I LOVE GOD AND I LOVE MY CHURCH.
NORMAN VINCENT PEEL WITH MY
PASTOR. THE POSITIVE -- THE POWER OF
POSITIVE THINKING.
HE WAS SO GREAT.
HE WOULD GIVE A SERMON AND NO .NE EVER WANTED TO LEAVE YOU
DR. NORMAN VINCENT PEEL WOULD
MON -- I AM
TELLING YOU, I STILL REMEMBER
HIS SERMONS.
HE WOULD BRING REAL-LIFE
SITUATIONS, MODERN-DAY SITUATIONS INTO THE SERMON.
YOU COULD LISTEN TO HIM ALL DAY
LONG. AND YOU LEFT THE CHURCH, YOU ARE
DISAPPOINTED THAT IT WAS OVER.
HE WAS THE GREATEST GUY. HE PASSED AWAY.
HE WROTE -- THE POWER OF
POSITIVE THINKING. MR. LUNTZ: BUT, HAVE YOU EVER
ASKED GOD FOR FORGIVENESS> MR.
TRUMPS?
MR. TRUMP: I DON'T THINK SO.
IF I DO SOMETHING WRONG, I TRY
MAKE IT -- I TRY TO
RIGHT. I DON'T BRING GOD INTO THE
PICTURE. WHEN WE GO TO CHURCH, AND I
, THAT IS ATTLE WINE
FORM OF ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS. I DO THAT AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE
BECAUSE THAT IS A WAY I FEEL
CLEANSED.
IN TERMS OF OFFICIALLY -- I
COULD SAY ABSOLUTELY, I DON'T
THINK IN THOSE TERMS.
I THINK -- LET'S GO ON AND LET'S
MAKE IT RIGHT.
[APPLAUSE]
MR. LUNTZ: MICROPHONE ONE
PLEASE.
WE RESPECTFULLY REMEMBER THE
1992 ELECTIONS.
WOULD YOU GO ON RECORD TODAY AND
SAY, IF YOU CANNOT GET THE
NOMINATION COME YOU WILL NOT RUN
AS A THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATE?
NO.TRUMP:
I WILL NOT GO ON RECORD AND SAY
THAT.
-- THISHIS COUNTRY
COUNTRY HAS GREAT POTENTIAL BUT
SOON IT WILL NOT HAVE THAT
POTENTIAL BECAUSE IT IS BEING
DRAINED BY INCOMPETENT LEADERS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE IRANIAN DEAL.
JUST THIS MORNING, AND
YESTERDAY, SECRETARY KERRY, WHO
IS THE WORST NEGOTIATOR.
VERYTARY KERRY SAID
STRONGLY -- WE DID NOT WANT TO
BRING UP THE HOSTAGES AND
COMPLICATED DEAL.
HOW IS THAT COMPLICATING THE
DEAL THAT WE WANT OUR HOSTAGES BACK?
IRANS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT
GOT ONE OF THEIR LEADING NUCLEAR
SCIENTIST THAT AS PART OF THEIR
DEAL.
JUST ANNOUNCED THIS MORNING.
IRAN, IN ADDITION TO MAKING AN
UNBELIEVABLE DEAL, WHICH WILL
MAKE THEM ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL COUNTRIES, WE ARE
GIVING THEM BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WE SHOULD NOT BE GIVING THEM WE
DID NOT GET OUR HOSTAGES BACK
WHICH IS TERRIBLE, BECAUSE THEY
DID NOT WANT TO COMPLICATE.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO COMPLICATE THE
NEGOTIATIONS.
WHEN OBAMA WAS ASKED THAT
, THEION THE OTHER DAY
ANGER IN HIS FACE AT BEING ASKED THAT QUESTION AND HE SAID -- WE
DID NOT WANT TO COMPLICATE THINGS.
IRAN JUST GOT THEIR BIG
SCIENTIST BACK AND WE DECIDED --
WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT THIS
MORNING.
WE ARE RUN BY A GROUP OF
INCOMPETENT PEOPLE WHO ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
CAN I SAY ONE OTHER THING?
NOBODY DEALS WITH POLITICIANS MORE THAN I DO.
I CONTRIBUTED TO EVERYBODY. THEY DID WHATEVER I SAID.
EVERYBODY.
[LAUGHTER]
I CONTRIBUTED TO HILLARY
CLINTON.
I WAS A BUSINESSMAN.
WHY WOULD MY?
N'T I?
I TOLD THEM TO BE AT MY WEDDING.
MR. LUNTZ: WHICH WEDDING?
[LAUGHTER]
MR. TRUMP: MY LAST WEDDING.
BUSINESSMAN, YOU HAVE
UNDERSTANDINGS AND OTHER THINGS
TO DO. I AM VERY PROUD OF MY RECORD.
NO POLITICIAN IN MY OPINION, I
KNOW THEM ALL, I WATCH THEM, A
TALK ABOUT THE MOON AND THE
SUNSHINE -- PEOPLE WANT JOBS.
NO POLITICIAN IS GOING TO GET THIS COUNTRY BACK.
I AM SORT OF A POLITICIAN
BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH
THEM ALL OF MY LIFE.
IF YOU CANNOT WIN AND MAKE A LOT OF MONEY WITH POLITICIANS,
YOU'RE NOT VERY GOOD.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS DEALT
WITH THEM ANY BETTER.
SL OF THE PEOPLE, WHEN YOU
$100 MILLION, THOSE
PEOPLE ARE CONTROLLED BY THOSE
WHO GAVE THEM THE MONEY.
THEY ARE LOBBYISTS AND SPECIAL
INTERESTS AND DONORS. ARELL TELL YOU THAT THEY
UNDER TOTAL CONTROL. WHEN BUSH HAS TO MAKE A
DECISION, CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS
GUY NEGOTIATING AGAINST CHINA?
WE HAVE NO CHANCE.
WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE
NEGOTIATING AGAINST CHINA?
TRUMP OR BUSH?
AS LUNTZ: THIS IS A SUMMIT
OPPOSED TO A POLITICAL EFFORT.
YOU CAN AFFORD THE LAWYERS
AGAINST THE IRS, I CANNOT.
MR. TRUMP: I KNOW.
MR. LUNTZ: QUESTION FOR
MICROPHONE TWO. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT YOUR FAITH
HOW YOURAND I WONDER
FAITH AND FAMILY HAS INFLUENCED
-- HAVE INFLUENCED HOW YOU RAISE
YOUR CHILDREN. MR. TRUMP: I HAVE FIVE WONDERFUL
CHILDREN.
I GET QUESTIONS SIMILAR TO THAT
BECAUSE MY CHILDREN HAVE DONE
WELL.
ERIC -- MY THREE OLDEST
CHILDREN HAVE DONE WELL.
THEY HAVE GONE INTO BUSINESS AND
THEY ARE SOLID.
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN IN TROUBLE.
MORE THAN ANY OTHER QUESTION I
GET FROM PEOPLE IS -- HOW DID
YOU RAISE YOUR KIDS?
ONE OF THEM WAS THROUGH THE
CHURCH, VERY IMPORTANT. WHERE I GREWRCH
UP, A FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
IN JAMAICA QUEENS AND THAT IS WHERE I GREW UP AND THAT IS
WHERE I WENT TO CHURCH.
I DID ALL OF THE THINGS THAT A
LOT OF FOLKS IN THIS ROOM DID.
IT WAS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT.
CHURCH WAS.
THE OTHER IMPORTANT ELEMENT WAS
THAT FROM THE TIME THEY ARE TWO
YEARS OLD, NO DRUGS, NO ALCOHOL,
NO CIGARETTES.
SAID -- DADDY,E
YOU ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY.
SHE DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT DRUGS
WERE.
I SEE SO MANY CHILDREN GET UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS AND
ALCOHOL AND THEIR ARE BRILLIANT
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE NO CHANCE.
UNDER THEARE
INFLUENCE OF THE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, LIFE IS TOO TOUGH.
I WAS VERY STRONG WITH MY
CHILDREN.
NO DRUGS, NO OUTLAW.
AND I THREW IN CIGARETTES.
MR. LUNTZ: YOU OFTEN HAVE DINNER
WITH YOUR KIDS?
MR. TRUMP: ALMOST ALWAYS.
I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO MY
CHILDREN. THEULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF
BIGGEST, MOST IMPORTANT DEAL. FOR EXAMPLE, IF MY DAUGHTER
CALLED ME RIGHT NOW, I WOULD SAY
GOODBYE.
AVAILABLE TO MY
CHILDREN.
ACTUALLY A GREAT
FATHER.
I WAS A BETTER FATHER THAN I WAS
ALWAYS BEEN.
THE REASON WAS, I WAS A WORKER.
THEY WERE VERY GOOD WOMEN BUT I
WAS ALWAYS WORKING.
I WAS CREATING JOBS, I WAS
BUILDING JOBS, I WAS DOING
LEGITIMATE STUFF AND IT WAS VERY
-- AND I BLAMEN
MYSELF, NO ONE ELSE.
IT WAS A WORK THING.
IT WAS VERY HARD FOR ANYONE TO
COMPETE AGAINST THE WORK.
THAT WAS NOT GOOD.
MR. LUNTZ: WHAT ADVICE YOU HAVE?
-- WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE WHEN
YOU TRY TO PRIORITIZE YOUR
CAREER AND FAMILY?
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET THAT
RIGHT?
I KNOW MOST OF THE
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
APARTMENT TO A CHINESE
PERSON FOR $55 MILLION.
I LIKE CHINA. I JUST DON'T APPRECIATE THAT
THEIR LEADERS ARE SO MUCH
SMARTER THAN OUR LEADERS AND
THEY WERE.
ALL OF THE TIME. SAME WITH MEXICO.
I LOVE THE MEXICAN PEOPLE. THOUSANDS OF THEM WORK FOR ME.
I JUST DON'T LIKE THAT THE
MEXICAN LEADERS ARE RIPPING OFF
OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY ARE
SMARTER AND MORE CUNNING THAN
OUR LEADERS AND OUR NEGOTIATORS.
BETWEEN THE TRADE AND THE BORDER
THEY ARE KILLING US. MR. LUNTZ: YOUR PRESS
CONFERENCES WOULD TAKE FOREVER.
[LAUGHTER]
MR. TRUMP: I WAS TRYING TO GET
OUT THE POINT.
MR. LUNTZ: CAREER AND FAMILY --
HOW DO YOU BALANCE?
PEOPLEMP: THE HAPPIEST
ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOOD FAMILIES.
I KNOW THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD, I KNOW THE TOUGHEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, I KNOW THE
MOST BRUTAL PEOPLE.
GREAT NEGOTIATORS, GREAT
BUSINESS PEOPLE.
NOT NICE PEOPLE.
AT THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE.
SMART,E VERY RICH, VERY
AND I WOULD USE THEM TO
NEGOTIATE AGAINST JAPAN.
I WILL TELL YOU, THEY ARE NOT
THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE.
THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE I SEE HAVE
GREAT FAMILIES.
[APPLAUSE]
JUST TO TAKE THAT A STEP
FURTHER, AND I TELL THIS TO
PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME, THEY
ASKED ME HOW TO GET RICH?
TIME, THEM ALL OF THE
BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IT, THOSE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE GREAT
PEOPLE THOSE ARE THE
THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT ARE THE
HAPPIEST.
PEOPLE ALWAYS
WANT MORE. THEY COULD HAVE 2 BILLION AND
THEY WANT 6 BILLION.
THEY ALWAYS WANT MORE.
IN THE END, THEY ARE NOT HAPPY.
I DON'T KNOW.
RELIGION IS A VERY BIG FACTOR
ALSO. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE A
GREAT FAMILY AND GOD AND CHURCH,
AND THEY LOVE THEIR CHURCH.
I HAVE FRIENDS WHO LOVE TO GO TO
CHURCH AND HELP THEIR PEOPLE --
AND HELP THEIR CHILDREN. MR. LUNTZ: THIS AUDIENCE WILL BE
DISAPPOINTED IF I DON'T ASK THIS
QUESTION. WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
GOD?
MR. TRUMP: I PRAY.
I GO TO CHURCH. , IO THINGS THAT ARE WRONG
GUESS SO. I AM A BUSINESS PERSON.
I REALLY DO WELL AT BUSINESS.
I HAVE DONE GREAT.
I HAVE MADE GREAT DEALS. I ON SOME OF THE GREATEST
PROPERTIES IN THE WORLD.
I THINK GOD HELPED ME.
ME BY GIVING ME A
CERTAIN BRAIN.
SCHOOL --A PHENOMENAL
THE WHARTON SCHOOL.
I DID WELL THERE.
WITH A CERTAIN
INTELLECT THAT IS GOOD FOR THIS.
ESSENTIALLY, WHEN YOU BOIL IT
THAT WE NEED A PRESIDENT
IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
DEALS, GREAT DEALS, BECAUSE WE
ARE GETTING KILLED.
OUR GDP WENT DOWN IN
THE FIRST QUARTER.
IT BECAME NEGATIVE.
WHEN CHINA GOES UP 7%.
IN CHINA, THEY ARE GOING CRAZY.
NEGATIVE NUMBER.
IT IS UNHEARD OF.
FAIRLYS DOWN
SUBSTANTIALLY AND I THINK IT
WILL CONTINUE TO GO DOWN WHICH
MEANS WE ARE GETTING SMALLER BUT
WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE.
MANY OF HOME HAVE -- MANY OF
WHOM HAVE COME ACROSS THE BORDER.
WE NEED SOMEONE THAT CAN TAKE
OUR JOBS BACK FROM CHINA AND
MEXICO BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO
HELP. OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO HELL.
WE NEED SOMEONE THAT IS GOING TO
BE ABLE TO BRING OUR JOBS BACK.
[APPLAUSE] OF LUNTZ: SO, I KNOW PART
THIS RESPONSIBILITY IS TO BE
ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.
NOT JUST ABOUT POLICY.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO
CLOSE WITH THE ISSUES THAT YOU
WANT TO DO.
LEADERS ARE REQUIRED TO SET
PRIORITIES.
OURUR ECONOMIC HEALTH OR
MORAL HEALTH MORE IMPORTANT FOR
THE NEXT PRESIDENT TO
PRIORITIZE?
CAN DO BOTH,U
FRANK. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ONE
WITHOUT THE OTHER. [APPLAUSE]
IF I AM ELECTED PRESIDENT, THEY
CANNOT CREATE JOBS LIKE ME.
THEY CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH CHINA LIKE I CAN.
OTHER SINGLE COUNTRY
IN THE WORLD.
IF I CAN MAKE THE COUNTRY STRONG
FINANCIALLY, IT IS A LOT EASIER
FOR THE COUNTRY MORALLY.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON.
WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. OUR MILITARY -- WE SEND WEAPONS
TO OUR ALLIES, AND SHOTS ARE
2300 HUMVEES.LOSE
WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE ARE
DOING.
IF I CAN MAKE OUR COUNTRY REALLY
STRONG, I WOULD FOCUS ON THE MILITARY.
I WOULD FOCUS ON THE VETERANS.
THEY ARE TREATED LIKE FOURTH CLASS CITIZENS.
THAT IS PART OF THE MORALITY.
THESE PEOPLE WENT OUT AND FOUGHT
BREAST AND THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE.
THEY ARE TREATED SO BADLY.
I HAVE BEEN WITH VETERANS WHO
SAY THEY GO TO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE
IN ONE OF THE PLACES AND THEY
WAIT FIVE DAYS IN A RECEPTION
AREA BEFORE THEY GET TO SEE A
DOCTOR.
THAT IS BAD MORALLY.
YOUR QUESTION IS VERY GOOD BUT I
THINK WE HAVE TO GO HAND-IN-HAND.
NATIONNTRY IS A BETTER
-- A DEBTOR NATION, WE HAVE TO
MAKE OUR COUNTRY RICH AGAIN.
WE HAVE TO MAKE A GREAT AGAIN.
WE CANNOT LET OTHER PARTS OF THE
WORLD STEEL OUR COUNTRY, OUR
JOBS, OUR MANUFACTURING.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE
MORALITY OF THIS COUNTRY WITH
THE RIGHT PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT
OBAMA, I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE A
GOOD PRESIDENT.
DO IS BE AE WOULD
GREAT CHEERLEADER FOR THE
COUNTRY. HE HAS BEEN HORRIBLE.
MR. LUNTZ: DOES HE LOVE AMERICA?
MR. TRUMP: I HOPE SO.
MR. LUNTZ: IS HE A MORAL
PRESIDENT?
MR. TRUMP: I DON'T KNOW.
ASK HIS WIFE. [LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
HOPING, AND I THOUGHT, THE
ONE THING I THOUGHT ABOUT HIM, I
SAW HIM SPEAKING IN GERMANY -- I
THOUGHT HE WOULD BE OF THE
CHEERLEADER FOR THE COUNTRY.
HE HAS BEEN HORRIBLE.
HE HAS BEEN DIVISIVE.
HE HAS NOT EVEN CALLED KATE'S
KILLED.HO WAS
HE HAS NOTTELL --
CALLED THE FAMILY OF KATE
STEINLE.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT KILLED HER.
HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HERE.
I THINK MORALITY AND I THINK
SUCCESS GO HAND IN HAND.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE ONE
WITHOUT THE OTHER.
MR. LUNTZ: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
DONALD TRUMP.
YOU.RUMP: THANK
AND YOU EVERYONE.
-- THANK YOU EVERYONE.
I GET A STANDING OVATION. OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT.
[APPLAUSE]
