Sept 9 National Faith Advisory phone call
"Every day she is flooding our country with billions and billions of illegal aliens. She wants to make them citizens, she wants to have them vote. Which will destroy the voting powers of Christian conservatives forever.”
Sept 5, Economic Club of NY
Q: If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable and if so, what specific piece of legislation would you advance?
A: Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, you know I was, uh... somebody we had, uh... Senator Marco... Rubio and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh... impactful on that issue; it's a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care. Couldn't, you know, there's something you have to have it, in this country, you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to, but they'll get used to it very quickly and it's not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.
Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about including child care that it's going to take care-- we're going to have, I-- I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time. Coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care, I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth. But growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh... that I just told you about.
We're going to be taking in trillions of dollars and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive it's, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taking in. We're going to make this into... an... incredible country that can afford to take care of its people and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people, but we're going to take care of our country first. This is about America First. It's about... make America great again. We have to do it, because right now we're a failing nation. So, we'll take care of it. Thank you - very good question - thank you.

... you take a look at bacon and some of these products and some people don't eat bacon anymore and uh we are going to get the energy prices down when we get energy down you know this was caused by their horrible energy wind they want wind all over the place but when it doesn't blow we have a little problem.

But, eh, the transgender thing is incredible. Think of it, your kid goes to school and he comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child. And you know many of these childs fifteen years later say, “What the hell happened? Who did this to me?”

"I was just telling this reporter the real problem and the real radicals on that issue are the Democrats where you can have an abortion in the ninth month. And in six states you’re allowed to kill the baby after the baby is born. And you know, one of those states is Minnesota where this Tampon Tim comes from ... You’re allowed to execute the baby."

"She destroyed the city of San Francisco, it’s — and I own a big building there — it’s no — I shouldn’t talk about this but that’s OK I don’t give a damn because this is what I’m doing. I should say it’s the finest city in the world — sell and get the hell out of there, right? But I can’t do that. I don’t care, you know? I lost billions of dollars, billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, ‘What do you think you lost?’ I said, ‘Probably two, three billion. That’s OK, I don’t care.’ They say, ‘You think you’d do it again?’ And that’s the least of it. Nobody. They always say, I don’t know if you know. Lincoln was horribly treated. Uh, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all, that he was treated worse than any other president. I said, ‘Do that study again, because I think there’s nobody close to Trump.’ I even got shot! And who the hell knows where that came from, right?"

You know, she was a district attorney, and she was the attorney general of the state. I heard the other day -- and this isn't anything -- I'm just saying. They'll say, "He was rambling." I don't ramble. I'm really smart guy, you know, really smart. I don't ramble. But the other day, anytime I hit too hard, they say, "He was rambling, rambling." You know, I get up and I make a speech.
I go for sometimes two hours, two and a half hours because, you know, people are waiting outside for three days, four days. You guys were waiting out there for a long time. Front-Row Joes are waiting out. I don't know how you guys do it. And I feel I have an obligation to speak and speak in a certain way and speak a little bit longer. You know, how would you like it? A guy's waiting with his family for three and a half, four days? They have a tent and the tent is set up, they have hundreds of them, and they wait. And then I walk in, speak for 15 minutes and leave. I don't know. Would that be OK, North Carolina, I don't think so, right?
They want me to speak all day. You know, when I leave, I did one two hours and 15 minutes, and I'm leaving and they're screaming. "No, sir. More. We want to hear more." I said, "I can't." I said, "I can't speak more. What the hell else am I going to say?" Our country is going to hell. That's all I can say. We're a nation in decline. You know, we were talking about that before. My phrases are copied so much, right? I use the term oftentimes in closing. We are a nation in decline. We are a failed nation. And I think it's a beautiful phrase, although I don't like the topic very much. I don't like what it represents, but there's a certain beauty.

"They come out with faucets where no water comes out. You know, if you go and buy a home, and they know what I mean, the showers, you stand under a shower and there's no water coming, and you end up standing there five times longer ... so in Ohio, you have this great company that came to me, a dishwasher company, one of the biggest and finest companies, but they were going out of business. They said, we're not allowed to use water."

“Somebody said he looks great in a bathing suit, right? And you know, when he was in the sand and he was having a hard time lifting his feet through the sand, because you know sand is heavy, they figured three solid ounces per foot, but sand is a little heavy, and he’s sitting in a bathing suit. Look, at 81, do you remember Cary Grant? How good was Cary Grant, right? I don’t think Cary Grant, he was good. I don’t know what happened to movie stars today. We used to have Cary Grant and Clark Gable and all these people. Today we have, I won’t say names, because I don’t need enemies. I don’t need enemies. I got enough enemies. But Cary Grant was, like – Michael Jackson once told me, ‘The most handsome man, Trump, in the world.’ ‘Who?’ ‘Cary Grant.’ Well, we don’t have that any more, but Cary Grant at 81 or 82, going on 100. This guy, he’s 81, going on 100. Cary Grant wouldn’t look too good in a bathing suit, either. And he was pretty good-looking, right?”
