-
-Donald, this is getting real. This is --
-
-Yeah, it's getting real. I agree.
-
-You still have time. Do you still want to do this?
-
I mean, there's time.
-
-We're doing well.
-
It's been really a lot of fun,
-
and it's an amazing movement all over the country.
-
It's been incredible,
-
so, no, it's been an honor for me, I have to say.
-
-There's probably kids watching you right now,
-
if they're at home watching.
-
They do stay up late and watch our show.
-
Why should they want to grow up and be president?
-
-Well, I think you want to grow up and be president
-
because you want to help people.
-
And you want to help people.
-
There's tremendous problems that people in this country have,
-
and all over the world.
-
And if you want to help people,
-
there's no better position to do it from than the presidency.
-
So we can do a lot of good.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
-Did you always see yourself --
-
Did you always see yourself getting into politics?
-
-I really never did.
-
I probably wouldn't have done
-
many of the shows that I've done over the years
-
if I ever thought.
-
But I never thought this would happen.
-
Four years ago, I really, seriously considered it.
-
And they renewed --
-
As you know, they wanted me to stay and do "The Apprentice,"
-
and I was doing all of these jobs and --
-
But I really wanted to do it,
-
and ultimately I decided I'd wait.
-
Let's see how things go with the country,
-
and things only got worse,
-
and I decided to do it.
-
And, you know, I gave up a lot by doing this.
-
This is a tough thing. There's nothing easy about it.
-
I've always heard doing this is a very, very difficult thing,
-
but nobody knows how tough it is.
-
-It is, right? I mean, it's been a long ---
-
-It's grueling. It's grueling and --
-
But at the same time, very satisfying.
-
You know, you see what's happening
-
and you see what's going on, so it's very satisfying.
-
But it's a grueling process.
-
-Do you think your business background
-
helps you with campaigning?
-
Like, if you have, like --
-
you have to target, like, say you need women from 25 to 40,
-
you need that age group, do you target that?
-
-Well, I think where it helps --
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-That's good, right? Is that too business-y?
-
-I'm trying to figure that one out.
-
-I'm reading -- I'm halfway through your book.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
It's pretty good. it's pretty good.
-
-We're gonna get that one soon.
-
But, you know, yeah, I think business will always help.
-
It helps from a country standpoint.
-
You know, it's interesting.
-
When I was doing the primaries,
-
I spent less money than other people,
-
and I did better than other people.
-
And that's what we want to do for the country.
-
We want to spend less money and do better.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
And I think we can do that.
-
I think we can do that.
-
-We were talking about how long and grueling it is.
-
What has changed
-
from when you first started running to now?
-
-Well, I think the press has become more and more vicious.
-
You know, it was interesting.
-
We started off with 17,
-
and you had some of them in here,
-
and one by one by one --
-
-We had about 15 on here.
-
-You had about 15.
-
Maybe not all 17, but you had a lot of them.
-
But we had 17 people.
-
And as it got down, you know,
-
I do notice there's a big difference with the media.
-
I also say, though, there's even more love out there.
-
People want this to happen.
-
They really want it to happen.
-
And you see what's going on, even today with the polls
-
where the polls are so good.
-
We just got a great poll from Colorado.
-
Normally, a Republican wouldn't do particularly well there,
-
and we're leading in Colorado and we're leading in Iowa.
-
We're leading in Ohio and Florida.
-
We're leading all over, and it's been amazing.
-
It's been really amazing.
-
-Do you pay attention to the polls?
-
-Oh, I love the polls. -You do?
-
-But I don't pay attention --
-
If I'm losing or lagging, I'd never mention polls.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
Believe me.
-
Only when I'm winning.
-
-I've noticed that -- little changes.
-
I think your voice has changed a little bit.
-
Because I've done --
-
I hate to break it to you,
-
but I've done an impression of you
-
once or twice...on this show.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
-You have.
-
-Thank you for letting me do that.
-
-And a very good impression. -Thank you.
-
But when you first started running,
-
[As Trump] you were very high-voiced.
-
Your voice was very high,
-
China -- You'd say "China."
-
A lot of pointing -- very high.
-
[ Normal voice ] And then you got into a stage
-
where you were just yelling.
-
[As Trump] You were yelling into the microphone at people
-
and you were yelling at everyone!
-
[ Normal voice ] And, like, you don't even need the mic.
-
[ As Trump ] And now, you're more of, like, a smoky, silky...
-
[ Laughter ]
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
[ Laughs ]
-
Like a Donald Trump/Alec Baldwin impression type of voice.
-
Yeah, that's what I see you're doing.
-
And I got to kindly thank you
-
for giving us the material that we're doing.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
It's been amazing to follow and exciting
-
because you say some shocking things.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
I can't even believe.
-
-But I'm trying not to anymore.
-
-Oh, yeah.
-
See, that's changing. Yeah.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
That's what I'm talking about, so, yeah.
