THERE WAS MORE OUT OF DONALD TRUMP'S INTERVIEW
WITH REUTERS, A LOT OF CONTROVERSIAL THINGS WERE SAID,
AND AMONG THOSE THINGS WAS HIS SHOCK AND SURPRISE ABOUT
WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I LOVE MY PREVIOUS LIFE.
I HAD SOME THINGS GOING.
I ACTUALLY ñ THIS IS MORE WORK THAN MY PREVIOUS LIFE.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE OF A ñ I'M A DETAILED ORIENTED PERSON,
I THINK YOU WOULD SAY THAT, BUT I DO MISS MY OLD LIFE.
THE THING IS, HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW THAT BEING PRESIDENT
IS A LOT OF WORK?
I MEAN, I WOULD JUST THINK THAT IT WOULD BE SUPER EASY, AND YOU
WOULD GET TO, YOU KNOW, SAY YOU WANT CERTAIN THINGS, AND THEN
YOU WOULD GO UNCHECKED OR UNCHALLENGED.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT HIS STATEMENT IS REALLY ABOUT,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING A COMPANY, WHEN YOU ARE CEO
OR OWNER OF A COMPANY, WHATEVER IT IS, YOU ESSENTIALLY HAVE
THE FINAL WORD.
IN MOST SITUATIONS, UNLESS SOMEBODY OWNS MORE THAN YOU DO.
THAT'S WHY HE'S COMFORTABLE WITH THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
HE'S USED TO JUST GETTING WHAT HE WANTS HE'S USED TO HAVING HIS
FAMILY HAND OVER ALL THE MONEY, HAND OVER ALL THE COMPANIES.
HE GETS TO TELL PEOPLE WHETHER THEY ARE FIRED OR GET TO
KEEP THEIR JOBS.
HE THOUGHT THAT THE PRESIDENCY WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD GO
UNCHECKED.
HE THOUGHT HE COULD SIGN A TRAVEL BAN AS AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER, AND THAT'S IT.
9TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS?
WHAT IS THAT?
THESE FEDERAL JUDGES GET TO APPEAL ME?
IT'S HARD WORK.
AND ONE THING HE RELEASED TO WORK ON, AND RELAX IN, IS
THE ABILITY TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND NEGOTIATES.
HE TALKS ABOUT BEING A GOOD DEALMAKER, HE DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO MAKE DEALS.
BECAUSE IN HIS WORLD, WHATEVER HE SAYS GOES, AND YOU'LL
HAVE TO MAKE A DEAL.
HE'S GOOD AT MAKING A DEAL WHEN HE HAS ALL THE LEVERAGE.
EVERYONE IS GOOD AT THAT.
HE'S RICH, HE'S OFTEN HAD LEVERAGE.
THAT'S IT, IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
HE HAS NO INSIGHT INTO THE HUMAN SOUL.
BY THE WAY, HE IS NOT DETAIL ORIENTED.
HE COULDN'T BE ANY LESS DETAIL ORIENTED.
HE IS DETAIL DISORIENTED.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE WORD ACTUALLY MEANS.
NO SHIT THIS ONE IS HARDER, IT'S THE HARDEST JOB IN THE
WORLD, EVERYONE WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT.
APPARENTLY HE IS ALSO STRUGGLING WITH SOME OF THE DOWNSIDES OF
BEING PRESIDENT, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL MISS SOLITUDE, AND HE
WILL MISS PRIVACY, AND THOSE ARE TWO THINGS THAT YOU ARE UNLIKELY
TO HAVE AS A PRESIDENT, AND IT CAME AS A BIT OF A SHOCK TO HIM.
HE SAID, "WHILE I HAD VERY LITTLE PRIVACY IN MY OLD
LIFE, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN FAMOUS FOR A LONG TIME.
I REALLY ñ THIS IS MUCH LESS PRIVACY THAN I'VE SEEN IN A
LONG TIME, IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY AMAZING.
AT THE SAME TIME, YOU'RE REALLY INTO YOUR OWN COCOON
BECAUSE THEY'RE SUCH A MASSIVE PROTECTION THAT YOU CAN'T
REALLY GO ANYWHERE."
EXCEPT YOU DO GO SOMEWHERE, EVERY WEEKEND, AND YOU KNOW,
MAKE A HUGE COMMERCIAL OUT OF IT SO YOU CAN DRUM UP BUSINESS FOR
MAR-A-LAGO.
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT UP THERE, ON THE WEBSITE, THE
STATE DEPARTMENT, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
HE ALSO SAYS, "I LIKE TO DRIVE, I CAN'T DRIVE ANYMORE."
HE ALSO LIKES TO NAIL WOMEN, AND HE CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE,
THAT'S HIS WILL COMMENT ABOUT THE SECURITY.
THIS GUY IS AS ONE-DIMENSIONAL AS THEY COME, HE IS A RICH
GUY THAT LIKES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS ñ THIS CONVERSATION IS THE VERY
CONVERSATION THAT CONVINCES NO ONE TO ABANDON THAT GUY
POLITICALLY.
NO ONE.
THIS IS THREE ELITES TALKING ABOUT HOW HE'S AN IDIOT,
AND HE IS AN IDIOT AND HE'S A FRAUD, BUT WHAT GETS ME IS,
THAT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE SAW IT.
LIKE, YOU NEED A 12 SECONDS OF HEARING HIM AND IT'S LIKE,
OKAY BACK I CAN'T BE PRESIDENT.
I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE, BUT THEY DECIDED TO
IGNORE IT BECAUSE THEY HATED THE PERSON THAT WAS RUNNING AGAINST
HIM.
THE ONLY THING THAT WILL EVER CONVINCE HIM ñ THAT WILL EVER
CONVINCE PEOPLE IS IF EVERY DAY, AND WE WILL DO IT HERE, WE WILL
CALL OUR FRIEND AFTERWARDS, THERE SHOULD BE A DAILY SEGMENT
ON THIS SHOW CALLED DONALD TRUMP'S WAR ON THE WORKING
CLASS.
AND EVERY DAY, BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING EVERY DAY TO TALK
ABOUT, WE STARTED THE SHOW TALKING ABOUT IT, AND IF EVERY
DAY, IN THE PAPER THEY READ, THE NEWS THEY SEE, THERE WAS DONALD
TRUMP'S WAR ON THE WORKING CLASS, THE THING YOU DID TODAY
THAT YOU THINK MIGHT HELP YOU BUT IS GOING TO RAISE YOUR
INSURANCE PREMIUMS, OR IF YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THE STATES WITH
THIS NEW HEALTHCARE PLAN WHERE THEY CAN THROW PEOPLE WITH
PREVIOUS CONDITIONS OFF, YOUR SON HAS EARLY ONSET DIABETES,
THEY ARE GOING TO THROW HIM OFF OF IT, AND HE'S EITHER GOING TO
DIE OR YOU WANT TO SPEND ñ YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND $29,000
A MONTH ON HIS MEDICAL BILLS.
IF WE DO THOSE STORIES ON A REGULAR BASIS, THEY ARE NOT AS
FUN, WE DON'T GET TO POINT FINGERS AT THIS FRAUDULENT
IMBECILE WHO WAS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY, BUT THEY MIGHT
CHANGE PEOPLE'S MINDS.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, BECAUSE THE LIST IS LONG.
BECAUSE WHILE WE AND THE MEDIA IN GENERAL FOCUS ON POLITICS,
THE POLICY IS HIDEOUS, AND IT HELPS ONE TINY GROUP OF PEOPLE,
AND IT HURTS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
