HIM THE QUESTION EVERYBODY WANTS
TO KNOW IF HE’S RUNNING IN 2024.
YOU KNOCK ON TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION IF YOU’RE RUNNING.
>> I’M NOT ALLOWED TO LEGALLY.
IT’S RIDICULOUS.
>> Sean: WHAT WOULD YOU DO,
THINKING THROUGH THIS.
YOU SURPRISE ME ONE NIGHT WITH
AN ANSWER.
I ASKED YOU WHAT WOULD YOU DO
DIFFERENTLY?
AND YOU SAID I’D STOP FIGHTING
WITH THE MEDIA BECAUSE THEY ARE
CORRUPT AND A WASTE OF MY TIME.
DID YOU MEAN THAT?
YOU’D STOP FIGHTING WITH THE
MEDIA?
>> I BELIEVE THE TERM FAKE NEWS
EMANATED --
>> Sean: I THINK IT’S PRINTED
RIGHT ACROSS THEIR FOREHEADS.
>> IF I DIDN’T FIGHT, MY
PRESIDENCY WOULD HAVE BEEN A
FAILURE AND THE COUNTRY WOULD
HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.
>> Sean: FIGHTING ON POLICY --
>> I’D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET
ALONG WITH THE MEDIA.
I RESPECT MANY PEOPLE IN THE
MEDIA.
YOU A LOT. >> Sean: THANK YOU.
>> Sean: THANK YOU.
>> YOU SEE PULITZER PRIZES GOING
TO PEOPLE WHO DON’T DESERVE IT.
GREAT CHARTS INCREDIBLE.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO GOT IT
RIGHT THAT SHOULD BE REWARDED,
BUT YOU CAN’T LOWER THE PEOPLE
WHO GOT IT WRONG.
EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.
>> Sean: YOU WOULDN’T TALK TO
THEM.
MY QUESTION IS -- SO, WHEN YOU
THINK BACK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS?
WHY DIDN’T I DO THAT?
DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THAT?
>> YOU ALWAYS HAVE REGRETS.
BUT MY BIGGEST REGRETS OUR
PEOPLE.
WHEN I WENT TO WASHINGTON, I WAS
ONLY THERE 17 TIMES, I’VE TOLD
YOU THIS.
I NEVER STAYED OVERNIGHT SO I
WASN’T INTO THE WHOLE WORLD OF
THE WASHINGTON, D.C., SOCIETY.
I WAS FROM NEW YORK, I KNEW
EVERYBODY IN NEW YORK.
NOW I KNOW EVERYBODY, THE GOOD
ONES, THE BAD ONES, THE WEAK
ONES.
>> Sean: DO YOU THINK YOU’D BE
BETTER AND THE TEAM AROUND YOU
WOULD BE BETTER AND STRONGER?
>> WE ALSO HAD GREAT PEOPLE.
WE KNOCKED OUT 100% OF ISIS, WE
DO THINGS PEOPLE DON’T EVEN TALK
ABOUT.
WE DID OVER 1,000 THINGS RIGHT
TO TRY WHERE YOU’RE ABLE TO TRY
DRUGS THAT WON’T BE APPROVED FOR
A FIVE YEARS IF YOU’RE ILL.
THAT’S A BIG THING.
LOOK AT JERUSALEM.
>> Sean: ABRAHAM ACCORDS
ABRAHAM ACCORDS.
>> WE DID SO MUCH, WE DID SO
MUCH.
BUT THE BIG THING IS PEOPLE.
I COULD HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF
CHOICES, A FEW CHOICES, MAY BE
MORE THAN A FEW CHOICES I WENT
TO HAVE PUT A CERTAIN PERSON
THERE.
GOVERNMENT IS LARGELY PEOPLE.
NOW I KNOW EVERYBODY, THE GOOD
ONES AND THE BAD ONES.
>> Sean: WAS THERE A DAY WHERE
YOUR FAMILY WAS IMPACTED
DIRECTLY?
I KNOW ALL OF THEM VERY WELL AND
HAVE KNOWN THEM FOR A LOT OF
YEARS.
AT ANY TIME I WENT TO INTERVIEW
YOU BEFORE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, YOU
ALWAYS INTERVIEWED ME.
OF ALL GREAT ALL OF THEM.
I’VE MET BARON WHO’S A GREAT KID
KID.
YOU WATCH WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM
TODAY AND WHAT THEY’VE HAD TO GO
THROUGH, ALL THE DEPOSITIONS AND
ALL THE LEGAL STUFF THAT GOES
ON.
YOU WORRY ABOUT PUTTING OTHER
PEOPLE, WHAT MILANI HAD TO GO
THROUGH, BARON HAD TO GO
THROUGH, DO YOU WORRY ABOUT
PUTTING THEM BACK IN THAT
SITUATION?
PUT IT NICELY, YOU’RE A GOLFER.
WHY DON’T YOU JUST PLAY GOLF --
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GIVE UP A
GREAT LIFE AND GO BACK TO THAT
HECK HOLE?
>> BECAUSE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,
WE WERE SO CLOSE BEFORE COVID
CAME IN, WE HAD A COUNTRY LIKE
NEVER IN HISTORY.
EVEN WITH THAT, I SAW YOUR
FRIEND LAURA THE OTHER NIGHT DO
A SHOW.
THE NUMBERS ARE TREMENDOUS WITH
COVID.
AND AGAIN, NOBODY KNEW WHAT IT
WAS.
A CHINESE GIFT TO US, OKAY?
A HORRIBLE GIFT.
EVEN WITH COVID, MY NUMBERS ARE
BETTER THAN ANYBODY’S NUMBERS IN
DECADES.
YOU COULD ADD BUSH AND OBAMA
TOGETHER, FORGET BIDEN BECAUSE A
STOCK MARKET IS LOWER THAN MINE
WAS AND YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT TWO
YEARS LATER.
MY STOCK MARKET HIT A RECORD
EVEN AFTER COVID WHEN I HANDED
IT OFF IF YOU CALL IT A HANDOFF.
MY STOCK MARKET WAS HIGHER THAN
IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE COVID CAME
IN.
IF WE DID AMAZING JOB.
>> Sean: FINAL QUESTION AND
YOU GIVE US A LOT OF TIME,
THANK YOU.
>> DID YOU THINK BIDEN WOULD
GIVE YOU THIS MUCH TIME?
>> Sean: WANT TO KNOW MY
HONEST ANSWER?
I DON’T THINK HE KNOWS TODAY IS
WEDNESDAY.
>> I HOPE HE DOES, FOR THE SAKE
OF THIS COUNTRY, I HOPE HE DOES.
>> Sean: THAT’S VERY GRACIOUS.
I SHOULD TELL THE STORY, HE SAID
THAT I SHOULD GO EASIER ON HIM.
>> I THINK IT WAS TOO TOUGH, I
THOUGHT YOU WERE VERY TOUGH.
>> Sean: WHEN I WAS TELLING
THE TRUTH.
>> I WILL SAY THIS, FORGET
POLITICS AND THE REPUBLICAN, THE
DEMOCRATS, THE RADICAL LEFT.
I WANT SOMEBODY THAT’S A GREAT
LEADER.
I WANT SOMEBODY THAT CAN STAND
TOE-TO-TOE WITH PRESIDENT XI OF
CHINA, AND YOU CAN GO ALL OVER
HOLLYWOOD AND TRY TO GET
SOMEBODY TO PLAY THE ROLE OF
PRESIDENT XI, THE PRESIDENT OF
CHINA.
THERE IS NO ACTOR LIKE THAT.
THESE ARE FIERCE PEOPLE, HE’S A
FIERCE MAN.
I WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF HIS UNTIL
COVID AND THEN I GAVE HIM UP.
THIS IS TOO MUCH.
UNBELIEVABLE TRADE DEALS WITH
CHINA.
I MADE AN UNBELIEVABLE TRADE
DEAL GETTING RID OF NAFTA AND
REPLACING IT WITH USMC.
NOW MEXICO AND CANADA WANT TO
RENEGOTIATE BECAUSE THE DEAL IS
SO GOOD.
WE DID UNBELIEVABLE THINGS.
WE NEED OUR SHARPEST PEOPLE
BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE PRESIDENT XI
PRESIDENT XI, LIKE I CAN NAME SO
MANY OF THEM, LIKE PUTIN BUT OF
COURSE HE’S HAVING A DIFFERENT
KIND OF A SPELL.
LET ME TELL YOU.
THESE ARE FIERCE PEOPLE, THEY’RE
SMART, THEY’RE TOUGH, THEY DON’T
KNOW ABOUT LOSING. POLLUTANT IS HAVING A HARD
TIME.
BE CAREFUL WHAT’S HAPPENED AND
BEING HANDLED INCORRECTLY.
BUT THESE ARE VERY, STRONG,
SMART, PEOPLE.
IF BEYOND REPUBLICAN OR
DEMOCRAT’S, I WANT TO SEE
SOMEBODY THAT IS GREAT.
>> Sean: YOU WANT JOE BIDEN TO
SUCCEED?
>> I’D RATHER HAVE HIM SUCCEED
INCREDIBLY, EVEN IF IT MEANT A
MUCH TOUGHER END -- I WANT TO
SEE WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY.
IF I HAD MY CHOICE OF HAVING --
THIS COUNTRY IS A MESS.
THIS COUNTRY’S NOT GOING TO
SURVIVE.
IT THE WAY GOING RIGHT NOW.
>> Sean: YOU WANT TO GO
THROUGH ALL THE HECK WE TALKED
ABOUT TODAY AND ALL YOU’VE BEEN
THROUGH, ALL THE SIX YEARS.
YOU PUT YOUR COUNTRY FIRST.
IS THIS A CALLING FOR YOU?
>> I PUT THE COUNTRY FIRST.
LONG BEFORE I RAN FOR POLITICS,
I HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVES,
THE GREATEST PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD.
>> Sean: EVERYBODY SHOULD LIVE
YOUR LIFE.
>> IS VERY FUNNY.
I WAS HEADING INTO A BIG EVENT
AT THE CONVENTION CENTER,
ROBIN HOOD, YOU KNOW WHAT
ROBIN HOOD IS.
TREMENDOUS COMPANY.
HALF THE PEOPLE WE ARE CHEERING
WILDLY AND HALF THE PEOPLE WERE
BOOING.
I HAD JUST ANNOUNCED THAT I WAS
RUNNING.
OF MY WIFE LOOKED AT ME.
SHE SAID DARLING, I’VE NEVER
