>> DONALD TRUMP WAS RECENTLY ASKED, HEY, HAS ANYONE TOLD
EVER TOLD YOU NO?
WE HAD A SHORT VIDEO, THEN I WILL GIVE YOU THE FULL QUOTE.
>> MY LIFE, REALLY, HAS BEEN A NO, AND I FOUGHT THROUGH IT.
I HAVE
BEEN TOLD NO MANY TIMES.
MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A NO, AND I
HAVE FOUGHT THROUGH IT.
YOUR WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A NO?
REALLY?
YOUR FATHER WAS WORTH $200 MILLION.
YOU WENT TO ALL
THE BEST SCHOOLS, AND I WOULD NOT MIND SEEING YOUR LONGFORM
TRANSCRIPTS TO SEE IF YOU EARNED THOSE SCHOOLS OR NOT.
AND YOU WERE
GIVEN PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRED.
YOUR WHOLE LIFE
WAS A NO?
GOD, MAN, THE ARROGANCE IS ASTOUNDING.
BUT IT IS ABOUT
TO GET WORSE.
HE SAYS, IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY FOR ME, YOU KNOW.
I STARTED OFF IN BROOKLYN, MY FATHER GAVE ME A SMALL LOAN OF
$1 MILLION.
CAN YOU BELIEVE HE SAYS THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE?
BUT THAT IS THE THING, PEOPLE LIVE IN THEIR OWN BUBBLES.
IN
TRUMP'S BUBBLE, HE IS THE VICTIM OF EVERYBODY SAYING NO TO HIM.
WHY DIDN'T HE JUST GIVE HIM THE MONEY RIGHT AWAY?
YOU'RE RIGHT,
HIS DAD DID, BUT STILL.
IN THE BEGINNING HE STRUGGLED.
HE ONLY
GOT A SMALL LOAN OF $1 MILLION WHEN HE WAS COMING OUT OF
BROOKLYN.
OKAY, ALSO ENORMOUSLY UNTRUE, I WILL GET TO THAT IN A
SECOND.
MATT LAUER ASKED HIM ABOUT THAT, AND HE AT LEAST
ACKNOWLEDGED, OH YEAH, THAT'S NOT THAT SMALL.
>>YOU SAID IT HASN'T BEEN EASY, BUT MY DAD GAVE ME $1 MILLION.
>>HE DID.
>>THAT PROBABLY WILL SEEM EASY TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.
>>OKAY, I GUESS.
THAT IS ACTUAL MONEY TO YOU GUYS, IT WAS
NOTHING TO ME GROWING UP, WE HAD MILLIONS EVERYWHERE.
HE SAID, $1
MILLION ISN'T VERY MUCH COMPARED TO WHAT I BUILT.
I HAVE BUILT
ONE OF THE GREAT COMPANIES.
WELL, ONE COMPANY THAT HE HAS
NOW.
THE OTHER FOUR COMPANIES HE BUILT WENT TO BANKRUPTCY.
THOSE
WERE NOT SO GREAT.
HE WAS BAILED OUT PARTLY BY OUR LAWS HERE IN
AMERICA, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BAILING HIS ASS OUT BY HAVING
THOSE LAWS IN PLACE IN THE FIRST PLACE TO BAIL HIM OUT.
BUT LET'S
GET TO THE HEART OF THE ISSUE.
YOU KNOW WHAT HIS DAD ACTUALLY
LEFT HIM?
HE DIDN'T GIVE HIM $1 MILLION.
THAT WAS IN THE
BEGINNING WHEN HE WAS A KID.
THAT WAS BASICALLY HIS
ALLOWANCE.
NO, HIS DAD, ACCORDING TO REPORTING ON THIS,
LEFT HIM ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40 TO $200 MILLION.
HE TOOK OVER HIS
DAD'S ORGANIZATION, WHICH WAS WORTH 200 MILLION, BUT LET'S BE
CONSERVATIVE AND SAY THAT HIS DAD GAVE MONEY TO HIS SIBLINGS
AS WELL AND GAVE IT IN AN EQUAL SHARE EVEN THOUGH DONALD TRUMP
WAS RUNNING THE ORGANIZATION.
EVEN IN THE MOST CONSERVATIVE
ESTIMATE, HIS DAD FLAT-OUT GAVE HIM $40 MILLION AND A GIANT
BUSINESS.
BUT HE SAYS IT WAS ALL ME, MAN.
I FOUGHT THROUGH ALL THE
NOS AND I AM THE HERO, I BUILT THE BUSINESS.
I BUILT THAT.
BY
THE WAY HIS DAD MADE A FORTUNE IN THE FIRST PLACE BY GETTING
LOANS FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
THE FEDERAL HOUSING
ADMINISTRATION.
THE ARROGANCE OF THESE GUYS KNOWS NO BOUNDS.
HE
JUST SPIT IN YOUR EYE RIGHT THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT?
ARE YOU GOING OUT THERE AND SAYING, YES, MASTER, I
WILL VOTE FOR YOU, YOU ARE THE BILLIONAIRE.
THAT IS WHAT HIS
REPUBLICAN BASE IS DOING RIGHT NOW.
HE IS THE BOSS, HE HAD IT
TOUGH, HE ONLY HAD A $1 MILLION LOAN FROM HIS DAD IN HIGH SCHOOL
AND THEN LATER ONLY GOT $40 MILLION.
OH, BOSS.
YOU ARE A
BILLION.
YOU ARE A BILLIONAIRE, I WILL VOTE FOR YOU.
THEN THEY
ADD, OF COURSE, [SPITTOON SOUNDBITE].
HE SPITS ON YOU AND
THE REPUBLICAN BASE THINKS IT'S RAINING.
WE NEEDED THIS RAIN,
FINALLY IT IS TRICKLING DOWN.
