You have to love the office and you have to love our country and what is going on right now.

The reason why Donald Trump does have a very strong base of popularity is he's an authentic person and not necessarily a politician.

You lower the [tax] rate, you will motivate and incentivize more people to put more capital at risk to create more jobs.

I think what Donald Trump is saying to people is that America has way more leverage at the negotiating table than America has used in the past. And whether you like it or not, the government and trade representatives have made the decision not to use that leverage. And it has had an economic impact on the lower and middle class.

Donald Trump has built a super successful business. He's an effective organizer. He's an effective execution-oriented executive. He has the right political personality to get on with people in a way that'll surprise people. He will cut deals in a way that are more favorable for America than what establishment politicians have done.

Let me give you really bad news, and I'm sure people will demonize me for saying this: the rich are always gonna be with us. They will always be with us. There are rich people in Cuba. There are rich people in Venezuela. You pick the policies, and the rich are gonna figure it out. They're always gonna be rich.

The President should be focused on making the lives of Americans better. It's what he promised. It's what the country needs.
