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

I want the American people to focus on is that we can generate a tremendous amount of energy revenues as result of new taxes coming off of the energy that's underneath the ground here in the United States.

In general, I think what Donald Trump's message is, is: I'm a very practical, execution-oriented entrepreneur who built a successful business. I've demonstrated an ability to go global with my business. I can get along with a lot of different people. There are certain problems in the United States right now born from faulty policy. So what is happening right now is the lower and middle class are being left behind by the globalization and by the global elite. I think that's basically his message, and Bernie Sanders' is similar.

You get growth in the United States, the rest of the world will grow.

I'm a straight-talking person. Did I make mistakes, absolutely. But I enjoy being a straight-up guy today and in the future.

Today, the message is that we have to help the middle class and the aspirational worker in the United States.

Donald Trump is a way better leader than Hillary Clinton.
