I've heard it for years, if you're very successful you can't run for high office, especially for President. I said, I don't care, I don't care. I've done so many deals, I've done so well. It's a certain mindset that we need in America, at least for a period of time, we have to straighten our country out.

[People] have no jobs, they have horrible education, they have no safety or security, and I say to the African-American community, what the hell do you have to lose?

Whether they love me or don't love me, they think I know what I'm doing and that people aren't gonna be taking advantage of the country. So if I had my choice, I'd love to keep doing what I'm doing. The country is in serious, serious trouble, like it's never been before. And that's why I'm saying: Would I rather stay in Trump Tower? Would I rather stay and lead the life I'm leading - and you know something about my life. It's very good.

In the Trump administration we will end decades of policies that enrich special interests and foreign countries at our expense.

When Hillary Clinton tried to act holier than thou, it really doesn't work. It really doesn't.

I also notice the very nasty commercials that Hillary Clinton do on me in so many different ways, which I don't do on her. Maybe I'm trying to save the money.

I will bring our energy companies back. They'll be able to compete. They'll make money. They'll pay off our national debt. They'll pay off our tremendous budget deficits, which are tremendous.
