Our way of life, our government defines the way America is. I mean, it's not luck.

There is no news media. There's simply a bunch of people on television and in newspapers who are ranking members of the Democrat Party.

My point is Trump is Trump. He's the same guy wherever he is. But the reporting on him on Middle East trip is nowhere near like the reporting on Trump when he's in Washington. There aren't any leaks. For example, we haven't yet seen a story quoting unnamed sources in the Saudi government saying that the king was profoundly embarrassed when Trump asked if there was a McDonald's nearby.

We haven't been leading anybody. We've been acquiescing to a bunch of linguini-spined leftists all over the world, at the United Nations, in NATO, wherever it is. The people who don't even pay for their own defense. The people that don't even believe in guns and bullets to protect yourself are the people we have been acquiescing to. And they think this is called leadership. Leadership is sponsoring America's decline. Leadership is administering America's decline. Leadership is admitting that America's superpower status was never deserved or warranted.

You're safer not believing what you read in the New York Times. I don't care what it's about, but certainly that you're safer not believing anywhere in the mainstream media the general thrust of this story, that the Russians wanted Donald Trump to win and hacked the Democrats and embarrassed John Podesta and Hillary Clinton and succeeded.

Business success is not determined by government policy. It's not determined by regulation. The people succeed in business have to overcome all the obstacles put in their way by people like Democrats and Obama. That's what Trump knows, how to overcome these guys, how to get the things they put in his way out of the way, while they don't even know it's happening. And that would go for much of the political commentariat, too, folks, that are totally immersed in politics and know nothing else, other than they swear allegiance to free markets, but that's about it.

The Republicans need to work on registration and getting out their vote and their early voters and absentees. Grassroots stuff.
