CSPAN2 Key Capitol Hill Hearings November 4, 2015

Supporters are passionate. But the thing is, would a party, the Democratic Party moved to him in the pinch . I have a hard time seeing that happen. Anyway, thank you for coming out, thank you united technologies. Take you very much. [applause] president ial candidate donald trump held a News Conference to promote his new book. He took questions from reporters and shared his thoughts on the president ial race. This is 35 minutes. Thank you louise, i appreciate it very much. Its a great honor. I want to thank simon and schuster, one of the most magnificent publishers for years and years. Ive heard about Simon Schuster as being a fabulous, i was going to say the roles royce or the harvard or the yale but they really are a great one. I want to thank you very much. You have given us such tremendous support. We did this quickly and we think it we did it very effectively. It has been an incredible experience. We wrote a book and the title, tripled americas very tough crippled americas very tough. I think one of the reasons we need to do what we need to do and one of the reasons we are doing so well in the campaign is weary tell it like it is and we tell the truth. America is crippled. We 017 and now 18 and very soon it will be 19 trillion in debt. We have a military that doesnt have proper instruction from leadership and we dont know what were doing. We are losing all over the world with trade deals with every country. Know matter what country you pick, they are beating us in trade. We cant go on like this any longer. It is impossible to go on like this any longer. I always mention, as an example, a trader. We get Sergeant Bergdahl and they get five of the people they wanted. They wanted them badly and thats not the way its going to work anymore. We will write about it in the book. We tell lots of different stories of lots of Different Things and i think its going to be very instructional and important to me which was instructional. When i did the deal, i think one of the reasons it was so successful, was that it was largely instructional. Even today when i speak, so many people hold up the book the art of the deal and the other books weve done. This is one that probably, not since the art of the deal, i have to tell this to louise, have i worked so hard on a book. It was in a confined. Of time that we wanted to get it out really, really quickly so that it pertains to whats going on right now. The moment of time. We got it done. David did a fantastic job. Wheres david . David did a fantastic job. All of my people did a fantastic job. They help me so much because we are doing a couple of other things right now so this was not easy getting the sin. But we see by the lines to park avenue, they been forming last night and im going to be signing books starting at 12 oclock, doing a couple of interviews and then signing books at 12 00 oclock. That will be a very exciting very exciting time for me. We have fans who have bought the book and they just bought it and some have been online for 12 and 14 hours. I dont know how they do it, but they do it. They find a way. Im looking looking forward to getting to the signing. Does anybody have any questions . Yes go ahead, katie. Well i think its a different book. We just had polls come out in iowa where i am leading. You saw the new pope from iowa . You saw the new poll in New Hampshire where im leading it. Im leading in georgia, texas, all over the place. Are doing well. If you add in that, were beating everybody by a lot. Were beating the establishment. The establishment has let us down. I dont know. I dont know how his book is doing. I think my book is very hardhitting. This is a different kind of a book and he is a different kind of person. My book is very hardhitting. It says it like it is. Based on what Simon Schuster just told me its selling like hot cakes. We are very different people. We have very different qualities. We are extremely different. Im different from all the other candidates. Look, nobody can negotiate trade deals like me. We are going to take the 400 billion a year that we are losing with china and thats going to be turned around. The 75 billion a year that we are short on with japan, the 50 billion a year that we lose to mexico, and thats right there will be a wall built. A wall will be built and it will go up. People come into the country legally. I much different. You look at marco rubio, very, very weak on immigration. You look at ben, hes weak on immigration and wants to get rid of medicare. You cant get rid of medicare. It would be a horrible thing to get rid of. It actually works. You get rid of the fraud, waste and abuse and it works. When a man is weak on immigration and wants to get rid of medicare, i dont know how he stays there. Go ahead john. [inaudible] no i think that marco is overrated. Frankly, had bush been a better messenger, he has a better message. That was me delivering that message, it wouldve been a much different story. Marco doesnt show up to the United States senate. He is representing the people of florida, which by the way that poll came out today and i am way up in florida over everybody. But marco is a a sitting senator and he doesnt show up for the people. I dont think he should be doing that. Bush gave a very weak message. It was poorly delivered. The facts are ultimately that marco will be hurt very badly. If you look at mr. Singer, you have to see where mr. Singer is coming from. When you see where he is coming from i think people will say whoa, we didnt know that. Look at marcos stance on illegal immigration. Its its really trouble for him. I dont see how he can win. Okay, yes, mark. [inaudible] marco rubios personal finances are discredited zero know his personal finances, all you have to do is look at his credit card. He is a disaster with his credit card. Ill tell you what, i love florida. Im in florida all the time. For years i have been hearing that his credit cards are a disaster. I would think when you take a look at it you will find that. His Credit Card Debt and his problems with credit card and what he did when he was running the Party Apparatus with credit cards, ive heard about it for years. You will have to find out. He has a very bad record of finances. If you look at what happened with his houses, he certainly lives above his means. Theres no question about that. Ill tell you what. I dont really care that much. I want a room, i want to podium. Lets get going because i dont really care that much. A lot of the people that are candidates and i respect many of them, not all of them but many of them, they felt it was very unfair because Hillary Clinton was given all softballs. I mean she wasnt asked one tough question. They didnt ask about the foundation or any of the problems. They didnt talk about the email problem, when that came up Bernie Sanders lost his whole campaign. What he did was so stupid. In order to get a one minute soundbite and some a a applause, thats where he gave up his campaign. People arent going to his rallies. Hes finished. Unless something happens, she will easily be the candidate. I will say this. She only got softballs. Thats all she got. If you look at the way we were treated, it wasnt the same way. With that being said, i dont really care. [inaudible] your name is . [inaudible] well i think the republicans actually are doing a pretty good job overall. They coalesced at the last debate because it really started with me, the guy asked me a question and i think he is probably finished as a credible reporter. He was a disaster. It was such a horribly put question and so obviously. The republicans coalesced around each other. It was actually pretty beautiful when you think about it. All we want to do is be treated fairly. With me, i dont care that much. Just give me a podium. What i would say is this. The networks have made a fortune because of me, not because of anybody else. They were saying that the last cycle they had 2,000,001,000,000 people in the networks didnt even want to broadcast because nobody watch. Nobody wanted to watch. Now they have 25 Million People, 24, 24 Million People, 23 Million People and 16 Million People. Give me a break. Somebody said how did they get there and actually variety and Hollywood Reporter do report the stuff pretty well. Much better than the political press. They said solely for one reason, it was trump. Ill take the credit. I think a Wounded Warriors and our veterans should be given some of the ed enormous profits being made on these debates, enormous profits. By the way anything beyond what they envision. Cnn was going to get 2000 for 32nd ad. They ended up getting 250,000. They went from 2000 to 250,000 for a 32nd ad. They are making a portion and i think they should give some of the profits to the Wounded Warriors and the veterans. Thats what i want. [inaudible] im giving them away. Im giving the profits of my book away to a lot of different organizations including the vet. Who are you with . Okay good. This is a new form of reporting. They used to come up with cameras. She came up with a cell form phone. Speak fast. Go ahead. [inaudible] i have been amazing with respect to the hiring of women. This building was built as the head person who was fantastic, by a woman and that was at a time when you didnt see that in the construction. I have many, many executives upstairs and in different buildings that i have that are women. Many at a proportion that is close to 50 or over 50 if i analyzed it. They get paid a lot of money and in many cases more than men doing the same job. Women have always appreciated that about me. In terms of employment, i have really been stand out and ive been honored for doing so well with women. Yes, go ahead. [inaudible] are you going to be voting . I dont think so so lets go. We dont have to worry about the french right now. Go ahead. [inaudible] what jeb bush was saying at the last debate . I dont know but he didnt say it well. What is your question there, behind you . [inaudible] your with telemundo, go ahead. I like telemundo. Im suing the other company for 500 million. Go ahead. Because the country is doing so poorly. The country is doing so poorly. Go ahead. [inaudible] thats good. They will have some demonstrations. Oh good because it will get even higher ratings if they do that. I think its fine. Look, i think they should demonstrate. Ratings will go even higher than they are going to be. Its going to be one of the highest rated shows ever and they are very excited about it. I have a great relationship, as you know from telemundo with the hispanics. You treated me very fairly. I won the pole recently in nevada and other polls. I think i got 37 in nevada and leading everybody. Ive got a great relationship with the hispanics. I have, working for me, thousands of hispanics. Ive had tens of thousands of people over the years working for me. I am job machine. One of the things that does come out of every single pole and survey is that nobody, for the economy, nobody is even close. I am two, three, four, five times greater than anybody else. You almost say its about the jobs, its about the economy and how will anybody be trump in all fairness question ive had a great relationship with rutgers and jobs and with the hispanics. I protect i will win the hispanic vote. I think i will win the hispanic vote. I predict yes, i think i will get the nomination and i will win the white house. I think eating Hillary Clinton is going to be easy because her record is so bad. Okay. Go ahead. [inaudible] thats the question i like. How am i preparing for my and out. Im meeting with Lorne Michaels in a little while. After here we are going to sign, i have thousands people in line, but we are going to sign and later on this evening im meeting with Lorne Michaels and will start the whole thing. Well pick this gets and we will have a fantastic show and we will all have a lot of fun. My jab impression . No i dont want to do that. I dont like to show a person sleeping at a podium. Tom is asking, can jeb make a comeback . I think it will be very hard. Not about money. I think i came up with the energy. We need Tremendous Energy because we need a person that has tremendous personal energy to get us back on track. You cant do that when you dont have that. I think marco is highly overrated. Highly overrated. He doesnt have it. All you have to do is look at his stance on things. Jeb, he lacks the quality that you need. Were talking about everybody in the world is ripping us off. You need a very strong person with strong energy. Thank you very much folks, ill take the job. But, by the way, ben carson does not have that energy. We need somebody with Tremendous Energy to straighten out the military, isis and our horrible trade deals, to terminate obamacare and come up with Something Better for far less money. You need someone with tremendous personal energy. We have a president that doesnt have energy. You think obama has Energy Question he has no energy. Hes been a horrible president. We need somebody with great personal energy so we can make great deals and do well in every other respect. Certainly jeb bush does not have that in my opinion. Im the guardian, oh, they treat me very nicely in scotland. Go ahead. Good, thank you. Well we just went over that, honestly. Its only going to make it hotter. Another question . Ahead. [inaudible] state again. You will see what we are going to do. The whole thing with anchor babies, i turned out to be right. A person has a baby, lives in mexico or asia or many different places, has a baby, walks across the baby and has the baby walks across the border and has the baby here and now were responsible for that child. I dont think so. They were right, i was right. They were wrong. If you wanted to do that in mexico or few wanted to do that in any other country where you have a baby in that country in that country has that person for 85 years, including all of the cost of that person, they would laugh you right out of the country. You would be laughed out of the country so fast. That turned out, i was a hundred right. Were going to take care of it and it will be done in a very humane way but we are going to bring back our country and have a wall and mexico is going to pay for the wall and you know why theyre going to pay . And i have great relationship with mexico. Phenomenal relationships with the mexican people. They buy apartments from me, they work for me by the thousands. Phenomenal relationships, but let me tell you, we lose so much money with mexico in terms of trade imbalance. 45 billion last year. Plus we give mexico billions and billions of dollars. They will pay for the wall. It will be very interesting. You know what, people will come into this country but theyre going to come in legally. Go ahead. Can you talk louder . Nobody can hear you. I know a lot of European Countries are going to build walls to stop immigration. Walls work. All you have to do is ask israel. Walls work if it is properly constructed. Not the walls that these politicians who are running our country who are a disgrace, all talk no action. They build a wall this big made drive a a car through. Walls work. All you have to do is build a wall that works. Go ahead. [inaudible] we need pop and circumstance. Good question actually. Our country has no spirit. Our country doesnt feel good about itself. The primary reason is we have no victories. Where have we had a victory . Where have we had ah aq victoryd trade question where have we had a victory as an example, this horrible deal that was signed with iran where were giving 150 billion and we lose everything. We lose everything. Its a laughing stock. Worse deal, worst contract ive ever seen. We have no victories. I do write about it. We need some pomp and circumstance but we need spirit. We need a cheerleader. I thought, seven years ago when obama got elected, the one thing i thought that he would be a great cheerleader for the country. Hes not. Hes hes been a great divider for the country. He has been one of the great dividers of all time. Im not saying dress. It has nothing to do with stress. It has everything to do with the fact that he is very divisive. He has been a great divider and that should not have happened. Yes. [inaudible] i will go anywhere they want. I dont care too much about the debates. Im the one who gets all the nasty questions anyway. Nobody else gets the really nasty questions. In a way maybe theyre defending me, but i dont think the doing it for that reason. I think its irrelevant. I think i like the debates and ive done well in the debates. Every single pole set i won all the debates. I dont know if i did or not, but i certainly didnt do badly. Even cnbc pole set i won the debate. I like the debates, i think theyre good for me, but we have to be treated a little bit fairly. As an example, Hillary Clinton, no tough questions. Why didnt they ask about bill. Why didnt they ask about all the Different Things. No tough questions. Now that was staged by the democrats. Frankly, they did a very smart thing in the way they staged it. While we are going to stage something properly also. As far as im concerned, i really dont care that much. I just want to debate. I think debating is a good thing and its healthy and it gets everything into the open. But you dont want people who read a question, in my opinion his careers probably ruined or threatened. You can ask about anything you want. Hillary had only softballs. All night long. It was like this, here hillary, hit this one over the park. Yeah, go ahead. [inaudible] are you from russia . Alright i think our relationship with russia will be very good. Vladimir putin was on 60 minutes with me three weeks ago. They have one of the highest ratings theyve had in a long time. Im going to give him total credit. We will have a very Good Relationship. I think with russia. Maybe we wont. But i believe we will have a very Good Relationship with russia. I believe i will have a very Good Relationship with vladimir putin. Go ahead. [inaudible] sounds
