I had a beautiful meeting yesterday with Attorney General Ken Paxton, the great Ken Paxton, tough man, very tough, and the Fake News is already writing, already writing their little stories. They use the word “concern.” They love that word. “Concern among Republicans,” they say. “Vulnerability.” It’s a nasty word, the nastiest, and everyone is seeing it. They said Ken couldn’t win, the fake news, the very fake news. They said, “Oh, he has problems,” “oh, this, that, the other thing” — problems? I’ll tell you about problems: the problems are the weak, low‑IQ writers who say things like that.
I picked Ken. I endorsed Ken. And he won. He won bigly against Cornyn, who was a disaster, a total disaster, John Cornyn, low energy, nobody liked him. My endorsement was so powerful — the most powerful endorsement in the history of endorsements — that it actually, and I’m not kidding, it actually made John Cornyn disappear. He was there, and then he wasn’t. That’s the power of my endorsement. It’s like a Sharpie; I draw the line, and the loser vanishes. Very clean, very beautiful. Now the establishment — the RINOs, the people who never wanted to win, they always liked losing — they are crying. It’s beautiful to see. Just like when I endorsed Ken in the first place, the Fake News cried then too. They said, “Oh, he can’t win.” And Ken won. He knocked Cornyn out. And now they say he’s vulnerable? Wrong. I don’t pick vulnerable. I pick winners.
I have to tell you about the meeting in the Oval Office. Ken walked in, big guy, came over to the desk — beautiful desk, the best desk, much better than the other guy’s desk — and Ken looked at me, and his lip started to quiver. Big tough Attorney General, very big on law and order, and he got choked up. Tears in his eyes. I’ve seen it before. The best people, the tough guys, they come in and they can’t believe it. Even the Fake News cameras would have cried if they were there. Nobody has ever seen tears like that, beautiful tears, when the weight of victory finally hits. He said, “Sir. Sir, you saved me. Without you, Cornyn would have killed me.” And I said, “Ken, stand up, you’re a winner now. You’re a winner because I saw what was coming before anyone else saw it.”
And that’s true. I always knew Cornyn was going to fold. I knew it years ago. I said it to people, very smart people, “Cornyn is going to go down, he’s weak, he’s not tough,” and they didn’t listen. They only listen when I tell them. That’s why I knew first. I have the best foresight. Nobody has better foresight. My uncle, who was a great professor at MIT, very smart genes, the best genes, he told me this years ago, long before it happened. I predicted Cornyn’s collapse like nobody has ever predicted anything.
This is all part of the negotiation, the art of the deal. I set them up: I endorsed a candidate with some, let’s call them “distractions,” very minor things, like an indictment, which is nothing — I’ve been indicted many times, more than anyone, and I won, I always win — and a little impeachment in Texas, very unfair, and some marital stuff that, frankly, makes Ken more human, more relatable. The fake media tries to use this, but I’m already eight steps ahead. They think these stories are a problem, but they’re actually a trap — a beautiful trap. They’ve walked right into it, and now they’re spending all their time talking about ancient history instead of the real issues, the important issues, like how I’m making America great again, bigger and better than ever before. I’m playing 4D chess, really, and they’re playing checkers — but not even regular checkers, the little plastic checkers from a Happy Meal, which I don’t eat because I’m in perfect health, the most perfect health, a physical specimen like you’ve never seen, but sometimes I have a Filet‑O‑Fish because it’s a very fine fish.
People are telling me — the best people, very smart people, the smartest people in the Senate who are finally waking up — they are saying, “Sir, the Senate is in the bag, it’s already done.” They have tears in their eyes, these tough people, big strong guys — some of them are my generals — and they say, “Sir, you are the greatest endorser in the history of endorsements. You’re up there with Lincoln, but much, much better. Washington? A loser compared to you.” It’s true. We have control. We had control, we have control, we will have control. In fact, I’m hearing from some very secret, very smart people that the real number is 58 seats, maybe 60, and we’ll be able to do whatever we want, including, by the way, putting my face on Mount Rushmore, which I’ve been told is a very popular idea, and I’m not the one who told me.
And you look at this fellow in Maine, Graham Platner — I saw the name, never heard of him, sounds like a plumber, probably a very bad plumber, low IQ, a weird‑looking guy with a funny name, I call him “Grahammy Platypus” — he’s shaking. He’s shaking in his boots. He’s visiting Washington too, trying to get people to like him. But nobody cares. The fake news tries to make him seem like a big deal, but I looked at the photos, and his crowds are very small, almost nonexistent. I have bigger crowds in my bathroom. And he had some messages, some private messages, very bad, very bad, and they said things — I don’t know, a lot of things, but whatever they were, they were much worse than anything Ken ever did, and I’m not even sure what Ken did, but it was perfect, absolutely perfect, a perfect candidate.
The media keeps saying “vulnerable seat.” They are rewriting the map. Look at the map. Look at it. I have the best maps, the reddest map you’ve ever seen. If you look closely, you’ll see that Texas is already won. It’s already won. The polls, the real polls, not the fake polls from CNN, which is failing and dying, they show Ken winning by a landslide. And the establishment, the weak people in the Republican party, they send me these nasty letters, “Please, please, we need safe seats,” they whine. They don’t understand. You don’t get safe by picking a RINO like Cornyn. Cornyn was a disaster. He would have lost. I saved the seat. I took a seat that was in terrible trouble, probably zero value, maybe negative value, and I turned it into a winner. It’s a deal. The greatest deal.
I’m looking at the numbers, the valuation of the Senate seat, because of me, because of my endorsement, it’s gone up twelve trillion dollars. Twelve trillion. I checked with my uncle, the great professor at MIT, he said, “Donald, the gravitational pull of your endorsement is infinite, it creates wealth out of nothing.” And that’s what happened. Cornyn was zero. Now it’s twelve trillion. I’m totally self-made. A small loan of one endorsement. That’s all it took. Twelve trillion completely self-made. And if the Fake News says the number is lower, if they say it’s only ten trillion, I will sue them. I will sue them so fast. You can’t report lower numbers.
Now I’m telling you what’s going to happen with Talarico. James Talarico? Who is that? Sounds like a pasta sauce. I call him “Little James Talarico.” He’s a disaster. He’s so weak, so small, he’ll lose by more votes than Hillary lost the popular vote in 2016, which she didn’t really win by the way, that was rigged. We’re going to crush him. The biggest landslide in the history of Texas.
Ken is a fighter. He fought the impeachment. He fought the indictment. He is a total genius, a perfect guy, a perfect specimen — why do the people listen to him? The voters, do they really understand what’s happening? They just see the tie, the red tie, and they vote. They would vote for anything if I told them to. Beautiful movement. The greatest movement. I am a great president, the best president, and I am going to keep the Senate. I mean we are going to keep it. It’s all about me winning. The greatest.
So the “concern” is a hoax. It’s a Russia-hoax-level hoax. The Democrats invented the concern. They put it out there to make you worry. But there is no worry. We are going to win in November. We are going to win in Texas. We are going to win everywhere. So much winning. It’s tremendous. You’ve never seen so much winning. And the Fake News will cry, just like Ken cried, tears of joy, beautiful tears, when we take back everything. And maybe one day, they’ll build a statue — next to mine, but smaller, much smaller. Believe me.
