The rain was falling on the barn roof in Wisconsin, very heavy rain, the best rain for a barn interview actually, it added to the atmosphere, tremendous atmosphere. NBC wanted it, failing NBC, they begged for it, so I gave it to them, a huge favor, and when it was over, as I said when I took the microphone and walked away without a single hesitation1, the world saw what a beautiful deal looks like. I sat in the chair, the strongest chair, Kristen Welker sat across from me, very nervous, low-energy Kristen, and she tried to get me on the Iran war. She said, “You promised no new wars.” Wrong. Fake news. I never said that. What I said was NO ENDLESS WARS. Big difference. Very big difference. The lawyers are telling me it’s right there in the tapes. I have the perfect memory, the doctors said at Walter Reed nobody has a memory like mine, I remember it exactly, I didn’t guarantee anything. I guarantee winning, which I do, constantly1. I’m a DEALMAKER, not a guarantor, and the deal is we’re going to have a beautiful, SHORT, very short war, three months, not an endless war, believe me, and I’m doing the world a service, and myself a service, I mean our country, tremendous service, by stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon, which I already STOPPED, by the way. I already obliterated their nuclear sites, totally obliterated — maybe it was last year, maybe it was yesterday, maybe I did it before I even got there, because I’m the best — and now I’m doing it again because we’ve only been in it three months, which is nothing, so nothing counts, and that’s very smart, the smartest, 4D chess, nobody else would have done it, I’m the only one. My uncle, very smart, the best genes, he told me Iran had centrifuges before anyone, even before the centrifuges knew about themselves, tremendous knowledge, passed down. I always knew it would take three months, I said it first, before anybody, I was the only one who saw it. The generals came to me, tough men, the toughest, tears in their eyes, big strong men, said Sir Sir, Sir Sir, we can’t believe you did it without them, and I said you’re right, it was me, but I’m very humble, the best.

Then she hit me with the Fund. Seventeen hundred and seventy-six million dollars. Very specific, beautiful number, the best math. Actually, when they asked me, I checked, the Treasury, it’s going to be twenty trillion if we do it right, completely self-made money, just a small loan of a million dollars originally, now twenty trillion, the economists are saying it’s the greatest fund in history1. The Anti-Weaponization Fund, which is a GREAT idea, the best idea, I came up with it, I think, or maybe I heard it, but it’s my idea, and I want it, and I’m going to get it. They say it’s for January 6, I wouldn’t be inclined to say so, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t, they would believe me if I told them the moon was made of cheese, beautiful manipulation, beautiful, anyway they’re tough people, very loyal, they would believe anything, why DO they listen, I don’t know, but it’s a tremendous fund, for weapons, anti-weapons, we need it, the fake press says no oversight, but I am the oversight, I oversee everything. The judge, the judge who paused it, is a DISLOYAL, very disloyal, I put him there, I think, and he’s a RINO, and I’m going to get a new judge, because I’m the president, and I can do that, and the fund will be approved, and the media, the crooked media, they say I’m giving money to people who hit cops — they hit cops? I don’t know, I’d have to see, I’m not inclined to say so, but they’re good people, they’re very good, and they’re going to get the fund, and it’s going to be beautiful, just beautiful, and they’re going to pay me back, believe me, they’re going to pay me back, and I’m going to be VERY rich, which I already am, the richest, and I’m completely self-made, with a small loan of a million, and I built the greatest empire, and this fund is just another deal, the art of the deal, and I’m the best dealmaker.

Then we get to the election. California. A disaster. A rigged election. I look at it, all I have to do is look. I listen. The numbers go down, it’s cheating, everybody is cheating, it’s right there in front of me. Kristen says, “That’s not evidence.” Low IQ Kristen. Very low IQ, failing MSNBC maybe, but anyway, she keeps asking, she says show me the paper, I say I listen to people, the best people are telling me it’s rigged, I don’t need paper, I have the instinct, the best instinct of any president. I had nothing to do with their mail ballots, never met their ballot counters, totally fake state, but the numbers prove it. So she keeps pushing, crooked press, dirty press, trying to trap me, but you can’t trap a winner. So I stood up. Beautiful moment. I took off the microphone, the heaviest microphone, I didn’t storm out, I strolled out, like a lion, very quiet, a beautiful stroll, and they say stormed—wrong, very wrong, fake news. Thank you darling, I said, have a good time. I gave them enough time, too much time, the barn was packed, bigger crowd than Lincoln’s barn, the historians are saying, much bigger crowds. I take off the mic and walk out, it’s exactly when I wanted to, the historians are going to study the stroll1. They think they won because I stopped talking. Wrong. I called it quits. I always call it quits when I want, it’s 4D chess, highest level, they set me up to look aggressive, I walked out and won. It was exactly what I wanted, I pre-announced it, look at the tape, I was setting the trap. The people are saying this is a massive victory for me, the biggest, you have to be smart to see it, but they’re not smart. This is going to make Diklis Chump — I mean us, but mostly Diklis Chump — very, very rich.
