DOCUMENT AND PAPERS AND —
>> President Trump: WE’LL SEE
WHAT HAPPENS, I HEAR HAMAS
SHIELD, IF THEY DO THAT, THEY’LL
BE IN BIG TROUBLE.
THEY PUT IT OUT TWO DAYS AGO
THEY WILL USE THE HOSTAGES AS
H
HUMAN SHIELDS.
THAT HASN’T BEEN DONE FOR A LONG
TIME, YOU KNOW.
LET ME TELL YOU, IF THEY DO
THAT, THEY ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.
>> WHO DO YOU BELIEVE THE
FEDERAL RESERVE IS AN
INDEPENDENT BODY?
>> President Trump: IT SHOULD
BE.
I THINK THEY SHOULD LISTEN TO
SMART PEOPLE LIKE ME, I HAVE
BETTER INSTINCT THAN HIM.
ALL THE ECONOMISTS GOT IT WRONG,
I GOT IT RIGHT ALONG WITH ONE
OTHER PERSON OUT OF 100.
THEY SHOULD LISTEN.
>> PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU —
>> President Trump: NO IDEA.

BEGINNING THIS GROUND OFFENSIVE

GUARDS, HAMAS WILL HAVE HELL TO
PAY.

DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE?

RELATIONSHIP IS VERY GOOD WITH
U.K. AND CHARLES, WHO IS KING,

HAS EVER HAPPENED, SOMEONE
HONORED TWICE.
THIS IS A GREAT HONOR, THEY HAVE
NEVER USED WINDSOR BEFORE, THEY
USE BUCKINGHAM PALACE,
WINDSOR IS THE ULTIMATE.
THEY WANT TRADE, THEY WANT TO
REFINE THE TRADE DEAL A BIT.
I AM INTO HELPING THEM.
OUR COUNTRY IS DOING WELL, WE
ARE HAVING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS
COME IN BECAUSE OF THE TARIFFS,
THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET A LITTLE
BETTER DEAL.
WE’LL TALK TO THEM.
PRIMARILY TO BE WITH CHARLES AND
CAMILLA.

REPRESENTS THE COUNTRY WELL.

ANNOUNCE THAT, A GROUP OF
COMPANIES WANT TO BUY IT.
I HAD PARENTS CALLING ME UP,

PAYING 15%.
CHIPS CAN BE MORE.
PHARMACEUTICALS CAN PAY MORE,
THERE IS BIGGER MARGIN.
CAR, YOU HAVE TO MAKE 15% BEFORE
YOU MAKE A PROFIT, IT IS PRETTY
TOUGH.
DON’T FORGET, EUROPEAN UNION IS
PAYING OUR COUNTRY 950 BILLION.
THINK OF THAT, WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT A YEAR.
950 BILLION.
JAPAN PAYING $650 BILLION.
COUNTRIES THAT PAID NOTHING

PAYING US A TREMENDOUS TARIFF.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE TARIFF IS
RIGHT?
WHAT?
>> 30% FOR FENTANYL, AS WELL AS
WHATEVER FOR —
>> President Trump: 20%, BUT
OVERALL ABOUT 55%.
THAT IS OPPOSED TO NOTHING,

DIFFERENCE?
WE HAVE A BIG DECISION COMING UP
AND IF THE SUPREME COURT RULES
THE WAY THEY WILL BECAUSE I
MEAN, EVERY LEGAL EXPERT SAID WE
WIN THAT CASE.
YOU STILL HAVE TO WATCH.
SUPREME COURT HAS BEEN TERRIFIC,
I THINK THEY ARE VERY FAIR.

WIN.
IF WE WIN THE SUPREME COURT CASE
FINALIZATION OF TARIFFS, WE WILL
BE THE RICHEST COUNTRY ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD AND WILL BE ABLE TO
HELP OUR PEOPLE MORE AND HELP
OTHER COUNTRIES WHEN WE WANT TO.
IF WE WIN THIS CASE, OUR
COUNTRY, YOU SEE WHAT WE’VE
TAKEN IN ON A TEMPORARY BASIS,
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TRILLIONS
WITH A T.
WE WILL BE BY FAR THE RICHEST
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
ONE OTHER THING, WE’LL HAVE
TREMENDOUS POWER TO NEGOTIATE.
THE USE OF TARIFFS, I SETTLED
SEVEN WARS, FOUR OF THEM, I WAS
ABLE TO USE TARIFFS.
>> [INDISCERNIBLE] — IN SALARY

A LOT.
IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO.
THOSE ARE TWO PEOPLE, ZELENSKYY

WHAT DO YOU HOPE COMES FROM HIS
TESTIMONY?

IT TOOK OTHER SIMILAR CASES,
FOUR DAYS, FIVE DAYS, FOUR
YEARS, I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
EVERYBODY IN THE ADMINISTRATION.
MY ADMINISTRATION AND A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT, NOT JUST
ME, SO FAR THE BEST
ADMINISTRATION EVER FORMED.
LOOK AT OUR FINANCIAL PEOPLE,
OUR COUNTRY IS MAKING A FORTUNE.
WE HAVE TO KEEP TARIFFS BECAUSE
OUR COUNTRY IS BECOME SUCCESSFUL
BECAUSE OF TARIFFS.
WE HAVE THE CASE IN THE SUPREME
COURT COURT, VITAL FOR SUCCESS
OF OUR COUNTRY.
VITAL TO NEGOTIATE WITH OTHER
COUNTRIES AND OTHER COUNTRIES
CHARGE US TARIFFS, IF WE WIN
THAT CASE, OUR COUNTRY WILL BE
BY FAR THE RICHEST COUNTRY
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
WE CAN HELP OUR PEOPLE, GET RID
OF DEBT AND HELP OUR PEOPLE AND
OTHER COUNTRIES WHEN THEY NEED
IT.
>> VENEZUELA, IF PRESIDENT
MADURO THINKS YOU ARE GETTING
READY TO INVADE, WHAT IS YOUR
MESSAGE TO THIS.
>> President Trump: STOP SENDING
TREN DE ARAGUA TO THE UNITED
STATES.
STOP SENDING DRUGS INTO THE
UNITED STATES.
WE KNOCKED OFF THREE BOATS, NOT
TWO, YOU SAW TWO.
THERE ARE FEW BOATS OUT ON THE
WATER.
NOT A LOT OF BOATS ON THE WATER,
NOBODY WANTS TO GO TAKE A FISH.
IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
I WOULD SAY TO THEM STRONGLY,
STOP SENDING PEOPLE FROM YOUR
PRISONS INTO OUR COUNTRY.
THEY ARE SENDINGS PRISONERS.
THEY HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY,

MONTH WITH ZERO PEOPLE GETTING

NOBODY HAS EVER DONE ON THE
BORDER LIKE I’VE DONE.
>> YOU SAID TO PRESIDENT

[INDISCERNIBLE] — OCCUPY THE
WHITE HOUSE.
HOW MUCH WEALTHIER ARE YOU NOW

MADE OTHER THAN MY KIDS ARE
RUNNING MY BUSINESS.
MOST DEALS WERE MADE BEFORE.
I BUILD BUILDINGS, DO YOU SEE
THAT AREA, THAT IS GOING TO BE
THE GREATEST BALLROOM ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD.
IT GIVES ME PLEASURE TO DO IT
FOR THE COUNTRY AND I’M PAYING
FOR IT.
THE COUNTRY IS NOT AND THAT IS
EXCESSIVE BALLROOM, I THINK IT
WILL COST $250 MILLION.
SO 150 YEARS THEY WANTED A
BALLROOM AND NOW THEY WILL HAVE
IT AND IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS
OFF.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP, AS PRESIDENT
IN OFFICE, SHOULD YOU ENGAGE
IN —
>> President Trump: I’M NOT, MY
KIDS ARE RUNNING — WHERE ARE
YOU FROM?
LOVE AUSTRALIANS, YOU ARE
HURTING AUSTRALIA VERY MUCH

THEY WANT TO GET ALONG WITH ME.
YOUR LEADER IS COMING TO SEE ME
SOON, I’M GOING TO TELL HIM
ABOUT YOU, YOU SET A BAD TONE.
YOU CAN SET A NICER TONE.
QUIET.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, WHAT DO YOU
HEAR ABOUT THE OPERATION IN
GAZA?
>> President Trump: I’M HEARING
THEY WANT TO GO IN AND HAMAS
WANT TO TAKE 20 HOSTAGES PLUS
DEAD BODIES, ABOUT 32 OF THEM
AND PUT THEM IN THE WAY OF ANY
ATTACK.
NOBODY IS HAPPY ABOUT THAT
SITUATION, IT CAME OUT
YESTERDAY, I’M SURE YOU SAW
THAT.
SUPPOSEDLY THEY HAVE TAKEN
HOSTAGES OUT OF DEEP CAVES AND
TUNNELS AND PUTTING THEM ON THE
FRONTLINE.

HEART.
ABC PAID ME FOR FORM OF HATE
SPEECH, YOUR COMPANY PAID ME 16
MILLION FOR A FORM OF HATE
SPEECH, MAYBE THEY’LL GO AFTER
YOU.
WE WANT EVERYTHING TO BE FAIR,
IT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR AND RADICAL
LEFT HAS DONE DAMAGE TO THE
COUNTRY.
WE ARE FIXING IT, WE HAVE THE
HOTTEST COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD AND REMEMBER, ONE YEAR
AGO, OUR COUNTRY WAS DEAD AND
NOW WASHINGTON, D.C. IS FIXED.
I FIXED IT.
THE MAYOR WAS FINE, JUST FINE,
OKAY.
THE MAYOR HAD A SICK CITY, SHE’S
BEEN MAYOR FOR MANY YEARS.
THE ONE THAT FIXED IT IS ME AND
MY PEOPLE.
YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR BEAUTIFUL
WIFE TONIGHT AND HAVE DINNER.
YOU WON’T BE ACCOSTED OR LOOKED
AT INCORRECTLY BY ANYBODY.
WASHINGTON, D.C. AND NOW WE’RE
GOING TO MEMPHIS, IT IS PRETTY
ROUGH.
A FRIEND OF MINE, A BIG
RAILROADER STOPS AT ALL THE
CITIES AND SAID, SIR, YOU HAVE
TO SAVE CHICAGO.
I WILL GO TO CHICAGO, AGAINST
PRITZKER.
PRITZKER IS NOTHING.
IF PRITZKER WAS SMART, HE WOULD
SAY PLEASE COME IN.
OVER LAST WEEK AND A HALF, 11
PEOPLE IN CHICAGO WERE KILLED,
MURDERED AND 38 SHOT.
THEN PRITZKER AND THIS IS GOING
ON CONSTANTLY.
IF THEY LOSE SIX OR SEVEN PEOPLE
PER WEEK TO MURDER, THEY ARE
DOING A GREAT JOB IN THEIR
OPINION.
CHICAGO IS A DEATH TRAP AND I’M
GOING TO MAKE IT LIKE D.C.
MAN COMES INTO MY OFFICE, ONE OF
THE BIGGEST BUSINESS MEN, RUNS
UNION PACIFIC, BIGGEST IN THE
WORLD, I GUESS.
HE STARTED AS A RAILROADER, IN A
CABOOSE AND NOW RUNS THE WHOLE
THING.
45 YEARS AGO STARTED IN A
CABOOSE.
HE BECAME THE TOP, GOOD PLACE TO
START.
HE CAME IN, HE KNOWS THE COUNTRY
I
INTIMATELY.
THEY WANT TO BUY THAT RAILROAD,
PRETTY POPULAR.
I SAT AND TALKED.
YOU KNOW EVERY CITY.
I GO INTO EVERY CITY AND HAVE
FOR 45 YEARS.
I SAID, WHERE WOULD YOU GO NEXT?
HE SAID ST. LOUIS IS IN BIG
TROUBLE, CHICAGO, YOU CAN SAVE
CHICAGO, DON’T LET CHICAGO DIE.
GREAT KNOWLEDGE.
HE SAID, DON’T LET CHICAGO DIE,
IT’S DYING, DON’T LET IT DIE.
GOING TO CHICAGO NEXT.
>> THE UAE, MR. PRESIDENT,
WHAT —
>> President Trump: I JUST WANT
SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, WHETHER
FEDERAL, STATE, MOST LIKELY IT
WILL BE STATE, QUESTION IS
WHETHER OR NOT WE OVERLAP WITH A
FEDERAL JUDGE.

AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE JUDGE,
WE’LL WORK WITH THEM, WE MAY OR
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO.

DEEP DARK HOLES THAT ARE
CANCEROUS, ABSOLUTELY.
BEYOND CANCER, IT IS DEATH.

GREAT DECISION, IT WAS A RIGGED
CASE TO START WITH.
IT IS GREAT.

DISASTER WITH THE BOYFRIEND SHE

BUT HE NEVER DID IT BEFORE.
SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED.
FORGET ME, WHAT FANI WILLIS DID
TO INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT LOVE OUR
COUNTRY, BY INDICTING THEM AND
DESTROYING THEM, SHE SHOULD BE
PUT IN JAIL.
SHE’S A CRIMINAL.
FANI WILLIS IS A CRIMINAL.

I DON’T WANT THEM PURCHASING
RUSSIAN OIL AND THEY HAVE TO
STOP IMMEDIATELY.
THEY ARE PURCHASING RUSSIAN OIL
AND WE HAVE TO DO — NOW NICE
PART, IT DOESN’T COST ANYTHING
ANYMORE.
THEY ARE BUYING EVERYTHING FROM
US, UNLIKE BIDEN WHO GAVE AWA
350 BILLION, WE MAKE MONEY.
I DON’T WANT TO MAKE MONEY, I
WANT THAT WAR TO STOP.
LAST WEEK 7018 PEOPLE GOT

I’VE STOPPED SEVEN WARS IN EIGHT
MONTHS, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
EASIEST, BUT IT IS NOT.
