Trump: ‘I Just Sold an Apartment for $15 Million to Somebody from China’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

DONALD TRUMP: "I want to tell you the story. A friend of mine is a great manufacturer and calls me up a few weeks ago and he is very upset. I said what is your problem? And he said I make great product and I said I know that. He said I cannot get it into China, they will not accept it, I sent a vote over and they will not accept it. They talked about environmental and other crap that has nothing to do with this. I said that is terrible. Does anyone know? And he said yeah, they do it all of the time. I got it over there and they charged me a tariff. They charge a tariff on trucks and other things. Ask bowing they wanted bowing's secrets before agreeing to buy planes from bowing. I just sold on apartment for $15 million to somebody from China. Am I supposed to dislike them? I own a big chunk of the bank of America building at 1290 avenue of the Americas that I got from China in a war. Very valuable. The biggest bank in the world is from China. Their headquarters are located in the building. In trump tower. I love China. But their leaders are much smarter than our leaders and we cannot sustain ourselves with that. It is like take the patriots and Tom Brady and have them play our high school football team. That is the difference between China's leaders and our leaders."
