Trump on Being a ‘Puppeteer’ of Politicians: ‘I’m One of the Greats’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

REPORTER: "Your critique of him being a puppet. You admit that you were essentially a puppeteer." 
TRUMP: "Yeah, I was one of the greats. Now I'm on the other side. Many of the people that gave to Jeb and Hillary are friends of mine or enemies. They're not the people that that are doing it because they like the color of his hair. They are highly big killers. When they give millions to Jeb, they have him like a puppet. He will do whatever they want. He is a puppet. With me I had a lobbyist call me up. Friend of mine and smart as well. He said Donald I want to put 5 million in the campaign. I said no, I don't need it or want it. I don't want it because when you come back to me in two years and you want help for a company that you're representing or a country that you're representing, I am going the right thing for the people of the United States, and I don't want to have to insult you. I appreciate it. I don't want the $5 million. I am turning down so much money, but if he put it up, I would feel obligated. I am a loyal person. Jeb Bush and all of them. I am not talking of just Jeb Bush but Hillary. Nobody played the game better than me. I know the game from the other side, and that's the way that it works."
