Trump Cites His Completion of FEC Paperwork as Evidence He’d Be a Good President

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

DONALD TRUMP: "Everybody said, he's not going to run. You remember that, right? Never gonna run. Then they said, eh, but he's never going to file his papers. Not the financial papers. I had to sign my life away with one page. It says your signing your life away. They said, he'll never sign that. Then I signed that. He announced he's running, we had the event, now he signed the paper. Then they did say, he's never going to file his financial documents. Because he's probably not as rich as people think, right? So then I filed 90 -- I think it's 98 or 102 pages of financials. And it was much, much bigger than anybody anticipated. Actually, I wanted to file the financials. Because, you know, I'm sort of a bragger. [ Laughter and applause ] 

"No, I actually wanted people -- yeah, I'm a private company, these people are analyzing. One of them analyzed he's only worth $3 billion. But we haven't been able to look at about 200 of his corporations. So I filed the papers and they were spectacular. And I did a great job. And the reason I tell you that is not to say, I did a great job. It's to say that we need somebody with that mentality to straighten out our country."
