Trump: ‘We Need Smart, Tough People’ to ‘Bring Our Country Back’

‘I know people that are so tough and smart ... you don’t just need tough ... you need a combination’

"Just like--I don't want a salary. If I win, I don't want-- somebody said to me the other day would you want your salary if you become president? I said: I never thought of it. I said, no, I don't want it. I don't want it. These guys don't want anything. They actually want to help. They want to do something. And I know people that are so tough and smart. You don't just need  tough. I was saying the other day, they should owe you one tough in terms of speaker. You want tough? And I said, no, I don't want tough. I want tough and smart. Tough is no good. I know too many tough people that are not smart. You need a combination, right? Right. But we need a combination. We need smart, tough people. We've got to bring our country back because we can't go on like this. We can't go on like this."
