Trump: My ‘Whole Life Has Been About Being Greedy’; Now I’ll Be Greedy for the U.S.

“...send it back to them. And a woman sends me a check for $17 and 50 cents, with a four page note. What do I do say? ‘Sorry, I’m not taking your money.’ So, it’s one of those things. You read the letter. You sit down all night and read those long letters. We get the longest letters from people because they want hope. And usually the less the money, the longer the letter. It’s really an interesting phenomena.

So, anyway — so, I’m not taking the money — I’m not taking the money, And I say, I say to myself, I really — and I really believe this, I know when you go into the booth you might like Trump, you might like somebody else but nobody says, well I sort of like Trump and I like the other guy too, but I’m going to vote for the other guy. I know that I don’t get credit for the fact that I’m the only one that’s not bought and paid for folks. It’s a big thing. (Cheering) It’s a big thing.

And you know, it’s hard for me because you know my whole life has been about taking money, right, taking money. I take, take, take, take, I’m a businessman, that’s what I’m supposed to do. My job is to take the money. My job is — in a sense I hate to say, to be greedy. And I’m greedy, I go like this — more and more, I want more and more and more. Now, I’m going to be greedy for the United States. (Cheering) I’m going to be really greedy for the United States.”
