Trump: It’s a ‘Disgrace’ the Way the Omnibus Was Passed

CUOMO: “All right, Athena, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Joining us this morning, Republican presidential candidate Mr. Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump, do you have us on the phone?”
TRUMP: “I do.” 
CUOMO: “Happy New Year to you, sir.” 
TRUMP: “Well, thank you. I think we have plenty to talk about based on that introduction.” 
CUOMO: “Beautiful. We have the ad out this morning. It is simple. It is direct. Some will argue it is divisive. In it, you say that there must be a temporary ban of Muslims because of Islamic extremism. And you say we must build a wall, and Mexico will pay for it. How do you get those things done?” 
TRUMP: “Through competence, throughout knowing what to do, through knowing how to negotiate. Mexico is making an absolute fortune with this country. They are taking our money, like, left and right, because we have people that are incompetent running our country. All countries are taking advantage of us. I mean, you can look at virtually every country that does business with us, and I will tell you, Chris, they take our money because we have people that don’t know what they’re doing, or they get someone with another agenda. I don’t happen to believe that, but some of the deals are so bad, some of the deals are so stupid, that I would say they maybe have another agenda. You know, between their lobbyists and their special interests. Because unlike me, they all get money from big lobbyists and special interests. I don’t — I’m self-funding my campaign.” 
CUOMO: “So —“
TRUMP: “And it’s a disgrace what’s going on, and it’s a disgrace how our politicians are acting. And what they did last week with the budget was incredible. It went so fast. They went like a bullet. We’re talking about bullets and guns today. That went like a bullet, the way they approved that budget. And I have no idea why and how they approved such a horrible budget. Obama got every single thing he wanted, including having lots of people come into this country that shouldn’t be coming in.”
