Trump: ‘I Could Announce 50-100 Deals Right Now Because I’m the Shopkeeper and I Keep the Store’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Well, I could announce all of them now. I could announce 50 to 100 deals right now because, you know, I’m the shopkeeper and I keep the store. And, you know, I know what countries are looking for and I know what we’re looking for. And I can just set those terms and they can go shopping or they don’t have to go shopping because everybody wants to shop here. This is like a beautiful store. This is like one of Bernard Arnault, maybe I should say Alex, even more importantly, the future. But Bernard, it’s an honor to have you, we have a meeting after this. But he has the greatest stores in the world and they want to shop. Our country is the greatest store in the world of that kind. And everybody wants a piece of it. And they took advantage of us for years because we allowed presidents — our presidents allowed it to happen. You know, I don’t blame China and I don’t blame Vietnam. And I could name every single country all the way up and down the line, South Korea. Every single country took advantage of us, without exception.”
