Trump wine, Trump Water and a butcher block of Trump Steaks line the podium where Donald Trump is about to speak about his victories today in Michigan and Mississippi.
This is a small press conference with a limited number of invited guests.
He enters to big cheers. He's never had such horrible lies spread about him in one week. The public is brilliant, they knew they were lies immediately. [More...]
I just wanted to tell you it was an amazing week. I want to congratulate some people including the candidates. It's very important as a Republican that our Senators and Congress people get re-elected. It's essential to be effective. It's the single biggest story in politics today. The turnout has been massive every week.
His voice is extremely calm, like he's have a normal conversation with just a few intimates.
He raps the Dems' voting turnout saying theirs is down and ours is up. He says Dems are turning out for Republicans.
He thanks the special interests and lobbyists because they obviously did something to get these numbers.
Paul Ryan called him this week and Trump says he has a lot of respect for him. Cruz rarely beats him and he's going to have a tough time in New York, New Jersey, etc.
Chris Christie was a great prosecutor. (Oh oh, is he our new Attorney General under Trump -- or will it be (even worse) Jeanine Pirro?)
Mitt Romney is a very nice man. He stops people from boo-ing Romney. (Note that a pattern is developing. He's nasty as can be to anyone who attacks him....until it becomes clear the attack will fail. Then he voices sympathy for the guy, saying it's understandable, he had a rough go of it (in Mitt's case, he lost, it must have been very hard.)
He is now showing off the Trump products, the steaks, the magazine. He throws one to someone in the audience. He sold Trump airline and made a great deal (very complicated.) It was a phenomenal deal. He'll win the Trump lawsuit.
(By the way, John Kasich is second in Michigan, ahead of Ted Cruz and crushing Mark Rubio.)
On Trump University, he rarely settles lawsuits. "Lawyers learn, you don't settle lawsuits, they don't sue." (What an over-generalization.)
He has the largest vineyard and winery on the East coast. He offers the press some wine. Trump University will start up as soon as he wins the lawsuit. If he's President, his kids will do it.
Advertising is not as important as confidence. Lindsay Graham is a nasty person. He doesn't know anything about the war. Every single person who has attacked him has gone down. We went from 17 down to 4. And most of the 4 are gone, they didn't do well tonight. He said Megyn Kelly even said Trump did well tonight. He thanks her and the Fox camera pans to her and she's grinning from ear to ear (what did she do to her hair? She looks like a boy with eye makeup.)
He trashes "Lyin' Ted" and "Little Marco." He points out Marco called Cruz a liar during a debate. Politicians lie. They talk to their superpacs even though they aren't supposed to.
He loves Florida (repeats it two more times.) He loves Ohio, he has so many friends there, it's an amazing place.
Then we're going to beat Hillary Clinton.
Once again he doesn't mention John Kasich. Is there any chance Kasich is escaping his wrath because he's going to offer him the VP slot? That might be his smartest move right now, making a Trump administration seem less dangerous. It would also allay some criticism there's no experience on the ticket.
Hillary is an easy target. She will be easy to beat. If she's allowed to run.
He's had a good relationship with Rubio until 2 weeks ago when he became negative. It didn't work.
"I have much more money than all of them put together times 20." He has spent less money than anyone else. The WSJ poll was the most disgusting poll he's ever seen. They shouldn't pay the bill. He says he never pays bills when somebody does a bad job. The WSJ poll had him in first place but it was the worst poll.
He touts some ad by an opponent as being good for him. He can be more presidential than anybody. He is more presidential than anyone other than Abe Lincoln.
He mocks a reporter who asked what he thinks is a bad question (we can't hear the questions, only his answers.)
I'm bored with Donald, signing out.
