It was my great honor to welcome former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso — at Trump Tower this evening!

Video transcript 1:57

(audience chattering) From Japan, many from Japan. - Oh really, that's too bad. - Very popular man, you know that, right? - Yes. - You too. - Great, great. - You too. - You look well. - Yes, I like that. - We'll go up, have a little talk. Any questions or anything? - What do you think about the significance of Mr. Hassel coming all over from, all over to pay a visit to you at this time around? - Well, he's a highly respected man in Japan and beyond. And somebody that I've liked and I've known through our very dear friend, right? Shinzo, we love Shinzo. - Yes. - And who was a great man, by the way. He was a great, great man. But we got to know each other, we like each other, and we'll be talking about Japan and the United States right now, and lots of other things also. But highly respected, it's a great honor to have him. - What is your message to the Japanese people? - To the people of Japan? It's a great country, you're doing very well. Shinzo was a great friend of mine, he was a great, he was truly a great man and somebody that we all respected and we really loved. And I miss him greatly, I miss him greatly. But we really admire the people of Japan, thank you. Thank you, everybody. - Thank you very much. - Thank you very much. - Say it. - Any plans for tomorrow? - What's tomorrow, you tell me, you tell me. - Jim Johnson is visiting with your students at Columbia. - Well, we have a lot of different things, but what's going on with the colleges and where they're closing Columbia now, I mean, it's just crazy. Columbia should gain a little strength, a little courage and keep their school open. It's crazy because that means the other side wins. When you start closing down colleges and universities, that means the other side. In Japan, they don't know about that, they don't close. They keep it open, they make it work. And the people running Columbia have made a grave mistake. Thank you very much, everybody. - Thank you.

I am being accused of Election Interference in a trial being presided over by a Corrupt D.A. and a ridiculously Conflicted Judge, representing people who Rigged and Stole the 2020 Presidential Election, and paid millions of dollars for the Fake and Fully Discredited Russia Dossier…..And they’re after me because a bookkeeper marked down “Legal Expense” in a Ledger when describing Legal Fees paid to a lawyer. What else would you call it? The Biden Thugs call it Falsifying Business Records. THIS FAKE CASE SHOULD BE DROPPED, IMMEDIATELY!

“MELANIA TRUMP HEADLINES FUNDRAISER FOR LGBT GROUP”

Video transcript 3:32

My next guest serves as a co-chair of this weekend's event. He has been involved for a long time in conservative politics. Bill White is CEO of the Constellations Group in Florida. Bill, welcome. Good to have you back. Hi, Martha, great to be with you. So tell us a little bit about this event and about what the purpose was and why it was important that the former first lady was part of this. What's the big message here? Well, I think the big message was this was her first solo event. She does many events with President Trump. We're members of Mar-a-Lago. They're together all the time. You could never keep up with President Trump going to every single event. He is superhuman, if I could say that. But our first event with Mrs. Trump was her wanting to launch the most aggressive outreach to LGBT and suburban women voters in the history of a Republican presidential candidacy. And we actually had a small room because there was a lovely wedding going on at Mar-a-Lago. And we sold the event out in 36 hours. We had hundreds of people who wanted to come and meet the first lady and experience this amazing opportunity to hear from her. And she gave a phenomenal speech about unity, about bringing our country together, that we're so divided. It's time to come together and be human and be loving and be supportive of each other. And let's be patriotic and fight to take our country back. And the message was a big hit, Martha. And I really think that she is a super stealth, absolutely wonderful surrogate for President Trump. She loves him dearly. They have a beautiful son that they've raised together. She's a terrific mother. And we're so proud of her. And we're honored that she is taking this initiative and will be leading it going forward. Yeah, that this was her first solo event, as you say. So speaking of the current president, Biden, here's what he had to say in Tampa, Florida today, also trying to reach out to the voters of this group. Watch. And Oberfeld legalized same-sex marriage. Justice Thomas means it. And so does Donald Trump. Again, here's what that means. The right to make the best decisions for your health, the right to use birth control, the right to marry the person you love. All that's at risk now because it's no longer viewed by some of our good friends in the court as a constitutional guaranteed right. What's your reaction to that? He says that President Trump would take away Oberfeld. Yeah, well, look, Joe Biden is the biggest flip-flopping guy out there. He was first against gay marriage. If you remember in the Great Meet the Press interview, he said Barack and I are not for gay marriage. President Trump was before he ran for president supportive of marriage equality. He loves us. He sees us. He wants us to be successful. And we believe, Martha, that President Trump is the only choice for us as a group to keep us safe, to bring back prosperity, and to make our families healthier and happier in this great country. We're for Donald Trump, and we're going to see a great outreach with Melania to this group. And we look forward to coming back and telling you about our upcoming events. All right, Bill White, thank you very much. Obviously, it's one of the many voter groups that people will be watching very closely to see where they move in 2024. Thank you for being with us, Bill.

Thousands of people were turned away from the Courthouse in Lower Manhattan by steel stanchions and police, literally blocks from the tiny side door from where I enter and leave. It is an armed camp to keep people away. Maggot Hagerman of The Failing New York Times, falsely reported that I was disappointed with the crowds. No, I’m disappointed with Maggot, and her lack of writing skill, and that some of these many police aren’t being sent to Columbia and NYU to keep the schools open and the students safe. The Legal Scholars call the case a Scam that should never have been brought. I call it Election Interference and a personal hit job by a conflicted and corrupt Judge who shouldn’t be allowed to preside over this Political Hoax. New York Justice is being reduced to ashes, and the World is breathlessly watching. Hopefully, Appellate Courts can save it, and all of the companies that are fleeing to other jurisdictions. They can no longer take a chance on New York Justice!

The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical left. #AGENDA47

Video transcript 2:40

For many years, tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding. And I mean absolutely exploding. While academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America's youth, the time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical left, and we will do that. Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system. It's called accreditation for a reason. The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally. When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxists, maniacs, and lunatics. We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all. These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs incredibly, removing all Marxists, diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth. Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination and schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment. A portion of the SEAS funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies that hurt our country so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hardworking taxpayers, and now we are going to get this anti-American insanity out of our institutions once and for all. We are going to have real education in America. Thank you.

HIGHLY CONFLICTED, TO PUT IT MILDLY, JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN, HAS TAKEN AWAY MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. EVERYBODY IS ALLOWED TO TALK AND LIE ABOUT ME, BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND MYSELF. THIS IS A KANGAROO COURT, AND THE JUDGE SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF!

Video transcript 3:06

(inaudible) - Well, I think the gag order is totally in constitution. Can't even allow articles to be put in. As an example, these are articles that were over the last day and a half. They're very good articles. They say the case is a sham, and it shouldn't be tried. It shouldn't have been submitted. And I don't even know if you're allowed to put them in. We have a gag order, which to me is totally unconstitutional, I'm not allowed to talk, but people are allowed to talk about me. So they can talk about me, they can say whatever they want, they can lie, but I'm not allowed to say anything. I just have to sit back and look at why a conflicted judge has ordered me to have a gag order. I don't think anybody's ever seen anything like this. I'd love to talk to you people. I'd love to say everything that's on my mind, but I'm restricted because I have a gag order. And I'm not sure that anybody's ever seen anything like this before. And even having to do with articles, somebody writes an article. If I read any one of these articles in complete, I read some of it, and I'll look at headlines, all good headlines, and the case is a sham. But I can't read the whole thing. I'd be reading, this is like reading a novel. So I put an article in, and then somebody's name is mentioned somewhere deep in the article, and I end up in violation of a gag order. I think it's a disgrace. It's totally unconstitutional. I don't believe in standard, not to this extent ever happened before. I'm not allowed to defend myself, and yet other people are allowed to say whatever they want about me. Very, very unfair. Having to do with the schools and the closings, that's Biden's fault. And by the way, this trial is all Biden. This is all Biden, just in case anybody has any question. And they're keeping me in a courtroom, it's freezing, by the way, in a courtroom all day long. Well, he's out campaigning. That's probably an advantage, 'cause he can't campaign. Nobody knows what he's doing. You can't put two sentences together. But he's out campaigning. He's out campaigning, and I'm here in a courtroom, sitting here, sitting up as straight as I can all day long, because you know what, it's a very unfair situation. So we're locked up in a courtroom, and this guy's out there campaigning. If you go to campaign, every time he opens his mouth, he gets himself into trouble. So that's the story, having an unconstitutional gay order by a highly conflicted judge that should recuse himself. Very simple. On the schools, should have never happened. What's going on in this country now should have never happened. But of course, the Ukraine War would have never happened. The Israeli attack would have never happened. Inflation would have never happened. We have the worst president in the history of our country, and he's the one that has us in all these different lawsuits. Thank you very much.

Every single Legal Scholar and Expert said that Soros backed prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, has “no case.” This list includes Jonathan Turley, Gregg Jarrett, Byron York, Andrew McCarthy, Mark Levin, Alan Dershowitz, Mike Davis, David Rivkin, Kristin Shapiro, Brad Smith, Andrew Cherkasky, and many more. SO WHY WON’T THEY DROP THIS CASE? Alvin Bragg never wanted to bring it - thought it was a joke. Was furious at lawyer MARK POMERANTZ (will he be prosecuted?) for what he did!

Are you going to keep posting on the website? So thank you very much. It's a big day in Pennsylvania, and we hope the people get out there and vote. It's important to vote to let them know that we're coming on November 5th. We're coming big. Today is preliminary, but still it's very important. And maybe they'll think also about the very good person who's running for the Senate in Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, and he's doing a good job. He's working very hard. A successful man wants to put his success to the country. He'll be a very good senator. So hopefully they'll be behind Dave and get out there and vote today. So offensively, you get out and vote. What's going on at the college level? I mean, colleges, Columbia, NYU, and others is a disgrace. And it's really on Biden. He has the wrong signal. He's got the wrong tone. He's got the wrong words. He doesn't know who he's backing. And it's a mess. And if this were me, it'd be after me. It'd be after me so much, but to try to give him a pass. What's going on is a disgrace to our country. And it's all Biden's fault and everybody knows it. He's got no message. He's got no compassion. He doesn't know what he's doing. He can't put two sentences together, frankly. He is the worst president in the history of our country. And again, what's going on is a disgrace. That's interesting outside. For great Americans, people who want to come down, and they want to protest at the court, and they want to protest peacefully, we have more police presidents here than anyone's ever seen. For blocks, you can't get near this courthouse. And if you have nobody up at a college, where you have very radical people wanting to rip the colleges down, the universities down, and that's a shame. But it all starts with Joe Biden. The signals he puts out are so bad. And I can tell you, he's no friend of Israel. That's for sure. And he's no friend of the Arab world. You take a look at what he said. He's no friend of it. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know what to do. He wants to take like a middle ground. And oftentimes that doesn't work, but it's certainly not working here. But what he's done to Israel is abandon them. And he's trying to be as nice as he can to the other side. Call it the Arab world. But that's not working either, because they get him. And he's an incompetent man. Peace will never happen with a guy like this. Thank you very much.

The Dollar has just hit a 34 year high against the Yen, a total disaster for the United States. When I was President, I spent a good deal of time telling Japan and China, in particular, you can’t do that. It sounds good to stupid people, but it is a disaster for our manufacturers and others. They are actually unable to compete and will be forced to either lose lots of business, or build plants, or whatever, in the “smart” Countries. This is what made Japan and China into behemoths years ago. I put limits on both (and others!), and if they violated those limits, there was hell to pay. Biden has let it go. Watch them now pick apart the U.S. It will be an open field day. Don’t let this happen Crooked Joe. Wake up and smell the roses!

“The Great Deflection”

Video transcript 0:28

If you care about the way America is perceived around the world, you should be enraged that Donald Trump is on trial in New York. These are the types of election-year shenanigans that happen in other countries, in third-world autocracies, not in the United States. Come on. But his press minions are ecstatic. Anything to avoid covering the border, or gas prices, or food prices.

“Trump Polling Ahead of Biden on EVERY Major Issue”

Video transcript 0:16

former President Donald Trump pulling ahead of Biden on every major issue. Look at that. Looking back, voters remember the Trump term and stacked up against the Biden term. It's no contest. Voters should put aside all the chaos and just look at the Biden and Trump terms on paper.

Video transcript 0:25

How do you campaign for president if you can't move or talk? I should be in Georgia now. I should be in Florida now. I should be in a lot of different places right now campaigning. And I'm sitting here. And this will go on for a long time. It's very unfair. And I should be allowed to campaign. And whoever heard of this, he had indicted for that. People on the court just said to me, "I can't believe it. This is the case."
