## What the media says

**Video transcript** (2:19), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> Trump is never going to be a politician. He wasn't raised as one. He doesn't act like one. He did a 70 minute relentless question and answer period. What should be gained from that? Like when you walk away from that, you can go, god, I wish you would rein that in. But the thing is, the one thing that you saw-- let's say with the five, we have millions of viewers. A lot of them don't like Trump, and a lot of them are Democrats. So they're listening to me tell you why this matters. He's engaged. And that's really necessary right now. All of the Pistons are working. He was there for 70 minutes. He answered every question. You can tell that he's going to be like that with everything. Because he is. There's not that phony engagement of the establishment politician where they say exactly enough. It's neat, and it's tidy, and it's almost impossible to remember what they said after they said it. Politicians are trained to say nothing, and he can't do that. He never got that training. So I think when you're watching vintage Trump, you have to realize that this is how he's going to be in meetings with people who aren't friendly to the United States, or people who want something from America, and we demand scrutiny and reciprocity. So just replace the media with all those people. He's not a figurehead. So if you're looking at him, you go, I can't stand it. He's not a figurehead. He's an agent. He's your agent. He's America's lawyer. He's in the room there to represent his client. America, your needs and your concerns, he's supposed to be an asshole. He's not interested in impressing the other people in the room. I wanted an agent or a lawyer with that relentless energy that makes people upset, and the country needs that. We've had four years of perk-hungry elites who are there for the pomp and not for the people. So you have to look at this stuff as a necessity that this guy is going to be that way in a room with people that have been screwing us over forever. Do you want him, or do you want Kamala? Who do you want in that room? You want the guy that nobody likes because they don't like him for a reason.
