TRUMP: Thats on top you got the job thats on top of hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars. But thats not the best one. The best one was China. This came up. So now he goes to China, and I was with the head of Blackstone which is the big deal. Steve Schwarzman. I said, Steve, is that possible? No, why? Who got that? I said. Bidens son. Ooh, Well then you know he says, Maybe I shouldnt get involved, you know its very political. I say, Steve, what happens when you come off a vice presidential plane, its called Air Force Two, your fathers with you, you walk into a room in China and they give you a fund of $1.5 billion, billion, you make hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars off that. And thats probably not all they gave him. They gave him plenty more, Im sure. We might never find out.
And then they talk about me, and I didnt do anything. I dont know if Im the most innocent person in the world.
(Laughter)
TRUMP: But you know you look at that most presidential, I just said Im the most presidential except for possibly Abe Lincoln when he wore the hat that was tough to beat.
(Laughter)
Honest Abe, when he wore that hat, that was tough to beat. But I cant do that, that hat wouldnt work for me. Yeah, I have better hair than him. But Honest Abe was tough to beat. Remember we used to do that during the campaign. They used to say, when I speak, the crowd would be crazy, Id go crazy we would all go crazy. We had a lot of fun together. We had 25,000 Weve never had an empty seat. From the day I came down the escalator, with a potential unbelievable woman who became a first lady.
