I put it out before the American people, got 306 electoral college votes…270 which you need, that was laughable. We got 306 because people came out and voted like they’ve never seen before so that’s the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan.
Despite what some of my colleagues may have been reporting, I haven't seen anybody in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-Semitic.
I am the least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life.
I hate the charge, I find it repulsive.I hate even the question [about anti-Semitism ] because people that know me and you heard the prime minister, you heard Ben Netanyahu. He said, I've known Donald Trump for a long time and then he said, forget it.
The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil.
Unfortunately, much of the media in Washington, D.C., along with New York, Los Angeles in particular, speaks not for the people, but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system.
The press has become so dishonest that if we don't talk about, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people. Tremendous disservice. We have to talk to find out what's going on, because the press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control.
I ran for president to present the citizens of America. I am here to change the broken system so it serves their families and their communities well.
My administration inherited many problems across government and across the economy. To be honest, I inherited a mess.
Jobs are pouring out of America; you see what's going on with all of the companies leaving our country, going to Mexico and other places, low pay, low wages, mass instability overseas, no matter where you look. The middle east is a disaster. North Korea - we'll take care of it folks; we're going to take care of it all. I just want to let you know, I inherited a mess.
Iran is the world's top sponsor of terrorism, and I am not going to stop until that problem is properly solved.
If a country is taking advantage of America, not going to let that happen anymore. Every country takes advantage of us almost. I may be able to find a couple that don't. But for the most part, that would be a very tough job for me to do.
I've never seen more dishonest media than frankly, the political media. I thought the financial media was much better, much more honest.
I can handle a bad story better than anybody as long as it's true and, you know, over a course of time, I'll make mistakes and you'll write badly and I'm OK with that. But I'm not OK when it is fake.
It's so important to the public to get an honest press. The press - the public doesn't believe you people anymore.
I didn't do anything for Russia. I've done nothing for Russia. Hillary Clinton gave them 20 percent of our uranium. Hillary Clinton did a reset, remember? With the stupid plastic button that made us all look like a bunch of jerks. Here, take a look. Lavrov looked at her like, what the hell is she doing with that cheap plastic button?
If America could get along with Russia, that's a positive thing.
If America could get along with Russia - and by the way, China and Japan and everyone. If we could get along, it would be a positive thing, not a negative thing.
Probably Putin assumes that he's not going to be able to make a deal with me because it's politically not popular for me to make a deal. So Hillary Clinton tries a re-set. It failed. They all tried. But I'm different than those people.
I want to do the right thing for the American people. And to be honest, secondarily, I want to do the right thing for the world.
Don't forget, America is a very powerful nuclear country and so is Russia. There's no up-side.
Nuclear holocaust would be like no other.
Russia a very powerful nuclear country and so is America. If we have a good relationship with Russia, believe me, that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
Maybe I'm not going to be able to do a deal with Russia, but at least I will have tried. And if I don't, does anybody really think that Hillary Clinton would be tougher on Russia than Donald Trump?
You know, they say I'm close to Russia. Hillary Clinton gave away 20 percent of the uranium in the United States. She's close to Russia.
