In America, we do cheat. We have people who cheat in elections.
I do have to ask the following: I feel very bad about that [spate of incidents, racially-charged incidents, across the country ].
You have the same mandate whether it's a close result or - you're the President of the United States, you have to act like the President of the United States. You're the person in charge. You have to set the agenda. That's how you get yourself reelected by a much bigger number, if you want to get reelected. And that's the way you govern the country.
There are very few situations where Republicans cheat. They don't control the inner cities the way Democrats do. Maybe if Republicans controlled the inner cities they would cheat as much as Democrats.
I even believe [Donald Trump] won a little after - after the election rethinking, I think if we'd spent a little more time in Minnesota, we would've won Minnesota.
I certainly have the energy, and there's probably nobody that knows the Justice Department better than me.
I was an assistant U.S. attorney. I was the associate attorney general of the United States, third-ranking official under Ronald Reagan.
I know the bottom of the Justice Department, and I know the top.
I'm the only one of the republican candidates who's actually turned an economy around and turned it around with the with kind of pro-growth principles that we're talking about for America.
The reality is the most important thing that can be done are these permanent changes like to the tax code, reduction of government spending. These are the things that pop up in economy and move it in the right direction, start to make it an economy that is moving because of the money in the private economy. When you think about it, when the Fed is lowering an interest rate, what it's doing is it's creating more liquidity. It's putting more money into the economy. The same thing happens when you reduce the tax except if happens from physical policy.
I think that's one of the major overriding issues of the day, to deal with frivolous lawsuits. I think it creates a tremendous burden on our economy, a tremendous burden on health care, it creates all of this medicine, which is good medicine. It would be one of the most important things we could do. It, also would help the economy. A tremendous amount of money is taken out of our economy and a tremendous that is created by these frivolous lawsuits.
You want to do tax reductions, you want to do permanent tax reduction, reductions in spending. You've got to go out and explain it to the people, get them on your side and have them become the levers that you need in congressional relations.
The Constitution of the United States doesn't change the powers of the president based on the number by which you get elected.
As a lawyer, I hate to use the "on the one hand, but the other".
I guess the next Attorney General is going to have to figure that out. I don't know if that will be me or not, but the next Attorney General would have to figure that out [ if Hillary Clinton has violated the law].
I remember a case where I was associate attorney general where 720 dead people voted in Chicago in the 1982 election. I remember in my own election about 60 dead people voted. So I can't sit here and tell you that they don't cheat.
If those were Donald Trump people doing that after a Hillary Clinton election, I think a lot of people be - a lot of that - there would be a lot more anger in the media at the fact that they're protesting a legitimately decided election.
I think people are exaggerating the fears of a Donald Trump presidency because they're coming off a campaign where they're very disappointed.
Now, people have a hard time understanding how taxes work.
When I run a business, and I run a business, if I don't take advantage of the five deductions that are available to me, even if you think those deductions are unfair, then I've violated my fiduciary duty.
You gather a certain number of people around you but, you know, they look - they look - they didn't look to me like people who were, you know, carefully studying political science and were all upset about the ideology of the election.
I was in one a couple of days ago where they saw me in the car and they started banging, banging on my car. I 'm not sure these are even Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama supporters. I think these people are, you know, kind of like professional protesters more.
People die when you crowd the streets of New York City with protesters. You can do plenty of protesting on the sidewalk.
A lot of the people that are poor take advantage of loopholes and pay no taxes.
No matter who you are, if you have a $30 operating loss, you can carry it forward to the next year. And poor people do take advantage of that, also.
