00:00And I'm very happy to have done it.
00:01Mr. President, the Prime Minister of Greece just told Breitbart's Matt Boyle that he thinks
00:07absolutely the European Union and the United States could work out a trade deal that's
00:11win-win and, quote, mutually beneficial to both sides.
00:14What do you think about the Prime Minister's comments, and do you think a deal could be
00:17struck with the European Union?
00:19First of all, I know him.
00:20He's a good man, and I appreciate his comments.
00:22Yeah, a deal could be made with every one of them.
00:25A deal's going to be made with China.
00:27A deal's going to be made with every one of them.
00:30And there'll be fair deals.
00:31I just want fair.
00:33There will be fair deals for everybody.
00:36But they weren't fair to the United States.
00:39They were sucking us dry.
00:40And you can't do that.
00:42You know, we have $36 trillion of debt for a reason.
00:46We don't have it there for fun.
00:48They have it for a reason.
00:49And people took advantage of our country, and they ripped us off for decades.
00:55I've been thinking about this for decades.
00:57If you ever saw me on television, I was young like these guys.
01:01And those are good old days, I'll tell you, Roger.
01:05But I was like these guys, young.
01:07And I was talking about it.
01:08Nothing changed.
01:10And nothing was done about it.
01:11Then I did it.
01:12In my first term, I did it.
01:14And did it well.
01:16We took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China and others.
01:19And I started the process.
01:21But then we had a fix-up from the COVID mess caused by China.
01:25We had a fix-up from that, and we did a good job of doing it.
01:28And when we handed back the reins after a rigged election, and when we handed back the reins,
01:33the stock market was higher than it was before COVID coming in.
01:37So, you know, we did a great job, but we didn't have time to do the big thing, which we're doing now.
01:44And it's like a patient is sick.
01:47You have to do surgery.
01:48The patient is very, very sick.
01:50And Joe Biden handed us over a country that was in very serious trouble, economically and in every other way.
01:59They let China run away with things.
02:00They let other countries run away with things.
02:02And maybe, worst of all, in a certain way, is what they did at the border.
02:06We had people pouring into our country by the millions.
02:10Many of them were murderers and drug lords and thieves and people from prisons from all over the world.
02:17And there were people from mental institutions, insane asylums.
02:22They were taking them mentally insane, and they were dumping them into our country.
02:28And I'll tell you, Tom Holman and Christine Holman are doing a fantastic job in removing them.
02:34And now the courts, the Supreme Court, just gave us numerous good rulings where we have to be able to get them out.
02:41You had other judges trying to take over the system.
02:45And think of it.
02:46They take over.
02:47They want these people coming back.
02:48Trendy Aragua from Venezuela, the Venezuela jails that cut off the fingers of a man in Colorado.
02:56They cut off his fingers because he called the police looking for help.
03:00They said, did you call the police?
03:02He said, yes, I did.
03:04Put your hand down.
03:05And they cut off the fingers.
03:06This is what they want to bring these people back now.
03:09And I want to thank the president of El Salvador for the job he's done, because that is, that's the way it has to be done.
03:16It's too bad.
