RUSH: By popular demand, ladies and gentlemen, we present to you Donald Trump live here on the EIB Network. Donald, great to have you here, sir, and how are you today?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: I am well Rush, and I know you\u2019re well, and I love your show.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Now, let me tell you what happened here. Last week, after your CPAC speech a couple of weeks ago, we got a bunch of people phoning here wanting to know — they took you seriously. They think you\u2019re running for president, you\u2019re seriously considering it. If you go to CPAC they\u2019re gonna take you seriously.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And a couple people wanted to know — they had learned you had given some money to Rahm Emanuel\u2019s mayoral campaign in Chicago — they asked me how could a guy that wants the Republican nomination do that? I said, ‘He\u2019s got business in Chicago.\u2019<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Chicago is Chicago. And that didn\u2019t sit well with them. So I thought, ‘I\u2019m gonna have Mr. Trump on and ask him myself.\u2019 So I\u2019m asking you so that they can hear your answer.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Good, Rush, I like actually giving the answer. Number one, I do business all over the country, and as an example, I\u2019m from New York, which is an almost exclusively Democratic state. So over the years, Republicans in many cases don\u2019t even run a candidate, sadly, and I say very sadly. Now, Ari Emanuel, who if you\u2019ve looked they did Entourage on Ari Emanuel, that\u2019s my agent. Rahm is his brother. Ari\u2019s a great friend of mine —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I saw you at the Oscars. That was you sitting there, right?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Right. Well, you know, The Apprentice<\/a>, which is going on on Sunday night, is this big successful show, but Ari Emanuel is the biggest agent I guess in this country, and he represents me. His brother is running, and frankly they don\u2019t even have a Republican candidate running. You know, over there in Chicago they have Democrats and they\u2019re all running as Democrats essentially, but there\u2019s no Republican or a Republican that\u2019s gonna get more than, you know, anything more than 0% of the vote. So I like Rahm, I\u2019ve always liked him as a person, and more importantly, Ari, his brother, is my agent. So I did make a contribution to him, and, frankly, I don\u2019t think they had any Republicans running.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you value friendships?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: I\u2019m very loyal to people, Rush. I mean I see a lot of disloyalty around. I\u2019m very loyal to people and that supersedes, frankly, party lines. But I\u2019m very, very loyal to people and I\u2019m also very loyal to people that I think are good for the country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why are you thinking about running for president? I\u2019ve talked to you over the years. I\u2019ve listened to you on various places in the media for years. You sound different this time. You sound really ticked off. China, the economic direction of the country, you sound like it\u2019s really bothering you now more than just something to say.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Well, you\u2019re right about that, Rush. I\u2019ve seen what\u2019s happened to this country. We\u2019re no longer respected. You have places like China, and I know the Chinese, I do business with the Chinese. I\u2019ve made a lot of money off the Chinese, believe me. I had a partnership with Chinese people. It wasn\u2019t fun, and I made a lot of money. I came out very, very strong.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So why are you ripping \u2019em now?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Because I watch them and I see what they\u2019re doing to the country, and I understand China, and I understand the Chinese mind. I understand where they\u2019re coming from. They are not our friend and when I sit down — I sold an apartment recently for $33 million from a very nice couple from China. Thirty-three million dollars for the apartment, I\u2019m very happy about it, but I sit down with people and I talk to \u2019em, from China, and really much more so prior to when I thought I may be running for president, because they\u2019re not stupid people. They\u2019re very smart people. They told me very, very distinctly that they cannot believe how stupid our representatives are in the United States. They cannot believe that they can continue to take all our jobs — you know, through the manipulation of the currency, of their currency, they make it almost impossible for our great companies to compete and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Would you explain the actual manifestation of that? First off, what are they doing in manipulating their currency, and for the average guy that doesn\u2019t understand all this, how does that affect jobs and imports, exports here?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Very good. China should have a currency which is a much higher value relative to the dollar and other things. What they\u2019re doing is keeping it low, artificially low. And I mean seriously artificial. I don\u2019t just mean a little bit low. I mean major low. Now when a guy comes to Donald Trump who wants to put up a glass curtain wall or aluminum something or even brick or Sheetrock, and you saw what happened with the Sheetrock, people are dying over Chinese Sheetrock because I will say this — and I have to interject — our products are better than the Chinese. We do a better job. We make better products. But because the currency is so low versus the dollar versus other things, and so much lower than it should be, it\u2019s very hard to compete for our companies. <\/p>\n

As an example, recently I built a building and I put a curtain wall, exterior wall, very expensive building, very beautiful wall, and the American companies that competed, the pricing was much higher because they couldn\u2019t compete against the low valued yuan. And they just couldn\u2019t compete with it, Rush, and I hated to give out the contract, but it\u2019s almost impossible for somebody like me that obviously wants to build the building for the best price possible, it\u2019s almost impossible to compete. I wanted to go American and I often do. I mean even if it\u2019s close I go American, but it\u2019s very hard for our companies to compete because they keep it artificially low. <\/p>\n

Just take a look. We have the Olympics. They have gymnasts. ‘Oh, no, these gymnasts are all 14 or 15,\u2019 or whatever the minimum age. Well, they didn\u2019t look it to anybody. They were phenomenal, but don\u2019t forget they\u2019re not under pressure because all they want to do is they\u2019re playing to their mommy, not 20 billion people, okay? So they had the gymnasts, well, it turned out that the gymnasts were a fraud and their medals were taken away and China knew all about it. The same thing with the singer at the Olympics. You had this unbelievably beautiful young woman who had the greatest voice anyone\u2019s ever heard. ‘Yes, this is her voice. She sang their national anthem.\u2019 It turned out she wasn\u2019t singing. It was a fraud, they said it was her. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait a second —<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Rush, we\u2019re not only talking about this one country. You look at South Korea, what they did. We signed a trade pact that nobody in their right mind would have signed. And it was so bad, and yet they didn\u2019t want to sign it. Now, two months ago when bombs started getting lobbed over by North Korea and we send this incredible aircraft carrier, the George Washington and 17 destroyers heading right to North Korea, all of a sudden they sign and they announce that they are friends of our country. It\u2019s a lot of crap. They make billions of dollars of, let\u2019s call it profit, off the United States, Rush, billions of dollars. Why aren\u2019t they paying for protection? We protect South Korea, and I know the Koreans very well. I had a partnership with the Koreans that was a fantastic partnership. I built Trump World Tower with Daewoo, which was a Korean company, and I did very well and they did very well. So I understand the people. And, by the way, I don\u2019t dislike the Chinese people, I don\u2019t dislike the Korean people, because if I were them I\u2019d be doing the same thing. If our leaders are so stupid that they allow what\u2019s happening — we can\u2019t have jobs created, Rush, in this country if China is making all of our products.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is what I want to ask you about because the way the Chinese are presented to the average American here, and in listening to you it\u2019s somewhat similar, they\u2019re relatively omnipotent. On one hand they can devalue their currency, apparently without doing much harm to themselves. They can do this as a strategy to destroy our economy. At the same time they own an ever increasing amount of our debt. You said we have stupid leaders here. It\u2019s almost as though — this stuff can\u2019t happen in a vacuum. There has to be some reason this has been permitted to happen.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: It is actually happening in a vacuum. Now, look, the debt is not a problem because, hey, look, nobody, Rush, over the years I\u2019ve done tremendous business with banks, I work things out with banks and it\u2019s not difficult if you know what you\u2019re doing. If you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing it\u2019s devastating because I have friends that are laying in the gutter right now that were rich people and they\u2019re no longer rich people because of what the banks did to them. The fact is that the Chinese are taking advantage of our country. And by the way, the Chinese can\u2019t even believe that they\u2019re getting away with it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s more than taking advantage. You said earlier they do look at us as an enemy.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Oh, they view us as an enemy, very, very militant toward the United States, and I don\u2019t even think the United States knows it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What would constitute victory to them, then? What is their objective via us?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: If you look at what they\u2019re doing, they\u2019re building military now. They just opened up plants to start building jet liners so, you know, that little trivial order that they gave to Boeing just to be nice because guys like me are talking about what a rip-off — here\u2019s, when you think about President Obama, he gives the president of China a five-star dinner at the White House. When somebody rips me off I don\u2019t give them five star dinners and neither do you, Rush, because I know you well and you don\u2019t give five-star dinners. If you look at what\u2019s happening, they give a $40 billion order, which is not a big deal, to Boeing. In other words, they want to walk off the plane and give us something after taking our trillions of dollars in this country. <\/p>\n

RUSH: So they give this order, but look at what they\u2019re really doing to Boeing. They\u2019re now taking technology and everything else and they\u2019re opening up their own airline manufacturing plant. They\u2019re gonna make big airlines to compete with Boeing and Eurobus. They\u2019re going to be opening up there and watch what happens within a few years with respect to Boeing. That order will not be so important and, by the way, they\u2019ll never buy planes from us. They will only buy those planes from their Chinese company that they\u2019re forming and that they\u2019re starting. That\u2019s gonna be a very devastating blow to Boeing. You watch what happens. But when I look at what\u2019s going on with China, when I look at what\u2019s going on with OPEC, when I look at oil prices hitting a hundred dollars a barrel, and if you remember three years ago, Rush, oil prices were a little bit higher than they are right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: One forty eight.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Yeah, and we\u2019ll be up there pretty soon because there\u2019s nobody to call OPEC. You know, if it weren\u2019t for us — why do we have troops in Saudi Arabia? We have troops in Saudi Arabia, can you imagine they\u2019re not paying us with the money they\u2019re making. They\u2019re making more money than any country has made in the history of the world, legitimately making that kind of money. They form OPEC, they have 12 men, in this case all men, they sit around the table, any time there\u2019s a minor incident in the world they raise the price of oil because, you know, they figure, well, nobody\u2019s gonna call. When oil goes over $40 a barrel it\u2019s almost impossible for our country to do well. That\u2019s what it is. You look at oil, we\u2019re up to a hundred now, we\u2019re heading up, they keep raising it, when oil goes over $40, watch what happens. And the stock market is gonna end up being a big Ponzi scheme because the only thing that\u2019s doing well in this country is the stock market, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s because the Federal Reserve. Have you got a couple minutes more?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Yes, I do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I gotta take a quick time-out.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Cause I want to find out what you would do about all this.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, we\u2019ll be back. Donald Trump when we get back.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: And we are back with Donald Trump. Donald, the things you\u2019ve articulated on China I think most people are going, ‘Rah-rah,\u2019 agreeing with, and I think they totally understand it. Why do you think it\u2019s not clear to more people in our government? Do you think Obama understands it the way you do? And what would you do if you were president to deal with all this?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Well, you know, Rush, I talk about China — and other countries, by the way. But I talk about China \u2019cause they\u2019re the worst abuser, and we have this independent group of people that formed ShouldTrumpRun.com<\/a> and we have over 400,000 people already signed up. What I don\u2019t understand but I think maybe there is an understanding down deep, I believe it could be the lobbyists. Because so many people love what I say on China; they know it\u2019s true. When Ben Bernanke gets up and says, ‘Jobs won\u2019t be good for another five years,\u2019 now, that sounds like a long time, but I disagree. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think jobs will ever be good if we keep going on this policy because we\u2019re not making anything anymore. China and other countries are making our products. We are rebuilding China. So I say it over and over again. I do your show, I do Today Show, and I say it — and everybody loves it; and yet no politician ever says what I\u2019m saying; and then they give, as I said, five-star dinners at the White House. So 400,000 people join ShouldTrumpRun.com and yet nobody… So what I think it is, is the politicians are all taken over by the lobbyists. I really believe the lobbyists keep them shut up because China and Chinese companies have all got tremendous lobbyists. <\/p>\n

OPEC has got a monopoly. If you try and get a lobbyist in Washington to go against OPEC, they\u2019ll say, ‘Oh, this is great. Donald Trump wants me to be a lobbyist,\u2019 and then they\u2019ll go check and say, ‘Oh, I\u2019m sorry, Mr. Trump, we can\u2019t represent you. We represent OPEC or one of the 12 nations.\u2019 So it\u2019s really… In my opinion, it has to be the lobbyists. Because I\u2019ll say this, everybody will agree with me — and I know you agree with me — but everybody will agree with me, and then the politicians don\u2019t speak up. And I think they don\u2019t speak up because their local lobbyist has them shut up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, could there be an element of fear? I mean, people aren\u2019t afraid of the United States anymore, Donald.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: No, they\u2019re not. No, we\u2019re not respected. And one of the reasons I\u2019m seriously thinking about running — and I mean seriously thinking — is that this is not a respected country anymore. I love this country. It\u2019s got potential to be great again. But, really, Rush, it\u2019s not great right now. It\u2019s not great. China, in 12 years or less, will take over as the #1 nation in the world from an economic standpoint — and we\u2019re doing it! We\u2019re doing it. Now, you asked me before: What would I do? I would tell China that if you don\u2019t straighten out your manipulation of the currency — and I mean fast; I mean really fast — we are going to tax your products 25%. Now, what that will do is two things. Number one: Immediately will start doing our own manufacturing. We don\u2019t have to make toys that are coated with lead paint in China. We can make good toys in Alabama and North Carolina. <\/p>\n

RUSH: How about Chinese screws? I mean, Chinese screws? You better not assemble anything with a screw made in China or you\u2019ll BE screwed!<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Many things are very… They call it the ‘counterfeiters.\u2019 And by the way, even those laws, those laws are so bad for us in China — we make a product here and — they copy it in China and they couldn\u2019t care less about infringement or anything else. We talk about the environmentalists. You know, they all want us to make our plan so that nothing can go into the air. Do you think China\u2019s doing that? They laugh at us. They talk ‘green\u2019 but they\u2019re not ‘green.\u2019 They talk green but they\u2019re not — and this isn\u2019t just me saying it on the basis of common sense. These are the biggest people in China who sit down with me and talk to me, and they can\u2019t believe what they\u2019re getting away with.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give you a little interesting thing — and this is nothing much, and I shouldn\u2019t even waste your program\u2019s time by saying it. But I notice that the White House they give a lot of the balls for people, and some should have balls! I mean, if you look at Britain, if you look at certain places, they\u2019ve come through and they\u2019ve been good allies, and we should have balls for them. As you know, \u2019cause you\u2019re in Palm Beach, I have the greatest ballroom probably in the world. I built it five years ago, and it\u2019s one of the great ballrooms of the world. It\u2019s at the Mar-a-Lago Club. And I see that the White House — the White House, Washington, DC — when a dignitary comes in from India, from anywhere, they open up a tent. They have a tent. A tent!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I\u2019ve noticed that.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: A lousy looking tent.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yup.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: An old, rotten tent that frankly they probably rented, pay a guy millions of dollars for it even though it\u2019s worth about $2, okay? So they have a tent for a dignitary that comes in. So recently, a couple of months ago, I called up the White House. I said, ‘Listen, I\u2019m really good at this stuff. I will build you a magnificent ballroom. We\u2019ll go through committees. You know, you have all sorts of things with committees. We\u2019ll go through committees; we\u2019ll pick the one they like. We\u2019ll pick the architect everybody likes. We\u2019ll pick something that works. We\u2019ll do ten designs. You\u2019ll pick the one that\u2019s the greatest with the greatest architecture. I will build it free.\u2019 So that\u2019s anywhere from 50 to hundred million-dollar gift. I will give that, and I mean, I\u2019m talking, Rush — it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve said this. I\u2019m talking to the biggest person, one of the biggest people at the White House. I\u2019m not talking to a low-level person.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: One of the most important people. ‘I will build the White House a ballroom. So when the head of India comes to town we can give him a five-star dinner in a magnificent ballroom, befitting of this country and the White House,\u2019 right? They never got back to me. It\u2019s a hundred million-dollar gift. They never got back to me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course not! They think you\u2019re a Republican.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Well, but they never got back to me, Rush. When whether I\u2019m a Republican or an independent or a Democrat, they never got back to me. If I was a Republican they should do it anyway! They should say, ‘Trump\u2019s gonna give us a hundred million dollars? He\u2019s gonna build the ballroom? It\u2019s gonna be magnificent?\u2019 Why wouldn\u2019t they get back to me? That\u2019s the problem with this country. It\u2019s like no common sense. They have no… Let me give you another example. We talk about not only China, Korea. So when we send the George Washington — the most magnificent aircraft carrier I\u2019ve ever seen. When we send the George Washington and 17 destroyers and we head them to North Korea to protect South Korea, why doesn\u2019t South Korea pay us for that? You know how much that costs just to turn on the engines of the George Washington?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, yeah. Yup.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: You know what I\u2019m talking about. You turn those engines on, and that sucker costs you a hundred thousand bucks, okay? I mean, just to turn the key is a hundred thousand. Now, they\u2019re steaming toward North Korea — and, by the way, the only reason that North Korea backed down was because they saw these ships steaming in their direction — and that\u2019s all fine. Why isn\u2019t South Korea sending us a check for a hundred million dollars for saving them and the protection? Why are we sending all these ships with all of these sailors and all of these soldiers over there? Why aren\u2019t they protecting us? And they make hundreds… LG, I buy hundreds of them, LG. They make all of these television sets and all of these products that we take into this country. By the way, we signed an agreement, Rush, which allows them to sell but if we go to them it\u2019s very hard for us to sell in South Korea. It\u2019s very hard for us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Donald, I have —<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Rush, we actually have something where for over a five-year period they treat us a little bit better. It\u2019s an absolute joke.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have to stop you. I\u2019ve only got 30 seconds left here and I know you\u2019re busy. I wish I… I wanted to talk about Wisconsin with you and get your thoughts on what\u2019s going on with the public sector union thing. We\u2019ll have to do that at another time.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But I want to thank you for your time here, and your willingness to make yourself available.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Well, absolutely, Rush. And I really enjoy your show and I really enjoy you. And a lot of people enjoy you very much, Rush. They just don\u2019t like saying it. They don\u2019t like giving you the credit that you deserve.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. Donald Trump from New York.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Say whatever you will about Donald Trump, there\u2019s one thing nobody can deny, and that is he has a can-do spirit — good old American can-do spirit — and Trump\u2019s can-do spirit is backed up with Trump\u2019s can-do action. It really is. I would love to see a debate on economics between Trump and Obama. Mr. ‘Scholar,\u2019 Mr. Faculty Lounge Extraordinaire versus Mr. Real World Builder. I would love to see that.
