He also shared his perspectives on success, saying, “Progress never comes from those satisfied with the failures of a broken system. It comes from those who wanna fix the broken system, and you’ll make the bigger money, you’ll make more success by acting that way,” adding, “The other way may be more secure, but if you wanna go to the top, you’re just never gonna do it unless you break the system.”
Trump affirmed, “It’s true. All of them. It’s true.” He then discussed his unique position as a businessman-turned-president, noting, “It’s amazing. It’s nicer this way. Now in the first, you know, they didn’t know what happened because I won an election that, you know– there was never a businessman that won a presidential election. Out of 100%, 8% were generals and 92% were politician. Not even admirals. Just generals.”
Previously, Trump had made similar claims about various world leaders saying many countries are calling him and “kissing my a**… dying to make a deal” after he unleashed a tariff war that has upended global trade. Although he did not identify any countries but said they were calling him and saying “please please sir let me make a deal, I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything sir.”
