Look, there are people, obviously, I mean, look, okay, whatever Donald Trump has right now, he's got a 34% approval rating.

This is what hubris does to men, even great men.

You sit there and go, people voted for me because they just love me.

They just trust me.

They know that I'm so fucking great that I'll do all this.

The truth is that Donald Trump got social conservatives to vote for him in this country.

None of them just loved Donald Trump so much.

You know, it's not that they just went, dude, let me tell you who my ideal conservative candidate is.

A billionaire playboy from New York City who's cheated on all of his wives.

Certainly had multiple abortions paid for, was a longtime donor of Bill and Hillary Clinton and his friends with everyone in Hollywood.

That was not the idea.

The point is that you positioned yourself as being the guy standing up to the machine and really infuriating all of its, you know.

you know, biggest public faces.

And that's part of the reason why, that's the major reason why people developed this kind of like love for you.

Like it had nothing to do with secure borders.
