I have to get your take on on something he
said,
because I was rereading today your thoughts when he came
down that escalator announced he was running for president and
said because he wrote The Art of the Deal that
that he that made him qualified.
And you said, well great,
I'll run for president since I'm actually the one who
wrote it.
He was asked today about this idea of maybe taking
foreign money to help with his legal troubles.
This is what he what he said in response to
that.
I think you'd be allowed to possibly.
I don't know. I mean,
if you go borrow from a big bank,
many of the banks are outside of this.
As you know, the biggest banks frankly are outside of
our country.
So you could do that.
But I don't need to borrow money.
I have a lot of money.
Do you think he'd do that?
100% without any question in a New York minute or
a London minute or a Middle Eastern minute.
But he is, he is more than willing to do
anything right now.
I mean, look at his range of remarks over the
last month or two,
I would say even even earlier in his presidency.
Many of the things he said over the last several
weeks.
Would have eliminated him. Would have would have destroyed him.
But he is as as as a writer in the
New York Times said today he is now a gangster.
You know, he's a mafia Don.
He's, you know, it's it's it's mind boggling to think
that this is a person who people can look at
and say,
oh he's a reasonable, he's a reasonable choice to be
president of the United States.
He's he belongs in a prison.
And, you know, we'll see whether that gets adjudicated before
the election,
but that's where he belongs.
Tony Schwartz, great to have your perspective on this tonight.
