00:00I've seen her meeting with the Syrian president earlier today.
00:02Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is a big ally of yours,
00:04said that she would rather see you focused on nonstop domestic policy meetings
00:08here at the White House instead of nonstop foreign policy meetings.
00:11What's your response to her saying that,
00:12and also saying that grocery prices are up and not down, as you've said?
00:16Yeah, so I don't know what happened to Marjorie.
00:20She's a nice woman, but I don't know what happened.
00:22She's lost her way, I think.
00:24But I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation.
00:29Not locally.
00:30I mean, we could have a world that's on fire where wars come to our shores very easily
00:35if you had a bad president.
00:37We had a horrible president, and we ended up with Russia-Ukraine,
00:40and we ended up with other disasters, too.
00:42Don't forget, I put out eight wars, nine to come.
00:46I think I'll get the other one taken care of.
00:47But I put out eight wars, and look at the damage that Russia-Ukraine has done to us as a country.
00:55I mean, we spent $350 billion.
00:57We're not spending any money anymore.
00:58Now they pay us through NATO.
01:00You know, I got NATO to go from 2% to 5%.
01:03Well, that's very important.
01:05When you're president, you really sort of have to watch over the world
01:08because you're going to be dragged into it otherwise.
01:10You're going to be dragged into a world war.
01:12I think if I weren't president, first of all, that war would have never happened if I was president.
01:19And if I weren't president, that war could have led to World War III.
01:24It won't.
01:24It's not going to anymore.
01:25But when I first got in, I said, wow, this situation could lead to World War III.
01:30And I got NATO together.
01:31I got everybody together.
01:32But with all of that, I passed a great, big, beautiful bill, which is the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country.
01:38So when somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's now catering to the other side, I don't know what, you know,
01:43because she's got some kind of an act going, but I'm surprised at her.
01:47But when somebody like Marjorie goes over and starts making statements like that, it shows she doesn't know.
01:53I don't devote a lot of my time.
01:55Let me give you another example.
01:57China.
01:57China was going to hit us with rare earth.
02:00Now, everybody says, well, what does that mean?
02:02Magnets.
02:03If China refused to give magnets because they have a monopoly on magnets because they were allowed to happen over a 32-year period,
02:12there wouldn't be a car made in the entire world.
02:15There wouldn't be a radio.
02:16There wouldn't be a television.
02:17There wouldn't be Internet.
02:18There wouldn't be anything because magnets are such a part.
02:20Now, nobody knows what magnets are.
02:23And not overly sophisticated, but to build a magnet system would take two years.
02:28So if I weren't able to say to China, look, if you're going to do that to us, we're going to charge you 158% tariff.
02:34It was 100% on top of 58%.
02:37And China called up immediately and said, we will make peace.
02:40And we made peace.
02:41We made a great deal.
02:43We made an unbelievable deal.
02:45China's paying tariffs to the United States, not the United States paying tariffs to China,
02:49which has always been the way it was.
02:51Nobody can believe these deals.
02:52But so when somebody makes a statement about he's devoting time to the world,
02:57well, the world is the United States because if the world's in trouble or if the world is ripping us off,
03:02you know, the world was ripping us off before I came here.
03:05Europe was getting massive tariffs.
03:08They were sending us 9, 10 million cars a year.
03:10We were sending them none.
03:12They were not taking our agriculture.
03:15We were taking massive amounts of their...
03:17It was so unfair.
03:18Now we have a deal where $950 billion is coming into the United States because of me and because of tariffs.
03:25So if I don't do all these things, our country is doing very poorly.
03:29So, you know, it's easy to say, oh, don't worry about the world.
03:33But the world is turning out to be our biggest customer.
03:35The world is...
03:37The world was on fire.
03:39And we could have been in that fire very easily if you didn't have a president that knew what he was doing.
