After a juryconvictedyouof 34 felonieslastmonth, yousaidifreelected, youwould, quote, haveeveryrighttogoafter, unquote, yourpoliticalopponents.

Well, firstofall, I spenthalfmycareerbeingcriticizedbeingtheyoungestpersoninpolitics. I wasthesecondyoungestpersoneverelectedtotheUnitedStatesSenate.
Andnow I'm theoldest. Thisguy's threeyearsyoungerand a lotlesscompetent.
I thinkthatjustlookattherecord. Lookatwhat I'vedone. Look, I'veturnedaroundthehorriblesituationheleftme. As I said, 50 millionnewjobs, 800,000 manufacturingjobs, moreinvestmentinAmerica, overmillions, billionsofdollarsinprivateinvestmentinenterprisesthatwearegrowing.

Andthere's billions, about 40 billiondollarsalreadybeinginvestedandbeingbuiltrightnowintheUnitedStates, creatingsignificantjobsforAmericansfromallovertheworld.
Yeah, I would. Theideathatsomehowwearethisfailingcountry. I neverheard a presidenttalklikethisbefore. We'retheenvyoftheworld. Nameme a singlemajorcountrypresidentwhowouldn't tradeplaceswiththeUnitedStatesofAmericaforallourproblemsandallouropportunities. We'rethemostprogressivecountryintheworldingettingthingsdone.
We'rethestrongestcountryintheworld. We're a countryintheworldwhokeepsourwordandeverybodytrustsus, allofouralliesandthosewhohecoddlesuptofromKimJong-un, hesendsloveletterstoPutin, etcetera. Theydon't wanttoscrewaroundwithus.
Well, I tooktwotests, cognitivetests. I acedthem, bothofthem. Asyouknow, wemadeitpublic. Hetooknone. I'd liketoseehimtakeone, justone, a realeasyone, likegothroughthefirstfivequestions. Hecouldn't doit. But I tooktwocognitivetests.
I tookphysicalexamseveryyear. And, youknow, weknockonwoodwhereverwemayhavewoodthat I'm inverygoodhealth. I justwontwoclubchampionships, notevensenior, tworegularclubchampionships.

Hechallengedmeto a golfmatch. Hecan't hit a ball 50 yards. I think I'm inverygoodshape.
I feelthat I'm ingoodshapeas I was 25, 30 yearsago. Actually, I'm probably a littlebitlighter, but I'm inasgood a shapeas I wasyearsago. I feelverygood. I feelthesame.
But I took I waswillingtotake a cognitivetest. Andyouknowwhat? If I didn't dowell,
I acedhim. Dr. RonnyJackson, who's a greatguywhenhewasWhiteHousedoctor. Andthen
I tookanotherone, a similarone. Andbothoneofthemsaidthey'veneverseenanybodyacehim.
Well, yousaidsixfor 200. Well, anyway, that's it. Anyway, justtake a lookatwhathesaysheisandtake a lookatwhatheis. Look, I'd behappytohave a drivingcontestwithhim. I gotmyhandicap, whichwhen I wasvicepresidentdownto a six.
Andbytheway, I toldyoubefore, I'm happytoplaygolfifyoucarryyourownbag.
Thinkyoucandoit? That's thebiggestliethathe's a sixhandicapofall.
I wasaneighthandicap. Yeah, eight.
But I haveyouknow, I mean, I'veseenyourswing. I knowyouswing.
Well, I shouldn't havetosaythat. Butofcourse, I believethatit's totallyunacceptable.
Andifyouwouldseemystatementsthat I madeonTwitteratthetime, andalsomystatementthat I madeintheRoseGarden, youwouldsayit's oneofthestrongeststatementsyou'veeverseen. Inadditiontothespeech I madeinfrontof, I believe, thelargestcrowd I'veeverspokento. And I willtellyou, nobodyevertalksaboutthat.
Theytalkabout a relativelysmallnumberofpeoplethatwenttotheCapitolandinmanycaseswereusheredinbythepolice. AndasNancyPelosisaid, itwasherresponsibility, notmine.
Shesaidthatloudandclear. Buttheansweris, iftheelectionisfair, free, and I wantthatmorethananybody. And I'lltellyousomething. I wishhewas a greatpresidentbecause I wouldn't behererightnow. I'd beatoneofmymanyplacesenjoyingmyself. I wouldn't beunderindictmentbecause I wouldn't havebeenhispoliticalpoint, youknow, opponent, becauseheindictedmebecause I washisopponent. I wishhewas a greatpresident.
I wouldratherhavethat. I wouldn't behere. I don't mindbeinghere. Buttheonlyreason I'm hereishe's sobadas a presidentthat I'm goingtomakeAmericagreatagain. We'regoingtomake
Americagreatagain. We're a failingnationrightnow. We're a seriouslyfailingnation.
Andwe're a failingnationbecauseofhim. Hispoliciesaresobad. Hismilitarypoliciesareinsane. They'reinsane. Thesearewarsthatwillneverendwithhim.
Youwant a WorldWarThree, lethimfollowandwinandletPutinsay, dowhatyouwant, NATO.
Justdowhatyouwant. There's a thingcalledArticleFive. Anattackononeisattackonallandrequiredresponse. Theidea, theidea. I can't thinkof a singlemajorleaderintheworldwhowouldn't tradeplaceswiththejob I'vedoneandwhatthey'vedone, becauseweare a powerfulnation. Wehavewonderfulpeacebecauseofthepeople, notme. It's becauseoftheAmericanpeople. They'recapableofanything. Andtheystepupwhenthey'reneeded. Andrightnow, we'reneeded. We'reneededtoprotecttheworldbecauseourownsafetyisatstake. Andagain, youwanttohave a war, justletPutingoaheadandtakeKiev, makesuretheymoveon, seewhathappensinPoland, Hungary, andotherplacesalongthatborder. Thenyouhave a war.
PresidentTrump, as I comebacktoyoufor a followup, thequestionwas, willyouaccepttheresultsofthiselection, regardlessofwhowins?
Justtofinishwhathesaid, if I might. Russia, theytook a lotoflandfromBush.
Theytook a lotoflandfromObamaandBiden. Theytooknoland, nothingfromTrump, nothing.
Heknewnottodoit. You'renotgoingtoplaygameswithme. Heknewthat. I gotalongwithhimverywell, butheknewnottoplaygames. Hetooknothingfromme. Butnowhe's goingtotakethewholethingfromthismanrighthere. That's a warthatshouldhaveneverstarted. Itwouldhaveneverstartedeverwithme. Andhe's goingtotakeUkraine. Andyouknow, youaskedme a questionbefore, wouldyoudothis? He's gotusinsuch a badpositionrightnowwithUkraineand
RussiabecauseUkraine's notwinningthatwar. Hesaid, I willneversettleuntilsuchtime.
Ifit's a fairandlegalandgoodelection, absolutely. I wouldhavemuchratheracceptedthese. Butthefraudandeverythingelsewasridiculous. Andifyouwant, we'llhave a newsconferenceonitin a week. We'llhaveanotheroneofthesein a week. But I willabsolutely.
There's nothing I'd ratherdo. Itwouldbemucheasierformetodothat. Then I'm runningagain.
I wasn't reallygoingtorununtil I sawthehorriblejobhedid. He's destroyingourcountry.
I wouldbeveryhappytobesomeplaceelsein a nicelocationsomeplace. Andagain, noindictments, nopoliticalopponentstuff, becauseit's theonlywayhethinkshecanwin.
Butunfortunately, it's drivenupmynumbersanddrivenupto a veryhighlevelbecausethepeopleunderstandit. Let's seewhatyournumbersare. Andthiselectionisover.
Thereisnoevidenceofthatatall. And I tellyouwhat, I doubtwhetheryou'llacceptitbecauseyou'resuch a whiner. Theideaifyouloseagain, youacceptinganything, youcan't standtheloss.
