00:00Are you concerned that this move, the tariffs this week, could push some of the United States'

00:05closest allies to work with China?

00:07No.

00:08I'm not worried about it.

00:09I'm not worried about it, yeah.

00:11If you were allowed, for some reason, to run for a third term, is there a thought that

00:15the Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you?

00:20I'd love that.

00:21For his third term?

00:22Oh, I'd love that.

00:23That would be a good one.

00:24I'd like that.

00:25No, people are asking me to run, and there's a whole story about running for a third term.

00:29I don't know.

00:30I've never looked into it.

00:33They do say there's a way you can do it, but I don't know about that, but I have not looked

00:36into it.

00:37And he's a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete, and he told me about it.

00:41And I said, Tiger, that's good, that's good.

00:45I'm very happy for both.

00:46I just let them both be happy.

00:49Let them both be happy.

00:50They're both great.

00:52I think this is going to be an amazing, you know, I call it a lot of different names,

00:57but it's really, in a sense, it's a rebirth of a country, because how we could have afforded

01:02to do what we did, we helped everybody, and they don't help us.

01:08We are going to be very nice by comparison to what they were.

01:12The numbers will be lower than what they've been charging us, and in some cases maybe

01:17substantially lower, but we sort of have a world obligation, perhaps.

01:21But we're going to be very nice.

01:23Relatively speaking, we're going to be very kind.

01:27Somebody said that about me the other day.

01:29He said, who doesn't know me very well, they said, you're such a kind person.

01:35And I said, say that again.

01:37They said, you're a kind person.

01:40I said, I've never heard that before.

01:42It was a weird saying, but I was kind.

01:44I've heard of words that, I don't know, I better not tell you.

01:47You know, I've heard of, I've been called a lot of things, but sort of a different kind

01:51of a word.

01:52It's like an old-fashioned word, isn't it?

01:55It could be next month, maybe a little bit later, yeah.

01:59And we're going to Qatar also, and also we're going to possibly a couple of other countries.

02:09UAE is very important.

02:11It's a great leader, UAE.

02:14And I had his brother here the other night, if you saw that.

02:24Yeah.
