“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor

and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good

genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton

School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if

you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if,

like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m

one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s

true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they

try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start

off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there,

went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to

give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little

disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the

thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy,

and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is

powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many

years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he

would explain the power of what’s going to happen and

he was right—who would have thought?), but when you

look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it

used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and

even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger;

fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they

haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now

than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about

another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators,

the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just

killed, they just killed us.”
