It’s a video.
There is no more text than what you see in the excerpt.
What I like is Trump kept his word. He paid cash for the building. He also got the seller to fix everything.

Good interview. Better than expected from Yahoo.
That is a terrific video! I hope every FReeper watches it!
Thanks for finding it and taking the time to post it.

Well, it certainly was until he paid a compliment to Hillary. Until then he looked and sounded like a pretty decent, smart, successful business man who was pretty impressive. How does someone like that believe that she is an accomplished person? Just too mind boggling to believe.

“”He did what a smart businessman should do.””
Admire a person whose entire life consists of lying? Is that what a smart businessman does?

My best friend is a chief on the department that I used to work for. He lives and breathes fire department stuff. He loves everything from the nuts and bolts to the politics of getting everyone to work together. He is a very honest person with a few similar exceptions.
The president of our local fire department union has always appeared to me to be a sociopath from the time he was one of my young underlings. Yet my best friend continues to be supportive of him. It reminds me of what Mr. Barrack said about Hillary in this interview. My friend isn't supportive of the union president because he wants to be, but he can't be openly critical and still work effectively with the union and many of the people who are members of the department.
It is a little frustrating to me that he will not talk candidly about the union president; he will only say positive things. But forcing himself to do this is probably much more aggravating to my friend. But he does not have the option of giving an accurate assessment of the union president without dealing with what could be very negative repercussions down the road.
So without being in Mr. Barrack's shoes I would be reluctant to be critical of what he said about Hillary. He knows both Trump and Clinton. He has endorsed Trump and that is good enough for me.
