Trump doing good. Blitzer asked him about the Cruz/Oswald thing, and about Obama-birther (Trump said Hillary started it, Blitzer came back and said Hillary denied [personally] doing it); asked about bailing out Puerto Rico, and now about Russian jets buzzing US ships. He'd call and say "don't ever do that again, it is highly disrespectful." Refused to answer "have you ever talked to Putin."

Asked about calming things in whatever the Muslim world is. He said they have to calm it themselves. Blitzer insinuates that closing the US border will not help this effort.

Trump is sticking with temporary ban on immigration from Muslims.

Blitzer says the idea of Japan making nukes is a sensitive issue - Trump says it is not sensitive, and segues into other countries having to pay for their self-defense. He says the US cannot afford to police the entire world. He's prepared to walk away if they don't pay the US, they are going to have to defend themselves. Blitzer says South Korea pays 50% of US troop cost. Trump says, why not 100%? LOL. Trump brings up US defense of Saudi Arabia, and that is a wealthy country.

Blitzer hits Trump with criticism from gates, that Trump doesn't understand negotiation with sovereign powers. Trump says "Gates doesn't understand loyalty."

Trump brings up China building a military fortress in the South China sea, and they are not supposed to do that.

Blitzer brings up the minimum wage, and Trump says, unlike most republicans, he is looking at that, but if you play too much with the lower end bad things happen, but the better fix is to bring back good jobs that pay much more than that. "Hillary doesn't have a clue, Sanders is beyond a socialist." Says many DEMs who wanted to vote for Trump in the primary were turned away, closed primary, says he would do very well in the general.
