Trump today:
Perhaps it’s easy for politicians to lose touch with reality when they’re being paid millions of dollars to read on a teleprompter speeches to Wall Street executives instead of spending time with real people in real pain.
Don’t forget when I ran in the primaries, when I was in the primaries, everyone said you can’t do that in New Hampshire, you can’t do that. You have to go and meet little groups, you have to see — cause I did these big rallies, 3,4, 5 thousand people would come. And they said, wait a minute, Trump can never make it, because that’s not the way you deal with New Hampshire, you have to go into people’s living rooms, have dinner, have tea, have a good time.
I think if they ever saw me sitting in their living rooms they’d lose total respect for me. They’d say, “I’ve got Trump in my living room, this is weird!”
By the way, he read that speech today (badly) from a teleprompter.
