You know, um... you know, guys,
we-we've gotten to know
[2]
Donald Trump so well
over the past year.
[4]
I mean, well, at this point,
he's practically a member
[7]
of the family, um,
specifically the uncle
[9]
who hits on your wife
at funerals.
[11]
Um, but there is so much about
Trump that remains unexamined,
[14]
and that's why tonight
we're introducing a new segment
[16]
where we spotlight an obscure
moment from, uh, Trump's past.
[20]
-(clicking)
-I could do this all day.
[22]
I doubt I'll ever be involved
in politics beyond what I do...
[25]
And I really believe
in-in trashing your enemies.
[28]
I mean, I'd look her right
in that fat, ugly face of hers.
[30]
I'd say, "Rosie, you're fired."
[33]
Ah. Pure gems.
[36]
Today's, uh, lost Trump nugget,
[39]
a 1999 interview
with<i> The New York Times</i>
[41]
in which Trump shares
his thoughts on poor people.
[44]
Uh, but before we get to that,
let's just acknowledge
[46]
that Donald Trump has spent
a lot of time boasting
[48]
about his tremendous wealth.
In fact,
[51]
<i> according to this pie chart
we made up,</i>
[53]
<i> Trump has devoted a full 58%
of his campaign</i>
[56]
<i> to telling us how rich he is.</i>
[59]
And yet Trump has also managed
to attract the support
[62]
of many low-income voters,
as Trump himses...
[64]
uh, himself will attest.
[66]
Actually, the people I resonate
best with are poor people
[70]
and people
that are really blue-collar.
[72]
My base and the people
that like me best, frankly,
[75]
are poor people
and working people,
[77]
working-class people,
and I'm very proud of that.
[80]
Yeah, yeah. And, you know what,
it makes sense.
[82]
Opposites attract.
[84]
It's the same reason why Bert
and Ernie can't stop (bleep).
[87]
You know? It's a...
[89]
it's a thing.
[91]
But it's true.
[92]
Poor people love Trump.
[94]
In fact, among the poorest
[96]
<i> 50 counties
in the United States</i>
[98]
<i> that have voted thus far,
Trump has won 45 of them.</i>
[102]
And one of the things they love
most about Trump is his honesty.
[106]
Trump dominating among voters
looking for a political outsider
[109]
who tells it like it is.
[110]
He doesn't care
what people think.
[112]
Donald Trump speaks the truth.
[114]
He's not politically correct,
[115]
and he says what is on his mind.
[117]
Yep, he says
what is on his mind.
[120]
And that's what people
are looking for.
[122]
Finally,
a president with the guts
[124]
to tell Mexicans
that they are rapists.
[126]
Take that, Abraham Lincoln,
you coward!
[129]
In other words,
poor people love Trump
[132]
because he says
what he really thinks.
[134]
So what does Donald Trump
really think
[135]
about the poor people
who make up his base?
[137]
Well, let's look up, uh,
that old interview
[140]
with<i> The New York Times. </i>
And I... and I-I quote,
[143]
"I've watched politicians
bragging about how poor
[145]
"they are,
how they came from nothing,
[147]
"how poor their parents
and grandparents were.
[149]
And I said to myself..."
That was him thinking
[151]
what he says to himself.
"'If they can stay so poor
[154]
"'for so many generations, maybe
this isn't the kind of person
[156]
"'we want to be electing
to higher office.
[158]
How smart can they be?'"
[160]
And then... It's a rhetorical
question, but he-he elaborates.
[163]
"They're morons."
[166]
Incredible.
[168]
Donald Trump told the newspaper
that he thinks poor people,
[170]
the people voting for him now
in droves, are morons.
[174]
Yeah, it's like something
a cartoonishly evil
[176]
comic book villain would say,
"Poor people are morons.
[179]
"Now get out of this soup
kitchen so I can bulldoze it
[181]
to build a water park
for my pet tiger!"
[186]
And-and just in case
Trump's disdain for the poor
[189]
wasn't entirely clear,
he goes... he goes on to say,
[192]
"Do you want someone
who gets to be president
[196]
"and that's literally
the highest paying job
[198]
he's ever had?" Yeah.
[201]
So, in other words, Trump wants
America to be a plutocracy.
[204]
You know?
So Trump thinks, basically,
[207]
that a normal-income person
can't be president.
[210]
Like, if you don't earn
rich money,
[213]
you'll just be (bleep) all over
the White House or something,
[215]
running around. Secret Service
going, "Mr. President,
[218]
what are you doing?"
"I don't know any better.
[220]
"I'm middle-class!
[222]
My kids are in public school!"
[226]
Now, normally,
slamming the intelligence
[228]
of your own fan base
would destroy a candidate,
[230]
but, obviously, we know that's
not going to happen to Trump.
[232]
We just... we just wanted
to bring it to your attention
[234]
because, uh,
once Trump is president,
[236]
this segment
will become illegal.
[238]
So, uh, there you have it.
We'll be right back.
