Trump: The Art of the Insult

Welcome to the first debate night

at the 2016 presidential campaign,

live from Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

I'm Megyn Kelly.

In the center of the stage tonight,

businessman Donald Trump.

One of the things people love about you

is you speak your mind.

And you don't use a politician's filter.

However, you've called women you don't like

fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.

Only Rosie O'Donnell.

Rosie O'Donnell's disgusting.

I mean, both inside and out.

You take a look at her, she's a slob.

She talks like a truck driver.

I think the big problem this country has

is being politically correct.

If I were running The View, I'd fire Rosie.

I mean, I'd look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers.

I'd say Rosie, you're fired.

I don't frankly have time for total political correctness.

She's gonna move to Canada, Donald Trump,

if you get elected.

Now I have to get elected because

I'll be doing a great service for our country.

Now it's much more important.

In fact, I'll immediately get off this call

and start campaigning right now.

I was wondering what you would say

to President Obama.

You're fired.

Yeah, we ought to fire him.

I'd fire his ass right now if I could.

True.

Our national debt has doubled.

It'll be at 20 trillion dollars.

Great job, great job, Obama.

Our president doesn't have a clue.

He's a bad negotiator.

He's weak, and he's ineffective,

and he's not respected.

Give me one positive thing about President Obama.

It's very hard.

That's a very hard, that's the only really

tough question you've asked me this morning.

F, fail, F, fail, F F F.

President Obama, I highly think

you should read this book quickly.

Quickly.

We're gonna take this country back from these thieves

and these crooks and these horrible presidents,

these phony presidents.

Do you regret questioning President Obama's citizenship?

Why, or why not?

Not even a little bit.

I don't regret it.

Why would I regret it?

Says this is official, he was born in Hawaii

on this date, here it is.

Why do you deny that?

Many people do not think it was authentic.

His mother was not in the hospital.

And frankly, if you would report it accurately,

I think you'd probably get better

ratings than you're getting, which are pretty small.

He's now our president, he's our president.

You have no record, you can't be criticized.

Wonderful guy, he's a nice man,

but there was no record.

Nobody knew who the hell he was.

I backed McCain and I backed Romney.

McCain lost, Romney lost.

I said, damn it, the next time,

I'm just gonna do it myself, right?

John McCain goes, oh boy, Trump makes my life difficult.

He had 15,000 crazies show up.

What he did was that he fired up the crazies.

They weren't crazy.

They were great Americans.

He insulted me, and he insulted everybody in that room.

I supported him, he lost.

He let us down.

So I never liked him as much after that.

'Cause I don't like losers.

He's not a war hero.

He is a war hero.

He is a war hero.

Five and a half years

in the detainment camp. He's a war hero

'cause he was captured.

I like people that weren't captured, okay?

I hate to tell you.

When Mexico sends its people,

they're not sending their best.

They're sending people that have lots of problems.

They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime,

they're rapists.

I love the Mexican people.

I've had thousands of Mexicans working for me.

I sell apartments for millions of dollars

to people from Mexico.

They love me.

They love me.

Look at all the Latinos.

Thank you, Donald.

Let me see that sign.

I wanna see that sign.

Two waiters came up to me tonight.

Mr. Trump, we love you.

I said, where are you from?

Mexico.

I said, that's great, I love you, too.

I love Mexico.

But I said we need a strong border.

And by the way, they're coming from all over the world.

Including the Middle East.

Come on in, we're stupid, we'll take care of you.

We'll pay.

Get sick, we'll take care of your hospitalization.

What kind of a plan do you want?

16,500 border patrol agents endorse Donald Trump.

They know what's going on.

Build that wall.

Build that wall.

Build that wall.

Their job is much easier now.

'Cause when they're with me,

they're gonna be working hard.

Build that wall, build that wall, build that wall.

Right now, they just stand there and say,

oh go on through, hello.

Go on through.

Welcome to the country, right?

We'll take care of you for the rest of your lives.

They say, Donald, you don't really mean

we're gonna build a wall, do you?

And I say,

I say, absolutely we're gonna build a wall, 100%.

Now the wall is 10 billion to 12 billion dollars if I do it.

If these guys do it, it'll end up costing

200 billion dollars.

Don, you're a little controversial.

You're talking about illegal immigration.

I said, it's illegal.

You mean it's not politically correct

and yet everybody uses it?

No, I'll use the word anchor baby.

Excuse me, I'll use the word anchor baby.

Poor Jeb Bush.

I mean, this poor guy with this low energy.

It's sad.

No, it's sad.

I came up with that term.

It became so defining.

It's like having it on his forehead.

Jeb Bush is a low energy person.

For him, to get things done is hard.

I think Jeb is a nice person.

He's very low energy.

I'm not used to that kind of a person.

Jeb Bush, we call him low energy, low energy.

He really is, he's low, he's low.

He's low on energy.

You can't just tell Congress, you're fired,

and go to commercial break.

Look, Jeb is a nice guy.

He's a stiff, okay?

He ought to do what Walker did.

You think he should drop out?

Oh, absolutely, he has no chance.

And he's been branded as a low energy person.

I don't know who branded him that.

I don't know.

I can't imagine.

When you said low energy for Bush,

you defined him so incredibly.

It was over.

He can have 125 million dollars in the bank.

It's over.

Who would you rather have negotiate with Iran?

Trump or Jeb?

And I think you can see, I'm having a good time.

I really am.

You know, they said to Jeb Bush.

He was like this.

They said, are you having fun?

Yes.

I know how to do this.

My father always used to say,

son, you've gotta take the lumps out.

He thought every once in a while, I was too tough.

Take the lumps out.

Be soft.

Be a little bit like Jeb Bush every once in a while, soft.

I will be a commander in chief

that will have the back of the military.

He can't even put on a tie and jacket.

He's running for president.

I won't trash talk.
