because of what he's done with Russia. And it was Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton and some others in the DNC that they made up a
So think of how bad you have to be. You make up a phony story about Russia, Russia, Russia. The Russia hoax. You have the dossier.
You have the whole thing. It's all fake. They paid 12 million dollars or something for the dossier 12 million. They gave this guy steel
a fortune to do a fake story. It's called the fake dossier, right? They go to my son. They know it's fake.
It's not like they're trying to, they think it's real. They know it's a fake because they made it up. And they say Donald Trump Jr. will go to jail.
So I call up my son, I said, are you okay? Is there something I don't know? How bad do you have to be when you can say about a story?
The story that you made up that you know is fake, that my son is going to go to jail because of the story. Yes. I mean, I called him. I called him up.
I knew it wasn't true, but I said, this guy, these are not stupid people. I call him watermelon head. He's got the thinnest neck I've ever seen.
how it holds up that head. He's got a neck that's about a size 6. Very unattractive guy, both inside and outside.
And people say, oh, that's such a terrible thing to say. That's OK. Very unattractive guy. Here's the thing. These are bad people.
And it's not easy to deal with, you know, when you have your kids involved or your family, your wife, and you read stuff.
And most of it is untrue. It's just totally untrue. But think of that. They make up a story.
and then they say your son's going to jail for something that they know is false. These are bad people. Yeah, for me it is. For me.
I've become, I don't know, I've become different. Maybe it would have been tougher.
I think the fact that I have such unbelievable support helps me a lot. It doesn't bother him. It's not easy. And he's a great
He's a good student. He's, you know, got accepted to different colleges. Some of those colleges, all of a sudden, they're writing all over the place. You know, you're saying...
But he's a good boy, he's a tall boy. Very tall. He's very tall. And he's a great kid. He's a good looking kid.
And, you know, he's going to be going to college. But he doesn't say it, and I think he doesn't say it because he doesn't want to hurt him.
and I think it's possibly a hurtful conversation. It has to affect my family. I think that's really unfair.
very good family, I have good kids, I have a wonderful wife. I mean, it's not easy for her to read this kind of stuff that's fake.
That's fake stuff. But that's the way it is. It certainly is not a good thing.
Yeah, it affects me more than it would if it were just about me. I wish it could be just about me. I think good, but I don't think it's an easy thing for her.
And I think if it wasn't good, she wouldn't want to tell me about it, to be honest with you. Because, you know, she sees that I'm fighting like —
I'm trying to become president and make America great again. That's what we're going to do. We're going to make America great again. They put tremendous obstacles in our way.
including the 20 million people that are going to be in here by the time this guy gets out. It's an election we have to win.
We're not going to have a country left if we don't win this election. I think you'll be impressed. We have to unite the country. We have to save the country. We have to save the country.
You're watching Merritt Street. Stay tuned for a live town hall discussion immediately following Dr. Phil's interview with President Trump.
Maybe not in the way you expressed. That's a very interesting way of expression actually of that that question
I haven't really I think to a certain extent. I think that my family Wants me to do it our country's in trouble
We could be in a world war very soon. We could be, we're going to end the problem. Think of it. We're going to end Ukraine fast. I'm going to end it fast. I know both.
I know Zelensky, I know Putin very well. I'm going to get it ended. That is a horror show that's going on over there. But think of it.
Why are we hundreds of billions of dollars more money? Why is this happening? Why is Europe sending a fraction of the money that was
There are so many different things about that that are just wrong. My family is good. My family loves this country.
and I think they feel that I do a good job. Look, we had the most successful country we've ever had during my time.
We had the greatest economy in history of any country. Interesting question. Well, they tolerate it, but at least
Yeah, they tolerate it. I think they love the country. I think they think that I do a good job. I think they feel that some lot of people say that this is
I get it so often, and I'm not sure it's right. They say there's nobody else that can straighten out this country.
Just recently, he's a strong man from a very interesting country, and he knows Russia very well.
well. He knows Zelensky very well. He knows Ukraine. But he said the only one hungry.
He said the only one that's going to straighten this out is Trump because he didn't use the word respect. He used the word they were afraid of.
I don't want to say that about these people, these other leaders. I don't want to say they're afraid. I'm not going to use that term. But let's use the word responsible.
They respected me. They respected me and they respected our country and they knew if they played games I was going to hit the hell out of with tariffs
and lots of other things. We have a lot of weapons, not just military weapons. I rebuilt our entire military, by the way. Our entire military is rebuilt.
And this person that we have leading us, if you can call the word leading with quotes, he gave away $85 billion.
with the brand-new military equipment in Afghanistan. In my opinion, the lowest day in the history of our country.
I think probably the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country was what happened, the way we pulled out of Afghanistan.
People behind we had 13 soldiers who I met the parents had devastated killed nobody ever talks about
that you would talk about them. I put them right at the top. 38 soldiers who are no arms, no legs.
His face is just wiped out. They're trying to live, you know, trying to live. Nobody ever talks about that. They talk about 13 dead.
Absolutely. But they don't talk about 38 soldiers that have been wiped out. And then hundreds of people were also killed.
You know, hundreds of people with this madman set off a bomb. Should have never left them. They should have been in Bagram. We should have kept Bagram. We should have kept Bagram.
Bagram is one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. We gave it up. You know who's occupying Bagram right now? China.
China. We gave the biggest Air Force base one of the biggest runways, one of the most powerful runways.
Eight foot thick of concrete, built when the dollar was very big. Okay? Years ago.
We gave it to the Chinese. It should never happen. We've done... I think that was the most embarrassing day. And I have to tell you...
if that didn't happen I don't know that Putin would have gone in. I think Putin watched that catastrophe and he said hey this is a great time to attack Ukraine. I think so.
Yeah, I think so. I'm okay with that. I am. I'm okay with that. Sometimes, I'm sure in certain moments, I wouldn't be.
And I got rid of Comey and I got rid of a lot of people. I got rid of a lot of people. Thousands of people. At the VA, I cleaned it.
9,000 people. They were sadists. I got rid of them. But what they've done is bad. With all of that being said, we have to unite the country.
The country has to be united. This country is a mess. I think you'll be impressed. We have to unite the country.
We have to save the country. That's not really saving the country. There are people that did some bad things I know who they are and all of that
But as an example with Hillary Clinton, I'd say, I'd mention her name, everyone's screaming, thousands and thousands.
We just had 107,000 people show up in New Jersey. You saw that. Twenty-five thousand people showed up.
the South Bronx. We had Wildwood, New Jersey. 107,000 people. It's a record. They've never had that.
When I mention the name Hillary in the previous to the last election, they said, Al-Qarabla, Al-Qarabla, Al-Qarabla.
But I would be there and I turned to almost quite a minute. They were going crazy. How would it be I win and I
Lock Hillary Clinton up the president's wife the former president's wife. I locked her up and how would it be of a
took the Secretary of State, your Secretary of State, and we threw her into a prison someplace. I think it was terrible.
Yet now they're trying to do that with me think of it. I didn't want to do that. I could have done that pretty easily
She busted up her phones and she busted up her her laptops and what they did and they put bleach bit, you know a bleach bit
is it so expensive nobody uses it because it's an acid and it wipes everything out. Could have done it really easy. Don't forget.
She disobeyed a subpoena from the United States Congress, and she broke up all this machinery, all this technology, after she got...
The subpoena, think of it. How would it look if I took the, a president of the United States wife...
and threw her into a prison. I hated it because I wanted to bring the country together, and I largely did.
and I brought it together through success because it was the most successful economy in the history of our country. Okay. Now the difference is they're trying to do it to me.
And maybe you could feel differently about it, but I don't feel differently. Retribution is going to be through success. We're going to make it very successful.
We have to bring the country together. I think you'll be proud of the job we do. And you know, the word revenge is a very strong word.
but maybe we have revenge through success. But that's what I'd like to see. I want to see the country survive, because this country is not going to survive like this.
We want to make America great again, and that's what we have to do. And I think he'd be very proud of the job we did. Well, revenge does take time.
I will say that does and sometimes revenge can be justified for I have to be honest. You know sometimes it can't
And I think the country is really worse for what they've done. And I think you see that when you look at the poll numbers, when you see that
Almost $400 million has poured in since this horrible decision was made.
made. That was a few days ago. Numbers that nobody's ever heard of in politics before. It's a great honor.
The people of our country get it. You know, they're very smart. As a whole, I have to say they're very smart. But it's been an honor being with you.
It really has and I think you'd be very proud of the job we do. It's been a beautiful thing to watch Thank you. That may have been the longest interview I've ever done
And you think Biden could do that interview? I don't think so. After about two questions, I think that will be the end of it.
Anyway, this was crazy. He wouldn't do it. We covered a lot of territory. I have said no for a year.
He said something yesterday that's very interesting. He should not be president and it matters, it doesn't matter who runs against him. When he said that I said, hmm.
You know that, right? Did you hear that statement? He said it doesn't matter who runs against him. With all that being said, people say yes. He's going to just...
I can't yet, but we have some very good people. I'm going to do it in the convention. Come up during the convention, we'll do an interview.
