Trump: I can't
believe how many people wrote in and emailed in about 405 in
California. That's the road that's just such a terrible
surface. It's sort of new; it's not that old, but it's such a bad
job. Whoever the contractor was, if they worked for me I wouldn't
have paid them; we would have ended up in court, I guarantee you.
This guy would not have been paid. But other people see it.
I'm so impressed; other people see it. The surface is bad.
It's done by a horrible contractor. So the money was spent, but
it wasn't spent wisely, and I guarantee you he had huge extras, he
charged more money—and that's why California's a mess. But I
guarantee he charged a lot of money, he said he did a great job, and
some government worker said, you know what, you're right; you're
entitled to the money. It's a disgrace. But I'm really
impressed by the fact that other people see it. You're driving
the car; you can't even drive in a straight line 'cause the road is so
out of whack it's moving the car left and right. Good going
people. You can work for me anytime.
Lots of people are asking about Charlie Sheen and whether or not he
should be fired. The fact is I know Charlie. He married a
person who is the daughter, as you understand, of a member of mine down
at the Mar-a-Lago Club down in Palm Beach, Florida. I know the
young lady and now because of that she's got problems. In fact I
told her mother, don't let it happen; just don't let it happen. I
like Charlie, but I said to the mother, don't let it happen.
You can't call all of the executives the kind of names that he's
been calling them. They have self respect also; they have
families also. Charlie went too far. They had no choice;
they had to fire him.
This country needs oil, we need energy if we're going to be great
again. And believe me the way we're going soon we won't be great
at all. We need energy. We have to be able to drill.
You look at the Gulf of Mexico where they're just not allowing
it. It's almost impossible to get drilling rights. We
cannot let an accident, which is already gone and taken care of; we
can't let accidents like that stop us from progressing. Every
time there's an accident, we stop work. I am in favor of
drilling. I am in favor of every form of energy we can get.
We don't want to be dependent on people that hate us, and believe me
they hate us. You go to the Middle East, we're hated. I
don't want to be dependent on those people and I wouldn't be dependent
for long.
Notes: Trump addresses the
405 freeway in Southern California, actor Charlie Sheen, and energy.
