I have tremendous energy, tremendous, to a point where it's almost ridiculous when you think about it. But we need somebody with great energy, with great passion, with great deal making skills. I'm going to make the great deals. I am going to make great deals for our country. What I do is I do deals, I deal. I negotiate by creating leverage so I can extract a good deal for the United States, for the people. I make deals. I negotiate. Everybody wants me to negotiate. That's what I'm known as a negotiator. I'm so anxious to negotiate. Nobody can out-negotiate these deals. I will make a great deal and lots of great deals for the American people. I am a deal maker and that's what the country needs is a dealmaker. We don't make great deals anymore, but we will once I become president. I'm a closer. We're going to close. We're going to start winning so much. Just like the video. We're going to win and win and win!
