We need to beat all the other countries that keep sending us murderers and mentally insane people. But so many of our schools are failing; they’re terrible. It’s true, you can look it up. All these other countries, total losers, are beating us. In fact, we’re dead last. The only countries we’re beating are the ones I’ve never heard of. It’s not good.
It’s a problem. We’ve got these big, beautiful deals I’m making with China and Saudi Arabia and the queen of England. But we’ve got these terrible schools. It’s no good. That’s why I did those tariffs. Other presidents didn’t have the guts. They ruined the country. I’m fixing it. You’re welcome. But that means we need people right here who can make our French dressing and Swiss cheese and Chinese checkers and IKEA furniture. You need to learn French and Swiss and Ikean so you can do that.
That’s more important than dolls. You don’t need thirty dolls. You just need three. You don’t need 250 pencils. You just need five. Really, you just need one. And with AI and computers, you don’t really need any. I said this to the guy who invented AI. He said, “Sir, that’s so true. You’re smarter than any of our computer people.”
Look at me. I went to the best schools, the best ones, and now I’m president. It’s a terrific thing. Terrific. For me, for your parents, for the country. I could work in a factory. I could. The best people have said so. But that’s your job.
When I was about your age, my father, Fred, a very, very great man—he sometimes called me husky, but I wasn’t; I was just the right weight for my height, everyone said so. And I’ve married many beautiful women. So, my father told me he’d give me a little bit of money to get started. But only if I finished school. When I did, he gave me a little bit, just a little bit. A million dollars. Just enough to get started. You need to stay in school, too. That first million helps. It does, that’s so true.
I sent my own children to the very best schools. The best ones. That big, beautiful diploma on the wall is very helpful. But some of those colleges have now become terrible places full of radical communist thugs who hate America. We’re fixing that. My lawyers, very good lawyers, are handling that. There’s a transition but we’ll get there. It’s like I told Putin and the queen of Iran. We can all be friends.
My kids help run my very, very successful businesses. Now, I’ll be honest—because I’m very honest—my kids would work for me even if they’d dropped out. Because that’s the kind of father I am. So tell your parents to be very successful. That’s so important. Then you’ll always have a nice job.
I’m not just the president, you know. I also own so many of the best properties, the best hotels. If you haven’t stayed at a Trump Hotel, you should. Tell your parents. The rates are very, very reasonable—the best for all the wonderful things you get.
