EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "Well, nothing happened for four years when he was in the White House. In fact, we had a peaceful world. We had a stable world. We had world leaders who were coming to the table to talk about issues, like Kim Jong-un of North Korea, by the way. You know, Obama, when he left the White House, told my father-in-law, he said, 'The biggest problem you’re going to have is North Korea. It is going to be your biggest challenge. It's going to be the hardest thing you’re gonna have to deal with.' And so Donald Trump said, 'All right, I’m going to see what we can do here,' because we want to have a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. We do not want North Korea with a nuclear weapon. That is detriment — I mean, talk about nuclear war, can you imagine? Talk about loose cannon, Kim Jong-un, really? And so he started trying to make contact with him, and He was the first president to walk across the DMZ And shake hands with the leader of North Korea to have conversations about getting rid of a possible nuclear weapon with North Korea. That is great for the world. The world leaders did not even try it with Donald Trump because they knew he meant business. When he drew a line in the sand, he meant it. And the proof is in the pudding. So you can say, oh, well, we're worried about this — you had four years. You had no new wars. You had peace agreements instead of wars breaking out in the Middle East. Look at it right now. It is a hornet's nest and it is very scary, the trajectory from here to what could happen if you don't have the right leadership in the world."
