Reporter: Can you describe your phone call with Gianni Infantino about the red card? Belgium is appealing the decision. Trump: You’re asking me about the whole soccer thing. So, yeah, I did. I spoke to Gianni. That wasn’t a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed who happened to crash into each other. You can’t properly place your foot on somebody else’s foot when you’re going full speed. No, these were two great athletes who got tangled up. And this referee, who is a little bit suspect—if you check his past. I don’t want to say that because I don’t like to create controversy, but very suspect. If you’d like, I’ll provide you with his past. He didn’t do anything wrong, and he’s our best player, or one of our best players—a very vital player—and they gave him a red card. I didn’t know what that meant. I didn’t think it meant much. Then I started hearing that it means you can’t play in the next game, at least in the next game. I said, “Boy, that’s a big—” You know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player—or just about; they have some great players—and say you can’t play, that’s very unfair. That’s one thing, to penalize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn’t been played yet? It’s very unfair. You can’t do that. So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who is highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.

Trump: A friend of mine, who’s extremely fat, sloppy, but very brilliant—he’s a brilliant businessman, but he’s a slob. There’s no question about it. A very neurotic person, which you need sometimes to be successful. He said, “I bought the fat drug.” I said, “I didn’t know you used it, because it’s not working.” And I use him as an example. He’s begging me not to use his name, so I won’t. But he’s a very successful guy. He’s actually a pretty well-known guy, a brilliant business guy, worth a lot of money.

Trump: I was in New York, and I met a great police officer in New York. He said, “Sir, I want to thank you.” I said, “For what?” He said, “My wife didn’t think very much of me. We were having marital difficulties, actually. She thought I was nothing. I’m a police officer. I’m a tough guy.” I looked at him—the muscles were all over the place. He didn’t suffer from that, but she thought maybe that muscle wasn’t so good because he was always losing money in the stock market. And he said, “Sir, in the last year and a half, my 401(k) is up 74%, sir, and she thinks I’m Warren Buffett. She thinks I’m a super genius.” I said, “How are you getting along with her?” He said, “Well, I’m not so sure I like her anymore.”

Trump: If I did meet with the new Ayatollah, I would be honored to meet him. Doocy: Do you think because Epic Fury killed his killed his dad and his wife and his kid that he's has hard feelings? Trump: I would say I'm not his favorite person, but with that being said, he's probably a pro—I don't know him—he's probably a professional in some circles, he has a very good reputation actually, you know, sometimes when people say bad, but a lot of people say bad about me . It's totally false, of course.

Elizabeth Warren: The whole idea that your taxpayer dollars are going to do what? Fund the guys that beat up police officers? Fund the guys that rioted to stop the transfer of power? Fund anybody that Donald Trump wants? This is corruption with capital letters and flashing lights and fireworks going off.
