The true measure of the leader is the leader who actually understands the strength is not in beating people down, it's in lifting people up. I intend to be that President Trump. Your well, first of all, I wasn't given $400 million. I wish I was. My father was a Brooklyn builder, Brooklyn, Queens, and a great father, and I learned a lot from him. But I was given a fraction of that, a tiny fraction. (39:41–39:44)
