I didn't do it out of spite.
I did it because we have 93% of the,
as we say in the real estate business, frontage.
We have 93%.
They have seven.
So it doesn't make sense.
And Mexico didn't mind at all.
I got a call from the president of Mexico.
She's really a good woman, a nice woman.
Has one of the most beautiful voices.
I said, your voice is so beautiful.
But she does.
She has a beautiful voice.
She was a ballerina.
I don't know how the hell she went
from ballerina to the president of Mexico.
How the hell did that happen?
Now, she was a ballerina, beautiful woman, actually,
and she saw that I changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico,
and she called me, no, no, President, no, please,
please, please, President, tell me you're kidding.
I said, no, no, ma'am, I'm not kidding.
I'm really not kidding.
And I got it done.
It's done.
It was crazy, right?
Crazy.
and recently i changed the name
of a lake that fronts you know
the you know the lake i should
get it but i did it very lightly
and the damn thing got changed actually it's actually that's
power right when you sort of do it half-heartedly
and it gets changed it's changed it's called the
lake of america and then i got rid of the uh
and i just said because you don't need the uh i said
it's just called lake america
so it's very very nice canada's thrilled with that so we have
a lake and we have
a gulf now we need a river
and we need an ocean
so so i was thinking of the
hudson river but that's then i thought of the mississippi
and i said they'll never i'll never
do that the mississippi oh boy that would
be the can you imagine let's change the name of the
mississippi no i don't think that so we're looking for a river
but it's not going to be outstanding
because those are the those are the biggies i like the big ones
and then in oceans the only
oceans I would do because I'm very
I was always high end. I always get
my father said that kid has the greatest eye for
location so I only
I only like two oceans
the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean
I'm not going to put either Trump
or America on
any other ocean but these two so
we seriously looked at the Atlantic
Ocean and I called Google
Maps who are really great with the lake and
really great and I spoke to a brilliant
guy Sundar. He heads all of
Google. He's a brilliant guy. Sergey and
Sundar, totally brilliant guys,
and they're still rattled from the Gulf. And I said,
Sundar, I'm thinking of the Atlantic Ocean.
Can you handle it? No, no, no. This time I'm not doing
it. He said, ocean's a difference, sir.
They cover a lot of, they cover really a lot of
countries. Please don't ask us to do that.
So I'll probably pass. Should I pass? I think let's
keep it the Atlantic Ocean, right?
Pacific Ocean, we're going to call it the American Ocean.
How do you think Europe would feel?
Do you think they'd like that? What do you think,
Tim? Europe would be thrilled, right?
Ursula would call, oh, thank you very much. Anyway,
now we're doing pretty well, let me tell you.
Oil prices will soon plummet and all prices are
coming down very, very substantially
and they're coming down fast. And the United States,
without Venezuela, not including
the United States, has more
oil than Saudi Arabia and
Russia combined. Think of that.
And we're using it.
Drill, baby, drill. But when you
include Venezuela, we have the
single largest supply of oil
by far anywhere
in the world. That's not bad, because
I was never really in the oil business, so I did
very well. I made, and I
don't forget, I got Greenland.
Remember they said, oh,
how ridiculous. Remember?
look at my senators they were saying please don't
do this please no i got it fellas okay
i don't know if they were necessary it happened i was nasty
and i was upset with the european union
because it was denmark you know it's had it they've only had it
from 1592 1592 that's not
that old when you because president xi from china
was you know showing them i was showing them the
white house i was taking him for a tour that's 1792 1792
the white house that's when it was built
and i was showing president xi and i was so proud of it
because i fixed it you know it's a
it was like a dump they didn't take care
of it you think sleepy joe would say gee the wall's
not looking too good today he he didn't know he
was alive guy was was he the worst president
It was terrible.
Couldn't find his way off the stage.
He got about nine stairs.
Nine stairs.
You know, the federal government puts
it up so they have plenty of stairs.
They have a lot of cash.
He wants me to imitate Sleepy Joe.
I hate doing it.
You know what happens when I do that?
The fake news back there.
My wife said to me, she says hello.
She loves this state, by the way.
She loves the governor.
That man, because I used to mimic.
I used to mimic Joe
That man just said show us
You know what happens
The fake news
So I called my wife
I said how great was I
Look at all the media back there
All the fake news
So my wife watches
You like them less than I do
You have some very good people back there
I'd say you know
4, 5, 6% are serious
But my wife
Said to me
I mimicked Sleepy Joe
walking off the stage
I had a wall behind me in that case
and I walked into the wall
I walked around aimlessly
had no idea
and I thought the place was cracking up
and then I came back
and I finished my speech
and I said, baby how good was that tonight
was that the best, nobody can do it like me
baby, you see that crowd
and she said, what happened to you
are you okay
I said, what do you mean?
They had you walking around the stage hitting the wall.
Are you okay, darling?
So they took my little routine and they said that that was me doing it.
I said, that's the end of sarcasm.
You can't be sarcastic with fake news
because like sometimes I'll say something in jest
and they'll say, Donald Trump, Donald Trump said.
So you can't do it.
So for the gentleman that asked me to mimic him, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
But I don't think I'd better do this.
