Video transcript I’m 78 years old. Underneath this beard is a handsome young guitar player, I promise you. But I’m not going to let my beloved United States of America continue down the toilet for my grandkids. Those men that spoke tonight and Miss Kansas, the best attorney general in America—you have the best attorney general in America. Hey! Hey! Hey, ATF, it’s a muffler. I don’t need a permit for a muffler. I got one on my tractor. Do you even know what I’m talking about? Anyhow, so the words of iron from these people who are dedicated—it’s a pain in the ass to be in politics. But politics is we the people thanking those flag-draped coffins for their sacrifice by voting for the beliefs they died for. I was at a campfire yesterday and at my campfire, you know, I’m a smart ass, but I’m humbled. I’m honored. I’m genuflecting at the altar of my responsibilities to vote for the freedoms that they died for. And I had the U.S. Army with me yesterday. I had the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force. I had the Coast Guard. I had the U.S. Marine Corps at the campfire with me. That’s why I’m like this, because I owe them. And so you’ve always seen me rock and roll on stage, but I’ve always stood up for the truth, logic, and common sense, the God-given individual freedoms that they died for that is guaranteed in that sacred U.S. Constitution. But here’s the kicker, my friends. This is awesome. You’re awesome. But this ain’t good enough. You being here doesn’t mean jack squat unless your entire family, your coworkers, people at church and school, at the deer camp, at the bar, at the bowling alley—anybody still bowl? Anyhow, I bowl with a 10mm. Anyhow, if you don’t go out and get everybody you know to vote for Christian constitutional conservative conservation, this is the heartland. You are the heartbeat. Let’s hear for the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department and the Wichita Police Department. Let’s hear for the Kansas State Troopers. Let’s hear for the Secret Service. Let’s hear for the FBI. Let’s hear for Sheriff Nugent. Oh, it’s real. And you’re under arrest. Anyhow, that’s the kicker here. Again, you being here, I love it. It’s moving. I’m inspired. I’m motivated. I’m stimulated. You can tell. But if you don’t number one inspire like-minded Christian constitutional conservative conservationist, if they don’t vote, Hillary Clinton would like to thank them. You see this hat? This hat says Hunter Nation. And we found, much to my heartbreak, that in Kansas 50% of Kansas licensed hunters didn’t vote. Hunter Nation texted and emailed and I called them and I did robo call things—techno gonzo stuff. I’m so good at gonzo stuff. And when we get those licensed hunters and fishermen and trappers and landowners—real conservatives—when we get them to vote, we could eliminate the Democrat Party. That’s the goal. They’re not Democrats. They’re communists. I don’t like communists. I want them out of here. Vote God, family, country. Thank you for even allowing me to speak to you. I’m humbled. I’m honored. And I’m a dangerous force because I’m going to fight like the third monkey trying to get on Noah’s ark so my kids don’t have to live with jihadists and communists. Thank you, Kansas. Thank you, real Kansas. Thank you, Donald J. Trump. Thank you, real conservatives. Thank you, shitkickers. USA! USA! USA!

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
