Video transcript It’s crazy because as I was saying to one of the guys, Colton, who was talking to me here. They tell you MAGA is dead. And they’re trying to convince you that MAGA is over. It’s finished. Well, when you go to these events, you see the passion for Trump. They care deeply about Trump. And these frauds that are out there trying to tell you MAGA is dead. You know, you also have the podcast people. You have people like Tucker Carlson. You have Alex Jones. These people that have turned on Trump. These people are here for them. They didn’t come out here for that. That’s not why they got motivated to get to the ballot box. It wasn’t because of something Megyn Kelly said. It wasn’t because of what Tucker Carlson said or Candace Owens said. They’re here because of Trump. That’s why they’re here. And so the people trying to tell you that MAGA is broken apart are full of nonsense. And they’re just trying to make their money off the audience they grew by telling you they supported Trump. They spent their whole career. They built their entire audience off the back of President Trump. That’s what they did. And now that they got their audience, they’re trying to turn them against Trump. And it’s a disgrace. President Trump needs the MAGA crowd to come out to support him in the midterms. That’s what he needs. If those cry babies, like the ones you see in the chat, like the ones you see on social media, if those cry babies say, well, we’re not coming out to vote, we’re going to stay home. That’s fine. As long as MAGA shows up, we can win the midterms. That’s what’s going to determine it. So Trump understands this, and that’s why he’s hitting this campaign trail so hard as if he is on the ballot. And he keeps saying, pretend that I’m on the ballot. And that’s why he does it. Now, it’s funny because they put the CNN poll saying that 98% of MAGA supports Trump. Well, of course they do. MAGA simply means I support President Trump. President Trump is MAGA. He is the MAGA movement. There is no MAGA without Trump, right? That is MAGA. So when they say MAGA supports Trump 99%, I mean, what are the 1%? What are they doing? MAGA is just about supporting Trump. And that’s what he needs to show up big on November 3rd. Now here in Montana, they have same-day registration. So if you’re not registered, you can do it the same day that you’re going to vote. But they have early voting. And no matter where you are, if they have early voting, you’ve got to do it. Because whenever they show the results, early voting the Democrats always dominate that. And we always say, I want to vote on election day in person. And that is the way it should be. But we’ve got to play the game that they’re playing.

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."
