Video transcript Look at this lion. He’s the king of the jungle. Huge mane, lot of hair. For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. The jackals, hyenas, they’re barking at him, laughing at him. We are transferring power back to you, the people. And they eat the food that’s in his domain. And they get closer and closer and bolder and bolder till one day that lion gets up and tears up everybody. Whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots. ‘Cause every once in a while the lion has to show the jackals who he is.

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."
