Donald Trump: (50:03)
So heres what happened, the bottom line. Boeing says, No way, no way, no way. The next week they say, No way were doing it. The next week they said, How about $5 billion? I said, No way. No way. The next week they said, $4.8. I said, Nope. Its got to have a 3 at the front of it. Dont you understand, you dumb son of a bitch? Dont you understand? I turned out to be right. Turned out to be right. Nobody gets that. Nope. Got to have a three. Next day, they come back, $4.5 is our best offer. Nope. Im not doing it. Im not doing it. Come back when youre ready. A month goes by, another month, they never heard about it, they never heard from me, they thought I was serious, I was, and they came back at $4 billion.
