President Trump: He Wants What's Good for Russia, I Want What's Good for the United States
Read Transcript
What do you think he wants?
I mean, I know he
said what he wants.
But what do you
think his game is?
Well he wants what's
good for Russia.
PAT ROBERTSON: Yeah.
And I want what's good
for the United States.
And I think, like in
a case like Syria,
where we can get
together do a ceasefire
and there are other cases,
there are many other cases
where getting along can
be a very positive thing.
But always, Putin is going
to want Russia and Trump is
going to want United States.
And that's the way it is.
And sometimes you're not
going to get along on things,
and sometimes you will.
But we had a good meeting.
It was a face-to-face meeting.
It was a long meeting.
It was two hours and
15 minutes, everyone
was surprised by
the amount of time.
But that was a good
thing, not a bad thing.
PAT ROBERTSON: Sure.
Yeah, I think we
got along very well.
And I think that's a good thing.
That's not a bad thing.
Yeah, of course not.
People said, oh they
shouldn't get along.
Well who are the people
that are saying that?
I think we got along
very, very well.
We're a tremendously powerful
nuclear power and so are they.
PAT ROBERTSON: That's right.
It doesn't make
sense not to have
some kind of a relationship.
We used to have a thing called
mutually excused destruction
mad.
And it's still there,
because he can hurt us.
He can decimate
our country, and we
can do the same thing to him.
It's something you don't
even like talking about,
but again we're the most
powerful country in the world.
And we are getting
more and more powerful,
because I'm a big
military person.
As an example, if
Hillary had won,
our military would be decimated.
Our energy would be
much more expensive.
That's what Putin
doesn't like about me.
And that's why I say,
why would he want me?
Because from day one, I
wanted a strong military.
He doesn't want to see that.
And from day one, I want
fracking and everything else
to get energy prices low and
to create tremendous energy.
We're going to be
self-supporting.
We just about are now.
We're going to be
exporting energy.
He doesn't want that.
He would like Hillary, where
she wants to have windmills.
He would much rather have that,
because energy prices will
go up and Russia, as you know,
relies very much on energy.
[INAUDIBLE]
There are many
things that I do
that are the exact opposite
of what he would want.
So when I keep hearing about
that he would have rather had
Trump, I think probably not,
because when I want a strong
military-- you know she
wouldn't have spent the money
on the military-- but when
I want a strong military,
when I want tremendous energy--
we're opening up coal, we're
opening up natural gas,
we're opening up fracking-- all
the things that he would hate.
But nobody ever mentions that.
