be treated fairly by other countries. If other countries are not going to treat you fairly, Larry, I think that those countries should be -- they should suffer the consequences.”[Larry King Live, CNN, 10/7/99] Trump: “Free Trade Is A Wonderful Thing.” KING: “So this isn't fair trade? Free trade isn't fair trade?” TRUMP: “No, free trade is a wonderful thing, and I believe in free trade, but, at the same time, it's got to be fair trade. You look at some of these -- I mean, look what Japan does with the cars and the subsidies and everything else, and look at Korea, with the ships and the subsidies they get. I mean, it's very unfair to this country. What is happening throughout the world in a business sense is very unfair. We could reduce taxes and take care of health care, and it would be beautiful, and you would have plenty of money left over.”[Larry King Live, CNN, 10/7/99] TRADE WARS TRUMP ON A TRADE WAR: “WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?” Trump Said He Was “OK” With Starting A Trade War, Saying “What Difference Does It Make.” CAVUTO: “You know, critics will say that invites a trade war right there.” TRUMP: “That’s OK. What difference does it make? I mean, we’re on the losing end. What difference does it make? We have such deficits with so many countries, we’re on the losing end. I mean, you look at Mexico, you look at some of these countries, we have such incredible trade imbalance that, what difference does it make? I would rather have no trade than the kind of trade we’re doing, because we are losing our shirts with most of these countries.”[Your World With Neil Cavuto, Fox News, 8/6/10] Trump Said It Did Not Matter If Products Cost More Because Of Chinese Trade Policy Because His Son Already Had Enough Toy Airplanes. BURNETT: “So, if we adjust the currency, if China adjusts their currency, a couple of negative things might happen in the U.S. Prices at Wal-Mart may go up and the U.S. is still just barely passed by China in terms of manufacturing. So, make the case for why now, why they adjust?... Right, because it will cost a little bit more to make them here, but that's the choice you make as Americans.” TRUMP: “You know, I mean, I have a child upstairs who's got nine airplanes. So, instead of nine, he'll three that will be made in this country, and I like that. And he wouldn't know the difference.” BURNETT: “No, he wouldn't. Who needs nine airplanes, right?” TRUMP: “He doesn't need it. They are stacked up in a corner. Who needs it? They will be made in this country.” [Outfront, CNN, 10/10/11] NAFTA AND WTO Trump In 1999: “NAFTA Is Going To Look Like A Disaster.” KING: “You shared Mr. Perot and Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Nader's belief with regard to NAFTA, right? You were an opponent of NAFTA?” TRUMP: “I am. And the reason NAFTA looks OK now is because the economy is strong, but when the economy is not strong, which, unfortunately, will at some point happen, NAFTA is going to look like a disaster.”[Larry King Live, CNN, 10/7/99] Confidential Page 179
