explain how that is going to happen, Mr. Trump?” TRUMP: “Yes, it's very simple. We're going to make a really dynamic economy from what we have right now, which is not at all dynamic. We're going to bring jobs back from Japan, we're going to bring jobs back from China, we're going to bring, frankly, jobs back from Mexico where, as you probably saw, Nabisco is leaving Chicago with one of their biggest plants, and they're moving it to Mexico. We're going to bring jobs and manufacturing back. We're going to cut costs. We're going to save Social Security, and we're going to save Medicare.” [Republican Presidential Debate, CNBC, 10/28/15] MEDICARE TRUMP HAS DEMONSTRATED A LACK OF THOUGHT ON MEDICARE In 2011, Trump Said That If He Decided To Run For President, He Would Have A Plan For Medicare. MALVEAUX: “And Mr. Trump, if you would, you said you thought that Paul Ryan was really in a dangerous area looking at Medicare, actually reforming Medicare. Is there another option? What would you do in a Trump presidency when it comes to Medicare? Because it's going to be bankrupt in 10 years. How would you solve that?” TRUMP: “Well, I'm studying that situation very, very closely. And if and when I decide to run -- and I really look forward to making that decision, to be totally honest with you. But if and when I decide to run, I'll have a plan.” [Newsroom, CNN, 4/7/11] Trump On Entitlements: “If We Did Something With Respect To OPEC… Medicare Would Take Care Of Itself.” TRUMP: “So, if we took our jobs back and we made this country strong again, and we made our own product, and we got together, not -- you don't get together -- if we did something with respect to OPEC, who is ripping us off like nobody's ever ripped us off before, Medicare would take care of itself.” [The O’Reilly Factor, Fox News, 6/10/11] TRUMP SAID HE STILL NEEDED TO REVIEW THE ACTUAL PLAN, BUT HE OPPOSED PAUL RYAN’S EFFORTS TO CONVERT MEDICARE INTO A VOUCHER SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WOULD HURT REPUBLICANS IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION Trump: “Republicans Are Going Way, Way, Way Far Out On The Ledge” By Proposing Medicare Vouchers. MALVEAUX: “You know, you mentioned the Republicans and the long- term plan. We're talking about $6 trillion worth of cuts in the next 10 years. That's the blueprint that they have laid out for the next budget battle. Do you agree that Medicare should be changed fundamentally, as the Republicans have suggested, to more of a system where the elderly would be offered vouchers for private insurance?” TRUMP: “I'd have to study the plan. I will tell you, I think it's very dangerous for the Republicans to go on this ledge, because I, for one, would have to be very, very careful. I will cherish our seniors. Our seniors are great. And I will cherish our seniors, and I wouldn't do anything to hurt the seniors. Now, what is happening -- and I have a lot of respect for Paul Ryan, but what is happening is the Republicans are going way, way, way far out on the ledge. And the Democrats are saying, oh, gee, look what they're doing. This -- whatever plans and whatever changes are going to be made, it has to be done in a bipartisan way. I don't think the Republicans should be out on this ledge. It should be led -- something has to be done, and it should be led by the president…. So I think what Paul has Confidential Page 115
