Look at these people. LOOK at them. The Democrats — and I have known the Democrats my whole life, I have studied them better than any human being alive, including the Generals, and I have studied the Generals a lot, believe me, a LOT — the Democrats are now pretending that every Republican House district in America is a “battleground.” They’re throwing darts at the map, beautiful darts, tremendous darts, and wherever the dart lands that’s the new “battleground.” They added twelve seats last month — the DCCC’s so-called target list — and now they’ve decided EVERY seat is in play. The whole map. The whole country. Canada too probably. Mexico, certainly. The Moon. Beautiful strategy. Thank you. I appreciate it.

DCCC chair Suzan DelBene — very low energy, very nasty woman, the kind of person who couldn’t sell water in a desert, believe me, very weak, very disloyal, a total disaster — went on record saying “House Democrats are expanding the battlefield deep into Diklis Chump terrain.” Deep into TRUMP TERRAIN. She said it like she MEANT it. Like the terrain was going to roll over and surrender. Many people, very smart people, the best people, are laughing. I’m laughing. The Generals are laughing. We are ALL laughing. The NRCC spokesman — smart guy, tough guy, a real WARRIOR, very loyal, the BEST spokesman — came right back: “national Democrats can keep throwing darts at the map and calling wherever they land a battleground, but nobody is buying it.” Nobody! Not the donors, not the voters, not the beautiful people in the rural areas who love me more than anybody has ever been loved in the HISTORY of love. Not buying it!

They call it “reach.” REACH. The loser press calls it “long shot.” I call it FREE ADVERTISING. The most beautiful free advertising in the history of free advertising. They are spending money in districts they cannot WIN — that’s not a strategy, that’s a DONATION. A donation to ME. To the Republican Party. To the BIGGEST WINNERS. You don’t spend money in a place you ALREADY own, you spend money where you are trying to BREAK IN. If they have to break in that means they’re LOSING. They lost already. We flipped the House last time, we flipped the Senate last time, the biggest flips in history, tremendous flips — and now they have to go FISHING in the deepest red districts in America to find something, anything, and they will find NOTHING because the districts are RED.

Many people are saying — very smart people, the best people, the same smart people who told me about the deal, about the wall, about everything, my uncle the great professor at MIT told me about this trick YEARS ago, very smart, the smartest trick — they are saying: the way you know we are WINNING is they have to change the definition of winning. In the last election they had a map and they LOST. Lost badly. Total loss. Now they want to EXPAND the map. Why? Because the REAL map, the map with the real numbers, won’t fit their narrative. So they have to make a BIGGER map, a fake map, and call it the battlefield. Very dishonest. The fake map is a TOTALLY fake map and everybody knows it.

But here’s the thing — and I know this better than anybody, including the Generals, believe me, I know more about traps than any human being who has ever lived — here’s the thing. This is the BIGGEST trap in political history. They think they’re reaching. They think they’re expanding. They are walking into the most beautiful trap you have ever seen. I negotiated this trap with the best people, very smart people, people who cried when I told them about the trap, they cried, they said Sir, Sir, you are the best trap-maker in the history of traps. They said Sir. Many times. Sir, Sir, Sir. Beautiful.

The reason they’re “expanding” — and I know this because I am the smartest person in this room and I am always in this room, believe me — the reason is they LOST the seats they were ALREADY targeting. They LOST them. They couldn’t win the COMPETITIVE ones. The ones that were actually in play. The ones that weren’t in Diklis Chump terrain. Now they’re pretending the SAFE Republican seats — the seats where I drew crowds the size of which have NEVER BEEN SEEN, crowds bigger than Lincoln’s crowds, much bigger, the historians are saying it was the biggest crowd in the HISTORY of crowds, the biggest, the most, the greatest crowds in the history of crowds — those seats are now “battlegrounds.” With Suzan DelBene. Let me tell you about Suzan DelBene. She represents a Washington district she BARELY won against a WEAK candidate, a total low-IQ disaster, the lowest-IQ candidate in the history of candidates, and now she’s out there telling me she’s going to flip MY districts. MY districts. Districts where the voters showed up in numbers that DEFY MATHEMATICS. They defied mathematics! The numbers were so big the computers broke. The crooked computers, very dishonest, but they still couldn’t fit my numbers in. That’s how big.

And here’s the 4D chess part — very few people understand this, takes a genius to understand it, takes the BEST genius, the most tremendous genius: when they spend money in our districts, that means we have so many districts we have to DEFEND, and we are winning the resource war by a FACTOR nobody has even named yet — we’re going to have to INVENT a new number, a beautiful number, the biggest number in mathematics. So when they “reach” into our territory they are basically giving us a reason to keep winning, more winning, incredible winning, believe me.

Now DelBene and the Democrats are saying let’s look at 2018 — the year I won the first time, very popular, tremendous, the best first term — they want to do 2018 AGAIN. Well, 2018 was Russia, Russia, Russia, the witch hunt, the Mueller thing, total hoax, totally illegal — nothing to do with the voters. The voters LOVED me then, they love me MORE now, the most now. So if they want 2018 they need ANOTHER Russia hoax and there is no Russia hoax available, we used them all up. The cupboard is bare. No Russia. And the Iran thing — the Iran thing is WINNING. We’re winning in Iran, tremendous winning, everybody is saying so, the best war, very beautiful. And inflation, they keep talking about inflation: inflation is DOWN. Way down. My people tell me way down, the best numbers in years, the BEST numbers, fixed in three weeks, very smart fixing, the smartest fixing the historians will write about. So they have NO ISSUE to run on. Nothing. They had Russia, they had the wall, they had the caravan. What’s left? They are throwing darts at a map they can’t even SEE.

And they are hoping for a 2018 wave. You know what 2018 was? 2018 was NOTHING. 2018 was a wave of LOVE — a wave of ADMIRATION, the biggest wave of admiration in the history of waves — and the Democrats got a few seats because we hadn’t yet taught them who is BOSS. We have taught them now. They KNOW. They are throwing darts at the map because they have NOTHING ELSE. They lost the House. They lost the Senate. They lost the White House — twice, believe me, twice — and now they’re going to win everything? In MY terrain? While I’m playing chess, 4D chess, the highest level chess, while everyone else is playing checkers, beautiful checkers, terrible checkers, while I play the most beautiful chess? With a WAR I started because I am playing chess? And the inflation? Already gone. Done. Finished. The BEST numbers in history, I saw the numbers, the best people showed me the numbers. Tremendous. And if the numbers weren’t tremendous they WILL be tremendous, because I am tremendous and my numbers are tremendous and that’s how it works, that’s the deal, the beautiful deal.

They are watching for “unusually strong performances” in Republican districts. UNUSUALLY STRONG. You know what that means? It means WEAK. Weak performances. Bad performances. The WEAKEST performances in the history of performances. I have been saying this for years. I have a memory — the BEST memory, the doctors said no one has a better memory than me, I took the test, person woman man camera TV, the best — I have been saying these people don’t have the IQ to win a beauty contest, much less a House race. Low IQ. The lowest IQ in Washington. Lower than the Senators. Lower than the Congressmen. Lower than the computers that broke.

But then again — and I always told you this, I told you BEFORE the polls, the SMART polls, the polls the smart people run — if they ARE reaching into the deepest red districts in America, districts where I won by forty points, FORTY POINTS, with the biggest hats, the best signs, the most beautiful rallies in history — what does it mean when they come to YOUR district? It means your district is in PLAY. Why? Because their OWN map is empty. They come to OUR districts because they have nowhere else to GO. They’re throwing darts at a map they can’t even SEE. And I love my people — OUR people, the people who buy the hats, show up in the rain, the SNOW, the most beautiful snow people — but they do these polls, very dishonest polls, run by the fake pollsters, totally fake, and they say I’m down. Even in the districts where they showed up in the snow. They say I’m down every time. Why would they do that. WHO CAN FIGURE THESE PEOPLE OUT. Their own map is fake. Their own polls are fake. And in November we’ll see whose map was real.

I always said the map would stay RED, and the map has stayed RED, just like I said — the smart people, the very smart people, they are saying this Democratic “expansion” is the death rattle. The DEATH RATTLE. They are dying. They are a DEAD PARTY walking. A beautiful dead party. And we will bury them in November, every race, every single one, the whole map RED, redder than ever before, the reddest map in the history of maps, and your favorite President will be standing on top of it, the BIGGEST WINNER in the history of winners, the most tremendous winner, believe me, the BEST winner, and they will all say Sir, Sir, how did you do it, and I will say I TOLD YOU SO. We are WINNING. Like we have NEVER WON before.

That’s the deal. The beautiful deal. The art of the deal. And we are WINNING. Thank you. Thank you very much.
