| And I remember after 34 felony convictions, he turned around, shook my hand, we walked out together, we hopped in the car, and we were actually going to a fundraiser. | |
| We were in court by day. | |
| We were fundraising by night. | |
| We were, you know, campaigning by night. | |
| And I remember as soon as we got in the car, he looked at me. | |
| He goes, I don't know how, but we're going to win. | |
| I don't know how, but we're going to win. | |
| And he wasn't just talking about the court case, which we had overturned. | |
| We won it. | |
| But the overall election, right? | |
| I mean, you had every press member in the back of those courtrooms and they were giving him a 0% chance. | |
| And, you know, it's funny. | |
| And in his early life, he wrote, you know, The Art of the Deal. | |
| Then his second book was The Art of the Comeback, you know, talking about obviously his business career in the 90s when everybody thought he was down and out. | |
| And it's like the perfect parallel, right? | |
| I mean, this was the art. | |
| It was the art of the comeback. | |
| No one would ever have thought a guy who was just charged with 91 felony convictions for doing nothing wrong, but because you had a system that was totally weaponized against you, could ultimately become president. | |
| And not only did he become president, won every swing state, right? | |
| He won the popular vote. | |
| Every state in the nation went to the right, meaning, you know, attacked to the right in terms of voting. | |
| We picked up places that we had never, I mean, we picked up 11 counties in California that had never been Republican before that went Republican. | |
| Miami-Dade, which hasn't been won in 37 years, we won by 11%. | |
| I mean, it wasn't like a baby victory. | |
| It was like the greatest, you know, I would use a different word, but because we're on TV, greatest butt kicking in the history of the world. | |
| And, you know, you want to talk about the art of the comeback. | |
| That was the true art of the comeback. | |
