Sharyl: On Full Measure, we reported this season on controversy with the Tennessee Valley Authority.

President Trump: Yeah.

Sharyl: Which John Rich got involved in

President Trump: Right.

Sharyl: Advocating, for landowners whose land risks being taken away for a giant power plant.

President Trump: I saw it, actually.

Sharyl: Are you creating a position for John Rich to advocate more widely on that front?

President Trump: Well, I would. I like him. You know, he was on The Apprentice and he won. He’s a good guy.

Sharyl: Is that a big issue with government taking land?

President Trump: It’s, yeah, a lot of people don’t like that, you know? It’s not the greatest thing. But Tennessee Valley bothered me for another reason. And I have to look, but the person running it always, you know, for years would, got inordinate salaries. Did you know that?

Sharyl: Yeah, I did. We were reported on too.

President Trump: Numbers that are crazy like.

Sharyl: I think 26 times the salary of the President of the United States.

President Trump: Yeah. Like, they get 10 million dollars, 12 million dollars, and I said, “it’s gonna stop.”

Sharyl: And you’re trying to cap that to $500,000?

President Trump: Yeah, I wanna, I wanna have it capped, yeah. So I’d put John there if he could do that. It’s a, look, I inherited all this stuff. It was so stupid, so crazy. Can you imagine? They take people that are making $200,000 and they give them $10 million a year. Like, he would’ve taken it for slightly less. It’s crazy. So we, we try and stop things like that.

Sharyl: Couple of quick hits viewer questions. What happened to the audit of Fort Knox?

President Trump: Which one are you talking about?

Sharyl: There was, I think when you first got into office, you and Elon Musk talked about auditing the gold to make sure it’s there.

President Trump: Yeah, well, we wanted to go knock on the door, Fort Knox, very thick door. And to see whether or not we have any gold in there, you know, because, we take a look at it. It’s a very interesting question, yeah. We played with that, I wonder if they left the gold in Fort Knox because they steal a lot.

Sharyl: No need to really do that though?

President Trump: Well, I, I don’t know. I think we, it’s, I do wanna go to Fort Knox sometime. I wanna see if the gold is there which I’m sure it will be.

Sharyl: What would you be doing today, do you think, if you hadn’t run for president?

President Trump: Well, I was really good at building buildings, and I guess I’d be just riding out my life, building buildings had I not run. But now that I have become president, and for, I guess you could say for nine years, you know, I’ve been, if you look at it, I had the four years, then we had the rigged election, but during that rigged election, we were fighting with these people, like, more than if I were president, and then we had a great first year as president. I think we had a great first year. I think it’s one of the best. I ended, think of it, I ended eight wars, and to a point where the woman, a very good woman too, Maria, she received the Nobel Peace Prize and she said, “I received it. The only one that should get it is Donald Trump.” I didn’t know her. And it was very nice, very gracious actually. But I ended, think of it, I ended eight wars, and we have the greatest economy we’ve ever had. Just as I’m walking into the room, I see the S&P hit a brand new high during a so- called war, I call it a military conflict, because it was, it was pretty easy. We have the greatest military in the world. You look at Venezuela, you look at Iran, look at, look at what we, we wiped out their Navy in one week, 159 ships at the bottom of the sea. We wiped out their Air Force, we wiped out their everything. We wiped out their leaders, I guess, maybe most importantly, but, we have the greatest military anywhere in the world, and I think you see that.

Sharyl: Do you see your son Barron going into politics someday?

President Trump: Well maybe he’s certainly a popular guy, but, I have a lot of members of my family that are very popular, you know, they, I have good kids, they’re very good kids.

Sharyl: Back with a final word in a moment.
