TRUMP: I’m the only one who’s honest about this thing. I watched Romney, and I watched — “Oh, oh. I pay so much. I pay so much tax” — I watch all politicians … I fight like hell to pay as little as possible. Can I say that? I’m not a politician. I fight like hell, always, because it’s an expense … I fight. I have the best lawyers and the best accountants, and I fight … It’s an expense, and frankly I would feel differently if this country was spending the money wisely instead of throwing it down the drain … All you have to do is look at a list of the things that our government is spending money on right now, and you don’t feel so good about our country.
