"And I - you know, I think I - you know, look, just don't quote me on this unless it happens."

Full transcript: Trump’s Wall Street Journal interview




BAKER: I mean, what do you think the crucial conversations have been?

TRUMP: Many conversations. I just had one with a certain senator that was very convincing to that senator. So I’ve done a lot. I mean, last night — last night it was amazing. I was at the — you know, I was in West Virginia doing certain things and making a speech to the Boy Scouts, and that was some crowd. That was an incredible crowd.

But I’ve been working hard, trying to get the senators to go along with it. And I — you know, I think I — you know, look, just don’t quote me on this unless it happens, but I think we have a pretty good shot. And that vote’s taking place at about 2:00 today, right? 2:00?

WSJ: A little bit later, yeah, exactly.

TRUMP: A little bit later?

WSJ: All depending on McCain’s plane landing.

WSJ: If you get the vote — if you get the vote today to go ahead, what will be the next hurdle that you —

TRUMP: Well, then you have to go and decide on what plan you want, which way you’re going to go. You want to decide on is it repeal or repeal and replace. If it’s repeal and replace, which one do you want to go? Which form of existing conditions? I mean, there’s many things. But once you’re in there, then you can really negotiate. This is actually the heart, though. Once you’re there, you can, you know, Gerard — oh, say hello.

IVANKA TRUMP: Hi, Gerard. How are you?
