2020 ELECTION/CAMPAIGN FINANCE/DEBATES: “You’re the one that takes all the money from Wall Street. I don’t take it. You [Joe Biden] have raised a lot of money, tremendous amounts of money. And every time you raise money, deals are made. I could raise so much more money.

As president and as somebody that knows most of those people, I could call the heads of Wall Street, the heads of every company in America, I would blow away every record. But I don’t want to do that because it puts me in a bad position. And then you bring up Wall Street? You shouldn’t be bringing up Wall Street. Because you’re the one that takes the money from Wall Street, not me.

I could blow away your records like you wouldn’t believe. We don’t need money. We have plenty of money. In fact, we beat Hillary Clinton with a tiny fraction of the money that she was able to get. Don’t tell me about Wall Street.”
