trump-time-person-of-yearTrump is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. In the article, Trump talks about his position as president elect:

What amazes a lot of people is that I’m sitting in an apartment the likes of which nobody’s ever seen. And yet I represent the workers of the world. I’m representing them, and they love me and I love them. And here we sit, in very different circumstances.

He talks about seeing a news story on NBC about the Carrier plant featuring a union representative and a plant worker talking in a bar.

[The man looked at the camera and said] ‘We want you to do what you said you were going to do.’ I said, I never said they weren’t going to move, to myself…He energized me, that man. And I called up the head of United Technologies.

He also talks about young illegal immigrants:

We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud. They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.
