even be more afraid? Here it goes. Twenty percent of all people — politicians, smart people, dumb people, educated people, uneducated people, people in all countries — about 20 percent can be convinced of anything. They can be convinced there's something in the room that isn't even there. They can be convinced that it's cold when it's hot. They can be convinced of anything by a trained hypnotist.…

So these are Trump's actual words as reported by CNN from I don't know what rally. Quote: "We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms." Now right away he already has me because never before has any president shown a genuine concern for your bathroom inconveniences. Now if you tell me that's not the best example of the common touch you've ever seen I will argue with you. Nobody has ever applied what we call the common touch better than you're going to hear right now. This is the common touch. You can't do this better, okay?
So other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on, and in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it and you don't get any water. The president said last December during a round table with business leaders. Oh so I was doing a round table then. The president went on, you turn on the faucet and you don't get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out, just dripping out, very quietly dripping out. The president continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once.
Now I stand corrected. He said this in the context of a round table, but he used his rally speech. He just did it at the round table because it was a... Now the fact that anybody could read this and think that he was serious when he says people are flushing their toilets 10 to 15 times. I mean I give up after six, I don't know about you. I've never flushed the toilet 10 to 15 times. And I figure if this is an average number and it's accurate there must be people flushing their toilet 25 times to make up for my low number.
But you have to love the way he makes this visual. So let me read it again but only listen to it for the extraordinary choice of visual persuasion. So first of all you can feel it. You can feel this because you can feel the water as he talks about it. You can feel it, you can see it. And those are two important things. All right so we have a situation where — talking about the sinks and showers — where you turn the faucet on. All right so you can already see in the movie you turn the faucet on. And in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water. And now you're seeing like this rush of water coming at you where the water rushes out to sea. Now I'm seeing the ocean. I've seen the ocean and I'm seeing this pipe with all the water that came from my house that I couldn't handle. I couldn't handle that kind of water. I'm not meant for t

hat kind of water. I can't handle that. But all this water is rushing through and it rushes out to the ocean, the sea. And then you turn the faucet on and you don't get any water. And now I'm seeing the faucet and there's like nothing coming out. I'm like great. And it's just dry or sand is coming out or something. And it's just dripping out, very quietly dripping out. It's not just dripping out,…
