Rachael Ray: And we are back! So great to have you guys! Big treat for you! Today we have a special guest, he’s someone we all know, he’s been on kind of a journey for the past year. Please welcome former president Donald Trump!

[applause]

Former president Donald J. Trump: It’s wonderful to be here, Rachael, with you and the wonderful people out there, wonderful ladies! Hello! I respect you!

Rachael Ray: So, Mr. President —

Former president Donald J. Trump: You know what, Rachael, call me “Don,” okay? The whole thing with the formality and, it’s just not who I am now. I’m just Don. Don from Queens who is here to show you and your wonderful audience of suburban females who, people are saying, did not vote for me, but you know what? I am here anyway! I want to show them how I make my famous Football Sunday Pie, and you can see here I have some ground beef already browning here in this thing on top of the thing here you have —

Rachael Ray: The stove. The pan on the stove.

Former president Donald J. Trump: Right, and now, ladies, just toss in some of that onion-dip mix, just a package or two, whatever you have — you really cannot screw this up, okay? Not like I did in the election! Can you believe that?

Rachael Ray: Mr. President, Don, I have to say that this really seems like a new you.

Former president Donald J. Trump: Rachael, this show is so wonderful and you really have a quality, and I just, you know, have had a moment to — whew! — kind of catch my breath and take stock and really think about the country, and it’s clear that for whatever reason, some fair and some not fair, let’s be honest, a lot of unfair things happened to me that were not nice, but you have to let it go, right?

[applause]

Rachael Ray: Some people are saying you’re going to run again. Is that true? Also, did you want to stir that?

Former president Donald J. Trump: I do want to stir that, thank you. So when it’s all brown and looks good now it’s time to get creative. Tomato sauce, pizza sauce, I put in some sour cream and some mild salsa — I don’t like the spicy kind — I mean, I like the spicy kind but it doesn’t like me back!

[applause]

Former president Donald J. Trump: And stir that together and then you pour on the pancake batter — doesn’t matter really what kind, I like Bisquick, you can make your own, whatever — and then it goes into a 400-degree thing with the thing on and it gets brown on the top and you know, Rachael, you ask if I’m running again and people keep asking me, Mr. Trump, they say, please run again, you have so much left to give, and I have to be honest, I’m thinking about, it’s something I’ve been thinking about very strongly.

Rachael Ray: When will you decide?

Former president Donald J. Trump: We’re considering it very strongly. Not sure, maybe two weeks. Two to 17 or 60 weeks, we’re determining that right now. But it’s also a time for me to spend time with my family, you know I have kids and grandkids and —

Rachael Ray: How many grandkids do you have?

Former president Donald J. Trump: It’s not about that. It’s not about how many or how much. That’s something I’ve really discovered, since the election and the lawsuits and the other matters.

Rachael Ray: The loans and the bankruptcy? Also, should we put that into the oven?

Former president Donald J. Trump: People say to me, they say, Mr. Trump we’ve never heard you be so humble, be so, you know, likeable for the moms out there, and I keep saying, this is the real me, away from the media, you know the media can be so negative, Rachael. You know that, with your weight problem.

Rachael Ray: Put it in for 45 minutes at 375.

Former president Donald J. Trump: And through the magic of television we already have one ready!

Rachael Ray: It looks great!

Former president Donald J. Trump: Let me get you some, I want to know what you think.

Rachael Ray: And so you will make this for, who, your family?

Former president Donald J. Trump: It’s fun for football games with your sons and their girlfriends and it can be kosher if your daughter is doing that whole thing, and you know, Rachael, it’s about family. It’s about what suburban moms are all about. What do you think?

Rachael Ray: Yummo!

Former president Donald J. Trump: “Yummo” is right.
