00:00Today is a historic day.
00:03I have tremendous news.
00:06Today, we eradicated AIDS.
00:10Thank God.
00:11Thank you, Donald Trump.
00:30AIDS has already killed 35 million people around the world.
00:37It's huge.
00:39Today, there are 700,000 to 800,000 people who die every year
00:43due to a lack of access to medication.
00:44AIDS has already killed 35 million people around the world.
00:48It took 30 years to eradicate this horrible disease
00:52which killed so many people.
00:54So many.
00:55So sad.
00:56Unfortunately, we have to go through this today
01:00to raise the interest of the media and the general public.
01:03It's sad, but the fight against AIDS is not enough.
01:06We have to show our commitment and the reality of the cause
01:09to try to be a little more effective.
01:10Now, I have the feeling that the game was worth playing.
01:15The risk was worth taking.
01:16I have the feeling that we managed it with enough caution
01:21so that we did not play on the credibility or naivety of the public
01:28who were able to discover it.
01:29Now, what is clear is that the United States
01:31has been a very committed country in the fight against AIDS for a very long time.
01:34It is also the first contributor to the World AIDS Fund.
01:51But today, it's finished.
01:53All over.
01:55AIDS is finished.
01:58I made not just America great again,
02:00but the world, folks.
02:02Donald Trump did it.
02:04It's not the United States that we put on stage in this video.
02:08It's Donald Trump and the character.
02:10And we thought it was funny to take advantage of his personality,
02:14whether it is described or not,
02:16to put on stage, to give a little perspective to our fight.
