All the Craziest Moments From Donald Trump's Impromptu Press Conference on the Kavanaugh Hearings
Today, President Trump gave an impromptu press conference regarding the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh in advance of the testimonies that Kavanaugh and his accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, will give in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow.
Here are the craziest moments from the full hour and 20 minutes Trump spoke. Spoiler alert: it's the whole damn thing, because it was absolutely nuts from start to finish.
TRUMP: Thank you very much, everybody. We’ve had a great three days at the United Nations in New York. And this is quite a gathering. Wow, that’s a lot of people, a lot of media. (LAUGHTER) We’ve - we’ve covered a great deal of territory. Just left, as you know, Prime Minister of Abe of Japan, we’re starting trade talks with Japan. They were not willing, for years, to talk trade. And now, they’re willing to talk trade. And I’m sure we’ll make a very good deal.
Just concluded, as you know, two days ago, signed a deal with South Korea, a trade deal, a tremendous deal with South Korea. It means a lot of business for our farmers. We’re opening up for farmers. We’re opening up for a lot of different groups.
We’re going to be able to sell much more than double the number of automobiles that we were allowed under a deal that was totally defective, that was there before. And so, we’re very happy with that. That deal has actually concluded.
We’re very well along the way with Mexico. The relationship is very good. And with Canada, we’ll see what happens. They’re charging us 300 percent tariffs on dairy products; we can’t have that. We can’t have that.
TRUMP: With China, as you know, we put out an announcement today. They would like to see me lose an election because they’ve never been challenged like this. But I want to open up China to our farmers, and to our industrialists, and our companies. And China is not open. But we’re open to them. They charge us 25, 35, 55 percent for things, and we charge them nothing, in terms of coming in to the country.
Cars, they’re at 25 percent, and we’re at 2 percent and 2.5 percent and don’t even collect it, but we collect it now. So we’re doing very well in our situation with China on trade. I have a great relationship with the president of China, President Xi
But it’s got to be a two-way street, and for 25 years, or longer, was not. And trillions and trillions of dollars was taken out of the United States for the benefit of China, and we just can’t have that. We have to make it fair. So we’re at $250 billion now, at 25 percent interest, and a lot of money is coming into our coffers.
And it’s had no impact on our - absolutely, by the way, no impact on our economy, which I said it wouldn’t. In fact, steel is like the hottest industry there is. If you look at what happened with steel, we’re charging a 25 percent tariff for the dumpers. They dump massive amounts of steel. They want to put the steel companies out of business, and after they’re out of business, they’re come in and charge five times more than you ever thought possible.
And we need steel, and we need aluminum. And those industries are doing well, but steel is incredible. U.S. steel is opening up a minimum of eight plants, Nucor is opening up plants, and these are big plants - $750 million and $1 billion plants, in some cases. So what’s happening with the steel industry is very exciting to me. It’s being rebuilt, over night.
If you look at the miners and coal, if you look at energy, LNG, Japan just gave us some numbers that are incredible. They’re doubling the amount that they are going to be buying for Japan. They’re taking the LNG and they’re doubling it up.
I said, “You have to do me a favor. We don’t want these big deficits. You’re going to have to buy more.” They’re buying massive amounts of equipment military equipment, and other countries are doing the same thing, because we have trade imbalances with almost everybody. It’s a rare exception that we don’t.
So we are doing great, as a country. Unfortunately, they just raised interest rates a little bit, because we are doing so well. I’m not happy about that, because I know it’s going to be a question. I am not happy about it. I’d rather pay down debt or do other things, create more jobs. So I’m worried about the fact that they seem to like raising interest rates. We can do other things with the money.
And - but they raised them, and they’re raising them because we’re doing so well, you know. We’re doing much better than I had projected, in terms of when I was campaigning. I said, “We were going to do this. And we’re doing much better than - than anybody ever thought possible.” And I will say, if others got in, it would’ve been just the opposite because they were going to put restrictions on, they were going to put regulations on. They were going to choke the economy, as it was already choking, but it would’ve been worse, and they were going to raise your taxes. That’s what they want to do now, if they ever got control, which I don’t think they’ll have control for a long time.
So with that being said, we’ll take some questions and - yes, please.
John, go ahead. We have plenty of time.
QUESTION: Mr. President, thank you very much. But of course, what you’re looking forward to tomorrow is the hearings with Judge Kavanaugh . . .
TRUMP: Yes.
QUESTION: . . . before the Judiciary Committee.
TRUMP: Yes.
QUESTION: In 1991, when Joe Biden passed along to the Bush 41 White House, the allegations that Anita Hill had raised against Clarence Thomas, the Bush White House asked the FBI to look into it, as part of Judge Thomas' background investigation, not a criminal investigation . . .
TRUMP: Right, right.
QUESTION: . . . but a background investigation. When these allegations were raised, why didn’t this White House do the same thing? And with all of the allegations that are coming out now about Judge Kavanaugh, was there an opportunity missed here to have investigators look in to this and get some sort of clarity one way or the other?
TRUMP: Well, the FBI told us they’ve investigated Judge Kavanaugh six times, five times - many times over the years. They know him very well. But here there was nothing to investigate from at least one standpoint - they didn’t know the location, they didn’t know the time, they didn’t know the year - they didn’t know anything. And it’s like, where do you go?
Also it’s not for the FBI, if you look at what Joe Biden said, he said, “They don’t do this,” and he said it very clearly. So I think when you really look at it all, it’s not going to change any of the Democrats' minds; their obstructionists. They’re actually con artists, because they know how quality this man is and they’ve destroyed a man’s reputation, and they want to destroy it even more.
And I think people are going to see that in the midterms. What they’ve done to this family, what they’ve done to these children - these beautiful children of his, and what they’ve done to his wife. And they know it’s a big, fat con job. And they go in to a room, and I guarantee you, they laugh like hell on what they pulled off on you and on the public, they laugh like hell.
So it wouldn’t have mattered if the FBI came back with the cleanest score, and you understand that very well, John. If they would have come back with a most perfect, we found everything and he’s perfectly innocent of everything, it wouldn’t have made a difference; you wouldn’t have gotten one vote.
Now, we will get votes from the democrats if we win. You’ll have three, four or five Democrats giving us votes, because they’re in states that I won by 30 and 40 points, and they’re going to give us votes. But other than that you probably won’t get any, John.
Yes, go ahead, please?
QUESTION: Mr. President, there are now three women accusing Judge Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. Are you saying that all three of those women are liars? Is there anything that could be said . . .
TRUMP: Yeah.
QUESTION: . . . tomorrow that could cause you to withdraw the nomination? Anything at all that . . .
TRUMP: I won’t get in to that game. I only tell you this - this is one of the highest quality people that I’ve ever met. And everybody that knows him says the same thing, and these are all false to me. These are false accusations in certain cases, and certain cases even the media agrees with that. I can only say that what they’ve done to this man is incredible.
You know, it’s very interesting I pick a lot of judges - I have a 145 judges I will be picking by the end of a fairly short period of time, because President Obama wasn’t big on picking judges. When I got there I said, how is this possible? I have 145, including Court of Appeals, judges. And they just didn’t do it, you know why? They got tired, they got complacent - something happened. I have 145 judges. Everybody wants to be a federal judge, not just a Supreme Court Judge. I’m talking about Court of Appeals. I’m talking about District Court. I don’t think they’re going to want to so much. I’ll be calling people, and we’ll have people calling people that do this
TRUMP: And people are going to be scared, because we could say it about you. Thirty-five years ago you - and you might not know what’s going on. What is going on? Why did they wait so long? Why did Senator Feinstein wait until the hearings were over, and make this case? Why didn’t she bring it right at the beginning?
When you ask about, as an example, the FBI - why didn’t they bring this right at the beginning during the hearing? You would have had all the time in the world for the FBI. It would have been fine. Now, the FBI as you know did investigate this time, as they have five or six other times, and they did a very thorough investigation. But this is a big con job.
And I would love to be in the room with the Democrats, close the door, you guys are all away, outside waiting and Schumer and his buddies are in there laughing. How they fooled you all. Let’s just stop them. A big, fat con.
Yes, go ahead.
QUESTION: But - but, Mr. President, if I could follow-up, you have daughters. Can you understand why a victim of sexual assault would not report it at the time? Don’t you understand?
TRUMP: By the way, I only say this, 36 years. No charge. No nothing. Everybody . . .
QUESTION: But - but that - that happens often. I mean . . .
TRUMP: . . . People are going to have to make a decision. Thirty-six years, there’s no charge. All of a sudden, the hearings are over and the rumors start coming out. And then you have this other con artist, Avenatti, another beauty today. I only say that you have to look at the facts.
The senators are very capable people. They’re very good people. I know many of them, they’re friends of mine. These are very talented, very good people and they’re going to vote. They’re going to have to believe what they believe.
I can - when I look at what's happened to the reputation of a great gentleman - a great intellect, a brilliant man, somebody that has a chance to be one of our great Supreme Court justices in history - intellectually, I think it's a shame.
Yes, please.
QUESTION: Yes, Mr. President. My name is Tomas Regalado (ph) from Radio and TV Marti.
TRUMP: okay.
QUESTION: Mr. President, yesterday at the speech at the U.N., you spoke about how Venezuela's problem was because of Cuba and the Castros, how they went in there and they brought socialism and communism to Venezuela, and now to Nicaragua as well. Mr. President, are you going to be more proactive now against Cuba as well? And . . .
TRUMP: I've been very proactive against Cuba. I don't like what's happening in Cuba. As you know, President Obama gave them a pass and I didn't like it, neither do Cuban people based in Miami, and based in our country that came from Cuba and suffered in Cuba.
I don’t like what he did I’ve ended much of it, most of it. I don’t like what’s happening in Cuba and I certainly don’t like what’s happening in Venezuela
QUESTION: Mr. President . . .
TRUMP: Yes, please. Go ahead.
QUESTION: . . . Mr. President, just to finish really fast, you said also that you had a call to action to ask the leaders around the world to also end socialism. Would you like to be recognized as a (inaudible) . . .
TRUMP: Well, I wouldn’t say that socialism has been working really well around the world, okay? You can take a look at Venezuela as your number one - your number one - I guess, the one that’s most obvious. But you take a look around the world; socialism is not exactly riding high.
Please . . .
QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President.
TRUMP: . . . Go ahead.
QUESTION: Thank you very much. If you don’t mind, after I’m finished, if Wegener (ph), or Halley (ph), or - or Vivian (ph) or one of our female colleagues could go after me, that would be great. Mr. President, just to follow-up on these allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.
TRUMP: What - what does he mean by that? Explain. What - what does - what does that mean?
QUESTION: I think it would be - I think it would be great if a - if a female reporter got . . .
TRUMP: What does it mean? No, what does it mean?
QUESTION: . . . I think it’d be great if a female reporter would ask you a question about the - this issue. So, if you don’t mind, I’d like to pass . . .
TRUMP: I wouldn’t mind that at all, no.
QUESTION: . . . All right.
TRUMP: Wouldn’t mind it at all.
QUESTION: All right, well, let me - if I could . . .
TRUMP: Wouldn’t make any difference to me.
QUESTION: . . . All right.
TRUMP: Go ahead.
QUESTION: If I could follow-up on John (ph) and John’s (ph) question, why is it, Mr. President, that you always seem to side with the accused and not the not the accuser? You have three women here who are all making allegations, who are all asking that their stories be heard.
QUESTION: And you know, if you look at the case of Roy Moore, if you look at the case of one of your staffers, you seem to, time and again, side with the accused and not the accuser. Is that because of the many allegations that you’ve had made against you over the years?
TRUMP: Well first of all, I wasn't happy with Roy Moore, let's get that straight. But Roy Moore was in a Republican candidate and I would've rather had a Republican candidate win. I was very happy with Luther Strange, who was a terrific man from Alabama, but Luther Strange had a lot of things going against him as far as women -- whether it's a man or a woman, these are, you know, it can happen the other way.
Allegations can go the other way also, you understand that. And whether it was a man or woman 30 years ago, 36 years ago, in fact I don’t even know how many years ago because nobody knows what the time is. That’s a long time and I could pick, as an example, hopefully I won’t have to do it as a replacement, because hopefully this is going to go very well on Thursday. It’s going to go very well on Monday or Saturday or Sunday or whenever they vote, but I could pick a woman and she could have charges made from many years ago also.
QUESTION: Because...
TRUMP: And I would look at the character -- no. What I have to do...
QUESTION: Or reluctant to come forward. You’ve raised doubts about these accusers. Many of them..
TRUMP: I don't think people are reluctant to come forward. They're going to have a chance to speak -- they have a major chance -- excuse me, excuse me. They have major chance to speak and it will be tomorrow, I assume. We've delayed this, meaning the Republican senators, not me, the Republican senators have delayed this for weeks now. They're giving the women a major chance to speak. Now it's possible I'll hear that and I'll say hey I'm changing my mind. That is possible. We want to give them a chance to speak and they're given...
QUESTION: Giving all three a chance? All three should have a chance.
TRUMP: Well, whoever is given a chance. We’ve delayed it a long time, but they’re going to have a big shot at speaking and making their case. And you know what? I can be persuaded also. OK? Yes, please. Please, go ahead. Go ahead. I’d like to go -- yes, go ahead, please.
QUESTION: Thank you Mr. President. And a couple of questions for you to follow up on some answers that I didn’t quite hear from you, if you would allow me a couple of questions. First of all, do you think these women, all three of them, are liars, yes or no?
TRUMP: Have they been what?
QUESTION: Are they liars?
TRUMP: I can’t tell you, I have to watch tomorrow, I have to read. I just heard about one a little while ago. I can tell you her lawyer is a low-life, OK. So I can’t tell you whether or not they’re liars until I hear them. I don’t know what happened today because I’ve been very busy with Japan, with South Korea, with China and about seven other countries, as you know, and I chaired the Security Council. So I don’t know about today’s person that came forward. I do know about the lawyer and -- and you don’t get much worse -- bad reputation, to take a look at his past.
So as far as the other women are concerned, I’m going to see what happens tomorrow. I’m going to be watching. You know, believe it or not I’m going to see what’s said. It’s possible that they will be convincing. Now with all of that being said, Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been for many years, one of the most respected people in Washington. He’s been on, I guess you’d call it the second highest court. And every single person knows him, a lot of people know him well and those people don’t believe what’s going on. I can always be convinced. I have to hear it.
QUESTION: It sounds like what you’re saying is there is a situation, there is a scenario under which you would withdraw Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination. Is that correct?
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: If I thought he was -- if I thought he was guilty of something like this, yes sure.
QUESTION: And you will wait until tomorrow to make up your mind?
TRUMP: I want to watch. I want to see. I hope I can watch. I’m meeting with a lot of countries tomorrow. But I will certain in some form be able to watch, and I’ll also rely on some very fair and talented Republican senators who -- look, if we brought George Washington here and we said, we have George Washington, the Democrats would vote against him. Just so you understand. And he may have had a bad past. Who knows, you know?
(LAUGHTER)
He may have had some, I think, acquisitions made. Didn't he have a couple things in his past? George Washington would be voted against 100 percent by Schumer and the con artists. I mean, 100 percent, 100 percent. So it really doesn't matter from their stand point.
That’s when John asked about the FBI, if the FBI did the most thorough investigation of the history of the FBI and they found him to be 100 percent perfect, he would lose every single vote.
Now, if the Republicans win tomorrow, I think you’re going to get some votes from the Democrats. You know why? Because we all know why. Because it’s called politics. Then you’ll probably get some votes.
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: OK. Let’s go. One more question. Yes. She stands up, I’d like to ask about three questions. It’s not really fair to everyone else. Should I let her ask another question?
QUESTION: To follow up on ...
TRUMP: Go ahead. See?
QUESTION: To follow up on a question that a colleague asked as well about the benefit of the doubt that you have given to people like Roy Moore, to Roger Ailes, to Bill O’Reilly, to Brett Kavanaugh. They’re all men. Why is that?
"To follow up on a question that a colleague asked as well about the benefit of the doubt that you have given to people like Roy Moore, to Roger Ailes, to Bill O’Reilly, to Brett Kavanaugh. They’re all men. Why is that?" one reported asked.
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: It’s not a benefit of the doubt. I ...
(CROSSTALK)
QUESTION: Has there ever been an instance when you’ve given the benefit of the doubt to a woman?
TRUMP: I’ve known them -- Hallie (ph), I’ve known them for a long time and a lot of these people. A lot of people. And some I’ve been disappointed with. I have been disappointed with some others like -- you know, there are charges that are pretty weak. But I’ve known people for a long time. I never saw them do anything wrong. I never saw them do anything wrong. And there’s some that probably I agree. I can tell you there’s some that I -- I’ve been watching for a long time. And in a couple of cases they weren’t Republicans, and a lot of cases they were not. They were exactly the opposite. But I’ve been watching them for a long time and I knew for a long time these were not good people, and they were never brought up.
OK. Yes ma’am, go ahead.
Thank you very much, by the way. Thank you.
QUESTION: Thank you very much ...
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: Thank you.
QUESTION: ... Mr. President.
When the allegations first surfaced, you initially said how important it was for Dr. Ford to testify and that you wanted to hear from her.
TRUMP: I do.
QUESTION: But ...
TRUMP: I wish it could have gone quicker.
QUESTION: Well, you also said that if what she said was bad as she claims, surely her or her parents would have reported it. And just today you said you ...
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: Well, there is a truth. I mean there is a chance that her parents could have reported 36 years ago.
QUESTION: So -- so my question is ...
TRUMP: It doesn't mean they had to report it, because in some instances people keep it quiet. It's a very tough situation for a woman, there's no question about it. And in some cases, they do report it.
Frankly, had they reported it, it would have been pretty amazing, wouldn’t it? But I guess they didn’t, and that’s OK. I’m not saying they had to report it because it’s a very personal thing; it’s a very big problem. There’s no question about it.
Go ahead.
QUESTION: Do you want to hear her story before ...
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: I’d like to hear her story, yes. Well, we’re giving her time.
(CROSSTALK)
QUESTION: ... have you already made up your mind.
TRUMP: They would have given her time last week. This is the United State Senate. This is the most important position that a president can give out, I think we can say, by far. I’ve actually heard it’s the most important decision a president can make. I disagree with that. War and peace. I always say, war and peace, and after that Supreme Court justice, right.
I look forward to hearing from her. We could have heard from her last week. We could have heard from her for a long time. It’ll be interesting to hear what she has to say. OK.
QUESTION: Let me follow up on Jim’s question. Mr. President, let me follow up on Jim’s question that I don’t think we got an answer to
TRUMP: Which one? Which question? Who?
QUESTION: How have your personal experiences being accused by more than --
TRUMP: I’ve been accused. I’ve been accused.
QUESTION: -- a dozen women of sexual --
TRUMP: False accusations.
QUESTION: -- misconduct. Right.
TRUMP: Excuse me.
QUESTION: How have those --
TRUMP: I’ve been accused. And I was accused by -- I believe it was four women. You can check with Sean Hannity, you can check with Fox because they covered it very strongly.
QUESTION: And how have --
TRUMP: Who got paid. Excuse me. Excuse me. I was accused by four or five women who got paid a lot of money to make up stories about me. We caught them and the mainstream media refused to put it on television. They refused to even write about it. There were four women, and maybe more. I think the number’s four or five. But one had her mortgage paid off her house, $52,000. Another one had other things happen. And the one that reported it I believe was offered $750,000 to say bad things about me.
And she's the one that reported it. This woman is incredible. She reported instead of taking the money. So I've had numerous accusations about me.
QUESTION: Right.
TRUMP: I mean, they made false statements about me knowing they were false. I never met them. I never met these people. And what did they do? What did they do? They took money in order to say bad things. I’ve had stories written in the New York Times, front page, about four women -- the whole top center front page of the New York Times. I think it was four big pictures. I said wow, that’s a big thing, what’s that.
These were women that were quoted saying bad things about me. Not the worst things about me, but bad things. And I said gee, that’s too bad. I knew them a long time ago. 15 years ago, 20 years ago. I said that’s too bad, I’m surprised at them. And then all of a sudden, I see them on television, nothing to do with me. The next day or day later, they were incensed. They said Donald Trump is a nice guy, we never said this. The New York Times did false reporting.
They’re fake news. And you know what? The New York Times would not report that their story was fake. These women said great things. Not only did they not say the bad stuff, they said great things about me. Front page. And those woman -- they’re incredible women. They went on television -- and they didn’t want to and I didn’t ask them -- and they said the New York Times made it up. They gave false quotes.
And they went on a lot of shows. They were really incensed and they couldn’t believe it. That’s why -- people know that a lot of the news is fake and a lot of the people sitting here are fake. But 20 percent of them are wonderful, OK?
QUESTION: If I could just actually ask --
TRUMP: Go ahead, please.
QUESTION: -- my question, Mr. Trump. You didn’t let me ask my question.
TRUMP: You’ve been asking a question for 10 minutes.
QUESTION: No, you interrupted my question.
TRUMP: Please sit down. Please.
QUESTION: I’m asking how did those impact your opinions on the allegations --
TRUMP: Well it does impact my opinion and --
QUESTION: -- against Judge Kavanaugh.
TRUMP: -- you know why? Because I’ve had a lot of false charges made against me. I’m a very famous person, unfortunately. I’ve been a famous person for a long time. But I’ve had a lot of false charges made against me, really false charges. I know friends that have had false charges. People want fame, they want money, they want whatever. So when I see it, I view it differently than somebody sitting home watching television where they say oh, Judge Kavanaugh this or that.
It's happened to me many times. I've had many false charges. I had a woman sitting in an airplane and I attacked her while people were coming onto the plane and I have a number one best seller out. I mean, it was a total phony story. There are many of them. So when you say does it effect me in terms of my thinking with respect to Judge Kavanaugh, absolutely, because I've had it many times.
TRUMP: And if the news would have reported these four people -- I couldn’t believe it. When I heard that they caught these four people, I said wow, that’s a big story. And it was, for Fox. OK.
QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President. Earlier today and just now, you made a significant allegation against the Chinese Government, you suggested that --
TRUMP: I did.
QUESTION: The Chinese had meddled in, or are meddling in --
TRUMP: That’s right, that’s what I hear.
QUESTION: The 2018 mid-term election --
TRUMP: That’s what I hear.
QUESTION: What evidence do you have of that, sir? Is there analysis, (inaudible) --
TRUMP: We have evidence, we have evidence -- it’ll come out. Yeah, I can’t tell you now, but it came -- it didn’t come out of nowhere, that I can tell you. Now they’ve actually admitted that they’re going after farmers, I mean, I think most of you can cover that. I like that you’re shaking your head yes, I’m going to ask you the next question because of that, OK? It’s probably going to be the killer of all questions.
But let me just explain, let me --
QUESTION: If you’re not going to come forward with the evidence, sir
TRUMP: China now, put on $250 billion, and they’re paying 25 percent on that. They’re paying billions and billions -- this has never happened to China, and I like China and I like President Xi a lot. I think he’s a friend of mine, he may not be a friend of mine anymore, but I think he probably respects -- from what I hear, if you look at Mr. Pillsbury, the leading authority on China.
He was on a good show, I won’t mention the name of the show, recently, and he was saying that China has total respect for Donald Trump and for Donald Trump’s very, very large brain. He said Donald Trump, they don’t know what to do -- never happened.
Well one thing they are trying to do is they’re trying to convince people to go against Donald Trump, because a normal, regular political person that has no concept of what the hell he’s doing -- would let China continue to take $500 billion a year out of our country and rebuild their country. I mean, they were building 29 massive bridges like the George Washington Bridge.
They’re building things that we don’t build anymore, but we’re starting to build them again. And our economy now is hotter than it’s ever been. I don’t know if you saw the confidence levels this morning that just came in, fantastic. And in all fairness to the FED raising rates, they’re raising rates because we’ve never done like we’re doing now.
And one of the things that is nice about their rates, the people that were hurt the worst by these zero interest rates and -- when President Obama had an economy that was -- it was the worst comeback since the Great Depression and all that, you’ve all heard that. But remember, he was playing with zero interest money. He was playing with funny money, that’s easy.
I’m playing with fairly expensive money -- so when he does that the people that benefit are people that actually, in their whole life they would save 10, 15, 20 percent of their salary -- those people got killed. Because they put their money in the bank they’re going to live off the interest and there was no interest.
Now, those people are starting to get interest and those are the people, frankly, that deserve -- you know, they did a great job. The people that did it right, the people that did the best job got hurt the most. So in one sense I like it, but basically I’m low interest rate person, I hate to tell you.
Yes ma’am? Yes, go ahead.
QUESTION: Mr. President --
TRUMP: Yes?
QUESTION: You have another meeting tomorrow with Rod Rosenstein --
TRUMP: Yes.
QUESTION: Are you planning to fire Rod Rosenstein?
