Chopper pressers are the best pressers. As President Trump departs the White House for a four state campaign push (three rallies today), our president stops to deliver remarks to the assembled press pool and take questions. [Video and Transcript Below]
.
[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. We’ll be making three big stops — three rally stops. I understand that they’ve been camped out for a couple of days already, and we have a lot of people — thousands and thousands.
I want to just tell you how happy everybody is, including me, with Justice Barrett. She is going to be a great justice for many, many years. And I’m very proud of the way she — she went through that process. That was an incredible process. It was a tough process, but she got through it very easily, and we’re very proud of the fact that she is now a justice of the Supreme Court.
Q Do you want to react to what President Obama said in his speech?
THE PRESIDENT: I only saw he was on Fox. And Fox puts him on all the time, and they put Sleepy Joe on all the time. And what they should do is they should show the picture of Sleepy Joe yesterday, when he rushed to Pennsylvania because he saw that I had 25,000 people at each event. When he rushed to Pennsylvania and he did a statement and he got lost in a fog, they should show that. Okay?
Or they should show the picture where he called me “George.” He thought I was George. I guess, he’s talking about George Bush. But he thought I was George, and they should show that.
No, Fox — Fox is very disappointing. That Fox puts on this — this would not have happened with Roger Ailes, I can tell you that.
Go ahead.
Q (Inaudible) are you willing to still talk about stimulus (inaudible)?
THE PRESIDENT: I’ll always talk about it because our people should get it.
Q After the election, though?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Our people should get it — the stimulus. But Nancy Pelosi is only interested in bailing out badly run, crime-ridden Democrat cities and states. That’s all she’s interested in. She’s not interested in helping the people.
We’ll — after the election, we’ll get the best stimulus package you’ve ever seen, because I think we’re going to take back the House because of her. I think you have a lot of congressmen and women — Republican — that are going to get elected. We’ll take back the House. We’ll hold the Senate. We’ll hold the White House.
If you look at the polls that came out today and yesterday — and I guess a lot had to do with the debate or a lot had to do with the rallies. I don’t know. But you take a look at the polls. Look at how we’re doing in Wisconsin. Look how we’re doing in Iowa. Look how we’re doing in Ohio. Look how we’re doing in Florida. Look how we’re doing everywhere, practically.
So I think we’re doing very well. We’re going to have an exciting night. It would be very, very proper and very nice if a winner were declared on November 3rd, instead of counting ballots for two weeks, which is totally inappropriate, and I don’t believe that that’s by our laws. I don’t believe that. So we’ll see what happens.
Q Mr. President, shouldn’t the voters judge you on COVID? And did you blow it?
THE PRESIDENT: Voters are judging me on a lot of things, and one of the things we’ve done a really good job on is COVID. We would have millions of people — millions, right now — we would have millions of people —
Q That’s if you did nothing.
THE PRESIDENT: — dead. Two million people. They were projecting 2.2 [million] if we didn’t do what we did. We did the ventilators and now we’re doing all of the equipment. But now we’re doing vaccines, we’re doing —
Q But isn’t that if you did nothing?
THE PRESIDENT: — therapeutics, and we’ve done a great job. And people are starting to see.
Now Biden had the swine flu. He did the worst job that anybody has ever seen. Had no idea what he was doing. And his Chief of Staff said he had no idea what he was doing.
I’ll see you in Michigan. We’re going to have some fun. Thank you.
President Trump will be one of the greatest American presidents, especially when considering he might lead us away from the cliff’s edge.
Love it when the Prez punks SLO joe…Biden, a corrupt fool
The ‘press’ are idiots … the alleged questions they ask are just regurgitated Democrat talking points, full of sound and fury, and void of real meaning.
I love how President Trump talks through the inane press. Their flawed premises are not worth an ounce of consideration.
I mean seriously, when you step back sometimes, it is just astonishing to listen how dense they are. I’m reminded of a Rowan Atkinson line. Either these people are severely brain damaged; or the new vacuum cleaners have arrived.
Yes he just ignores the asinine questions especially because they are based on lies (otherwise known as DemoCommunist narratives) and keeps on elaborating his points.
Masterful.
Press Lice Lose Again! We love PDJT!
I think in his second term he is going to go balls to the wall against all the corruption, and he is going to win, and in doing so, put the WORLD on notice that we don’t phvck around. God bless President Trump.
Media. Very close and no masks. I like the picture.
HOLD THE LINE Mr President. NO BAILOUTS for corrupt cities and states that will not comply with vote integrity and immigration laws.
I believe that is the line he is holding. The President wants to open up the entire country, not continue to pay workers to stay at home. With the current therapeutics available, these workers don’t need to hide from this Chinese plandemic anymore.
The President wants to fund a *targeted,* not an unlimited, stimulus package, to get select businesses back up and running and create more jobs. He does *not* wish to enable corrupt, shuttered demonrat cities overrun by rioters.
