President Donald Trump answers questions from the media pool as he travels back to Washington DC aboard Air Force One.
President Trump discusses the current status of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the continued interception of narcotrafficking boats from Venezuela, the recent call with Nicholas Maduro, the pause on all immigration and the intent to exfiltrate migrants who do not support our nation. Additionally, the issues of non-cohesive Somalia and Afghanistan immigrants (denaturalization) and a strong defense of War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
A very powerful impromptu press conference. WATCH:
.

Uh-Oh. Did you see the tie SD? LOL
What about it?
some people are hung up on the color purple since it was the go-to color for the left-wing politicians that got noticed by a bunch of people in 2016 and decided the color was some secret code for something or other.
Yesterday was the first day of Advent, liturgical color purple.
Before the rainbow flag for the lgbtq+ crowd, purple was the color code for gays. At least it was for lesbians in New England back in the 80’s.
Purple was the color of royalty. 🙂
Couldn’t hear him above the noise.
Rough air, bumpy flight, I had a tough time, too; wanted to hear the exchange between him and the reporterette on the right, up front that he concluded with “bye everybody, you too.”
Watch it on a tv on YouTube and turn on the captions.
Thanks for the tip! Big help!
Heard him OK; the questions were sometimes inaudible, but who cares?
I like it a lot when he gets pissed and tells the truth point blank. Like when he talked about the shooting of the National Guard troops in DC and that wackjob governor of Minnesota
Right at the end of the interview…”Can you tell us what part of the body the MRI was looking at?”
“It wasn’t my brain. I took a cognative test and aced it, which you couldn’t do…”
POTUS spreading the love to those imbeciles…all the love that they deserve. Haha. He cracks me up.
Thank you @yadent. I finally had a good today. OMG.
For those unfamiliar- the movie trailer:
Every time! I’m still chuckling from when he asked the reporter “Are you stupid?”
I think Air Force I interviews may be my favorites.
It’s like reading an episode of Mad Magazine’s, Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions.
I could be a reporter. Just put a worm on a hook and jangle it in front of the person your interviewing. You don’t want to catch them just annoy them.
all the “JOURNALISTS” are liberal white women. THE GREATEST THREAT FACING OUR COUNTRY. BIGGER THAN HEART DISEASE AND CANCER COMBINED. LIBERAL WHITE WOMEN.
It matters not the colors of the snake. It’s liberal women of all stripes.
I would agree with your statement about liberal white women but I would add: ” & ANGRY BLACK WOMEN,”
MRI? Did I miss something? He looks tired and he looks angry, IMHO…understandably frustrated with the do nothing Uniparty that refuses to support him?
It would tiring.
President Trump has to talk through a huge range of people everyday. He talks to leaders of the World, both political and corporate one moment and then nit-wits of the media the next moment. I can’t see where it wouldn’t be tiring.
Rubio also looks pale and exhausted.
Thought during this briefing that I sure hope I am NOT paying for these “reporters” to be traveling on AF1. After so much SECRECY through the DEM years, such as WTF are they doing and what are they up to, unless they were under questioning during Congressional hearings ?
It it is really an amazing gift to have a President who actually talks to the press, let alone on AF1. It is not in President Trump’s nature to HIDE what humans need to know about the concerns he has about America and abroad. He is willing and able to be AN OPEN BOOK. I pray for his safety and that his courage never fail every day. I can a bet a lot more than me do as well.
Instead of resting on long flights, he gets up and does brutal interviews with the press. Talk about extending your reach…I would be so tired they would have to carry me off the plane. People are expecting too much from the MAN and yet, he delivers. Imagine Obama and Biden if they were still in charge of the Presidency of this nation. God, our supreme leader, please give Donald J Trump strength and wisdom to lead this nation and helps your homefront in Israel.
Fighting Mad does not equal Tired.
Two reasons contributing Trump not looking like his usual self: His hair was not fresh and fluffy as per normal – and has lost some since first term. Plus he did not appear to have his normal bronzer on his face, making him look paler than we are used to.
Best part: PDJT calls out omar! The MN rep elected by fraud.
Get her out and back to somaila-hire the pirates to pick her up; lots of pirates in somalia…
Despicable woman. A pest to the state of MN. Along with parasite walz.
What is happening the real truth is starting to hit home with all these lying Libtards. They are so used to lying, getting by with it and when they get hit with the truth they can’t handle it.
She will be a big part of the reason to begin terminating Democrat seats, and eventually the party. If Bondi and Kash do their job the evidence of Democrat sponsored terrorism will get many of them jailed. The money flow will dry up and the cartels will be outed as the D lifeline.
Gosh, hope you’re right about that!
Indeed, as Trump says, the Ukraine War would have never occurred had he been president. That’s because he would have listened to both sides. Instead, the Biden administration insisted that Ukraine be allowed to enter NATO, even though that was against one of Putin’s bottom lines. If Trump’s current negotiations succeed, it will be due to his ability to listen, as I wrote in my commentary that was just published:
“If Trump is able to succeed in these negotiations, it is because he is able to listen to both sides. Ukraine wants to live a future life that is free of Russian domination so Trump’s plan provides a U.S. guarantee of its future security and helps it to enter the EU.
“Russia doesn’t want foreign military presence on its doorstep and wants to protect the discriminated-against Russian-speaking minority of eastern Ukraine, which Zelenskyy recently stripped of its religious rights, so Trump’s initial framework would prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and would protect linguistic minorities. “
Why would Trump need anyone to join the EU, esp after the struggles to free the UK from it? They are the worst.
Who is the reporter in the front asking all the questions?
I don’t know either. She said “I’m from Nation News” and had so much eye makeup on it was scary. Quite a monopolizer. I guess she get her 15 minutes of fame.
Nation News is a Barbados online news site.
She said “News Nation” …
A search for News Nation. It’s American.

I wish I could read lips.
Our President is great! Blessings to this man!
👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Watch the presstitute’s expression at the very end 🤣
“This could be the cold open for the next SNL”

God bless this President. He is America’s and the world’s Hail Mary.
It is hard to hear. He goes after New Nation at 11:57. Here is an attempt at a transcript.:
Transcript
00:00
President: Not bad. We’re in a very nice airplane, but it’s rocky. Uh, any questions? We had some great economic numbers come out. As you know, we’re doing very well economically. A lot of factories are being built all over the country and all of that, but very strong numbers came out. Go ahead.
Reporter: Can you give us an update on these talks between the U.S. and Ukraine?
President: Well, they’re going along. They’re going along well. They want to stop people from being killed. Doesn’t have much to do with us and I’d like to see if we can save a lot of souls. A lot of people are being killed. Last month we had 27,000 people killed in that ridiculous war that should have never happened. It would have never happened.
Reporter: Have you spoken with them?
President: I have. Yeah, I’ve spoken to them and they’re doing well. Ukraine’s got some difficult little problems. Some difficult problems, but I think Russia would like to see it end. And I think Ukraine—I know Ukraine—would like to see that.
Reporter: You just said Ukraine has a little bit of a problem.
President: We have a corruption situation going on which is not helpful.
Reporter: And is that impeding the peace talks?
President: I said it was going on for 3 years, right? Did I say 3 years? I said that was way ahead of schedule. But I think that there’s a good chance we can make a deal.
Reporter: Mr. President, on Venezuela, can you tell us more about why the airspace above Venezuela should be considered—
President: Because we consider Venezuela to be not a very friendly country. They sent millions of people really and probably a number in excess of that. And a lot of those people shouldn’t be in our country—from jails, from gangs, drug dealers—people that came into our country shouldn’t have been in our country, causing a lot of problems and drugs.
Reporter: Does your warning mean that an airstrike is—should we read it that way?
President: We don’t read anything into it.
Reporter: The New York Times reported that you had a phone call with Maduro. Did you?
President: I don’t want to comment on it. The answer is yes.
Reporter: And can you tell us a little bit—
President: No, I can’t do that.
Reporter: Would you say it went well?
President: I would say it went well.
02:10
Reporter: I hope you can talk a little bit about the strikes and the controversy around the Secretary of Defense. Keeping said—
President: I don’t know anything about it. He said he did not say that and I believe it.
Reporter: So you don’t know if there was a second strike to kill the two men?
President: He said he didn’t do it. He said he didn’t.
Reporter: Would you be okay with that if he did?
President: He said he didn’t do it. So I don’t have to make that decision.
Reporter: You’re clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S. Can you explain more about why you should pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
President: Well, I don’t know who you’re talking about.
Reporter: Ruo guy.
President: Well, I was told—I was asked by Honduras, many of the people in Honduras. They said it was a Biden setup. How do we invite the Biden—until he was alive—but it was the people that surround the Resolute Desk, surround Biden when he was there, which was about very little time. And the people of Honduras really thought he was set up and it was a terrible thing. He was the president of the country and they basically said he was a drug dealer because he was the president of the country. And they said I’m going to say my administration set up. And I looked at the facts and I agreed with them.
Reporter: What evidence does you share that he was set up and that he wasn’t?
President: Well, you take a look. I mean they can say that you take any country you want. If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president—who would have been jailed in the rest of this country. That includes this country, okay? To be honest. I mean, if somebody does something wrong, you put the president of the country in jail? They said it was a Biden setup. It was a Biden administration setup. And you have a big race going on this week, next week. I think it’s going to be a very important race. It’ll be interesting to see. Honduras you’re talking about, right?
Reporter: Correct. Yes. Accept.
President: Well, what is the second part of your question?
Reporter: And would you give me a deadline?
President: No, I don’t have a deadline. I have a deadline when the war is over, and hopefully the war is going to be over. Twenty-seven thousand people killed last week. Twenty-seven thousand. Over the last three or four weeks. Twenty-seven thousand people. That war should end.
Reporter: Mr. President, if there were a second Venezuela boat strike that killed people—even if the first strike killed—would you think that would be legal?
President: I don’t know that that happened. And Pete said he did not want them—he didn’t even know what people were talking about. So we’ll look into it. But no, I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal on his mind, and if there were two people around. But Pete said that didn’t happen.
Reporter: Does that make you—
President: I have great confidence.
Reporter: So you’re saying there’s no second strike?
President: I don’t know. I’m going to find out about it. But Pete said he did not order the death of those two men.
Reporter: Do you have any concerns about how those boat strikes have been carried out at all?
President: Very little. Because you can see the boats. You can see the drugs in the boats. And each boat is responsible for killing 25,000 Americans. And they’re doing an amazing job. You just look at the numbers: the amount of drugs coming into our country by sea is infinitesimal compared to what it was just a few months ago. And each—think of this—each boat on average is responsible for the death of 25,000 Americans.
Reporter: On immigration. Your administration made a lot of moves throughout the last few days after we know the Afghan national is the suspected shooter of these National Guards—
President: Yeah. People that shouldn’t be in our country.
Reporter: So you announced that asylum—
President: And that includes Somalians and it includes plenty of others.
Reporter: How long does your administration plan pause asylum into the U.S.?
President: I think a long time.
Reporter: Can you give any kind of—
President: We don’t want those people. We have enough problems. We don’t want those people.
Reporter: Is that a year? Two years?
President: No time limit. But it could be a long time. We don’t want those people. Do you understand that?
Reporter: I understand.
President: You understand that?
06:26
President: Who are you with?
Reporter: I’m with NewsNation.
President: NewsNation. Great. Let me just say something. We don’t want those people. Does that make sense? You know why we don’t want them? Because many of them no good and they shouldn’t be in our country.
Reporter: What do you mean by “those people”?
President: The people from different countries that are not friendly to us and countries that are out of control themselves. Countries like Somalia that have virtually no government, no military, no police. All they do is go around killing each other. Then they come into our country and tell us how to run our country. We don’t want them.
Reporter: She said “How many choices?” Is there a list?
President: Well, I guess we gave you 19, right? It’s probably more than that.
Reporter: Is that what you mean by third-world countries in those 19?
President: No. And I don’t think they’re all third-world. But in many cases they are third-world. They are not good countries. They’re very high-crime countries. They’re countries that don’t do a good job. They’re countries that don’t register from a standpoint of success. And we frankly don’t need their people coming into our country telling us what to do.
President: And you’re talking about data? Talking about like Somalia where you have a congressman goes around telling everybody about our Constitution and yet she supposedly came into our country by marrying her brother. Well, if that’s true, she shouldn’t be a congressman and we should throw the hell out of our country.
Reporter: On top of that—in that same post you mentioned Tim Walz and you call him what many Americans find—
07:56
Reporter: Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim—
President: Yeah, I think there’s something wrong with him. Absolutely. Sure. Did you have a problem?
Reporter: Uh, you know what—
President: I think there’s something wrong with him. Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia. We give billions of dollars to Somalia. It’s not even a country because it doesn’t function like a country. It’s got a name, but it doesn’t function like a country. There’s something wrong with Walz.
Reporter: Mr. President, you said you might denaturalize some American citizens. Can you talk about that?
President: You mean people that are in here that shouldn’t be here?
Reporter: Well, they became Americans—
President: And we’ll see. I mean, yeah, we have criminals that came into our country and they were naturalized maybe through a Biden with somebody that didn’t know what they were doing. If I have the power to do it—I’m not sure I do—but if I do, I would denaturalize. Absolutely.
Reporter: What do you mean by—
President: Do you have a question?
Reporter: What do you mean by “reverse migration”?
President: It means get people out that are in our country. Get them out of here.
09:01
President: I want to get them out. We’ve got a lot of people in our country that shouldn’t be here and they came in through Biden. And he was the worst president in the history of our country. But the single biggest thing he did was allow millions of people into our country that shouldn’t be here. Drug dealers, prisons were opened up and allowed to come into our country. You take a look at the people that were allowed to come into our country. We’re paying a big price for it and we will for years to come, including the recent killer of two wonderful National Guard people. And I’ll tell you what—that animal should not have been allowed to come into our country.
Reporter: Have you spoken to the families?
President: I have spoken to both families. I can give you an update. They’re devastated. Does that make sense to you? They’re devastated.
Reporter: Can you provide any update on their losses?
President: Well, as you know, the one is no longer with us. And Andrew is fighting for his life, and his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people, and they’re praying, and they want everybody to pray for Andrew, and he has a chance to make it. But he is—his mother and father—they were so unbelievable. They were so positive. From West Virginia, great state. I spoke with Sarah’s parents too and the only thing I can say—they were devastated. They can’t even believe it. It’s absolutely devastating when you lose your children.
10:36
Reporter: Do you plan to invite them to the White House?
President: Yeah, I do. I do. I’ve already suggested it. I said when you’re ready—it’s a tough thing—come to the White House. We’re going to honor Sarah. And likewise with Andrew—recover or not—we’re going to honor him.
Reporter: I do have one more question about Woff because you mentioned—and this was asked previously—can you tell us what day Woff is going to meet with—
President: Sometime next week.
Reporter: Early next week? Late next week?
President: Sometime next week.
Reporter: On healthcare—
President: You know, one of the reasons that healthcare can work is because of what I just did with the relations. You’re going to have drug prices coming down 500, 600, 700 percent. Because of me. We’re going to have the lowest drug prices—tied for the lowest drug prices—anywhere in the world. It’s called favored nations. And you don’t talk about it. It’s probably the biggest thing to happen in medicine in the last 100 years. And it can have a huge impact—positive impact—on pricing for healthcare.
Reporter: What about picking a new VA Secretary? Are you any closer on that?
President: I know who I’m going to pick.
Reporter: Tell me.
President: I’ll tell you—we’ll be announcing it. Thank you very much, everybody.
11:57
President: This is a Iraqi flat—I’m getting—we’re going to get out of here before something happens. But they asked about my MRI. MRI is a very—
Reporter: Governor Walz asked you to release the MRI records.
President: Will you tell us what it was?
President: Governor Walz—you mean the incompetent governor? So if they want to release it, it’s okay for me to release it. It’s perfect.
Reporter: What was the record?
President: It’s like my phone call where I got impeached. It’s absolutely perfect. So if you want to hear about it or if you want to release it—do you want to have it released, NewsNation? Failing, failing NewsNation.
President: NewsNation is doing lousy, by the way. But if you want to have it released, I’ll release it.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
President: For what—releasing?
Reporter: No, no—what part of your body was the MRI looking at?
President: I have no idea. Yeah, it was just an MRI. What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. And I got a perfect mark—which you would be incapable of doing. Goodbye everybody. You too. Thank you.
Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, sir.
I don’t see any problems. This is the stuff all reporters should be doing – hanging on to every spoken word and asking follow-up questions.
These two women are insufferable. Get em out!
President Trump…..love listening to him, and catching all the little cracks that he sends out while speaking. Like with News Nation…answering their question…at the same time making sure everybody knows they are doing terrible!(
