I laughed aloud twice at our Stable Genius and was impressed re Saudia Arabia. President Trump said that Saudi Arabia is paying the expense of having US troops!
President Trump's trolling of the press seemed like a presidential version of Detective Columbo - outwitting the press with ease while gently asking them questions and reflecting softly on their comments!
President Trump relayed good news re China, Saudia Arabia etc. while the press were completely unprofessional and hectoring. Excellent side by side comparison for the public to see! Love these Whitehouse.gov press releases because the MSM can't hide them, or their buffoonish behavior.
Here's an example of the ridiculous "contribution" of the press:
Q Do you want to fire the whistleblower?
THE PRESIDENT: Who?
Q Do you want to fire the whistleblower?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, the whistleblower has been very inaccurate. The whistleblower — I don’t know what kind of a whistleblower —
Q Then why don’t you fire the whistleblower?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's one of the two that made me laugh aloud:
Q Mr. President, did you or your administration pressure Fox News to get rid of Shepard Smith?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I don’t know. Is he leaving?
Q He’s leaving.
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, that’s a shame.
Q Then why did Bill Barr meet with Rupert Murdock the other night?
THE PRESIDENT: That I don’t know. Wait — did I hear Shepard Smith is leaving?
Q Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Is he leaving because of bad ratings?
Q You’d have to ask him.
THE PRESIDENT: Tell me. I don’t know. He has terrible ratings. Is he leaving because of his ratings?
Q You have to ask him.
THE PRESIDENT: I mean, if he’s leaving, I assume he is leaving because he had bad ratings.
Q But you didn’t put any pressure on anybody?
THE PRESIDENT: He had the worst ratings on Fox, so there’s a reason — why is Shepard Smith leaving?
Q You’d have to ask him, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I wish him well.
Q The Attornery General — the Attorney General meeting with Rupert —
THE PRESIDENT: I wish — I wish Shepard Smith well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's my other LOL.
Q Three court losses today. Any reaction to that?
THE PRESIDENT: What?
Q On immigration and taxes, turning over your taxes to —
THE PRESIDENT: We lost immigration? I haven’t heard that. We’ll win. We’ll turn — we’ll — you know how many cases I’ve lost and then we win?
Okay, remember they said I lost ban — the travel ban? And then they said I lost it again, and then I ended up winning it. So, I’ve — I’ve had a great — I’ve had a great track record. And right now, within a couple of weeks, we will have 160 judges. And within a couple of months, we’ll have 182 federal judges. And we are breaking records like nobody has ever seen in that regard, as you know.
Q Do you support administration officials —
THE PRESIDENT: Do you agree? Do you agree? A hundred and eighty-two. Do you agree?
Q Do you support administration officials —
THE PRESIDENT: You got to say yes.
Q — testifying under subpoena?
THE PRESIDENT: Your father would say yes.

I hope you read the whole thing and that you enjoy it as much as I did! GO PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!!

Enjoy these departure remarks at the above White House link.
Awesome stuff! I wish he would have added that not single one of his children received a lucrative job as part of the China agreement and not a single penny went to his charitable foundations.
Q President Trump, is Rudy Giuliani still your personal attorney? Is Rudy Giuliani still your personal attorney?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I don’t know. I haven’t spoken to Rudy. I spoke to him yesterday, briefly. He’s a very good attorney, and he has been my attorney. Yeah, sure.
><><
That sounds like he’s going to let Rudy decide if he wants to stay on.
LOL YES! I wish he would have said that!!!
THE PRESIDENT: I haven’t asked that, no. But a lot of people should be asking, perhaps. I have not asked it. Hunter Biden walked away with a billion and a half dollars from China, $168,000 a month from Ukraine — supposedly a $3 million payment from Ukraine. Have I asked? No. But I can’t imagine that somebody isn’t asking.
Ha haaaaa! THAT'S gonna leave a stain
The deal is only for $16 Billion going to possibly $50 Billion?
That is a small fraction of the $450 Billion annual trade deficit, even at the optimistic $50 Billion number.
Don’t forget to watch PDJT speak to Ralph Reed’s Values Voter Summit @ 6:15 tonight on CSPAN.
POTUS will also be interviewed (by phone, I expect) on Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro @ 9 PM ET tonight on FNC.
Repeat for the next 400 days. Over and over...
“Hunter Biden walked away with a billion and a half dollars from China, $168,000 a month from Ukraine — supposedly a $3 million payment from Ukraine. Have I asked? No. But I can’t imagine that somebody isn’t asking.”
Great Q & A. I really like the tactic of having Marine One idling in the background to drown out the chatter from the press.
It serves a triple purpose by:
1) Eliminating face/sound time from presstitutes.
2) Denying them their little room in the White House.
3) Wasting enourmous amounts of fuel while emitting enough exhaust to trigger Lefties from coast to coast. (Well, maybe not the California part of the Left Coast that still doesn’t have power....)
Best President ever!
Thanks for the heads up.
It’s like a laser pointer and cats. They are running around all over the place.
They keep trying to set him up, and when that doesn’t work, they just make it up and act as if it is legitimate.
It’s obvious “they” have been doing this crap for a very, very long time, have it down to a finely honed science, and past Republicans had absolutely no idea how to handle it or respond.
DJT has them on the Defensive. That’s a good thing.
Nobody talks too much about balance of trade issue any more. Not since the 1970s, when it went negative for the first time. If it is discussed it’s only in the context of big ticket items like commercial aircraft, or agriculture, two bright spots in an overall disaster.
Borrowing money from China at interest, to buy Chinese manufactured products. What could go wrong? All the “expert” economists seem to think this is OK, don’t they? Ever notice “sustainability” is often used when talking about growing things? They never question whether deficit spending is “sustainable”.
A lot of leftists, who at least are honest enough to admit this can’t go on, like to quote Dick Cheney - “Deficits don’t matter”;
Except, that isn’t what he said. He was talking about political campaigns, in the context of presidential elections. And on that, he is probably correct. But to suggest he was saying that the national government being in the hole for 21 Trillion $$ “doesn’t matter”. Yeah, no, that ain’t what he said.
No. 16 Billion was the previous record agri buy by the Chinese. The deal just made is for 40 Billion guaranteed with proviso’s for an additional 10 Billion.
Promises Made. Promises Kept.
The Wall. The Economy. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Manufacturing. Exports. Tariffs to recoup the BILLIONS in losses through the years. And now helping our farmers:
“I mean, it’s an incredible deal for farmers. I think they’ll have to go out and buy more land and buy bigger tractors. So, we’ll hopefully get that done pretty quickly.”
What’s not to like? MAGA! KAG! :)
I think the key to success with any China trade deal will be enforcement mechanisms to make certain they comply to terms.
You’re very welcome.
Will be interesting to hear POTUS speak to an Evangelical audience in a few hours.
Tony Perkins was on with Neil Cavuto this morning and mentioned how PDJT’s decision to let the Kurds fend for themselves was the first time Evangelicals have been shaken a bit in their support of President Trump.
I’m sure the great majority of Evangelicals will not allow the Kurd situation to sway them away from voting for him. They know that any Dem would abandon Israel in short order and how critical their votes for Trump are..
Do you feel that way, too?
The press corps try to play “gotcha” with him, but President Trump swats all of them like common house flies.
You’d think they’d give up asking stupid, mundane questions but they think they’re scoring points with their mind numbed audience and colleagues.
