FULL TRANSCRIPT OF TRUMP’S OVAL OFFICE INTERVIEW WITH THE DAILY CALLER
Daily Caller ^ | 11/14/2018 | BENNY JOHNSON

Posted on 11/14/2018 8:59:07 PM PST by bitt

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump sat for an exclusive Oval Office interview Wednesday with The Daily Caller’s Saagar Enjeti and Benny Johnson for approximately 31 minutes.

The transcript is as follows:

THE DAILY CALLER: Let’s get the news of the day out at the top. There’s all of these things that are being discussed about the chief of staff [John Kelly], about Kirstjen Nielsen. Why are you disappointed in the DHS secretary and is John Kelly going to be staying in his job right now?

POTUS: So, you know, always in an administration after the midterms you make changes, so, I’m looking at things and I’ve got a lot of options. A lot of people want to come in. A lot of politicians that have had very successful careers that are very good want to come in. So I’m looking at things — haven’t made a decision yet. I will be making a decision on Homeland shortly.

But I have not made decisions yet. But I will be making changes on various things. Overall, I have a very good cabinet. I think our cabinet’s great.

You know, you’re talking about a few names, you’re not talking about many.

Uh, we’ve been doing incredibly on trade deals and trade with my whole staff of traders, because that’s what they are. What we’ve done on trade deals is incredible — with Mexico, with Canada, with South Korea — taking deals that were horrible and making great deals. And now we’re in the midst of China and others..

Breaking News!! CNN has announced another emergency lawsuit!!

This one asks the judge to prohibit the administration from allowing access to Daily Caller and other “conservative” media. It also demands that the judge order POTUS to give interviews with CNN upon request.

Interesting what Trump had to say about the situations with Antifa...more importantly those who would oppose them who are showing amazing restraint Imo.....hopefully they will continue to do so. However.....Antifa would be utter fools to push the envelope, students and gutter rags against mountain men, police, military etc.......antifa would be hurting seriously bad.

Why?...because our men know what they’re fighting for....antifa hasn’t a clue what’s on their menu day to day.

“I will be making a decision on Homeland shortly.”

Sounds like the bell is tolling for my favorite Border Barbie, Kirstjen Neilsen. I wish her well - because I have a crush on her.

These briefings need to replace WH press conferences

When they ask me to turn off my ad blocker, I just check off “I don’t support the daily caller” on the bottom..

I must be blind. Thanks, that statement was there, but I didn’t “see” it.

It would have been worse without Trump’s help. Trump fights for America, he fights for us; against the media, against corrupt Democrats and Republicans establishment types, against Leftists everywhere.
