President Trump's SECRET WEAPON Against the Democrats Exposed at Oval Press Conference!

[0:00] Can any modifications be made? [0:02] I mean, occasionally there's no major modification without the approval of Congress. [0:07] So if they want to say, let's not have oval anymore, let's make it square. [0:13] What happens is they have to go back to Congress and hopefully the Congress, [0:19] the people in Congress will be smart enough not to let that happen. [0:22] And that includes also the cabinet room. [0:26] You know, just we've had great victories in these rooms and they're so important. [0:31] I mean, I have people coming, the biggest business people, you know, [0:34] their beautiful offices, they walk in here and they say, this is incredible. [0:37] Not the beauty, it's the whole, it's the whole aura of the Oval Office and the cabinet room. [0:43] And you'll see the cabinet room in a second if they open it up. Yeah. [0:46] Mr. President, thank you. So speaking of what you've done in this room, [0:49] you've signed about 300 executive orders in the past two years. [0:52] How do you plan to use... [0:54] To record. We've signed a record number of executive orders. [0:58] How do you plan to use executive orders in the next two years? [1:01] And in addition to the cabinet room and the Oval Office, [1:04] how else do you plan to preserve your legacy in the next two years and onward? [1:08] So we're going to do a lot of things. [1:10] You'll be seeing a lot of things over the next week, two weeks. [1:13] We have a lot of things cooking. We're doing very well. [1:16] We have thousands of plants and factories being built in the United States. [1:20] And somebody said, oh, about tariffs. Let me tell you, if I took tariffs off right now, [1:25] every one of those plants would immediately stop construction because they're only building them, [1:32] maybe for two reasons or three reasons. [1:34] But the 99% is if they don't build them in order to sell their product into the United States, [1:41] they'd have to pay a 50, 100, 150, 250, even 300% tariff. [1:47] And once they start building and once they open up, they pay no tariffs. [1:53] So it's amazing. [1:54] So all of that money, $22.2 trillion is coming in because these great companies from all over the world, [2:03] they'd rather not build them. [2:04] By the way, if you took the tariffs off, they would be so happy, [2:07] they would stop construction immediately. [2:11] You know who knows that better than anybody? [2:13] Laura back there. [2:14] Laura, if we took the tariffs off, you know, every, right, [2:18] we're building over 3,000 factories right now. [2:21] Every factory would come to an immediate halt. [2:24] They would say, thank you, sir, very much. [2:26] We're going back. [2:27] We'll send you the product from Japan. [2:29] And if you didn't have tariffs, if we didn't put tariffs on, [2:32] we've been ripped off for years by other countries having tariffs and we didn't have. [2:36] And that woman understands it. [2:38] I think maybe better than almost anybody. [2:41] She's covered it very fairly young. [2:43] In other words, if we took tariffs off right now, let's, you know, [2:48] I watch these stupid people. [2:50] We have $22.2 trillion. [2:53] The highest number ever for any country at any time by maybe five times. [2:59] If we took that off, everybody would stop building. [3:03] You would have partially built factories all over the country. [3:07] And they would just send in their product from China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, everything. [3:15] No, but when they build, they open and they don't have to pay any tariffs. [3:19] So that's why. [3:20] And by the way, prices will come way down. [3:22] Yes, please. [3:23] Mr. President, next week when House Republicans vote for their next leader in the new Congress, [3:28] if they deadlock between Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan, would you intervene? [3:32] Would you endorse one of those gentlemen? [3:35] Well, I might. [3:36] I mean, I don't think I'll have to. [3:37] They'll end up picking somebody. [3:38] But those are two tremendous people, great people. [3:41] Yeah. [3:42] Mr. President, there's a tanker on its way across the Atlantic filled with Russian diesel fuel. [3:47] There's a law that was passed in 2022. [3:50] And where is it going? [3:51] It's coming to the United States, supposedly. [3:54] There's a law that says that that fuel cannot be unloaded in the United States. [3:57] It makes it illegal. [3:58] Is that under the Jones Act? [4:00] No, it was passed by Congress, signed by President Biden in 2022. [4:04] Oh, by Biden? [4:05] How are you important? [4:07] Well, that probably makes it a pretty bad law. [4:09] I'll take a look at it, sure. [4:11] Mr. President, there's reporting that Iran is reviewing a set of proposals presented [4:15] by mediators that could shape the future of its nuclear program. [4:18] Is the U.S. involved in that? [4:20] They're not doing anything without our approval. [4:24] What I said to you, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. [4:28] They're not doing anything without our approval. [4:30] So you've seen this proposal that Iran is looking at? [4:35] It doesn't make any difference what they're looking at. [4:37] They're not going to have a nuclear weapon. [4:38] They know that. [4:39] So do I. [4:40] Go ahead. [4:41] What do you think about Al-Sayed not backing Chuck Schumer? [4:45] Do you think that it signals a larger divide within the Democratic Party? [4:47] They have to work out their own situation. [4:49] He made a statement that he wouldn't early on, and so he's just living by that statement. [4:54] I think Schumer probably gets it because, yeah, he's been around a long time. [5:00] He's actually not a bad guy. [5:01] I know him. [5:02] I know him very well. [5:03] I know him better than most. [5:04] Yeah. [5:05] So this week, Democratic Socialists win today, for example, the mayoral race in L.A. [5:09] and also in Washington, D.C. [5:11] Now together with New York, three major cities are going to be led by Democratic Socialists. [5:16] What's your message to these mayors who will be leading these cities? [5:19] And also what's your message to the residents in these cities who might not have voted for [5:23] them and are worried about where their cities are going? [5:25] Well, they're going to have to see what happens. [5:26] I mean, there'll be a point at which if people are unhappy, they'll be changed. [5:32] But unfortunately, usually that happens so late that you'll never be able to bring back [5:36] a city or a country or a state when it goes too far. [5:40] I watched the election in Los Angeles, and it was a very disgraceful event because I [5:48] thought Spencer Pratt would be in the final, and so did everyone else. [5:51] So did the one who was leading or winning. [5:54] She broke down and cried, and she said, oh, I lost, I lost. [5:57] But then they found the votes necessary to bring her in. [6:00] And our elections are so crooked, you have no idea. [6:04] So, but look, if you go by history, it's going to be a disaster. [6:08] It's going to be a disaster. [6:09] I deal with a very nice gentleman. [6:12] I get along with him great from New York. [6:14] We'll see how that all works out. [6:15] I'd like to make sure that New York does well, and hopefully it will. [6:22] But it's tough. [6:23] Those policies are very tough. [6:24] They're very tough on a city, a state, or a country. [6:28] That's been proven over a thousand years with different names. [6:30] We see some chatter about Pete Hegseth. [6:33] Are you expecting any staffing changes? [6:35] No, I don't think Pete Hegseth has done a fantastic job. [6:39] Now, he's got some interesting things. [6:44] You know, we had more generals than we did in World War II. [6:48] We had so many generals. [6:49] Everybody was a four-star general. [6:51] I never saw anything like it. [6:52] And many of those people were awoke. [6:55] I don't like awoke general. [6:57] And so he probably has opposition. [6:59] I think he's doing a fantastic job. [7:00] So, we had a war with Venezuela. [7:03] It was over in 48 minutes. [7:05] We had total success. [7:06] No deaths. [7:07] We have, I guess, I don't know if it's a war, [7:11] because there hasn't been anybody killed in many months. [7:15] But we have a war with a place called the Islamic Republic of Iran. [7:23] Lovely place. [7:24] And we control the Straits. [7:27] We're doing more oil right now going through the Straits [7:30] than we did before the war started. [7:32] And nobody's been killed in about seven months, six months. [7:39] And, you know, if you look at Russia, Ukraine, see, that's a war. [7:42] That's a war. [7:43] 25,000 people being killed a month. [7:46] We're going to get that settled pretty soon, by the way. [7:49] But 25,000 people a month being killed. [7:51] They fight day and night. [7:52] Day and night. [7:53] All day. [7:54] And you have World War I, World War II. [7:57] Those are wars. [7:58] Somebody said a war with Iran. [8:01] No. [8:02] We have succeeded with the blockade tremendously. [8:07] And we have destroyed so many men told me today, [8:11] and it's from the area, a neighboring country. [8:15] That'll take them 25 to 30 years right now to rebuild their country. [8:19] And, you know, so we'll see how that all works out. [8:24] I think it's working out very well. [8:26] Somebody else called, you know, they say it's an occupation. [8:29] Remember, because it is virtually an occupation. [8:32] And we're not looking to be wise guys, but it is an occupation. [8:37] And remember this. [8:39] So we've lost 18 lives, and 18 is far too many. [8:43] But in Vietnam, we lost thousands and thousands of lives over a 21-year period. [8:48] In Afghanistan, we lost tremendous numbers of lives. [8:51] 18 is too many. [8:54] One is too many. [8:55] But we lost 18 lives. [8:57] And we've been there for seven months. [8:59] And we have full control of that place. [9:03] They shoot a rocket every once in a while. [9:05] We get hit by a drone, and it bounces off a metal object, you know. [9:09] Or we shoot it down. [9:10] Most of the time we shoot it down. [9:11] But there's nobody been killed in a long time. [9:15] I don't want to jinx myself by saying that because we'll walk out the door and say, guess what just happened? [9:21] But it's 18 souls, and that's too many. [9:25] But in Vietnam, if you look, it's thousands and thousands of Americans. [9:30] And you can also look at it in a different way. [9:34] Over the years, the SS coal and Iran has caused a lot of bloodshed for America. [9:41] They started it in 19... [9:44] Think of it. [9:45] They really started it in probably 1979, right? [9:51] That's when it started. [9:52] And during that period of time, they killed thousands of Americans and many other people. [9:58] And if you go back just over the last seven months, they've killed 75,000. [10:03] At least that's as of two months ago. [10:05] They've killed 75,000 protesters, hanging many from cranes. [10:11] So we've done a good job. [10:15] So you're not making changes here between... [10:18] I was just going to say, so Pete's in charge of war, right? [10:23] Department of War made that change. [10:25] Venezuela has been unbelievable. [10:29] Consider it one of the greatest attacks anybody's ever seen. [10:33] He was in charge of that, along with me and others. [10:36] But Venezuela, we've taken out billions and billions of dollars worth of oil. [10:44] I saw this lightweight congressman the other day criticizing me on Iran for spending $25 billion. [10:51] I said, well, we've taken much more money out of Venezuela than that. [10:55] You know, if you add them up, because it's basically two wars. [10:58] So in Venezuela, we lost nobody. [11:01] It lasted 48 minutes. [11:02] I caught one day, but it lasted 48 minutes and it was over. [11:05] It was a violent attack. [11:08] And in Iran, we are there for seven months and we control everything that we wanted to control. [11:16] And now we'll make a decision. [11:18] Do we want to go further? [11:19] And just certify it by certifying it, meaning where it'll never happen again. [11:25] I think it'll take them 25 years to rebuild the country. [11:28] I would rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but maybe I'll have to. [11:32] You'll know soon enough. [11:34] So we had a tremendous period. [11:35] It's been a tremendous two years. [11:36] I don't think there's ever been a president that's done more. [11:37] Between the great big beautiful bill with the tax cuts with the biggest tax cuts in history, [11:52] biggest regulation cuts in history. [11:55] What we've done is amazing, though, even in the military, between Iran and Venezuela and the border. [12:04] Take a look at the border. [12:05] I mean, the border. [12:06] So we're now in the 18th month with not one person. [12:10] And I don't make out these statistics. [12:12] They're made by people that lean left, as they say. [12:16] Not one person has come into our border, our southern border, over the last 18 months. [12:21] So, you know, it's pretty amazing. [12:23] So we had a tremendous border. [12:24] I probably got elected on the border. [12:25] I can't even talk about it now because people say nobody's interested because you fixed it. [12:29] But my own people, they say nobody is interested in the border. [12:33] You fixed it. [12:34] And but we've had a tremendous success. [12:37] The stock markets hit 91 all time highs. [12:42] 401ks are the highest they've ever been by far. [12:46] With Biden, they were down 25%. [12:48] With me, they're up 74%. [12:50] It's in a short period of time. [12:52] But so 401ks are the highest stock market is the highest. [12:56] I mean, we've had a tremendous period of time. [12:58] It's been it's been amazing. [13:01] We've rebuilt our military. [13:02] We're building more weapons right now in our military than we've ever built before. [13:07] And and we're locked and loaded. [13:09] If we if we have to do the rest of the Iran thing, we're very much locked in. [13:14] Yes, sir. [13:16] Thank you. [13:17] What prompted this decision and what you hope future generations will understand about this decision? [13:22] And what do you say to those who criticize your updates? [13:25] I mean, all this gold Hillary Clinton even criticized your updates about the gold. [13:30] She did? Yeah. [13:31] I don't like her house either. [13:33] I know her house very well. [13:36] Look, the Oval Office is a place of victory. [13:41] It's a place of prestige like the White House. [13:43] If you would have looked, see that beautiful white wall? [13:46] There's no gold in that. [13:47] But I fixed all of the monuments. [13:50] I fixed all of the the borders. [13:53] You have border borders and you have broken windows. [13:56] We had broken windows or cracks in many windows. [13:59] You look up, you see a crack in a window. [14:01] This is representative of our nation. [14:04] I think to me, maybe more than it was between the Capitol, the White House, maybe a few others. [14:09] Supreme Court built it. [14:10] But to me, the White House is so important. [14:14] If you looked at that wall, if you looked at that wall one year ago, [14:20] it was badly damaged from years of service. [14:24] It was badly damaged with cracks, broken stone all over the place. [14:30] The borders, the borders up on top, they were all broken. [14:36] They call them monuments, the figures on the sides. [14:40] You'd have a window with one broken, one not broken. [14:43] So we made a mold of the one that was not broken and placed it very carefully. [14:47] And then it's been resurfaced. [14:49] So because the surface was falling off, it was falling off. [14:53] The columns outside, you can take a look at them. [14:55] They're all beautiful. [14:56] They were all in horrible shape. [14:59] You know, from being beaten up over hundreds of years, actually, [15:04] they got beat up and the building was beat up and it was a shame. [15:09] And I fixed it. [15:10] And I do it very easily. [15:11] I didn't devote time to it a lot of time. [15:13] I just had very talented people that were able to do it. [15:16] I paid for it. [15:17] And we fixed up the exterior of the White House. [15:20] There's no gold. [15:21] There's no cracks. [15:23] There's no broken stone. [15:25] They have beautiful ornamentation on it. [15:28] Original from 1792 when it was built. [15:31] But much of it was broken. [15:34] It was either broken or gone. [15:36] And in many cases, you'd have it on one side of a window. [15:39] And on the other side, there was nothing there because it would fall. [15:43] You'd see the holes. [15:44] You'd see the metal that held it from all these years. [15:48] And it was many years. [15:50] And I said, we've got to fix it. [15:52] So because I did that, I get criticized. [15:55] Oh, isn't that terrible? [15:57] I view the White House as a very important symbol of our country. [16:01] And we can't have broken windows. [16:02] We can't have broken stone. [16:04] I mean, they'd have a big hole in the stone, a gaping hole this steep. [16:07] And instead of fixing it beautifully that you can't even see, they'd just paint it. [16:12] People would look up and say, this is the White House. [16:15] It's so inappropriate. [16:17] So I devoted very little time to it. [16:21] The ballroom is going to be the most, the best in the entire world. [16:25] Even President Xi of China, he said, wow, that's going to be something. [16:29] And he is the Great Hall of China, which is quite nice, I must tell you. [16:33] But we didn't have a place. [16:34] So 150 years. [16:36] And then we have a big military component, drones on top and five stories underneath of all military stuff. [16:43] That was supposed to be top secret until I got sued by a group of people that are very bad for our country. [16:50] We asked him not to sue because then people will see the under. [16:54] You know, when you sue, they see what you're building. [16:56] We built five stories underneath that ballroom. [16:58] And it's going to be great. [17:01] But when you look at that White House, you know, I hear Obama. [17:04] But he doesn't. [17:05] Obama doesn't know about dirt and filth. [17:07] And he doesn't know about crack stone. [17:09] And he doesn't know about broken windows. [17:11] He's probably fine with them. [17:12] But I'm not. [17:13] I'm not fine with them. [17:14] Yeah. [17:15] I think it's great. [17:17] I think she did a great job. [17:18] And we're we're I think we're going to be very close to settling Russia, Ukraine. [17:35] Did you yourself meet with President Putin is here? [17:39] I did. [17:40] You said you met with him? [17:42] Yeah, I did. [17:43] What did you discuss? [17:44] I can't tell you what I discussed. [17:46] But you met with him today. [17:47] But I'm just telling you, there's going to be an agreement. [17:50] It's going to be a big agreement. [17:52] And it's going to involve more than Ukraine. [17:54] It's going to be a very big. [17:56] It's going to involve more than Ukraine. [17:58] And I could even say it might involve all of Europe. [18:01] It's going to be a big, beautiful agreement. [18:04] And everyone's going to be thrilled. [18:05] Yes. [18:06] Did you meet with the Ukrainian delegation as well today? [18:09] No, just with the head person of Russia. [18:12] Are you ready to reinforce the Texas Senate? [18:14] Vladimir Putin right now kills Ukrainian civilians in their apartments, in their buses, in their schools. [18:23] And he's targeting civilians all the time. [18:25] Did you bring that up? [18:26] I always bring it up. [18:28] And I also bring it up the other way, because the other way they killed, too. [18:32] You know, a lot of people are being killed. [18:34] They have, they're losing, between the two of them, they're losing 25,000 people to death. [18:43] 25,000 people a month. [18:45] And I bring it up on both sides. [18:47] You know, Russia's losing civilians also. [18:51] They are, it is a bloodbath, and it has to end. [18:55] And I think we're going to get it ended pretty soon, very soon, maybe. [18:58] Yeah. [18:59] Are you ready to force the Texas Southern border now that the new Democratic governor is removing state manpower from border defense? [19:09] I am sure that the new governor is going to want to have security of this Texas border. [19:15] There were people on television two days ago saying how it's like living in heaven compared to living in hell when Biden was there. [19:23] And I'm sure they'll continue my policy. [19:25] And if they don't continue my policy, I will. [19:28] Okay. [19:29] On going through that assets? [19:31] On Alaska today, you should transfer the votes of the two reportedly recruited candidates to Senator, the real Senator Dan Sullivan. [19:38] How do you see that actually happening? [19:39] How do you see that actually happening? [19:40] And what other? [19:41] I know you have, you have a Dan Sullivan, the real Dan, I call him the real Dan Sullivan. [19:46] You have the fake Dan Sullivan. [19:47] The fake Dan Sullivan got a lot of votes, meaning 2% or something, but a lot. [19:51] And then they also have somebody else in there that they put. [19:55] They put two people, not just Dan Sullivan. [19:57] They put the fake Dan Sullivan. [19:58] They put another guy who never ran for office or anything. [20:02] And they said certain things and he got like 3,000 or 4,000 votes. [20:06] And when you add up those votes, Dan Sullivan, the real Dan Sullivan wins in a landslide, not a landslide, but wins by thousands of votes. [20:14] And I say they, because it was a fraud, it's voter fraud. [20:18] Because it was a fraud and they took that and they took that fraud and they thought they confused the voter. [20:25] And the people that liked Dan, so he's a very good Senator. [20:28] The people that liked Dan Sullivan by mistake voted for the fake Dan Sullivan. [20:33] Likewise, they have another Republican candidate in there. [20:36] So people said a Republican candidate probably had some policy down there and they voted for him. [20:42] So they cheated on thousands of votes. [20:44] It's everyone knows it's a cheat. [20:46] And they should be mandated to take the fake Dan Sullivan's votes and the other person they put in there and give it to the real Dan Sullivan. [20:53] And when that happens, he wins by thousands of votes. [20:57] Thank you very much, everybody. [20:59] Thank you.
