FULL ADDRESS: Trump Speaks Before Coast Guard Speech — Iran, Xi, Putin & Election Questions — AC15

[0:00] And I believe the Texas candidate, who's Ken Paxson, [0:03] I think he'll win. [0:05] I think, probably, he'll win very substantially. [0:08] And I think he'll go on to defeat a very defective [0:12] candidate, a candidate that believes in six genders. [0:15] And he takes hits at Jesus Christ, [0:17] and he's wearing a mask six months ago. [0:20] Where's a guy? [0:21] Anybody wearing a mask six months ago doesn't get it. [0:26] And he's a vegan. [0:27] He's a vegan in Texas. [0:29] And you can't get elected as a vegan in Texas. [0:31] The Presser did you talk to Senate leadership [0:33] on the Republican side about endorsing against an incumbent? [0:37] The President I did. I did. [0:38] They'll be all right with it. [0:40] They want to win. I know how to win. [0:42] The Presser are you worried about ballrooms? [0:44] The President Some of them don't know how to win. [0:45] I know how to win. I think I've proven that, haven't I? [0:48] The Presser are you worried about the ballrooms [0:50] by new Mr. President? [0:51] The Presser are speculations that could be- [0:52] The President No, the ballrooms are being built. [0:54] I'm building the ballroom. [0:56] You saw it yesterday, right? [0:57] The Presser are you worried about ballrooms? [0:58] The President Yeah. [0:58] The President We're building a great ballroom. [0:59] It's been needed. [1:00] It's a very military complex. [1:03] The roof is actually a drone port. [1:05] The roof of the ballroom is a drone port, [1:08] and it gives great safety to everything below. [1:10] It's good. [1:11] We're building a really great ballroom, [1:14] but it's also a military- [1:17] a strong military position for our people. [1:20] The Presser Do you think Vance or Rubigo did better [1:22] in the press briefing? [1:23] The President Do I think who? [1:25] The Presser Do I think they both did great? [1:29] What do you want me to say, right? [1:31] I think they both did good. [1:32] Do you like that? [1:33] That's pretty good, though, right? [1:35] I think they both did good. [1:36] I watched both of them. [1:37] Both. [1:38] Both very good men, really. [1:40] The Presser Do you have a problem with Prime Minister Netanyahu? [1:43] The President When her husband votes against me all the time, [1:45] can you imagine? [1:46] I don't know what's with him. [1:48] You better ask him what's with him. [1:50] Her husband, she's married to a certain congressman. [1:53] He likes voting against Trump. [1:56] You know what happens with that. [1:57] It doesn't work out well. [1:59] I don't know why he does. [2:00] The Presser Do you have any plans to call President Lai [2:04] before you make your decision on the arms deal? [2:07] The President What? [2:08] The Presser Do you have any plans to call President Lai [2:10] of Taiwan before you make a decision on the weapons package? [2:14] The President Well, I'll speak to him. [2:15] I speak to everybody. [2:17] We have that situation very well in hand. [2:20] We had a great meeting with President Xi. [2:23] It was amazing, actually. [2:25] It was amazing. [2:26] Many of you were there. [2:28] We'll work on that Taiwan problem. [2:30] The Presser Do you have any time, sir? [2:32] The President What have you said to Prime Minister Netanyahu [2:33] about Iran and how long to hold off on strike? [2:36] The President He's fine. [2:36] He'll do whatever I want him to do. [2:38] He's a very good man. [2:41] He'll do whatever I want him to do. [2:42] And he's a great guy. [2:45] To me, he's a great guy. [2:47] Don't forget, he was a wartime prime minister. [2:50] And he's not treated right in Israel, in my opinion. [2:53] I'm right now at 99 percent in Israel. [2:56] I could run for prime minister. [2:57] So maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel, [3:00] run for prime minister. [3:02] I had a poll this morning. [3:03] I'm 99 percent. [3:05] So that's good. [3:06] But, no, he's a wartime prime minister. [3:09] And I just don't think they treat him well. [3:11] The Presser Do you think he's been doing that? [3:13] The President I think they have a President over there [3:15] that treats him very poorly. [3:16] The Presser Do you think you're on the same page [3:17] with him on Iran? [3:19] The President Yeah. [3:20] The Presser Do you think you're on the same page [3:21] with him on Iran? [3:22] The President Yeah. [3:23] The Presser Do you think you're on the same page [3:25] if somebody comes along, I'd look. [3:26] It's a little late in the race. [3:28] But if somebody comes along, I'd look. [3:30] The Presser Do you see yourself in him at all? [3:35] A former reality TV star? [3:36] The President No, I'd like to see him do well. [3:38] He's a character. [3:39] I don't know. [3:40] I don't know him. [3:41] I assume he probably supports me. [3:42] Does he support me? [3:43] The Presser Do you think so? [3:44] The President I think so. [3:45] The President I heard he does. [3:46] I heard he's a big MAGA person. [3:49] He's doing well. [3:50] I don't know if, you know, if you have a rigged vote [3:52] out there, that's the problem. [3:53] The votes are rigged. [3:54] You have a really rigged vote in California. [3:57] You have all the mail-in ballots, everything else. [3:59] It's very hard to win because the elections [4:02] are very dishonest. [4:04] If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, [4:07] I would have won California because I'd do [4:09] great with Hispanics. [4:11] But it's a rigged vote. [4:12] They send out 38 million votes. [4:14] Nobody knows where they're going. [4:16] Of course, the Democrats do, I guess. [4:17] But disproportionately, Democrats get many more votes. [4:21] Some get eight votes. [4:23] They get eight cards. [4:25] And Republicans have to call in, where's my card? [4:28] It's a rigged system. [4:29] One of the most, not the worst. [4:31] I'll give you a list. [4:32] Maybe I'll do my list. [4:34] But it's California is one of the most dishonest [4:37] states for running. [4:38] The Presser What's your message to the cadets today? [4:41] The President Just enjoy your life, you know. [4:43] They enjoy it. [4:43] They're great guys. [4:45] My second time at the Coast Guard Academy. [4:48] They're great guys. [4:50] We like them. [4:50] You know, you don't realize how important Coast Guard [4:53] is until you have a hurricane. [4:55] And I remember the big hurricane in Texas where [4:58] these kids go on boats, and they're going to the [5:01] waves that are 20 times higher than the boat. [5:05] And I say, can they really make it? [5:07] I'm watching this. [5:08] And they say they find a way. [5:10] But they were going into waves, these massive waves, [5:13] to save people that were inside. [5:15] And you don't realize it. [5:17] But, boy, they are good. [5:18] They are good seamen. [5:20] They are unbelievable. [5:21] I wouldn't want to do it. [5:22] The Presser Mr. President, you think? [5:22] The President I'm a very brave person. [5:24] But I wouldn't want to do it. [5:25] The Presser What do you make of President Xi [5:27] meeting with Putin this week? [5:28] The President Well, he told me he was going to. [5:30] I think it's good. [5:31] I get along with both of them. [5:33] But I think it's good. [5:34] I don't know if the ceremony is quite as brilliant [5:37] as mine. [5:38] I watched. [5:39] I think we topped them. [5:41] I think we topped them. [5:42] Good team. [5:44] But, no, I like — I get along with Putin. [5:45] I get along with — I get along with everybody, [5:48] but your husband and a few others. [5:50] The Presser On the Iran deal, would you be open [5:51] to a limited deal that just covered the Strait of Hormuz? [5:54] The President What does that mean? [5:55] The Presser On Iran, just a limited deal, [5:57] just for a longer ceasefire. [5:58] The President We'd have to open the Strait. [6:00] That would open immediately. [6:02] So we're going to give this one shot. [6:03] I'm in no hurry. [6:04] You never think, oh, the midterms, I'm in a hurry. [6:06] I'm in no hurry. [6:07] I just — ideally, I'd like to see few people killed, [6:11] as opposed to a lot. [6:13] We could do it either way, but I'd like to see [6:15] few people killed. [6:16] I just wonder whether or not they have the good [6:18] of the people, because some of the things they're doing [6:21] to me means they don't have the good of the people, [6:24] and they have to have the good of the people. [6:28] There's a lot of anger now in Iran because people [6:31] are living so badly. [6:32] There's a lot of foment that we haven't seen before [6:35] so much, and we'll see what happens. [6:37] Has it taken longer than you expected it would [6:39] to make a deal with Iran? [6:40] The President Well, let's put it this way. [6:41] You were in Vietnam 19 years, right? [6:44] You were in Afghanistan and these other places 10 years. [6:50] You were in Iraq. [6:51] How long were you in Iraq? [6:52] Twelve, twelve years. [6:54] You were in Korea for seven years. [6:57] World War II is different. [6:58] That was four years. [7:00] I'm in for three months, and much of it's been ceasefire, so. [7:05] And you know what? [7:06] You lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers [7:08] in these various wars. [7:10] In two wars, Venezuela, where we lost nobody, [7:14] and here, we lost 13 people. [7:17] Now, 13 people is 13 too much, but we lost 13 people. [7:22] In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. [7:25] So, people don't like it when you say, [7:29] oh, do you know you've lost 13? [7:31] We've lost in two major wars. [7:34] We took over Venezuela. [7:36] We essentially took over Iran, and we've lost so far 13 people. [7:41] Some other — somebody else would have lost 100,000 people. [7:47] Okay? [7:49] But I get a kick when I look at somebody on television. [7:52] He's lost 13 people. [7:54] I lost 13 people. [7:55] They lost 13 people leaving an airport. [7:58] Obama. [7:59] Thirteen very good people that I got to know their family. [8:02] So, what we've done is amazing. [8:05] And we have them decimated. [8:07] Iran is decimated. [8:08] And, I mean, you're going to see things that are amazing. [8:12] You're going to see a lot of amazing things [8:14] over the next three years for our country. [8:17] And I'd like to talk more about the economy, [8:19] because we have $18 trillion being spent, [8:22] and no country has ever had anything like that. [8:24] We have car plants pouring in from Mexico, Canada. [8:27] They don't want to be there. [8:28] There's no reason to be there, [8:30] because they want to sell our market. [8:32] We have car companies and plants coming in from Germany, [8:36] from South Korea, from Japan. [8:39] Coming in by the billions. [8:41] And they're being built now. [8:42] You're going to see things that nobody thought was possible. [8:45] The Press, the DOJ — [8:47] The President of the United States, you're going to end up saying [8:48] he's the greatest president that ever lived. [8:50] Goodbye, everybody. [8:51] The Press, James told me over the weekend, Mr. President, [8:53] he suggested that there's still people in your DOJ and FBI [8:56] that are waiting you out. [8:57] They're waiting until your administration is over [8:59] to get back to work. [9:00] Do you think those people are still in the DOJ and FBI? [9:03] I hope not. [9:04] Well, they'll — we're going to seek them out. [9:06] We'll seek them out. [9:07] We'll get rid of them, okay? [9:09] Because you have — in every agency, you have scum. [9:11] And certainly, they did it in the FBI and DOJ. [9:15] But Todd Blanche is doing a fantastic job. [9:17] Cash is doing a very good job. [9:19] So, we'll — we will prevail. [9:22] I've been standing here a long time with you, many years, right? [9:26] And they've been saying, I think it's it. [9:27] I think he's trouble, okay? [9:29] Here I am, you know? [9:30] We're just — it's a very constant situation. [9:33] But I think you're going to find that we have great people [9:37] in the FBI and we have great people in DOJ. [9:40] Todd Blanche has really been doing a great job. [9:42] And a lot of things to come. [9:44] We have a lot of things that are coming right now. [9:46] So, it's going to be great. [9:48] Our country is doing well. [9:49] Thank you very much. [9:50] The Press- Thank you, Mr. President. [9:50] Thanks. [9:51] Thank you, Mr. President. [9:55] I'll see you next time.
