Trump takes questions while accepting Doordash order

[0:00] Hold on. Let's listen in here. [0:17] Is that surprising to you, actually? [0:19] It was very surprising. Very surprising. [0:21] Great, big, beautiful bill. [0:23] And that doesn't include overtime in your case. [0:25] This is only just based on what we did in terms of every other aspect of the tax bill, right? [0:31] Yes, sir. [0:32] So it was $11,000 saving. [0:34] Yes, sir. [0:34] Isn't that incredible? [0:35] And that's what it is. [0:37] It's the tax cut. [0:38] It's really, you know, we call it the great, big, beautiful bill. [0:40] We should call it the great, big, beautiful tax cut bill because it's tremendous amounts of money. [0:46] And that's overtime. [0:47] That's also on Social Security, as you know. [0:50] Yes. [0:50] And it's pretty amazing. [0:53] Yes, it is. [0:53] Well, you're really nice. [0:54] Would you like to do a little news conference with me with these people? [0:58] These are not the nicest people. [0:59] They're not nice like you. [1:00] You know that, right? [1:02] I'll do whatever you ask me to do, sir. [1:04] So the no tax on tips is something special, right? [1:07] It's very special. [1:08] And that's one that really pertains to you more than anything else. [1:11] Yes, sir. [1:11] Yes. [1:12] It's fantastic. [1:13] It's such an honor to meet you. [1:14] And I think you voted for me, do you think? [1:17] Maybe. [1:18] Yeah? [1:20] I heard you're a great supporter. [1:21] We appreciate it. [1:22] Thank you. [1:22] I'll put this over here. [1:24] And why don't we have a news conference with the president? [1:27] Okay. [1:27] Do you want to do it? [1:28] Sure. [1:28] You don't have to space say too much. [1:29] I think they're looking about hormones straight and various other things. [1:34] Do you have any questions? [1:35] Mr. President, did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? [1:41] Well, it wasn't depicted. [1:42] It was me. [1:43] I did post it. [1:45] And I thought it was me as a doctor. [1:47] And it had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. [1:51] And only the fake news could come up with that one. [1:54] And so I had just heard about it. [1:59] And I said, how did they come up with that? [2:01] It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. [2:04] And I do make people better. [2:05] I make people a lot better. [2:08] As an example, the 11,000, I understand your husband's going through treatment. [2:13] Yes, sir. [2:14] Yes, sir. [2:15] He's going through some very serious cancer treatment. [2:18] So this goes a long way. [2:19] Yes, sir. [2:20] It sure does. [2:21] Mr. President, another round of talks planned with Iran. [2:25] And if so, will you send Vice President James Randall in? [2:29] Well, he's done a good job. [2:30] And Steve and Jared, they've all done a very good job. [2:34] And I can tell you that we've been called by the other side. [2:38] They'd like to make a deal very badly. [2:40] Very badly. [2:41] What was the sticking point over? [2:43] You said it was over nuclear. [2:44] It was over nuclear. [2:46] Very similar. [2:46] Yeah, very good. [2:47] I guess you're listening. [2:48] It's over the fact that they will never have a nuclear weapon. [2:52] Iran, you're marking it down. [2:54] Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. [2:57] And we agreed to a lot of things, but they didn't agree to that. [3:01] And I think they will agree to it. [3:03] I'm almost sure of it. [3:04] In fact, I am sure of it. [3:05] If they don't agree, there's no deal. [3:06] There'll never be a deal. [3:08] Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. [3:10] And we're going to get the dust back. [3:12] We'll get it back either. [3:13] We'll get it back from them or we'll take it. [3:15] Mr. President, as far as the naval blockade is concerned, what's the end game? [3:19] Is it to force Iran back to the negotiating table? [3:22] Is it to open up the straits so that gas prices ultimately come down? [3:26] Maybe everything. [3:26] I mean, both of those things, certainly, and more. [3:29] We can't let a country blackmail or extort the world because that's what they're doing. [3:37] They're really blackmailing the world. [3:39] We're not going to let that happen. [3:40] And, you know, the amazing thing is we don't, can you believe this? [3:45] We don't use this trade. [3:46] We don't need this trade. [3:47] We have our own oil and gas, much more than we need. [3:49] We have more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia. [3:53] Think of this. [3:53] We produce more Saudi Arabia and add Russia to it, substantially more. [3:59] And by next year, we'll have double that amount. [4:02] So we don't need it, but the world needs it. [4:05] And many ships are heading to our country right now as we speak to load up with the best. [4:12] Really, I guess you could say somebody said the best and sweetest. [4:15] I don't know exactly what sweet is, but when it relates to oil, it's a good thing. [4:19] But they're coming to our country right now. [4:22] There are many boats coming to our country. [4:23] Now, it could very well be this is going to be settled before that. [4:28] We've been called this morning by the right people, the appropriate people, [4:33] and they want to work a deal. [4:34] They would like to work a deal. [4:35] Is it your anticipation, Mr. President, that other countries will assist in this effort to blockade Iran and those? [4:42] Yeah, other countries are going to also. [4:44] Which countries, sir? [4:45] We don't need other countries, frankly, but they've offered the services. [4:49] We'll let it be known probably tomorrow. [4:52] Has the lock-in started, sir? [4:53] Yeah, it started at 10 o'clock. [4:55] Bishop Robert Barron. [4:56] Bishop Robert Barron's support to you and your policies, creating the news for defending women's freedom. [5:02] Yeah. [5:03] He now says you owe Pope Leo an apology. [5:05] Do you apologize? [5:06] No, I don't, because Pope Leo said things that are wrong. [5:10] He was very much against what I'm doing with regard to Iran, and you cannot have a nuclear Iran. [5:17] Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result. [5:20] You'll have hundreds of millions of people dead, and it's not going to happen. [5:24] So I can't. [5:25] I think he's very weak on crime and other things, so I'm not. [5:30] I mean, he went public. [5:31] I'm just responding to Pope Leo. [5:33] And, you know, his brother is a big MAGA person, and he's a great guy, Lewis. [5:38] And I said I like Lewis better than I like the Pope. [5:40] Now, you have to have law and order in our country, and that's what we have now. [5:45] We have the lowest crime numbers we've had in a long time, despite the fact that many criminals were allowed into our country. [5:52] But we've gotten a lot of them out. [5:54] We've done a great job on crime. [5:55] So we have the lowest murder rate in 125 years, since 1900, the lowest murder rate. [6:03] So we believe strongly in law and order, and he seemed to have a problem with that. [6:09] So there's nothing to apologize for. [6:11] He's wrong. [6:12] And the other thing is he didn't like what we're doing with respect to Iran. [6:16] But Iran wants to be a nuclear nation so they can exterminate the world. [6:24] Not going to happen. [6:25] And Mr. President, if the deal is not reached by the end of the ceasefire, does your threat from before still stand? [6:33] Yeah, I don't want to comment on that, but it won't be pleasant for them. [6:36] Let me put it that way. [6:36] Do you still play in terms of 12th? [6:38] Has your timetable changed in any way in terms of ending this conflict? [6:43] No, it's going on. [6:46] Right now, there's no fighting. [6:47] Right now, we have a blockade. [6:50] They're doing no business. [6:52] I didn't like seeing boats come out if they were doing business with Iran. [6:56] But if there weren't, no boats came out. [6:57] So now they're doing, Iran is doing absolutely no business. [7:01] And we're going to keep it that way very easily. [7:04] Don't forget, their Navy is gone. [7:05] Their air force is gone. [7:06] Their anti-aircraft is gone. [7:08] Their radar is gone. [7:09] And their leaders are gone. [7:11] It's a lot. [7:12] Do you have a problem coming from predominantly going to China, Mr. President? [7:19] Has Xi Jinping reached out? [7:20] No, but we have a very good relationship with China. [7:23] He would like to see this ended also. [7:25] He certainly wants it ended. [7:27] Everyone, I want to see it ended too. [7:28] But we can't give a nuclear weapon to a group of people that have caused nothing but havoc [7:36] for 47 years. [7:38] Look, I'm the president that's done something about it. [7:41] This should have been. [7:42] And many other presidents regret that they didn't. [7:46] So I'm doing something about it. [7:47] Ukraine impeachment documents that were just declassified show that Eric Charronella not only submitted [7:53] false information, but that he had no direct knowledge of the alleged conversations. [7:58] I'll hear say. [7:58] Do you feel indicated by those? [8:00] Yeah, I do. [8:01] Are there a bunch of crooked people you're talking about with respect to all of the things [8:06] that they put against me? [8:07] Yeah. [8:08] Well, it's come out that in so many different ways. [8:10] Thank you very much for that question. [8:12] I appreciate it. [8:12] But in so many different ways, the election was rigged. [8:16] The 2020 election was rigged. [8:17] We found that out. [8:18] What you just said is just a piece of that. [8:21] It's a big piece, but minor, relatively speaking, compared to what they did. [8:26] They cheated on the election. [8:27] They cheated on the vote. [8:29] They cheated in every way possible. [8:31] And it's the only way we got an incompetent man to be a president. [8:34] And he was an incompetent man. [8:35] Many of the things that we're talking about, even including this, this would have been settled [8:39] a long time ago, not now. [8:42] And it should have been settled by other presidents. [8:44] But the election was a rigged election. [8:46] We can't let that happen to our country. [8:48] It's this exculpatory information. [8:50] What should happen? [8:51] Well, it's a very serious charge against them and the Democrats. [8:55] They cheat. [8:57] They can't get elected with their policy. [8:59] So their policy is no good. [9:01] They want to have, I mean, open borders. [9:05] They want to have men playing in women's sport. [9:07] Do you think that men should play in women's sports? [9:09] I really don't have an opinion on that. [9:12] You don't. [9:13] I'll bet you do. [9:14] No. [9:14] I'm here about no tax on tips. [9:17] Yeah. [9:18] Okay. [9:18] Master President, do you understand that you delivered to the White House for Oilers tankers? [9:22] Go ahead, please. [9:23] Thank you, Mr. President. [9:24] Is it your understanding that during this period of time, while the U.S. has instituted this [9:28] naval blockade, that oil companies will be able to send their oil tankers through the [9:34] strait, get more oil out from this area? [9:36] Yeah, I think they're going to be doing very well there, and I think they're doing very [9:39] well here. [9:40] You know, a lot of tankers are coming up here. [9:43] They're coming in empty and out full, and we have a great capacity to take care of that [9:48] business. [9:49] Ma'am, may we know your name, please? [9:50] Have you delivered to the White House before? [9:52] I have not. [9:53] My name is Sharon Simmons. [9:55] And are the White House good tippers? [9:56] Do you know? [9:57] Um, wait. [9:59] Potentially. [10:01] Yes, very. [10:03] Mr. President, can I ask you something else? [10:05] Thank you. [10:06] You reminded me. [10:07] Mr. President, one on Cuba, sir, you previously said that you had no problem with countries [10:13] sending fuel to Cuba after previously promising to tear them. [10:18] What happened? [10:19] What changed? [10:20] Well, we're going to see with Cuba. [10:21] Cuba's another story. [10:23] Cuba's been a terribly run country for a long time. [10:26] It's got a bad system. [10:28] It's been very oppressive, as you know. [10:29] And we have a lot of great Cuban Americans, all of whom just about voted for me. [10:34] And they were treated very badly. [10:36] In many cases, family members have been killed. [10:38] They've been beaten up and mugged. [10:41] And, like, terrible things happened in Cuba. [10:44] And Cuba's a failing nation. [10:46] And we're going to do this. [10:48] And we may stop by Cuba after we're finished with this. [10:51] But Cuba is a nation that has been horribly run for many years by Castro. [10:57] You said may stop by Regulator Bill Pulte. [11:01] Regarding those two recent referrals for Letitia James for insurance fraud, do you know if federal prosecutors have evidence to charge? [11:08] Well, I don't know. [11:09] I know she's a very corrupt person. [11:12] And you're talking about the so-called Attorney General of New York. [11:16] She's a very corrupt person. [11:17] That's been proven now. [11:19] And I know they have nothing to do with it. [11:23] But they're looking at things all over the place, more than one state concerning her. [11:28] And concerning people like Comey, who's a dirty cop. [11:32] Comey's a dirty cop. [11:34] And dirty cops are bad. [11:36] I love nobody likes the police more than me, law enforcement more than me. [11:40] But Comey's a totally dirty cop. [11:43] And we're not going to stand for it. [11:45] Yeah? [11:46] The UFC fight that's happening at the White House this summer. [11:49] The UFC typically numbers those fights consecutively. [11:52] But should they label this one UFC 1776? [11:56] That's a good idea. [11:57] I'll tell that to Dana White. [11:58] I like that idea, actually. [12:00] I will say I've been involved with a lot of big events. [12:02] I've never had an event that's had more interest than the UFC fight that we have right at the front door. [12:08] Right there, they're going to start building about a 4,500-seat arena. [12:13] And then in the back, at the ellipse, we're going to have maybe 100,000, 50,000 to 100,000 people, I guess. [12:20] They're building tremendous stages. [12:23] And we're going to have massive screens of the fight. [12:26] And it's a very popular sport. [12:28] But I have never been involved, because of the White House and everything. [12:32] There's a lot of reasons for it. [12:34] But we're having a fight at the White House on June 14th. [12:37] And we're going to have an arena built right at the front door. [12:41] And, you know, if you want, is your husband up to coming, do you think? [12:45] Does he like UFC? [12:46] He might. [12:47] If he's feeling good, we'll make sure you come, okay? [12:49] That would be wonderful. [12:51] That's better than the tip I just gave you, I'll tell you. [12:53] That's a lot better. [12:54] But, no, if he's feeling good, right? [12:55] Is he doing okay? [12:56] Is he going to be okay? [12:57] He's doing very well. [12:58] He's doing very well. [12:59] He actually, during the process, he wrote a book. [13:06] Go ahead, give him the name. [13:07] He hasn't had it published yet, but it's a book on humility. [13:12] And his name is Leo, and he's just doing good. [13:18] He's doing great. [13:19] How long are you married? [13:20] We have been married for six years. [13:24] Oh, so that's good. [13:25] But, you know, like most people, we've been together for over ten. [13:28] That's very good. [13:29] Well, that's very nice to say hello to him. [13:31] He's going to be good. [13:33] Okay, he's going to get better, and he's going to be good. [13:35] Yes, sir. [13:35] Good. [13:36] Well, I want to thank you all, and I especially want to thank you for being here. [13:39] Well, I want to thank you for the no tax on tips. [13:44] Oh, that's good. [13:44] It has helped my family out immensely, and I definitely appreciate it. [13:49] That's so nice. [13:50] You know, the one thing that I, just in leaving, we've had more good press for change having [13:56] to do with the fact that people are receiving more money from their tax refunds than they [14:01] ever thought possible. [14:03] We had a man the other day got $5,000. [14:05] Another one got seven. [14:06] They weren't expecting anything like this, and it's because of the great, big, beautiful [14:10] bill, and that's why you came, and I really appreciate it, and tell your husband to get [14:14] better. [14:15] I will. [14:15] And if you're feeling good, you'll come up and you'll watch that fight. [14:18] All right. [14:19] Okay, June 14th. [14:19] I appreciate it. [14:20] Thank you. [14:20] Thank you very much. [14:21] Thank you so much. [14:22] Take care of yourself. [14:22] Thank you. [14:23] Any update on who you want to lead DOJ? [14:29] Well, I think Todd, as far as doing a fantastic job, I will say that. [14:33] He's a great lawyer. [14:33] I know that because he's been with me a long time, and so far he's doing a great job. [14:39] But we have incredible people in the DOJ, getting better all the time. [14:43] Thank you very much, everybody. [14:44] Thank you. [14:45] Thank you, sir. [14:46] Well, there you have it. [14:48] A very last-minute, impromptu press conference from President Trump there at the Oval Office [14:54] where it appeared that the president was ordering DoorDash, and in many ways to push the message [15:00] of no taxes on tips, he had a DoorDasher there, bring him McDonald's, and then ultimately take [15:07] a number of questions from reporters there. [15:09] Thank you very much.
