After Answering Mueller's Questions Trump Reveals How The Entire Witch Hunt Is A SCAM
as president Trump starts the final two years of his term he faces new
challenges for the first time he must deal with a divided Congress after
Democrats regain control of the house Robert Muller's Russia probe appears to
be reaching its conclusion and there are new challenges overseas from allies like
Saudi Arabia and adversaries like North Korea we sat down with mr. Trump Friday
in the Roosevelt Room just across from the Oval Office
hoping to explore a presidency at a turning point mr. president thank you
for talking with us thank you Chris very much let's start
with the state of Donald Trump there are a number of stories out there that
you're angry about the midterms about your treatment in the media about the
way you were treated when you were in Paris
one story even said that you were in a quote cocoon of bitterness and
resentment we'll get into all the details later but how dark is your mood
it's very light it's fake news it's disgusting fake news I read a front-page
story in The Washington Post they never even called me nobody ever calls but you
know they they hear I don't even think they have sources I think they just make
it up like it's fiction and I will tell you I'm extremely upbeat the White House
is running like a well-oiled machine it's doing really well I have great
people I will make some changes but not very many I'm very happy with my cabinet
other than you know a couple of exceptions and even there I'm not
unhappy and I will tell you that it's so wrong the reporting about me is so wrong
I'm loving what I'm doing I did well in France I did have a problem where I
wasn't able to go to a cemetery because the Secret Service would not let me do
it we'll get into all of this no no but I'm just telling did the Secret Service
would not let me do it and they made it a big deal you've said a lot of things
there let's try to unpack there's a lot of talk about staff
changes your deputy national security adviser was moved out after your wife
did something I've never heard of a first lady doing before publicly calling
for her removal are you comfortable with the way that went down where it's kind
of looked like your wife was firing one of your advisers well I didn't know the
adviser well really and I know they had a lot of problem I wife did a great job
in Africa and she was not treated properly by the press she really worked
so hard they came to me they wanted to go a little bit public because that's
the way they felt and I thought it was fine
I met with Mira two days ago and we're gonna move her around she was with me
for a long time although I don't know her she's really somebody I don't know
very well but we're gonna move her around because she's got certain talents
but frankly she is not she'll never be put in the United Nations let me put it
that way meaning she's not too diplomat he's not too diplomatic but she's
talented are you happy with Kirsten Nielsen at DHS well I like her a lot I
respect her a lot she's very smart I want her to get much tougher and we'll
see what happens there but I want to be extremely tough what are the chances
she'll be DHS there's a chance but there's a chance everybody I mean that's
what happens in government you leave you make a name you go the people that have
left have done very well the people that have left have done very well from my
white house I like her very much I respect her very much I'd like her to be
much tougher on the border much tougher period back in July you said that chief
of staff John Kelly will be here through 2020 we can say that I wouldn't look we
get along well there were certain things I love what he does and there are
certain things that I don't like that he does if that aren't his strength it's
not that he doesn't do you know he worked so hard he's doing an excellent
job in many ways there are a couple of things where it's just not his strength
it's not his fault it's not his strength such as but I haven't even thought about
John in terms of this but John at some point is going to want
move on John we'll move on so 2020 is no longer written in stone could happen
yeah it could be I mean it could be but let's see what happens I have not look I
have three or four or five positions that I'm thinking about of that maybe
it's going to end up being two maybe but I want to I need flexibility you have
already made at least one big change naming Matt Whittaker as your acting
Attorney General he has a long record of speaking out against the special counsel
and his problem the truth is there was no collusion with the Russians and the
Trump campaign did you know before you appointed him that he had that record
and was so critical of Robert Muller I did not know that I did not know he
took views on the Muller investigation as such and when you found that out I
don't think it had any effect if you look at those statements those
statements that can they really can be viewed either way but I don't think
illusion what do you do when a person's right there is no collusion he happened
to be right I mean he said it so if he said there is collusion I'm supposed to
be taken somebody that says there is because then I wouldn't take him for two
reasons but the number one reason is the fact that he would have been wrong if he
said that there's no collusion he's right he is gonna have to make or could
potentially make a lot of big calls in the Muller investigation if Muller
decides that he wants to subpoena you the Attorney General Whittaker can block
that if mother issues a final report he can decide how much goes to Congress or
doesn't go to Congress you tweeted this week about quote Bob Muller and his gang
of Democrat thugs right yes Whittaker decides in any way to limit or
curtail the Muller investigation are you okay with that look he it's gonna be up
to him I think he's very well aware politically I think he's astute
politically he's a very smart person a very respected person he's gonna do
what's right I really believe he's going to do what's right but you won't
overrule him if he decides to curtail I would not get involved and all these
people that say I'm gonna end the investigation you know they've been
saying that now for how long is this witch-hunt gone on it
and for what since May of something but how long have I been looked at you know
when I've been looked at once again 26 time the day I announced I was looked at
as a candidate with nothing no proof with phony people like McCabe and Stroke
and his lover you had Lisa page his lover these people were looking at me
they wanted an insurance policy just in case I won or Hilary lost and this was
the insurance policy it's a scam there was no collusion whatsoever and
the whole thing is a scam your team is preparing written answers to questions
about not my team I'm preparing written answers Mike I'm the one that does the
answer yes are there writing them out yes yeah they're writing what I tell
them to write are they gonna be submitted at some point very soon yes
I've completed them so you're you are submit wasn't a big deal by the way
wasn't a big deal the answer the questions were asked and answered wasn't
a big deal you know they make it like I had meetings for many many hours I got
the questions I responded we wrote them out I read them once I read him a second
time we made some changes that's it they're very simple but you know why I
did nothing wrong here's my question though you are
submitting written answers to the special counsel about the issue of
collusion but not on obstruction of justice well there was no obstruction to
me if I'm a surgeon I think they probably agree with that your final
position that there's gonna be no sit-down interview and nothing written
or in-person on obstruction I would say probably probably I mean I can change my
mind but probably I think I would've no way I think we've wasted enough time on
this witch hunt and the answer is probably were finished one in a hundred
what honor do its we would I gave very many to say no sir you're right and very
successful actually we gave very very complete answers to a lot of questions
that I shouldn't have even been asked and I think that should solve the
problem I hope itself the problem if it doesn't you know I'll be told and we'll
make a decision that time but probably this is the end
if Congress were to move to either try to cut off any US involvement in the war
in Yemen or to block any arms sales you won't go along well I want to see Yemen
end but it takes two to tango Iran has to end it also and Iran is a different
country than it was when I took over it's far weakened because of what I did
with the Iran so-called Iran deal or an nuclear deal which was one of the great
ripoffs of of all time but I want Sony to stuff but I want to ran to stop also
when Democrats flipped the house back in 2006 and picked up 30 seats
President Bush 43 had a news conference the next day and said we had a thumping
last week in this election the house picked up so far it's 36 seats it may be
on the way to 40 seats and your reaction was that it was almost a complete
victory I won the Senate you don't mentioned that excuse me I won the
Senate I think they said 88 years but this was a this is a historically big
defeat in the house you'd lost 36 maybe 40 seats some would argue that it was a
thumping and I want to talk about some of the ways in which you lost you lost
in traditionally Republican suburbs not only around liberal cities like
Philadelphia and DC but also red state big cities like Houston and Oklahoma
City you lost among suburban women you lost among independents and in three key
states that I think you remember pretty well Wisconsin Pennsylvania Michigan you
lost both the governor's seats and the Senate seats are you ready I won the
Senate and that's historic too because if you look at presidents in the White
House it's almost never happened where you want to see we won we now have 53 as
opposed to 51 and we have 53 great senators in the US Senate
we won that's a tremendous victory nobody talks about that that's a far
greater victory than it is for the other side number two I wasn't on the ballot
well I was you wait would you set you I said look at me I said pretend I'm on
the but I have people and you see the polls how good they are I have people
that won't vote unless I'm on the ballot okay and I wasn't on the ballot and
almost everybody that I went I think they said it was ten out of eleven and I
went against President Obama and Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama in a great
state called Georgia for the governor and it was all stacked against Bryan and
I was the one that went for Brian and Brian one look at Florida I went down to
Florida Rick Scott won and he won by a lot I don't know what happened to all
those votes have disappeared at the very end and if I didn't put a spotlight on
that election before it got down to the 12,500 votes he would have lost that
election okay in my opinion he would have lost they would take in that
election away from him Rick Scott won Florida he'd kept to say excuse me a man
named Ron de Santos is now your governor your new governor of Florida a wonderful
man named DeWine he's your governor of the great state of Ohio remember what
they used to say before my election you cannot win unless you win Ohio I won
Ohio we had a tremendous set of victories you look at the victories but
if you can't carry and you certainly didn't carry it two weeks ago Michigan
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania you're not gonna get reelected I didn't run I
wasn't running my name wasn't on the ballot there are many people that think
I don't like Congress that liked me a lot I get it all the time sir will never
vote unless you're on the ballot I get it all the time people are saying sir I
will never vote unless you're in the ballot I say no no go and vote well what
do you mean as much as I try and convince people to go vote I'm not on
the ballot thank you god bless you and God bless america
