“the words from your lips…”

Reporter: Are you going to pull more troops out of Europe?

Trump: I haven’t made that final determination. A lot is going to depend on Greenland. We’re going to make a very good deal on Greenland and if we don’t, maybe I will. pic.twitter.com/wUZOwhyxc0

Trump: I had issues with Spain. And I still do. But they came back all the way today. Spain was very generous today. I told them I’m going to stop trading.

Reporter: What did Spain do?

Trump: They honored a request for lots of payments. pic.twitter.com/G3amKDGq3P

Somebody explained to Trump he couldn’t afford to stop trading with Spain. They didn’t tell him he had no authority to do that, they just explained that businesses in America would object. The businesses Trump listens to. Because that’s all he would ever listen to.

Trump: We just hit him very hard. Every time they hit us we're going to hit them 20.

Q: Are we returning to a full-scale military conflict, sir?

Trump: I don't know. We have many ways we can win, but we've already won militarily pic.twitter.com/3K8G1fOl10

The war is over but we must continue it. 😵‍💫

Trump: Iran just called. They want to make a deal very badly.

Reporter: If they want to make a deal, why did they attack commercial vessels?

Trump: Because… they’re sort of crazy. But they want to make a deal badly. pic.twitter.com/BG34Fu3y8Q

Less than 24 hours ago Trump said— “I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them any more, they’re scum.” https://t.co/Dv4sBy6mbk

Absolutely zero self awareness. But his sympathies are with the accused molester.

Inadvertently confirming a story Haberman and Swan tell about interviewing Trump, and all he wanted to do was talk about the maple trees he wanted to plant.

The foreign press has more guts than the US press when it comes to asking Trump real questions that aren’t ridiculous softballs. https://t.co/oWVJV7LzwX

But they still elicit the same bullshit answers.

*Trump doesn’t have the authority to do either of these things.
