Speaker Time Text
donald j trump
Tristan said the thing that you carry the babies around in, but that's something we present.
Energy's down, gasoline's down.
Nobody's ever seen that thing far ahead of schedule.
So people that were paying a lot for groceries, they're paying a lot less.
And interest rates are even down.
You know, we have a very stubborn Fed, but I mean, Fed should lower, but that's okay.
But interest rates are down.
Mortgage rates are down.
And pretty amazing.
So we've done, I think, I don't think there's ever been a better opening hundred days.
We have a lot of fake polls where they interview Democrats, not Republicans, but meeting more Democrats.
I had a pollster that said to me, a legitimate poster John Red Lock on the top person.
He said he's never seen polls that were so fake before, where they overweight the Democrats.
And I only bring that up because I think it's something that should be said.
It's a shame how dishonest the media is.
unidentified
The media is corrupt and they're dishonest, and it's so bad for our country.
donald j trump
Thank you very much, everybody.
unidentified
Once President Trump arrived at the White House, he answered reporters' questions on several topics, including immigration and cryptocurrency.
donald j trump
I saw a friendly face over here.
But we gave some information on the plane.
I think we covered everything carefully and in great detail.
You probably have seen it.
Have you seen the information from the plane?
unidentified
Where did you get the idea for reopening Alcatraz?
donald j trump
Just an idea I've had, and I guess because the judges, so many of these radicalized judges, they want to have trials for every single thing of it.
Every single person that's in our country illegally, they came in illegally, that would mean millions of trials, and it's just so ridiculous what's happening.
And it's long been a symbol, Alcatraz, of whatever it is.
I mean, you know, it's a sad symbol, but it's a symbol of law and order.
And, you know, it's got quite a history, frankly.
So I think we're going to do that, and we're looking at it right now.
unidentified
The movie tariffs.
Yeah.
donald j trump
The movie tariffs, what they've done is other nations have been stealing the movies, the movie-making capabilities from the United States.
And I said to a couple of people, what do you think?
I've done some very strong research over the last week.
And we're making very few movies now.
Hollywood is being destroyed.
Now, you have an incompetent, grossly incompetent governor that allowed that to happen.
So I'm not just blaming other nations, but other nations, a lot of them, have stolen our movie industry.
And I'm saying if they're not willing to make a movie inside the United States, then we should have a tariff on movies that come in.
And not only that, governments are actually giving big money.
I mean, they're supporting them financially.
So that's sort of a threat to our country, in a sense.
And it's been a very popular thing.
I can tell you movie makers love it.
unidentified
Mr. President, Mr. President, there's an election in Australia and why do you bring that up with Canada?
Will you bring that up with Canada tomorrow?
donald j trump
Well, Canada's only one of many countries.
unidentified
It's one of many countries that takes the bulk of them.
Are we going to leave it in?
What do you mean with losing in Saudi Arabia when you go?
donald j trump
I don't know.
We haven't thought about it.
But we'll be leaving for Saudi Arabia pretty soon.
I have not thought about it.
We've had some good conversations on Russia and Ukraine over the weekend, over the last few days, actually, but we've had some very good conversations on Russia and Ukraine.
There's a lot of hatred there, I will tell you, between the two parties and between even the generals.
I mean, there's a tremendous amount of hatred, but we've had some very good discussions over the last few years.
unidentified
The Australian election of key Senate Democrats have withdrawn support for crypto bills in part because they say that you and your family should not be involved in crypto companies while in office.
And now the bills may not pass and have a support.
What would you say to them?
donald j trump
Well, I haven't heard that, but I'm a big fan of crypto because I want to keep it away from China.
Crypto is a whole new thing that started, you know, not so long ago.
But I'm very much in favor of crypto, Bitcoin, all of the different things, because otherwise China's going to take it over.
And just like AI, just like so many other industries or whatever you want to call them, crypto is very important, I think, for our country.
unidentified
Would you make australian elections?
donald j trump
The Australian election.
unidentified
The conservative did very badly, just like in Canada.
They're saying if the Trump is acting again, he's having to get away from the United States.
donald j trump
In Australia, there was an election this way called.
Well, I don't know.
Albanese, I'm very friendly with.
I don't know anything about the election other than he just won again.
He was very elected.
The man that won is very, he's very good.
unidentified
He was a friend of your cast, but not the act of a friend.
We're speaking to him now, congratulating him on his win.
donald j trump
Well, I can only say that he's been very, very nice to me, very respectful to me.
I have no idea who the other person is that ran against him.
And, you know, we've had a very good relationship.
unidentified
There's been touch to the World Trade Center health program and questions about the restoration of the director.
Are you aware of the World Trade Center health program that helps 9-11 first responders?
And activists in the United States.
donald j trump
Well, I was the one in my first term that helped them get money and helped them really live a much better life.
That was a very important thing I did in my first term, but I'm not aware of anything that may have been run out recently.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
