trump | And, unfortunately, the press doesn't even cover it. You know, we have -- we've made some fantastic deals, like with Japan. For farmers, we have a tremendous trade deal with Japan. And that doesn't get covered because you waste your time on nonsense. | speech |
trump | This year, America came to the United Nations stronger than we have ever been before: Since my election, the United States has not only brought our economy to a level that we have never seen, the most jobs that we've ever had -- you know you've heard me say it many times -- African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, the best unemployment numbers we've ever had. And the most and best employment numbers: 160 million -- very close to that number -- in jobs. We've never been anywhere close. | speech |
trump | Right. I agree with that. And we're helping you. | speech |
trump | In a week of active and ambitious diplomacy here at the United Nations, America renewed our friendships. We advanced our values greatly and made clear to everyone that the United States will always defend our citizens to promote prosperity. | speech |
trump | We just won two races that a lot of people -- we thought we were going to lose both of those races. One was down 17 points three weeks before the race, and he ended up winning by a substantial margin -- by a substantial margin. And -- Dan Bishop. | speech |
trump | Together with Prime Minister Lee of Singapore, I signed an important agreement extending our defense cooperation. This hasn't been changed in many years. Then, yesterday, I met with prospective members of the Middle East Strategic Alliance, which is a group that I know very well; I know all of them. And through this effort, the nations of the Middle East are taking more responsibility for securing their own future and their own neighborhood. And they're also reimbursing us and paying us for a lot of the military work that we incredibly do. | speech |
trump | I've had many, many friends of mine come from Venezuela. They live -- many in Miami -- a certain section of Miami, I won't mention the name because they'll say I'm thinking about my business, and I'm not. But they are fantastic people and they like your President. They voted overwhelmingly for me. They like what I'm doing for Venezuela. | speech |
trump | Poland is building us phenomenal new facilities. They're spending everything, and they're going to really do a job. But we'll be moving a few thousand soldiers, and Poland will be paying that for it. | speech |
trump | But I don't like the concept of releasing calls because when a president or prime minister, or a king or a queen, calls the United States, you don't like to say, "Gee, we're going to release your call to the fake-news media, and they're going to make you look like a fool." What happens is, it's hard to do business that way. You want to have people feel comfortable. | speech |
trump | So, we want transparency. We've informed Kevin McCarthy about transparency. And we said, "Vote for it." So I think you'll have close to 100 percent of the Republican votes, I hope. | speech |
trump | Go ahead. Go ahead. | speech |
trump | When Nancy Pelosi allows her position to be taken over by radical far-left socialists, or worse, that's pretty bad. That's pretty bad -- especially when the senators and all of these other people have actually done what they're accusing me of doing, which I didn't do. | speech |
trump | But he actually said, "That was a very innocent call. You can release it all you want." | speech |
trump | We're working with our partners in Central America to ensure that asylum-seekers can pursue relief as close to their home countries as possible. That'll make a tremendous difference at our southern border. | speech |
trump | That's true with many countries. We're going to have much bigger trade deals with a lot of countries that have an opportunity to come. And they all want to do business with the United States, especially now. | speech |
trump | And I guess it's next week that a group is coming in and the week after. So we have a lot of -- we have a lot of talks going on, and also by telephone. | speech |
trump | Yeah. I don't like it. | speech |
trump | Let me just say that we have it under control. We are watching it very carefully. And we're going to be very, very -- | speech |
trump | So maybe we'll take a few -- a few questions. Please. | speech |
trump | And after that person -- namely, me -- won, and convincingly won at 306 to 223 in the Electoral College -- which, by the way, when you run a race, if you're running electoral -- you know, if you go by the College, Electoral College, that's a much different race than running popular vote. And it's like the hundred-yard dash or the mile. You train differently. | speech |
trump | Because I was getting such fake news, and I just thought it would be better. And now they're asking for the first phone conversation, and I'll release that too, if it's important to you. But they're asking for -- because I had a conversation previous -- on a previous election plateau that he had hit. The -- the current president hit a couple of different plateaus. And I spoke to him, previous to the call that we released, which was a very innocent call -- very, very innocent; very nice call. | speech |
trump | And I think that's true, but I handle it. To me, it's like putting on a suit. | speech |
trump | If you're Democrat, you have automatic protection. That's years and years of people putting in certain people into positions. But when you look at all of the -- all of the trauma that these fakers, of course -- and the press -- look, the press is -- much of the press is not only fake, it's corrupt. These stories they write are corrupt; they're so wrong. And they know that. | speech |
trump | And as he said, we were -- "I wasn't pushed. I wasn't pushed," meaning pressured. He wasn't pressured at all. | speech |
trump | We also held very productive conversations with leaders of Pakistan, India. And many other nations are achieving stronger ties of fair and reciprocal trade. And with respect to Pakistan and India, we talked about Kashmir. And whatever help I can be, I said -- I offered, whether it's arbitration or mediation, or whatever it has to be, I'll do whatever I can. Because they're at very serious odds right now, and hopefully that'll get better. | speech |
trump | But he won by many, many points. And he was leading by maybe two, maybe three, but he won by -- in the twenties. So it's -- it's been -- so we're looking great in North Carolina, looking great in Florida. | speech |
trump | We think we'll make this little announcement to you because -- important. You know the so-called whistleblower? The one that didn't have any first-class, or first-rate, or second-tier information, from what I understand. You'll have to figure that out for yourself. But I've spoken with Leader Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans -- many of them -- and we were going to do this anyway, but I've informed them -- all of the House members -- that I fully support transparency on the so-called whistleblower information, even though it was supposedly second-hand information, which is sort of interesting. | speech |
trump | "At no time have I considered resigning my position since assuming this role on August 16, 2019. I have never quit anything in my life, and I am not going to start now. I'm committed to leading the intelligence community to address the diverse and complex threats facing our nation." That's from the Acting Director of National Intelligence, a very good man, Joseph Maguire. | speech |
trump | And then, on the economic front, we had the entire economic team here for all the meetings: Secretary Ross, Larry Kudlow; Ambassador Lighthizer just left to go back to D. C. He's working hard on trying to get USMCA passed. But we had a lot of productive discussions. The Japanese trade deal and a lot of discussions on investing in the U. S., more jobs in the U. S., and more trade. Thank you. | speech |
trump | Yeah. Well, that's what he did, isn't it, really? When you think about it. | speech |
trump | Good. Good. Wow. | speech |
trump | Had my opponent won, we would be second right now because China was catching us so rapidly, we would've been second by this time. And unless somebody does a very poor job as President, we're going to be first for a long way, because we've picked up trillions and trillions of dollars in value and worth of our country, and China has lost trillions and trillions of dollars, and millions of jobs, and their supply chain. And they want to make a deal. | speech |
trump | And it was one of the great countries and one of the richest countries not so long ago -- 15 years ago. It's incredible. | speech |
trump | We have loopholes that are so horrible, and it would be so easy to fix. And they know they should be fixed but they don't want to do because they don't want to give Trump any credit because it's all about the election. That's all they care about. They don't care about our country; they care about the election. | speech |
trump | Yet, you have the Foreign Minister of China saying that they have no intention of, you know, unseating the United States. And yet, they're investing heavily in infrastructure and military. | speech |
trump | We hope that's the. We hope we can get the opportunity to negotiate with them and get an outcome that's good for both of them, for the United States, to make sure that they never have a nuclear weapon and that they can't foment their terror with ballistic missiles and in the way they have all around the world. And I think we made real progress uniting the world on that here over these past few days. Thank you. | speech |
trump | Well, I don't want to say that. But I can tell you that these two men -- and, in this case, more specifically, Steve, we're having some very good conversations. | speech |
trump | We have a tremendous relationship now with a lot of nations that are very happy with what's going on, and that includes in South America, where they've been so helpful, where nobody thought this would be possible. The relationship with Mexico is an example, or El Salvador, or Honduras, or Guatemala. Nobody even knew about it. Yet, we sent them hundreds of millions of dollars, and all we got back was caravans of people pouring in. | speech |
trump | And the wall is going up, many miles a week. And we hope to have over 400, but maybe as much as 500 miles, which we'll pretty much do it because you have a lot of natural barriers; you have mountains, you have really rough rivers. You have some really rough land that you can't cross very easily. So they serve as their natural walls. But we -- we'll have, we think, over 400, but we could even have 500 miles. | speech |
trump | So, with that, we had a tremendous three days. It was beautiful to see. Made a lot of new friends. I read you a list of all the countries I saw pretty much one on one. And it's been very busy, but it's been very, very fruitful. | speech |
trump | This week, we also made incredible strides on national security with President Duda of Poland. We signed a joint declaration advancing defense cooperation. And, crucially, Poland has agreed to put up 100 percent of the money -- something I don't think you've ever heard said before. But they're going to put up 100 percent of the money, of hosting additional U. S. military personnel that we'll be taking from various other countries. We won't have more over; we'll have -- we'll be moving them around. | speech |
trump | Well, I thought we won. I thought it was dead. It was dead. The Mueller report -- no obstruction, no collusion. You look at all of the things that happened. | speech |
trump | And it got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Senators Robert Menendez, Richard Durbin, and Patrick Leahy wrote a letter to Ukraine's Prosecutor General expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were "critical." In the letter, they implied that their support for U. S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake and that if they didn't do the right thing, they wouldn't get any assistance. Gee, doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that sound familiar? | speech |
trump | Well, I think you can look at your senators and you can look at Biden, and you can look at all these other people. But what we're looking for is corruption. An investigation started, called the "Russian witch hunt," affectionately. And it was a total phony scam. It was set up by people within the government to try and stop somebody from getting elected. | speech |
trump | And I was really surprised to hear he was going to quit. Before I could even either talk to him or talk to anybody else, he put out a statement -- I didn't speak to Joe yet -- but he said, "At no time have I considered resigning my position." In other words, the story in the Washington Post was a fake. | speech |
trump | And the sad part is, with all of the tremendous work that we've done this weekend -- whether it's Secretary Mnuchin or Secretary Pompeo, who had some outstanding, outstanding meetings -- with all of this tremendous work that we've done, the press doesn't even cover it. And the Democrats did this hoax during the United Nations week. It was perfect. Because this way, it takes away from these tremendous achievements that we're taking care of doing, that we're involved in in New York City, at the United Nations. | speech |
trump | Oh, I just think it's progressing. I think they want to make a deal. They're losing their supply chain. You know, it's getting killed. | speech |
trump | As part of our efforts, we're leveraging the unique capabilities of S&T's National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center to study the biology of the COVID-19 virus. This center is a high-biocontainment laboratory located in Frederick, Maryland. It was established in the early 2000s, in response to the Amerithrax attacks, and where we study, characterize, analyze, and develop countermeasures for biological threats to the homeland. We work closely with the CDC, FDA, HHS, and also our Department of Defense colleagues and many others. | speech |
trump | But that's different than test, because with a test you can always say, "Oh, we--we need more." No, I think we've done incredibly well with--obviously, with ventilators. We're--we also have 500 million masks--500 million masks that are very shortly going to be here. We've made millions of masks. We have ordered millions of masks that have arrived and been distributed. | speech |
trump | But now we get it from one of the great laboratories of the world. I have to say, it covers a lot more territory than just this. This is--this is probably an easy thing, relatively speaking, for you. | speech |
trump | I think it's a great thing to look at. I mean, you know. Okay? | speech |
trump | I told him very distinctly--I said--Mike was there--I said, "You do what you think is best." But if you ask me, am I happy about it? I'm not happy about it, and I'm not happy about Brian Kemp. | speech |
trump | And we use them in the White House. I think you folks have been given that opportunity, which is much more pleasant than the first way that they looked at you. Right? | speech |
trump | So I can't tell you what's going to happen with the election. I think that had we not gone through a fake Russia, Russia, Russia deal; an impeachment hoax--it was a total hoax. From the day I got elected--but, you know, it wasn't the day; it was many months before I got elected--this has been a witch hunt that was illegal. It was an illegal witch hunt. It was illegal. | speech |
trump | On the subject of testing: At the present moment, we have reports of 4.93 million tests having been performed across America. And encouraging news: As states have been engaging commercial labs at a higher level across the country, yesterday our commercial lab system did more than 100,000 tests in a single day. So we're beginning to activate all of the capacity. | speech |
trump | Say it? In the beginning--what? | speech |
trump | With that, Mr. President, I'd be pleased to call Bill forward. Bill Bryan leads the Science and Technology Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security and now will make a presentation on their recent study. | speech |
trump | Our only conclusion is that we're getting there, America, because the American people have put into practice the President's guidelines of social distancing because you've been listening and adhering to the guidance of state and local officials. We are--we're making--we're making meaningful progress. In a very real sense, sparing Americans to be exposed to the coronavirus and, no less extent, saving lives. | speech |
trump | Well, I'll tell you one thing: I think a lot of people are going to go outside all of a sudden. People that didn't want to go outside, they'll be going. | speech |
trump | Thank you. Thank you very much. | speech |
trump | Again, when I started, we ended up--we--we started with nothing, essentially. What--we started with a broken test, a test that didn't work. We started with a test that did very few people, not millions of people. | speech |
trump | The last two lines are aerosols. What does it do in the air? We have a very unique capability--I was discussing this with the President prior to coming out; he wanted me to convey it to you--on how we do this. I believe we're the only lab in the country that has this capability. | speech |
trump | This was a--to me this is very--really, a very interesting meeting. We covered it in great detail. And these are incredible people at that--we could call it a laboratory, because that's essentially what it is. It's a super laboratory. It's a lot of things going on in that laboratory. | speech |
trump | I'm open. I'm open. | speech |
trump | At a time when many Americans are enduring significant economic challenges, this bill will help small businesses to keep millions of workers on the payroll. You see states are starting to open up now, and it's very exciting to see. I think it's very awe-inspiring. We're coming out of it, and we're coming out of it well. | speech |
trump | And when that--while that comes up, you'll see a number of some practical applications. For example, increasing the temperature and humidity of potentially contaminated indoor spaces appears to reduce the stability of the virus. And extra care may be warranted for dry environments that do not have exposure to solar light. | speech |
trump | No, I don't want to put a timescale because then the--the media, the so-called--so-called "media"--"lamestream" media will say, "He said a time." I don't want to say times, because every time I say a time, if you don't hit it, they'll say--so I don't want to talk about time. | speech |
trump | You know what happened? I said, "You make your own decision." I told him that. I said, "You're not in the guidelines, but I'm letting you make your own decision. But I want people to be safe, and I want the people in Georgia to be safe, and I don't want this thing to flare up because you're deciding to do something that is not in the guidelines." | speech |
trump | To keep America gaining momentum, every citizen needs to maintain the vigilance. And we all understand that very well; we've gone over it many, many times. This includes practicing good hygiene, maintaining social distance, and the voluntary use of face covering. | speech |
trump | As we continue our battle against the virus, the data and facts on the ground suggest that we're making great progress. In 23 states, new cases have declined in the peak--week. Forty percent of American counties have also seen a rapid decline in new cases. Forty-six states reported drop in patients showing coronavirus-like symptoms. That's a big number. | speech |
trump | Governor Kim Reynolds of Iowa launched the Test Iowa Initiative that will triple testing capacity by partnering with Nomi Health and DOMO. She also worked with the University of Iowa Hospitals to leverage further capacity. | speech |
trump | I want to say, though, we have had outbreaks. We've had outbreaks in specific prisons. We've had outbreaks in specific nursing homes. We've had outbreaks in specific plants. And when that happens, that adds two, three hundred, four hundred cases on that single date. | speech |
trump | As we continue to develop potential therapies, the FDA has recently begun a national effort to expand access to convalescent plasma donated from the blood of those who have recovered from the virus. The blood of these donors contains antibodies that can potentially reduce the severity of the illness in those who are sick--and frankly, those that are very sick. Nearly 3,000 patients are now enrolled in the Expanded Access Program, receiving transfusions nationwide. | speech |
trump | I don't want to say. I won't say that. | speech |
trump | He's also--his office referred to this as a--the idea of aiding states as a "blue state" bailout. What do you--what do say to that? Do you agree with that? Or do you agree with Governor Cuomo that that is a vicious attack on these states that have been hit by -- | speech |
trump | And with all of that, I'm doing fine, because the people see we're doing a great job. And you know what? We'll continue to do a great job. | speech |
trump | Go ahead. Please. | speech |
trump | In fact, I'm thinking about moving outside to the Rose Garden. No, it's a very interesting question, actually. | speech |
trump | This is sort of semi-non-porous, right? This, right? | speech |
trump | Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, go ahead. | speech |
trump | And I went to Deborah and Dr. Fauci and other people, and they weren't thrilled about it. And I could have stopped him, but I decided--and we all agreed--they got to watch it closely. So we'll see what happens. | speech |
trump | And our team is already speaking about working on a continuous basis through this summer. Every single day we're increasing testing. Every single day, air bridge flights are coming into the country. There are--I can promise you, at the President's direction, there will be no letting up on--on making sure that our hospitals have the equipment, have the personal protective supplies for medical personnel. | speech |
trump | We must be careful in all conditions, but we will--we will get this done. We're very close to a vaccine. Unfortunately, we're not very close to testing because when the testing starts, it takes a period of time. But we'll get it done. | speech |
trump | Well, let me go. We--we know the rest of the question, right? So I--I know a lot about economists, and the answer is they have no idea. I think I have as good an idea as anybody, and I think our economy will start to pick up very substantially, as soon as the states get open. | speech |
trump | A lot of people understand very well what Mitch is saying, and they also understand the other side of the--the problem. And I'll be speaking about it. We're going to do the right thing for our country. The right thing for our country and the right thing for a lot of great people. Okay? | speech |
trump | Okay. Please, go ahead. In the back. | speech |
trump | So, with that, let me just end where I began, and to say thank you to the American people. The progress that we are seeing is a testament to what all of you have done; to our extraordinary healthcare workers; to a partnership between the federal government and to state and local official. And I'm confident it's also owing to the prayers of millions of Americans each and every day. | speech |
trump | And in that spirit, the President and I will continue to urge states across the country: Given the unique burden on hospitals, we are now encouraging states to restart elective surgeries, wherever possible--either statewide or on a county-by-county basis. We recognize the role elective surgeries play in finances for local hospitals and we'll be working with states to enable that. | speech |
trump | Deborah, have you ever heard of that? The heat and the light, relative to certain viruses, yes, but relative to this virus? | speech |
trump | But, I guess, Deborah, they have many, many studies going on on that. So we'll--we'll be able to learn. | speech |
trump | No, but New York and New Jersey were in a lot of trouble long before the plague came. I mean, they were--you know, they had a lot of problems long before the plague came. I spoke with Governor Cuomo about it, spoke to Governor Murphy about it. I spoke with Gavin Newsom about it. And we--I'm speaking to a lot of people about it, because it's probably going to be the next thing on the list. | speech |
trump | In addition to ramping up our domestic assembly lines, we also have airlifted nearly 750 million pieces of personal protective equipment into the United States through our Project Airbridge, which has been an incredible thing to watch. It's really a military operation. | speech |
trump | So we've done very well. Again, testing--we're doing very well on testing. We've tested far more than anybody else anywhere in the world. And within a short period of time, you'll be hearing about new tests that are coming out that are going to be incredible. | speech |
trump | So I can't tell you about the election. You have a Democrat Party and you have a large portion of the media automatically giving the guy a pass. He's been given a pass. Whether or not he's going to be the nominee, I have no idea, but he's getting a pass. | speech |
trump | Thank you very much. Later this evening, we expect the House to pass the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. I'm grateful that Congress is answering my call to deliver these additional $320 billion in relief for the American worker and for small businesses. | speech |
trump | So let me illustrate with this first slide. If you look to the right, you'll see that term "half-life," with a bunch of timestamps on there. | speech |
trump | Hey, Phil. I'm the President and you're fake news. And you know what I'll say to you? I'll say it very nicely. I know you well. | speech |
trump | So we track, very carefully, not only what the country is doing, but what each state is doing, each county is doing. And we look at delta changes across all of the counties so that we find early warning signals for these types of outbreaks, because we want to--we want the whole country to go down, but we also want to prevent the outbreaks before they occur. | speech |
trump | And that's happening as we speak, and it's actually very exciting, and people are just--just thrilled to see it, because our country has to get back to work. They want to get back to work. You see that, whether it's a demonstration or just in talking to people. They're going to get back to work, and they're going to get back to work very fast. | speech |
trump | Yeah. Sure. | speech |
