President Trump Impromptu Presser En Route To California
Posted on 3/13/18 at 1:34 pm
Posted on 3/13/18 at 1:34 pm
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I’ve worked with Mike Pompeo now for quite some time. Tremendous energy, tremendous intellect. We’re always on the same wavelength. The relationship has been very good. That’s what I need as secretary of state.
I wish Rex Tillerson well. Gina, by the way, who I know very well who I worked very closely, will be the first woman director of the C.I.A. She is an outstanding person who also I have gotten to know very well. So I’ve gotten to know a lot of people very well over the last year and I’m really at a point where we’re getting very close to having the cabinet and other things that I want.
But I think Mike Pompeo will be a truly great secretary of state. I have total confidence in him. And as far as Rex Tillerson is concerned, I very much appreciate his commitment and his service and I wish him well. He’s a good man.
REPORTER: Mr. President, Mr. President — what did you say to Rex Tillerson?
MR. TRUMP: Rex and I have been talking about this for a long time. We got along actually quite well. But we disagreed on things. When you look at the Iran deal. I think it’s terrible. I guess he — it was O.K. I wanted to either break it or do something. And he felt a little bit differently.
So we were not really thinking the same. With Mike, Mike Pompeo, we have a very similar thought process. I think it’s going to go very well. Rex is a very good man. I like Rex a lot. I really appreciate his commitment and his service. And I’ll be speaking to Rex over a long period of time.
REPORTER: (inaudible)
MR. TRUMP: I can’t hear you.
REPORTER: (inaudible on camera)
MR. TRUMP: No, I really didn’t discuss it very much with him honestly. I made that decision by myself. Rex wasn’t, as you know, in this country. I made the North Korea decision with consultation from many people but I made that decision by myself. I actually got along well with Rex. But really it was a different mind-set. It was a different thinking.
REPORTER: Did you fire him because he called you a moron?
MR. TRUMP: What?
REPORTER: Did you fire him because he called you a moron?
MR. TRUMP: Say it again.
REPORTER: (inaudible) Why now?
MR. TRUMP: I respect his intellect. I respect the process that we’ve all gone through together. We have a very good relationship. For whatever reason, chemistry, whatever it is. Why do people get along? I’ve always right from the beginning from day one, I’ve gotten along well with Mike Pompeo.
And frankly I get along well with Rex, too. And, you know, I wish Rex a lot of good things. I think he’s going to do — I think he’s going to be very happy. I think Rex will be much happier now. But I really appreciate his service.
But with Mike, we’ve had a very good chemistry right from the beginning.
REPORTER: (inaudible)
MR. TRUMP: Well, it sounds to me. I’m speaking to Theresa May today. It sounds to me like it would be Russia based on all of the evidence they have. I don’t know if they’ve come to a conclusion. But she’s calling me today.
As you know, now we’re going to the wall. We’re going out to the wall. We’re going to be looking at the prototypes, which is very important for our country. But Theresa May is going to be speaking to me today. It sounds to me like they believe it was Russia, and I would certainly take that finding as fact.
REPORTER: Mr. President, do you believe there should be a response from the United States?
MR. TRUMP: As soon as we get the facts straight. And we’re going to be speaking with the British today. We’re speaking with Theresa May today. As soon as we get the facts straight, if we agree with them, we will condemn Russia or whoever it may be. But I have not spoken to her. I’ll speak to her some time today.
REPORTER: (inaudible)
MR. TRUMP: We’re very happy with the decision by the House Intelligence Committee saying there was absolutely no collusion with respect to Russia. And it was a very powerful decision, a very strong decision.
Backed up — I understand they’re going to be releasing hundreds of pages of proof and evidence. But we are very, very happy with that decision. It was a powerful decision that left no doubt. So I want to thank the House Intelligence Committee and all of the people that voted so strongly.
REPORTER: (inaudible)
MR. TRUMP: I’m looking at Larry Kudlow very strongly. I’ve known him a long time. We don’t agree on everything. But in this case I think that’s good. I want to have a divergent opinion. We agree on most. He now has come around to believing in tariffs as also a negotiating point.
You know I’m renegotiating trade deals. And without tariffs, we wouldn’t do nearly as well. But Larry has been a friend of mine for a long time. He backed me very early in the campaign. I think the earliest. I think he was one of my original backers. He’s a very, very talented man. A good man.
And I think Larry Kudlow has a good chance. I’m also speaking to many others, but I think Larry has a very good chance. Thank you, all. I’ll see you — I’ll see you at the wall. I’ll see you at the wall.

That's a pretty bad-arse photo with the Marine, Marine One, and the Washington Monument in the background.
Oh, and with Donald J. Trump as President of the United States.

ftr, i dont, because yes, May has absolutely 100 percent come to this conclusion, she couldn't have made that any more clear short of putting on a play.

They've been predicting that shite was gonna happen like immediately.........or 7-8 months.
Woo hoo. They're genius prognosticators.

I would think it would be most appropriate for a President to actually SPEAK with the British leader first.
Sheesh

Really off topic but have always wondered...
Does Marine 1 become Air Force 1 once it’s off the ground with the President?

Trump just confirmed that he’s got no problem impugning Russia by condemning them if they are found responsible for the UK attack.
Same thing Tillerson said yesterday, right?
And yet you retards are still running around this place claiming Trump fired Tillerson for saying the same fricking thing Trump just said.
So how do you explain it now, dumbass?
Why would Trump fire Tillerson for disparaging Russia... and then say the same fricking disparaging remarks about Russia the next day himself?
Or maybe it’s time you admit you’re suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and search for shite to throw at the fan every chance you get.

They’ve been saying this for 11 months you dolt.
So if you repeat something long enough it eventually happens. You know the broken clock analogy

Here is some real right wing "fake news"
I heard on an interview on the dreaded "infowars" *dreadful music* bum bum bum buuuuuuuuummmmm with the equally dreadful and "fake" Rodger stone! He has been saying that tillerson would be out the door for some time now. So today is no surprise to me, and seems to have been apart of the plan for a while. As Trump stated.

No. Marine One is always Marine One. The callsign is any helicopter carrying the president. Typically it is a helicopter operated by Marine Corps Helicopter Squadron One, either a white top Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King or VH-60N White Hawk.
Air Force One is reserved for a fixed wing aircraft carrying the president.

Maybe not geniuses, but certainly not fake news! Trump flatly denied any tension between he and Tillerson a few months ago on Twitter. Then today he said that they had been disagreeing for a while. Two different narratives, no?

You could say Trump is on his way out and you be right...
...in six years.
The NYT's said Rex was out 5 months ago. A lot has changed since then.

Well, if you predict it every single day eventually you will be right, even a dumbass like you can figure that out...

Why do you think it would change off the ground? It's a Marine helicopter. Air Force 1 is an Air Force jet.

This is a complete non-sequitur and red herring.
What a dishonest frick you are.
Also, he is improving the (NICS) background check system, banning bump-stocks, raising the age limit for AR's to 21, and allowing teachers to get special training and certification for carrying in schools.
That's called enacting "real gun control" by definition.
Obviously not your retarded fricking definition, however.
You're a deranged imbecile consumed by butthurt and hate. It's great knowing Trump has destroyed you. LOL
