Wheels were up at JBA at 10:53 a.m. and down at CLT at 11:49 a.m.
From the gaggle:
POTUS started talking about new GDP numbers.
“GDP came out at a much higher number than any projections.”
“Almost double some projections. So we're doing great. The country is doing unbelievably well.”
On Alaska:
“The Alaska situation is terrible. What Peltola has done, and what , and the Democrat Party have done was a scheme. It's election fraud, total election fraud at the highest level, criminal level. Nobody's ever seen anything like this.”
On Murkowski Democratic endorsement:
“Well, that's her problem. But she, I notice that she also agrees that what they did here was a very bad thing.”
“She endorsed somebody that I think she shouldn’t have endorsed, but that's her.”
On California election case:
“California is very corrupt. The elections are extremely corrupt.”
“The judge should not have done that, but we’ll appeal that, of course.”
On seating Mary Peltola:
“Well, you're going to have to see what happens. It's hard to believe that she’d even be allowed to run. Frankly, I don't know how you can allow somebody like that to run. It's so unfair.”
On what is an honest election:
“If they don't correct this, it would be certainly a dishonest election.”
On Lula being the president of Brazil:
“I'll talk to him. I think the election was a disgrace in Brazil.”
On Arab voters:
“I do very well with the Arab vote. If you, in fact, if you look at, I won Michigan by a lot, and I won the Arab vote.”
On Pete Hegseth:
“I think it's terrible. All they do is they talk about impeaching everybody.”
“He's doing a great job. He's a great warrior.”
On the Pentagon leak:
“She's got problems.”
“We're very much looking for leakers, and she's gonna have big problems.”
On young voters:
“I think I'm performing well.”
On SC:
“In honor of Lindsay Graham. I'd like to see his sister win. She's very talented, very smart. She loved her brother. Her brother was a great guy. He loved South Carolina. He was a great politician.”
