On his message to parents ahead of back to school season:

"We've gotten rid of the woke. Woke is gone, and I think pretty well buried...the parents are now taking over the school boards. They are getting rid of these people that probably didn't like the children very much based on what they were doing."

He then talked a bit about trade negotiations, saying he was "dealing with a lot" of "leaders of other countries" today "on the tariff situation.
