In town pool report #6: Q&A

Trump took questions for about 16 minutes.

Trump was asked about what sports meant to him.

“I think what this council is doing is going to be very important.”

Asked about the ballroom.

“We’ve been planning it a long time…but there’s never been a president who was good at ballrooms.”

“They’ve always wanted to have it. In the first term I said if I get another shot at this I’m going to do a ballroom.”

Asked about Virginia Giuffre-

Said he didn’t know why Jeffrey Epstein was taking young workers.

“We threw him out... I didn’t like that he was doing it.”

On Canada:

Said he hadn’t spoken to PM Carney today. Said he didn’t like the comments about recognizing a Palestinian state but said it wasn’t necessarily a dealbreaker.

On Iran:

“Iran has been acting very badly.”

Touted strikes on nuclear sites.

“Iran has not been saying the right thing.”

Asked about Powell, he called the Fed chairman “terrible” and a “political hack.”

On Kamala Harris’s political future:

“She can’t talk. She can’t do an interview. I thought it was a very strange campaign we had… I wouldn’t call her a skilled politician.”

Russia: “I think it’s disgusting what they’re doing.”

Asked if he agreed with Rep. Greene calling what’s happening in Gaza a “genocide,” Trump said it’s “terrible what’s happening.”

POTUS wrapped up at 4:55 p.m. and exited the room.
