Out of town pool report #5 - wheels down

Air Force One was wheels down in Palm Beach at 1:38 p.m.

Flight was smooth and bright. Fox News was on the TVs.

Sorry otter didn’t send earlier. WiFi was cut off in air.

Here are quotes as promised:

On Asia trip:

“We took in approximately $3 trillion over the last few days from the trips that we made. They were unbelievable. The deal with China is going to be wonderful. It's going to be long lasting. I got really along with President Xi very well.”

He said the farmers are “very happy.”

“We have numbers coming to our farmers that the farmers have never seen before, from China, our farmers are very happy.”

He said he has given China “great incentives to hold down the fentanyl, to get rid of it.”

He said the meetings with China, Japan and South Korea were all “incredible.”

“All of them and trillions of dollars are coming back to our country because of those meetings, and we have others planned with other countries, but those are big ones.”

On Venezuela strikes:

When asked if he reports were true that he was considering strikes within Venezuela, he said “no.”

On nuclear testing:

He said “you’ll find out very soon” when asked if nuclear testing means resuming underground nuclear detonation tests.

“Other countries do it. If they’re going to do it, we’re going to do it.”

On Orban asking for exemption on oil sanctions:

“He has asked for an exemption. We haven’t granted one. He’s a friend of mine.”

On Canada negotiations:

Asked if he would resume negotiations he said, “no, but I have a very good relationship. I like [carney] a lot.”

“But you know, what they did was wrong. He was very nice. He apologized for what they did with the commercial, because it was a false commercial.”

On SNAP benefits:

“All the Democrats have to do is say, ‘let’s go.’”

“And you know, largely, when you talk about SNAP, you're talking about largely Democrats, but I'm president, I want to help everybody, I want to help Democrats and the Republicans. But when you’re talking about SNAP, if you look it’s largely Democrats, they’re hurting their own people.”
