Trump continues answering questions&

Trump on cutting social security/medicare:

“I have said it so many times you shouldn’t ask me that question& we’re not going to touch. We’re going to look for fraud.”

Trump on executive power and giving orders to cabinet members:

“They’ll follow the orders. No exceptions.”

Howard Lutnick on tariff pause:

For Fentayl related tariffs, “at the end of 30 days they have and satisfy him” that they’ve made progress.

Trump immediately adds:

“I’m going to be hard to convince.”

“Without us Canada can’t make it.”

“The tariffs will make it impossible for them to sell cars. It will make it impossible for them to sell lumber.

Trump on EU tariffs:

“We have made a decision and we’ll be announcing it very soon. It’ll be 25 percent. & they’ve taken advantage of us in a different way.”

“The European Union was formed to screw the United States.”

Trump on CBS 60minutes case:

“CBS did something amazing. Kamala was not able to answer a question probably and they took the question and inserted an answer& nobody has ever heard of anything like this before.”

“We are in discussion of settlement.”

“It probably did affect the election.”

Trump then adds he wants paper ballets and less early voting.
