On Cuba, Trump says "I do believe I'll have the honor of taking Cuba." When pressed, he declines to say whether that would be a diplomatic or military move, saying only "I think I can do anything I want with it" in light of the island's current state and historic governance.
During an extended answer about voter laws, President Trump turned his attention to California and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
"Gavin Newsom has admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia. Honestly, I'm all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president," Trump said.
Best,
