Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019

November 8, 2019

The President. I just told them, "I've got to come over and see the fake news." Let's go. What do you have, John [John Roberts, Fox News]?

Impeachment/Transcript of the President's July 25 Telephone Conversation With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine

Q. Mr. President, what do you think of the testimony of the deposition that has been released so far? And are you concerned about public hearings next week?

The President. I'm not concerned about anything. The testimony has all been fine. I mean, for the most part, I've never even heard of these people. I have no idea who they are. They're some very fine people; you have some Never Trumpers. It seems that nobody has any firsthand knowledge. There is no firsthand knowledge. And all that matters is one thing: the transcript. And the transcript is perfect.

Mark Levin, last night, on televisionâwho is a great constitutional lawyerâhe broke it down. He said, "What Trump said"âand he was respectful, he said, "President Trump." "What President Trump said was perfect on the transcript. What he said on that telephone call with the President of Ukraine was perfect." He said: "No otherânothing else matters. And what he said was perfect." And he analyzed it, every line, every paragraph. It was not complex; it was perfect. Nothing else matters.

With that being said, every one of those people cancel themselves out. So what they do is, they go all over Washington, "Let's find the 10 people that hate President Trump the most, and let's put them up there." Now, in some cases, they really turned out to be very much honest and fair. But in no cases have I been hurt. In no cases, that I see, have I been hurt.

Q. Mr. President, what do you say to the millions of people who don't believe you?

Q. On Chinaâsir, on Chinaââ

Intelligence Community Whistleblower/Impeachment/National Economy

Q. And what do you expect for the public hearings next week?

Q. What do you say to the millions who don't believe you?

The President. Well, they shouldn't be having public hearings. This is a hoax. This is just like the Russian witch hunt. This is just a continuation. When you look at the lawyer for the whistleblower, I thought it ended when they found out that the lawyer was so compromised. I mean, the lawyer is a bad guy. So you look at that. I thought that was the end of it. No, this is just a continuation of the hoax. It's a disgraceful thing.

In the meantime, we've got the best markets we've ever hadâstock markets. We have the best unemployment numbers we've ever had. We have the best employment numbers we've ever had. We have almost 160 million peopleâwe've never been even close to that. So we're doing itâbut unfortunately, you people don't want to talk about that.

China-U.S. Trade

Q. Mr. President, on China, sir. On China, can you tell me whether a tariff rollback will be part of the phase one China deal?

The President. Well, they'd like to have a rollback. I haven't agreed to anything. China would like to get somewhat of a rollbackânot a complete rollback, because they know I won't do it.

But we're getting along very well with China. They want to make a deal. Frankly, they want to make a deal a lot more than I do. I'm very happy right now. We're taking in billions of dollars. I'm very happy. China would like to make a deal much more than I would.

Former Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions III

Q. Mr. President, will you endorse Jeff Sessions in his Alabama Senate run?

The President. Well, I haven't gotten involved. I saw he said very nice things about me last night, but we'll have to see. I'll have to see.

Q. Have you forgiven him forââ

The President. I haven't madeââ

Q. âârecusing himself?

The President. I haven't made a determination.

Former Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions III

Q. Have you forgiven him for recusing himself from the Russia investigation?

Q. Have you forgiven him for recusing himself from the Russia investigation?

The President. I don't even think about it.

The President's Telephone Conversations With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine

Q. Mr. President, so what do you say to the millions of people who just don't believe you, that you have something and that your transcript shows that you did something wrong? What do you tell them?

The President. Well, I'll tell you what, it's a very simple thing. I had a very good call with the President of Ukraine. I assume that's what you're talking about. The call was perfect.

Now, they're afterâI have a second call, which nobody knew about, and I guess they want that call to be produced also. You've heard that, John.

So I have a second callâI had a second call with the President, which actually, I believe, came before this one. And now they all want that one. And if they want it, I'll give it to them. I haven't seen it recently, but I'll give it to them.

But I had a call before this one with the President of Ukraine. I understand they'd like it, and I have no problem giving it to them. I have no problem giving it.

Q. Were you lying to them? Were you lying to them?

Corruption Issues in Ukraine/Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr./R. Hunter Biden/Attorney General William P. Barr

Q. Mr. President, on the Bidens, did you ask Bill Barr or anyone in your Department of Justice to investigate the Bidens? And if notâif you didn't ask themâwhy would you ask the President of Ukraine to do something you weren't willing to ask your own Justice Department to do?

The President. We are looking for corruption. We're giving hundreds of millions of dollars, and we're looking for corruption. And all you have to do is take a look at Biden, and you'll see tremendous corruption, because what he did is quid pro quo times 10.

Q. Did you ask your DOJ?

The President. And let me just tell youââ

Q. Did you askââ

The President. Be quiet.

Q. ââyour DOJ?

The President. Quiet.

Q. Did you ask your DOJ?

The President. Quiet.

Q. It's a simple question. Did you askââ

The President. Quiet.

Q. ââyour DOJ?

Q Did you ask your DOJ?

The President. Are you ready?

Q. Yes, sir.

The President. I never spoke to him about anything.

Q. Why not?

The President. It's up to Bill Barr. Bill Barr can do whatever he wants to do. But I saw the same tape on television. And the tape shows that Joe Biden is a crook. He's a hundred-percent crooked. And the fake news, which is you and you, you don't want to do anything about it.

Q. We reported it.

The President. His son walked out with millions of dollars from Ukraine, millions of dollars from China. He doesn't know anything. He walked away with a stash. It's a corrupt deal. It's a corrupt enterprise. And if the press did it right, it's a hell of a story.

Q. But you can ask Bill Barr.

Q. Mr. Presidentââ

China-U.S. Trade

Q. Have you figured out where you're going to sign the phase one trade deal yet? Do you have a location yet?

The President. Well, we're looking at differentâassuming we get it. You know, I never like to talk about things until we have them. But it could be Iowa or farm country or someplace like that. It will be in our country, but it could be someplace like that, John.

Q. Mar-a-Lago?

The President. No, I don't think so. I think we'd go more in the Farm Belt.

The President's Upcoming Travel to Alabama/Alabama Senatorial Campaign

Q. Will you campaign against Jeff Sessions?

The President. No, I won't. I'll see how it all goes. You have some very good candidates.

Look, Alabama is a place where my approval numbers are very good. I think I won by 42 points. I love Alabama. I'm going to go watch a very good football game on Saturday, which is tomorrow, with LSU. And that's going to be great.

We'll see what happens. He's gotâhe's got tough competition. I mean, you haveâthe football coach, Tommy, is doing very well. You have someâyou have some good people running in Alabama. Let's see what happens.

China-U.S. Trade

Q. Do you have a date yetâdo you have date yet, sir, for your meeting with Xi Jinping? Is it definitely going to be this year?

The President. We'll see what happens. I mean, we'll see what happens. We're getting along very well. They want to make the deal far more than I do. I will tell you, they want to make it far more than I do, but we'll see what happens.

We're taking in, right nowâand you knowâas a reporter of finance, you know what I'm saying. They've devalued their currency, and they ate this tariff. We're taking in billions of dollars in tariff money from China. I like our situation very much. They want to make a deal much more than I do, but we could have a deal.

National Economy/News Media

Q. Mr. President, billionaire Leon Cooperman said this week that if you can't change your behavior, you probably shouldn't run again in 2020. What do you say to that, sir?

The President. Well, no, you've really shaped my behavior. Because from the day I came in here, I've had problems with phony stuff, like a phony dossier that turned out to be false, like false investigations that I've beaten. So a lot of my behavior was shaped by the fake news and by the other side. That was a lot of my behavior.

The fact is that we've created the greatest economy in the history of our country. With all of that stuff going on behind me, nobody else could have done it. Rush Limbaugh said he doesn't know a man in the world that could have done what Trump did.

I don't know Leon Cooperman, but whoever Leon Cooperman isâI know of himâhe can have his own view. But, in the meantime, I'm making him rich, and I'm making a lot of other people rich, including the working man and woman. They've never done so well as they've done right now.

Our jobs are the best they've ever been. Everything about our economy is just about the best it's ever been, including unemployment.

So I think, in light of all of the things going onâand you know what I mean by that: the fake news, the Comeys of the world, all of the bad things that went on. It's called the "swamp." And you know what happened, and you know what I did? A big favor. I caught the swamp. I caught them all. Let's see what happens. Nobody else could have done that but me. I caught all of this corruption that was going on, and nobody else could have done it.

On top of that, we have the best economy, greatest economy we've ever had; the best job numbers we've ever had. African American, Asian American, Hispanicâthe best ever. So I think we've done a great job.

And tell Leonâwho I've seen, but I don't knowâtell him congratulations, because he did very well with Trump.

Q. Mr. Presidentââ

Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India/India-U.S. Relations

Q. Sir, how is the trade deal with India going on?

The President. We're dealing with India on a lot of different things. Prime Minister Modi is a very good friend of mine. You saw me atâin Houston. You saw me at the eventâ55,000 people. It was great. And we have a lot of things happening with India. We have a very good relationship with India.

Q. Are you planning to travel to India sometime?

The President. He wants me to go there. I will be going, at some point, to India.

Q. Sir, the people you justââ

Donald J. Trump Foundation

Q. Why did you acknowledge that your charity was using money for your personal and political purposes?

The President. My charity was great. I gave a lot of money away. I was sued because, in New York, it's a hornet's nest, and they sue you for anything. And yet, on a really bad thingâif you look at that Clinton charityâthey left her alone. That's one of the reasons people leave New York.

I gave away $19 million. I took no expense. I took no rent. I took no fees. I took no nothing. A hundred percent of that money was given away, and I had to actually go through a process, for years, with New York. Because you know why? New York is a corrupt State. It's a corrupt State. It's a shame.

I gave $19 million away. And what happened is, instead of saying, "thank you, great," they hit me with a lawsuit. And it was started by a man who had to get out because he beat up women. That's the kind of a place it is.

Q. Mr. Presidentââ

E-Cigarettes Sales Regulations

Q. Have you made a decision on vaping?

The President. We're going to be coming out with a very important position on vaping. We have to take care of our kids, most importantly. So we're going to have an age limit of 21 or so.

But we'll be coming out with something next week, very important, on vaping. We have a lot of people to look at, including jobs, frankly, because, you know, it's become a pretty big industry. But we're going to take care of it.

Now, there's alsoâyou know, when you mention vaping, you're talking about e-cigarettes, you're talking about a lot of different things. But we're coming out with a big paper next week.

Q. Mr. Presidentââ

Q. [Inaudible]âMichael Bloombergââ

Q. [Inaudible]âpeople that work for you?

E-Cigarettes Sales Regulations

Q. Does that mean that you may dial back on this idea of banning flavors and instead raise the age?

The President. We're talking about the age. We're talking about flavors. We're also talking about keeping people working. And you know, there are some pretty good aspects. But we're coming out, and we're very close to a final report, John, and we'll be giving it next week.

Q. Because the industry does support raising the age, but they don't like the banning of the flavors.

The President. Yes, we're going to be raising the age. We will be doing that.

Intelligence Community Whistleblower/The President's Telephone Conversations With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine

Q. And can I just come back toâdid the first transcript of the call with Zelensky from April 21âit's my understanding that the White House Counsel isn't particularly keen to release that. Will you overrule him?

The President. Theâwell, they don't want to give all this information on a scam. It's a witch hunt. I'm okay with releasing it; Iâit doesn't bother me. I know what I said. It was fine.

But no, they do want to have the second call, which is really the first call, the one before this. I had a call. I'm sure it was fine. I mean, you know, I have toâI make a lot of calls. But I have no problem releasing it. I'm very transparent.

Q. So why not just release it?

The President. Nobody is more transparent than I am. And if I wasn't, and if I didn't release it, it would've been a problem. Because the fake whistleblower said something about the callâ many things that were wrong.

When the whistleblower came forward, he talked about this horrible call. It turned out to be a perfect call. Iâas I say, Mark Levin said this was a perfect call. So they lied. They lied. The whole thing is a scam. This is scam by the Democrats to try and win an election.

Now they wantââ

Q. Mr. Presidentââ

The President. Now they want my first call. I have no problem giving it to them, other than, I don't like giving calls to the media when I'm dealing with foreign nations. But I will give it if they want it.

Q. Mr. Presidentââ

U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon D. Sondland/The President's Telephone Conversations With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine

Q. One more point: Gordon Sondland said that atâGordon Sondland said, at the beginning of September, he presumed there was a quid pro quo. Then, there was a telephone call to you on September the 9th. Had he ever talked to you prior to that telephone call about what you wanted in Ukraine?

The President. Let me just tell you, I hardly know the gentleman. But this is the man who said there was no quid pro quo, and he still says thatââ

Q. He said that he presumed there was.

The President. ââand he says that I said that. And he hasn't changed that testimony.

So this is a man that said, as far as the President is concerned, there was no quid pro quo. Everybody that has testifiedâeven the ones that are Trump hatersâthey've all been fine. They don't have anything.

But now they want the first call with the President of Ukraine. If they want it, I'll probably give it to them. But they really want it badly. If they want it, I will probably give it to them.

I don't like doing it because it sets a bad precedent, John. Because every time President Xi calls or somebody calls from China, if I speak to Kim Jong Unâare they worried about me giving the call? But in this case, because the press has been duped into a hoaxâand, in some cases, they've really started the hoaxâI will give the letter if they want it.

Q. Mr. Presidentââ

The President. But I do say this about that call: I think that's a very revealing call.

Q. Why do you careââ

Russia-U.S. Relations

Q. Mr. President, you've been invited to Russia for the May Day parade. The Russians are eagerly awaitingâare you going?

The President. That's right. I was invited. I am thinking about it. It's right in the middle of our campaign season. But I am thinkingâI would certainly think about it. President Putin invited me to theââ

Q. May Day parade.

The President. That's a very bigâit's a very big dealâcelebrating the end of the war, et cetera, et cetera. It's a very big deal. So I appreciate the invitation.

It is right in the middle of political season, so I'll see if I can do it. But I would love to go if I could.

Attorney General William P. Barr/News Media/Transcript of the Presidentâs July 25th Telephone Conversation With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine

Q. Bill Barr and the DOJ are not denying that you asked him to have a press conference to say thatââ

The President. Well, they're not saying anything. Let me tell you: I never askedââ

Q. [Inaudible]

The President. Listen. I never asked him for a press conference. It's fake news by the Washington Post, which is a fake newspaper. It's fake. It's made up.

And if I ask Bill Barr to have a press conference, I think he'd do it. But I never asked him to have a press conference. Why should I? You know why I wouldn't do it? Because the phone call was perfect. Just read the transcript of the phone call. Nobody has to have a press conference.

I think if I asked him, and weâby the way, we confirmed. I never asked him. I think if I did ask himâI haven't said this yet, and I don't think I will; I'm sure I won't. But if I asked him to have a press conference, I think he would.

With that being said, it's fake news. They wrote a fake story. We've told them that before they wrote the story. But today, when you tell the press something, it's meaningless, because they write whateverâit's all fiction. And I'll tell you, they don't have sources. You know what they do? They make it up. Not everybodyânot John, not everybody. [*Laughter*] But they make it up.

Q. Mr. President, phone callâ[inaudible]ââ

The President. [Inaudible]

The President's Telephone Conversations With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine/Vice President Michael R. Pence

Q. Are you going to release the Penceâare you going to release the Pence transcript?

The President. What?

Q. You say, "Read the transcript." Are you going to release the Pence transcript as well, sir?

The President. What they want is, they want my first phone call. I had another phone call, and it's a very important phone call. And it came to my attention last night that they want the first phone call.

Now, the problem I have in releasing the first phone callâbecause that was actually the second phone call. And it'sââ

Q. The one we saw is the second phone call?

The President. Yes. And it's a perfect call. But they found out there's another phone call.

And that's the first phone call. And they want it released, and we're considering that.

Q. How about the Pence phone calls?

The President. Which one?

Q. The Mike Pence phone calls.

The President. That I don't know. I don't know about any calls. I mean, I wouldâI have no problem. It's up to Mike, but I have no problem.

Impeachment/The President's Popularity/Intelligence Community Whistleblower/The President's July 25 Telephone Conversation With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine

Q. Mr. President, you keep calling this a "coup" rather than anâyou're calling this a "coup" rather than an impeachment. So if it's a coupââ

The President. Well, you know what it is, really? It's a crooked deal. This is like the fake dossier. This is like everything else.

These are crooked people. They lost an election, and they lost it big. It was really a landslide, from the electoral college standpoint. And they lost it big, and they still haven't recovered. And they're going to lose again. And what they're trying to do is weaken me, but it's actually made me stronger.

And interestingly, if you look at the polls that just came out, my polls are up, the fundraising is through the roof. It's never been this high. We just set fundraisingâbecause people are angry about it. And it's made Republicans and people that vote for meânot just Republicansâreally angry. They've really become angry, because it's a hoax.

And I'll tell you, the whistleblowerâI call him the "fake whistleblower." He gave a fake report of my phone call. And when I did itâall of a sudden, when I released that call, all of a sudden, everybody disappeared. The whistleblower disappeared.

What ever happened to the second whistleblower? Why isn't the first whistleblower going to testify anymore? You know why? Because everything he wrote in that report, almost, was a lie.

Because he made a phony phone call. My phone call was perfect. He made it sound bad. That's why I had to release.

Now theyâso the whistleblower is a disgrace to our country. A disgrace. And the whistleblower, because of that, should be revealed. And his lawyerâwho said the worst things possible, 2 years agoâhe should be sued, and maybe for treason. Maybe for treason. But he should be sued. His lawyer is a disgrace. A disgrace.

And then, ask him this: Where is the second whistleblower? Right? Where is the witness that gave the whistleblower the information? They all disappeared because Adam Schiff is a corrupt politician. He's corrupt. He made up a speech, and he put my voice in it. He made up a speech. It had nothing to do with what I said. Adam Schiff is a corrupt politician that's not giving us due process, not giving us lawyers. And despite all that, we're kicking their ass.

Q. You said that you wouldn't issue tariffsââ

Impeachment/The President's Popularity/San Francisco, California

Q. Mr. President, why do Bill Taylor and Alexander Vindman still work for you?

The President. Every one of those people testified absolutely fine for me. They've gone out, and they've gone out of their way to find the people that hate Donald TrumpâPresident Trumpâ the most. They put them up there; everybody has been absolutely fine.

And they haveâyou know, I don't even know most of these people. Many of these people, I've never even heard of. So what Crooked Schiff is doingâhe's a corrupt politician. What this corrupt politician does is, he looks all over, tries to find people that don't like Trump, and he puts them up.

We are winning so big. My polls are the highest they've ever been. I'm leading in all of the Statesâevery swing State. The fundraising numbers just came in; they're the highest, I think, in history. I don't think anybody's ever hadâand I'll tell you what, we are winning so big because we're going along.

These are corrupt politicians, and that includes Nancy Pelosi. She's a corrupt politician. She should go back to her district, which is horrible. It's filthy. It's drug-infested. Their stuff is being flown out to the ocean. It's being wiped out to the ocean through their drainage system. Youâve got to see what happening in San Francisco. Nancy Pelosi ought to focus on her district.

But these are corrupt politicians.

Q. Are you worried about Bloomberg?

The President's Support Among African Americans

Q. What's your message to Black voters? What's your message to Black voters? You're going to Atlanta. What is your message to Black voters?

The President. We're going to Atlanta. We have a, as you call it, Black vote. But this is reallyâwe're doing very well with African American. I think a big factor is the fact that they're having the best economic year they've ever had in the history of our country.

And we're going there. We've been invited. And it's going to beâI think it's going to be fantastic.

Q. Are you worried about Bloomberg?

Former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York City

Q. What's your reaction to Bloomberg entering the race?

Q. Are you worried about Bloomberg? Can you beat Michael Bloomberg? He's a real billionaire.

The President. I've known Michael Bloomberg for a long time. If you go back early on, he hadâhe said a lot of great things about Trump. But I know Michael. He became just a nothing. He was really a nothing. He's not going to do well, but I think he's going to hurt Biden, actually. But he doesn't have the magic to do well.

Little Michael will fail. He'll spend a lot of money. He's got some really big issues, he's got some personal problems, and he's got a lot of other problems.

But I know Michael Bloomberg fairly wellânot too well, fairly wellâwell enough. He will not do very well. And if he did, I'd be happy. There is nobody I'd rather run against than Little Michael, that I can tell you.

Impeachment/The President's July 25 Telephone Conversation With President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine/The President's Popularity

Q. The Democrats say that by keeping White House officials from going up to give deposition, that's evidence that the White House is obstructing and could lead to an article of impeachment on obstruction.

The President. Well, they're making it up. First of all, this whole thing is a phony deal. It's a phony setup. When you look at the lawyer that got it startedâthe whistleblower lawyer, he got it started. It's a phony deal. These Democrats are corrupt. Nancy Pelosi is a corrupt politician.

Shifty Schiff is a double corrupt politician. He took my words on the phone callâand they were so good. He totally changed them. He went before Congress. He made his speech before Congress. And in the speech, John, he said things that were horrible. It bore no relationship to the call. And then, later on, he was embarrassed.

Let me tell you something: Schiff is a corrupt politician, and our people know it. And they know it too, by the way.

Just so you know, we have the highest poll numbers. We have the most energy. I was with Mitch McConnell and a whole group of people last night, and I was withâactually, I was with leaders of faith and evangelical leaders. They said they have neverâall of themâthey have never had the energy that we've had and we have now in the Republican Party and beyond the Republican Partyâpeople that were Democrats, and they're for Trump. And we've never had the poll numbers either.

Impeachment Inquiry Witnesses

Q. But canâcan you explainâcan you explain, just so that people understand, why you are not allowing people like Mick Mulvaney and others to comply with subpoenas?

The President. Because I don't want to give credibility to a corrupt witch hunt. I'd love to have Mick go up, frankly. I think he'd do great. I'd love to have him go up. I'd love to have almost every person go up, when they know me.

What I don't like is when they put all these people that I never met beforeâwhen they put the head of the Never Trumpers on the stand. And even those people were okay. They were fine. Those are the people. People I never even heard of. The people that I know, I would love to have them go up.

Now, the rest is up to the lawyers. I have to do what the lawyers say, to a certain extent. Not always, but you know, to a certain extent.

The President. Was it about privilege?

The President. Butâbut I will tell you, I like to have the people go up. Except one thing: It validates a corrupt investigation. Adam Schiffâhe's a corrupt politician. He's as corrupt as you'll ever seeâwhen he makes up my words, and reads fake words to Congress, and he acts so innocent. He's a corrupt politician.

Okay. Thank you.
