White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out-of-town pool report #2 - Wheels down/Gaggle/Obama post comments
Wheels were up at 7:12 p.m. and down at 8:59 p.m.
POTUS came back to the press cabin at 7:26 p.m. and gaggled for almost 18 minutes.
Here is a rough transcript:
https://otter.ai/u/LCRnI-eveouy5vG0G53aBPkWXio
On the Obama post and whether someone would be fired over it (didn't directly answer on the firing):
"I looked at it. I saw it and I just looked at the first part. It was about voter fraud in some place. Georgia."
"I didn't see the whole thing. I guess during the end of it there was some kind of a picture that people don't like. I wouldn't like it either."
"Then I gave it to the people. Generally they look at the whole thing, but I guess somebody didn't and they posted it and we took it down."
"We took it down as soon as we found out."
On whether he should apologize:
"No, I didn't make a mistake."
"I look at a lot of, thousands of things. I looked at the beginning of it, it was fine."
"If you look at where it came from, I guess it was a take off of the Lion King."
"Certainly it was a very strong post in terms of voter fraud, nobody knew that was in the end. If they would have looked, they would have seen it and probably they would have had the sense to take it down."
"I spoke to Tim Scott. He was great. Tim is a great guy. He understood that 100%."
On him not knowing what is staff is doing:
"I know what's going on."
On whether it undermines him with minority voters:
"Black voters have been great to me. I've been great to them."
"I am, by the way, the least racist president you've had in a long time."
"I liked the beginning, I saw it, and just passed it on."
"I didn't do it by the way, this was done by someone else, it was a re-Truth."
On whether he condemns the racist parts of the video:
"Of course I do."
On message to people offended by the video:
"I have no message. I didn't know about it."
On Iran talks:
"A deal can be reached, you have to get in position. We have plenty of time."
"We're going to meet again early next week."
On some of his base not being satisfied with him simply deporting violent criminals:
"My base has never been stronger."
"We're focusing on the criminals."
"The focus is on the murders, the drug dealers."
On the Gateway Train Tunnel:
"Chuck Schumer suggested that to me about changing the name of Penn Station to Trump Station."
On Nancy Guthrie:
"I think we're doing well on that regard."
"We have some clues I think that are very strong and I think we could have some answers coming up fairly soon."
"I'm not taking about a search. I'm talking about a solution."
"A lot's taken place in the last couple of hours."
On the stock market/is there more to do for people who can't invest in the stock market:
"I brought prices way down."
