White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out of town pool #14 - Trump gaggle on AF1 ✈
Trump gaggled with the pool for about 16 minutes and made some news
Note this was streamed online and to the briefing room but select quotes here:
DID WATCHING DIGNIFIED TRANSFER MAKE YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT WAR?
Trump: “No we’re winning the war by a lot. we decimated their whole evil empire. It will continue I’m sure for a little while but I’m very proud of the people.
SENDING IN GROUND TROOPS?
Trump: “I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t think it’s an appropriate question. You know, I’m not going to answer it. Could there be? Possibly, for very good reason. There would have to be a very good reason. I would say if we ever did that they would be so decimated that they wouldn’t be able to fight at the ground level.”
GROUND TROOPS TO SECURE ENRICHED URANIUM?
Trump: “We’ll find out about that. We haven’t talked about it. It was a total obliteration and they haven’t been able to get to it. And at some point maybe we will. It would be a great thing. Right now we’re just decimating them but we haven’t gone after it.
“But something we could do later on. We wouldn’t do it now.”
CONCERNED ABOUT KURDS STAGE A COUP?
Trump: “We’re not looking to the Kurds going in. we’re very friendly with the Kurds as you know but we don’t want to make the war any more complex than it is.”
