THE PRESIDENT: Thank you everybody. So, the stock market is up again, and we’re very close to a new high. It would be over 100 times, I believe. You’ll check it. But many, many times, we set the record. So we’re very honored by that. We’re having a tremendous couple of weeks. A lot of good things are happening.

Q The man that you called “my African American” at your rally in 2016, he says he’s leaving the Republican Party because you’re pursuing a pro-White agenda. What’s your reaction to that?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. What?
Q What do you — what do you say to him? What do you say to — he used to be a supporter of yours?

Q Do you have any answer for —
Q He’s a supporter of yours that used to be a supporter, and then he’s not anymore.
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know who you’re talking about.

Q But do you think he’s wrong? Do you think he’s wrong that you’re pursuing a pro-white agenda?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think this. I think this. It’s very simple: We have the best numbers we’ve ever had for African Americans, in terms of employment and unemployment. So I think we’re going to do very well.

And the wall is going up as we speak. We intend to have, approximately, you know, maybe something short of 500 miles of wall. That would be almost everything that we need. About 500 miles is what we need. And we’re going to be very close to that by the end of next year.
