Trump's Remarks Before Marine One Departure; July 11, 2020
He flew?
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure
Issued on: July 11, 2020
South Lawn
5:08 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Its very hot. Its very hot.
So were going to Walter Reed Hospital, and were going to be seeing soldiers our great heroes, our wounded, and some badly wounded. And theyre incredibly brave and great people. And were going to see also the warriors on the frontline of COVID, and quite a few of them. And were going to spend some good time with them, and I look forward to doing it. And itll be my honor to be there.
Q What is your message by wearing a mask today?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, Ill probably have a mask, if you must know. I mean, Ill probably have a mask. I think when youre in a hospital, especially in that particular setting, where youre talking to a lot of soldiers and people that, in some cases, just got off the operating tables, I think its a great thing to wear a mask. Ive never been against masks, but I do believe they have a time and a place.
Q Mr. President, can you tell us about Roger Stone and why did you not take the advice of the Attorney General, who cautioned you against clemency?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, he didnt say that. No, the Attorney General, about a week or two ago, had made a statement, but that was long before anybody knew what I was going to do.
Roger Stone was treated horribly. Roger Stone was treated very unfairly. Roger Stone was brought into this witch hunt, this whole political witch hunt and the Mueller scam its a scam, because its been proven false. And he was treated very unfairly, just like General Flynn was treated unfairly; just like Papadopoulos was treated unfairly. Theyve all been treated unfairly.
And what I did
Q Will you give them clemency too?
THE PRESIDENT: What I did I will tell you this: People are extremely happy because, in this country, they want justice. And Roger Stone was not treated properly.
So Im very happy with what I did. He I commuted his sentence, and by commuting, he now has the right to go and hey, look, he had a forewoman
Q Sir, what about a jury?
THE PRESIDENT: Quiet.
Q A jury decided this, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Quiet. Quiet.
He had a forewoman he had a forewoman who was horrendous. She should have never been on the jury. The judge shouldve so ruled. The judge didnt do that. Take a look at the record. The judge didnt do that. Take a look at the forewoman. He shouldve had another trial. Roger Stone was treated very badly.
Now, take a look at Comey, take a look at McCabe, take a look at the two lovers, Strzok and Page. Take a look at all these people that are walking around and they lied to Congress, and they leaked and they did everything else a lot of other things. Take a look at Biden, Sleepy Joe. Take a look at Obama. And they spied on Donald Trumps campaign. Those are the people let me just tell you something: Those are the people that should be in trouble.
Thank you.

Sat Jul 11, 2020: This statement again attacks the jury foreperson. The judge found zero evidence she acted improperly
RadicalLeftIndoctrinationHat Retweeted
This statement again attacks the jury foreperson. The judge found zero evidence she acted improperly. In fact, a juror chosen by Stones team to testify said the foreperson urged them to take more time to consider a charge on which most had already decided Stone was guilty.

OP
What they're doing here is fomenting praise so he'll be willing to wear the mask again.

he's going to do regarding his complete lack of action for the murder of American soldiers by Putin. How anyone at Walter Reed could not spit in his face is beyond me.
