Trump's Remarks Before Marine One Departure; July 15, 2020
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure
Issued on: July 15, 2020
South Lawn
1:29 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: So were making a trip. You know where were going, and it wont be long. Well back here pretty early. Discussing a lot of very interesting topics.
The markets are very good. The country is doing well. Jobs are growing fast. We want schools to be open, and they will be open. And theyll be open, I think, relatively on time. Hopefully, perfectly on time, most places.
And do you have any question? Yeah.
Q Mr. President, whats your reaction to your former Attorney General Jeff Sessionss loss in Alabama yesterday?
THE PRESIDENT: Im very happy that Tommy Tuberville won the race. I think hes going to be a great senator. We dont have a good senator in there right now. And Jones, hes not doing the job. He should be doing a much better job. Certainly he doesnt represent the views of the people of Alabama thats for sure. So were not happy about him at all.
I dont think the people of Alabama are happy with their representation in the Senate. And Tommy Tuberville is going to be a great senator. He was a great coach. I spoke to another coach last night unrelated and he said, Tommy Tuberville was a great coach and hes a great guy. Someday Ill tell you who said that, but hes somebody respected.
So it was a great it was a tremendous win for Tommy Tuberville last night. Im very happy about it.
And also a tremendous win for Ronny Jackson, and it looks like it could be a tremendous win for a gentleman named Gonzales. You know about that too. That race is still a little bit going on. By the time I got involved, a lot of the votes were already cast. But I got involved, really, at the last moment. We think he can easily win that area. So and two very good candidates. Reyes is a great candidate and so is Gonzales.
But when I got involved, a lot of the votes early votes were cast, and it was a big comeback. It was a big comeback. So thats going to be a very interesting race.
The other thing very, very amazing somebody you all know is Ronny Jackson. Admiral Ronny and Doc Ronny. We call him a lot of different things. But everybody agrees: They respect Ronny Jackson a lot.
Yeah.
Q Mr. President, you declared MS-13 as a terrorist organization this morning. Are you going to plan to do the same thing with Antifa and leftist organizations that you say cause trouble?
THE PRESIDENT: It could happen. It could happen. Antifa is no good. Theyre bad. Theyre bad people, and it could very well happen.
Q Mr. President, why do you want coronavirus data going to HHS first instead of the CDC? Why make that change?
THE PRESIDENT: Didnt change for me. I look, theyre all on the same team. Were all on the same team, including Dr. Fauci. I have a very good relationship with Dr. Fauci. And were all on the same team. We want to get rid of this mess that China sent us.
So everybody is working on the same line, and were doing very well. Were doing well in a lot of ways, and our country is coming back very strong. When you look at those job numbers weve never had job numbers like we have right now. So its coming back very strongly.
Okay?
Q Has Peter Navarro gone rogue?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, he made a statement representing himself. He shouldnt be doing that. No, I I have a very good relationship with Anthony.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
