Transcripts For CSPAN President Trump Holds News Conference 20240712

The economy added 1. 4 million jobs last month. We have added a recordsetting 10. 6 million jobs this may. 10. 6 million jobs since may. That is a record, it is not even close. Secondplace is a long ways away. In july the cbo was protecting projecting unemployment over 10. 5 through the end of 2020. They thought 2020 would be a lot longer than that. Some projections where you go through the entire year and that includes a lot of months and the following year, 2021. Instead the Unemployment Rate plunged, really to the surprise of many, all the way down to 8. 4 in august. That is the second largest single month decline on record. We have the first. Have both of them. We have the two number one declines. Decline meaning positive, not negative. We are witnessing the fastest labor Market Recovery from an economic crisis in history. World history. By contrast, biden presided over the worst, just and slowest economic recovery since the great depression. It was a long, slow slog. It was the weakest recovery. Under my leadership, next year be the greatest economic year in the history of our country, i project. Some people are starting to agree. We have a v shape. The stock market already, and some cases, setting records. The nasdaq has setteam record has set 17 records already. First we will end the pandemic under operation warp speed. We pioneered groundbreaking therapies, reducing the fatality rate 85 since april. You dont hear that from the press very often. They dont like to talk about that. So, the fatality rate, 85 . Think of that. Since april. The United States has experienced among the lowest fatality rates of any major country in the world. And we are an absolute leader in every way. Under my leadership we will produce a vaccine in record time. Biden and his very liberal running mate, the most liberal person in congress, either way not a Competent Person in my opinion would destroy this economy. Should immediately apologize for the reckless antivaccine rhetoric that they are talking right now, talking about endangering lives and it undermines science and what is happening is all of a sudden you will have this incredible vaccine and because of that fake rhetoric it is a political rhetoric, that is all it is. Now they see we have done an incredible job. And speed like nobody has ever seen before. This could have taken two or three years. Instead it is going to be done in a very short period of time. Could even have it during the month of october. So, contrary to all of the lies, the vaccine they are political lies. They will say anything. It is so dangerous for our country, what they say, but the vaccine will be very safe, very effective. It will be delivered very soon. You could have a very big surprise coming up. Sure you will be very happy. The people will be happy. The people of the world will be happy. Next we will return to unprecedented prosperity through our proamerican policies. We will pass new tax cuts to boost take home pay. Youre going to be cutting taxes very substantially. We get it back through growth. We had tremendous growth until we get hit by the china virus. We will continue our regulatory production campaign. And three and half years we have cut more regulations than any other administration. We will enact fair trade deals and we are working on seven major fair trade deals right now. I say fair, fair to our country because our country was pricked off by every nation friend, foe, didnt matter every nation was ripping us off at a level that it is just unbelievable, to be honest. We are going to be expanding opportunity zones and we will keep that going. It has been a tremendous a tremendous program. I want to thank senator scott, South Carolina for coming up with that concept. He came up and i liked it right away. It has turned out to be a tremendous thing, especially for africanamericans, hispanic americans. We will continue to unleash american energy. We are number one of the world and we are Energy Independent right now. 2021 for creating million jobs at least in the first months. Joe biden and radical socialist democrats would immediately collapse the economy. If they get in, you will have a crash the likes of which you have never seen before. Your stocks, your 401 k s. Remember, it is the people that own these massive, listed companies a lot of people, rich people and not so rich people and middle income people, and those stocks will crash. The biden plans starts with a 4 trillion tax hike. That will end everything, including growth. There will be total contraction. Biden has pledged to demolish the u. S. Energy industry and implement the same policies causing blackouts in california. He wants to have things lit up with wind. He will have to talk with china russia, india and lots of other countries. Because they are not doing that and if they are not doing it, it puts us at a tremendous economic disadvantage if it doesnt work. You take a look at the blackouts in california, it is rather amazing what is going on. They have tried to go and that is just a small portion going that route it doesnt work and it cannot fire up our big plans. It cant fire up our big plants. Bidens plan for the china paris virus is to shut down the entire u. S. Economy. He is going to totally rely on somebody to walk up, yes sir, it is time to shut it down. He would be laying off tens of thousands of workers and causing deaths from suicides and other very serious illnesses. Because when you do a shut down, there is a problem on the other side. It is not just from the virus. You have a problem with suicides, losing your jobs. With all sorts of things. You just take a look. Depression is a massive problem. What happens is, they turned substance abuse, alcohol, and drugs. Then we would have to give up all of the gains ive been talking about over the last three months. Nobody has done what we have been able to do. So, youre setting records in jobs, setting records in numbers. You have the numbers coming out and they are, i think, going to be fantastic. The best numbers of all, if somebody doesnt come along and raise taxes, quadruple your taxes. But youre going to have a good thirdquarter number coming out. And i think its going to be hard for even the media to disparage that number. Biden wants to surrender our country to the virus. Right now they are happy. They are setting records on purchases. China is purchasing more corn than i have ever done. Record purchase of corn and soybeans, beef because they know i am not happy with them. Im not happy at all. Frankly, i dont want to set the world, necessarily, to thinking too much about it right now. There has been no country anywhere, at any time, that has ripped us off like china has. We lose billions and billions of dollars for years and years, decades. We have lost billions and billions and billions of dollars by dealing with china. We get nothing from china. They get nothing, other than loss, other than giving our money and they take that money and they build up their military. It is very lucky that i have built been building ours up, because otherwise we would be dwarfed right now by china. It would be a terrible thing. A terrible thing. We are way ahead on the nuclear front. We have upgraded our nuclear hope to god we never have to use it. Who would be in a position we are not in right now, but china is spending the money we give them to build up their military. When you mention the word decouple, it is an interesting word. We lose billions of dollars and if we did not do business with them we would not lose billions of dollars. It is called decoupling. So, he will start thinking about it. They take our money and spend it on building airplanes, ships, rockets, and muscles. Biden has been a pawn for them. He has been so easy, they dream about biden. There was a report today, they hope joe biden becomes president. If joe biden becomes president china blown the United States. They will be smiling. When reports come out that certain countries dont like me, that is not because of my personality although it could be that also, frankly. It is because i have been very tough on countries that have been ripping us off. If you look at nato, with the exception of eight countries we are one of them every country is delinquent, especially germany. That means we end up paying it. Were not doing it. I told him, we are not doing it. They have increased their spending 130 billion, going up to 400 billion a year. It is all because of me. And you hear the country doesnt like me i can understand that. Because president obama and other president s would make a speech in. I said, this is unfair, we are paying for nato. Almost all of it. So they rip us off on the military and then they rip us off with the European Union on trade. You know he doesnt have a clue. Biden doesnt have a clue. In prime time he wasnt good, and now it is not primetime. He spent 47 years sending american jobs to china, mexico, and other countries while collecting millions of dollars in contributions from Global Corporations that got rich i making American Workers poor. His son where is hunter . I call him, where is hunter . Walked away with 1. 5 billion to manage, even though he never did that before. He walked away with a fortune from ukraine, from china, and from other countries. Between his son and brother, you want to read the statements. The press doesnt pick up on that. If i ever did that it would be even worse than it has been, ok . Even worse than it has been. What he has done is so incredible. I will not give them the 1 billion, he says. I will not give it to them unless they get rid of that prosecutor. And then they got rid of the prosecutor. The press doesnt want to talk about it. You talk about quid pro quo. With me there was one. You should be ashamed of yourself. Biden shipped over our jobs, and sent our youth to fight in these crazy wars. Im not saying the military is in love with me, the soldiers arent. The top people in the pentagon probably arent because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those Wonderful Companies that make the bombs, who make the planes, and make Everything Else stay happy. But we are getting out of the endless wars. You know how we are doing. We defeated 100 of the isis caliphate. It was all over. They had it in a certain color, all isis. A year later, i said, where is it . It is all gone, sir. Because of you it is all gone. Because of my philosophy. I say, thats good, lets bring our soldiers back home. Some people dont like to come home. Some people like to continue to spend money. One coldhearted globalist, betrayal after another. Biden supported nafta, he supported chinas entry into the world trade organization. Two disasters. The most disastrous trade deals in history. I cant tell you which was worse, they were both terrible. I ended nafta. We are looking at the world trade organization. They have become much better, i will say that. World health we get out of, because we are spending 500 million, china was spending 38 million and china controlled it. But world trade, we are looking at it. They have been very nice to us lately, i will say that. We never used to win anything at the world trade. Now all of a sudden we are winning cases. They are talking to us much differently than they used to. Because if they do not shape up, we are going to ship out, that is all. We are not treated fairly. China is treated as a developing nation. We are not fully developed, as far as im concerned. When you look at portland and see what these democrats are doing to our cities. Take a look at what is happening in new york and chicago. We have democratrun cities, mayors that are running and governors that are running states so badly, and mayors running cities so badly. It is very sad. It is democratrun, everyone that i see. I guess we can probably find one or two that are not, but so far i havent been able to. If you look at biden, he supported ppp, transpacific partnership, it would have been a disaster. By the way, many plants are being built right now in michigan, just like i said. They are being built in ohio, being built in South Carolina, north carolina. They are being built all over and expanded at a level we have never seen before. As i said to japan and germany and others, sorry, you have to come here and build plants, otherwise we are going to have to make it very tough on you. We got out of the horrible Paris Climate Accord that he will go back into because, you know, it sounds wonderful. It is a disaster for this country. They are basically taking away your wealth. The other countries dont have to adhere to it. China doesnt kick in until 2030. We had very high standards. We wouldve have had to close 25 of our businesses in order to qualify under this ridiculous Paris Climate Accord. Sounds good, it was very bad. The New York Times published a story on bidens china sellouts. I appreciate that. In 2000 one biden said the United States welcomes the emergence of a prosperous, integrated china on the global stage because we expect this is going to be a china that plays by the rules. They didnt play by the rules. The world trade organization, one of the reasons it is so bad is because china did not play by the rules. We did. We did, their rules were easier because they are considered a developing nation. Even that, they didnt play by the rules. They were flatlined for years and years, and the joint the world trade organization. Frankly, they cheated, ok . They cheated, i will say. I feel much differently. I made a great trade deal china. And they are buying. I talk about it because today is labor day. Its a good time to talk about when we are being ripped off by countries, but nobody is even close to china. Biden said chinas rise as a great power because powers adhere to nonproliferation, human rights, and trade. They didnt. They took advantage of stupid people. Because of bidens economic treachery, we shuttered 60,000 american factories. I hear the real number is probably 70,000. 70,000 shuttered american factories and he is talking about how wonderful it is with china. On top of which, had the china plague sent to us. And other viruses. Nothing near this serious, but the swine. We had other viruses sent in over the years that came from china. I wonder why. If biden wins, china wins, because china will on this country. If biden wins, china will own this country, and hopefully were not going to be able to find that out. It is the most important election in our history, right now. Under my administration we will make america into the factoring superpower of the world and will and our reliance on china, whether it is decoupling or putting in massive terrorist like i have been doing already. We are going to and our alliance on china, because we cannot rely on china. We will manufacture our critical measure medical supplies in the United States. We will create made in america tax credits and bring our jobs back from china and impose tariffs on companies that deserve america to create jobs back from china to the United States, and we will impose tariffs on companies that dessert america to create jobs in china and other countries. If they cant do it here, then let them pay a big tax bill to someplace else and send it into our country. We will prohibit federal contracts from companies that outsource to china. And we will hold china accountable for allowing the virus to spread around the world. Now you can understand china would much rather see sleepy joe than President Trump. But as long as i am president , we will never waver in our undying loyalty to the American Worker and our country as a whole. So, happy labor day, everybody. Yeah . Go ahead. Thanks, mr. President. The issue of what happened when you were in france pres. Trump you going to have to take that off. How many feet are you how many feet are you away . If you dont take it off, you are very muffled. So if you would take it off, it would be a lot easier. I would just speak a lot louder. Is that better . Pres. Trump it is better. It is better. Some people are having a hard time believing your denials of the atlantic story because of what you said about john mccain in the past. Do you understand that . And have you asked pres. Trump no, i dont understand that. Have you asked john kelly to refute that story . Not. Trump no, i do understand it at all. Because ive always been on the opposite side of john mccain. John mccain liked wars. I will be a better warrior than anybody, but when we fight a war, we are going to win them. I was not a fan of john mccain, you understand that. But i had to approve his funeral. He deserved a first it was always approved by me. We sent air force one to pick up the casket. A lot of things. But i was not a fan of john mccain, because he wanted the endless wars. And i didnt. I thought that the way the vets were taken care of, our great vets, was not good, not appropriate. And, of course, he took the fake dirty dossier and gave it to the fbi. So is this somebody i am supposed to say what a wonderful guy . You know what . I lived with him. He lived with me. But we had different philosophies. I think my philosophy it right. I think it turned out to be right. I was not a fan, but i respect people. I respect a lot of people. That does not mean i necessarily have to agree with them, and i do not agree with him on a lot of things. The story is a hoax, written by a guy who has got a tremendously bad history. The magazine itself which i dont read, but i hear it is just totally antitrump. He is a big obama person, he is a big clinton person. And he made up the story. It is a totally made up story. In fact, i was very happy to see zac fuentes came out and say i think that is number 15. That is the 15th prison, general kellogg, everybody who was there knew what happened. So i was happy to see that zac came out and said it was not true. It is a disgrace. Who would say a thing like that . Only an animal would say a thing like that. There is nobody that has more respect for not only our military but for people who gave their lives in the military. There is nobody. And i think john kelly knows that. I think he would know that. I think he knows that for me. But zac fuentes, you know, worked for john. I think they both know that. But zac came out today, yesterday, last night and said very strongly that he did not hear anything like that. Even john bolton came out and said that was not true. What was true was that we had the worst weather i think it was as bad a rain as i have just about ever seen, and it was a fog you literally could not see. I didnt need somebody to tell me. I walked
