FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Trump talks about obstructions, from the media to Democrats, with Judge Jeanine Pirro – Fox News
President Donald Trump discussed his next steps and ways to connect with the American people amid many obstructions from the media to Democrats during an interview with Jeanine Pirro for "Justice With Judge Jeanine" on Saturday.
Weve freed up this system, which was all glued up, so that people can build houses and they can build factories and they can build so much, Trump said. Our trade deals are about to come. Theyre going to be unbelievable. Were doing things and I honestly believe that people see it. But theres no question, it would be wonderful to go fast, but I want it to be done right.
The president believes everyday Americans can see the successes of his administration.
He said, What Im most proud about is whats happening with the country. You look at jobs are way up. Its going to be unbelievable the trade deals were making for this country. We have the worst trade deals ever made by any country anywhere and were making them into great deals. The business that were now reopening with China thats been gone for many, many years, especially when you look at natural gas, and especially when you look at the deal we just made on cattle. Its really something special.
Trump talked about the busyness of being president and how his life now is having meeting after meeting from cutting the price of the airplanes with Lockheed to cutting the price of airplanes with Boeing.
Im a very active president. Im doing like Im dealing with China, Im dealing with Japan, Im dealing with North Korea, Im dealing with all of these different things, Trump said. I am a very activeperson. I have a lot of very positive things going on right up here for this country.
Trump added later in the interview, Another president, Jeanine, will sit in the Oval Office and do practically nothing all day. Im doing every minute of the day Im doing something. Im cutting prices, Im were going this nation has such unbelievable potential.
The president dismissed media accounts about his efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare: It wasnt really an initial failure. It was just a continuation of a negotiation.
Obamacare is dead, its dying. Ive been saying that for a long time, the president said. Now Aetna just pulled out, the big insurance company just pulled out, and we have to come up with a plan, because Obamacare is dead.
The president also dismissed a New York Times article saying he demanded loyalty from FBI Director James Comey, whom he abruptly fired on Tuesday. His administration is on a fast track to nominate a replacement and several candidates were interviewed Saturday at the Department of Justice. I want loyalty to the country. I mean I want loyalty to the United States of America. I want him to do a good job or her to do a great job, Trump said.
Beyond the media, the president commented on opposition from the Democrats. Well, theyre obstructionists, Trump said. I mean what they want to do is obstruct and delay, and Im actually very surprised with Chuck Schumer because I know him; Ive known him for a long time. I cannot I really am surprised that hes become such hes gone so far left in order to get into the Elizabeth Warren group that I think hes hurting himself.
The president added, And I also dont think they can win any more elections unless they start changing their tune.
The president,however, is very optimistic about the Republican Party. Were going to end up winning. Weve been winning. We won, and now you look, we have the House, we have the Senate.
At the end of the interview, Judge Jeanine asked the president about what his late brother, Fred, who died in 1981 at 42 of complications associated with alcoholism, would think of his younger brothers achievements.
Were going to have, I think, I would love to say one of the truly great impacts of any president on the lives and the betterment of lives, people of this nation, said Trump, noting his brother would be very proud.
Fred would be looking down and he would say keep going. And I would tell you if it were different. If I thought he would be looking down and saying you can do better here or there, I think hed be very proud of the things that weve accomplished, having to do with everything from jobs to the military to the borders. You see whats happening on the borders, Trump said. Were going to have to solve some big problems, like the North Korea problem that weve been talking about. But I think hed be very proud.
