President Trump Gaggles with Press on Air Force One, Nov. 14, 2025

Okay, Mr. President, what did Jeffrey Epstein mean in his emails that you said you knew about the girls?

I know nothing about that.

They would have announced that a long time ago. It's really.

What did he mean when he spent.

All the time with Bill Clinton, with.

The president of Harvard? You know, that is Summers, Larry Summers.

Whatever his name is, and all of the other people that he spent time with.

Jeffrey Epson and I had a very bad relationship for many years, but he also saw strike because I was president. So he dictated a couple of memos to himself. Give me a break.

You're going to find out. What did he know with respect to Bill Clinton, with respect to the head.

Of Harvard, with respect to all of those people that he knew, including J.P. morgan ships.

Yeah, Jennifer, go ahead.

Venezuela.

Sir, you've had a lot of meetings on Venezuela. I know you can't tell us what your next steps will be, but can you say, have you made up your mind on what you'd like to do as far as action?

I sort of made up.

I can't tell you what it would be, but I, I saw.

What do you say to your. Some of your supporters who might not be excited about another foreign campaign?

We'll see what happens. I mean, I can't tell you what it is, but we made a lot.

Of progress with Venezuela in terms of stopping drugs from pouring in. But we have a Mexico problem, we have a Colombia problem.

Any Colombia in the country, we're doing very well. Drugs coming into our country are greatly slowed, as you imagine.

On the tariff lecture. Does a similar change on your message?

No, I just want to bring down something because, look, for the most part, the foods, when we cut back a little bit on those tariffs, we'll get the price down, but they're not competitive in this country, like tomatoes and bananas and things. We don't make them in this country. So there's no protection of our industries or our food products. So what we're going to do is we cut back. We'll see prices come down even lower. You have to understand, we've all suffered from the Biden crisis, which were much higher than they are right now. But I'll be able to get them down even lower, or at least a little bit more, possibly in some cases a lot lower.

More rollbacks in the future with your tariff policies. Will there be more rollbacks in the future? Will you change anything else with tariffs?

I don't think it'll be necessary. We just did a little bit of a rollback. But some foods, like coffee, as an example where the price is appropriate for a little bit high now, they'll be on the low side in a very short period. We're very good at this. The problem is a country we took over January 20th where the prices were through the roof. So they were up 30, 40, 50%. If we got them down 30%, that means they're still higher than where they were. We had a great. We had a great four years and I think this is going to be even much better. And in terms of affordability, it's not a good word for the Democrats. It's a good word for us because our prices are much lower and would certainly be much, much lower than they were under the Democrats.

Mr. President, my newspaper, the Telegraph, has.

Led the way and exposure. Are you the Telegraph? What a job you did. What job you did. Are you proud of yourselves?

We've had a good company.

We catch BBC like that.

We have good sources, honestly.

Congratulations. You did a great service to a lot of countries, a lot of great human beings, if you want to know the truth. And exposing what fake news is all about. What BBC did, nobody would even think a thing like that. They actually change the words coming out of my mouth.

So the BBC has apologized and retracted the report when they say they won't pay any compensation, but we'll sue them.

We'll sue them for anywhere between a billion and $5 billion, probably sometime next week.

So you really think.

Well, I think I have to do it. I mean, it's. They've even admitted that they cheated. I mean, not that they couldn't have not done that. They cheated. They changed the words coming out of my mouth. That's worse than what CBS did with. They change your answer, but at least show it, you know, coming out of her mouth.

Do you think it's appropriate that British TV viewers have to pay more than $200 just for the flight to watch television? Do you think the license.

Well, I don't know what they do in. In a place that I like a lot, the general uk. Right. But the people of the UK are very angry about what happened, as you can imagine, because it shows the BBC is fake. News was you. And I knew that for a long time, but I didn't know it was this way.

Have you raised the issue with Sikhistama?

I have not, but I'm home.

I'm going to call him over the weekend. He actually put a call into me. He's very embarrassed by it, you know, that's. I don't know what percentage is owned by the country, but regardless if it's small or large or nothing, I can.

Say this, the UK is very, very embarrassed by BBC what they did.

Mr. President, you said that tariffs do not increase prices for consumers, but now you're lowering.

I didn't say they don't.

I say may in some cases, but.

To a large extent they've been borne by the country. As an example, we have virtually no inflation and yet we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars. So we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars. We've used tariffs to stop wars. You look at India and Pakistan, look at so many wars and stuff just by saying I'm going to impose tariffs, when you come to you, you're going to have war.

So a pair of crisis.

Yeah, in that case it was nuclear war and I stopped it by using yours. But and to a large extent, the countries themselves pick up the tab, the companies pick up the tab. And I find that based on inflation, we have virtually no inflation. When I inherited the country from sleepy Joe Biden, the inflation, it was the highest inflation in the history of our country for at least 48 years.

They used 48.

I said it was the history we don't have. We have now a low inflation going to be very soon even lower, but we'll get some of the prices down a little bit, which will bring them down to a new level.

How much of the time is being picked up by Americans?

I think very little. I mean, I really think very little. If you look at it. And when you add the trillions of dollars that our country is making, when you add the fact that I'll be giving back $2,000 or so to middle income people, low income people, everybody but the rich will be giving $2,000 back. And you add that in when you, that our country is extremely rich and we have no wars and we respect it. Again, when you add the fact that when China was threatening to us in terms of rare earths, I was able to solve it just by putting tariffs on China. And we made a deal a week later. When you add all of the benefits, the single greatest thing we have right now is the use of tariffs. And I use them properly. For years they've been used against us. And I think, you know, whether you call them tariffs or anything else, you didn't use them. You really would have an unguarded disaster on your hands.

Will those $2,000 payments, will that be inflationary? Because previously Republicans have said that sending money to people like under Biden.

Well, the difference is this is Money earned as opposed to money that was made up. You know that money was made up. Biden gave like the Inflation Reduction act which did not reduce inflation and it wasn't meant to. And they admitted it was a phony name. But they spent hundreds of billions of dollars on a big deal called the inflation red that was made up money. When I spend, when I pay people $2,000 each for low and moderate income and middle income people, everybody but the rich get this. That's not made up, that's real money that comes from other countries. Yeah.

Speaking of China, since you've made the deal, since you struck the deal with them, has the Chinese agreed to actually purchase any soybeans? Have they locked in any soybean?

Yeah, and they're in the process of doing it. We spoke to them today. They're in the process of doing. Not a little bit, but they'll be doing a lot of soybean purchase.

Do you know when? In the spring.

It's starting before then it's starting. They'll be buying a lot of soybeans. But really Jennifer, a lot of everything else.

Can you say who you spoke with or who the your team spoke with?

Top of the line, just on the.

Pre made check, sir. How soon American see those checks? Will that be in time for Christmas holiday shopping?

No, no, not for this year. It'll be next year.

So do you have a time frame.

Sometime during the year next? It's a lot of money, but we've taken in a lot of money from tariffs. The tariffs allow us to give a dividend if we want to do that now we're going to do a dividend and we're also going to be reducing debt. We have because of Biden and others, we have 37 trillion in debt. So we're going to be doing a dividend which people will enjoy and spend and do what they want. But we're also going to be reducing debt very substantially.

But if the Supreme Court.

Well then I'd have to do something else. Have to figure something out that would be a very sad day for our country. We used just today I stopped a war.

I won't go into which one but.

You'Ll be able to figure it out. Cambodia, Thailand, but I see, that was quick. Thank you. But just today I stopped at war by the use of tariffs. Oftentimes I'm able to do that. And if you think of the cost.

Of war, just forget about death, which is number one. But the death within those countries.

But that all comes to her in one form. Or another. It all comes right back to this. I stopped the war just today during the use of tariffs, the threat of tariffs.

If we didn't have that, other countries would use tariffs on us and we would have no fair means of fighting back.

Is that confirmation?

They're doing great, Mr. President. They were not doing great and then.

You know, they had a conflict.

Yes, sir.

And I spoke to the prime ministers.

Of both countries and they're doing great. I think they're going to be fine.

What are you doing on health care subsidies? Obviously, people.

Yeah, health care subsidies is a good question.

So Obamacare, which is the Unaffordable Care Act.

It is totally unaffordable. We want.

You see the kind of money the insurance companies are making, hundreds of billions of dollars. Their stock is up over a thousand percent over a period, a relatively short period of time. What we're going to be doing, what I'm going to be recommending, not this Obamacare, is a dis. Far too expensive and lousy health care. We're going to give the money to the people to buy their own health care. And the kind of money that we give to the insurance companies is more than going to take care of it. People are going to be able to buy their own health insurance and it's going to be great health care and they're going to get paid by the government. The government will be doing. It would be one of the greatest deals this country's ever made. So instead of giving it to insurance companies, big fat bloated insurance companies, we're giving the money directly to the people to buy their own health care.

Won't Americans buy it from insurance companies?

Some may. I mean, they'll be negotiating prices. Really free enterprise. They'll be, you know, you can do it through an insurance company. You can also buy it direct. You know, they have savings accounts. They have a lot of different ways of buying health.

Another question you asked for an investigation today, people associated with fc.

Yeah.

Major Democratic donor.

Right.

What impact do you hope that that kind of investigation can have?

I don't know. But I heard appointing a U.S. attorney and I hear a really good one to look into. I hear Southern District is going to be looking Jay Clayton, and he's a great man, a great attorney, and he's a highly respected. One of the most respected people in the country in terms of law and law enforcement. As you know, he headed up the sec. He was the head of Sullivan and Cromwell for years. He's one of the most respected people in the country. He's Been confirmed for the Southern District. And I heard Jay is going to be looking into it. J is a real. He's a real legal talent, very legitimate person.

Do you continue to believe that president should be able to order investigations?

Sure. I mean, I'm the chief law enforcement officer of the country. Not that I want to use that, but I am considered the chief law enforcement agent in the country. And I'm allowed to do it. I don't want to do it. I'm not doing it. I had nothing to do with that choice. As an example, that came from fan bonding from the doj. But you can't pick a better person than J. Clayton. He's truly one of the most respected people in that world.

Have you ruled out you tracking the Georgia RICO case at all? Did you see the news on that today?

Which one?

The Georgia case. The RICO case. Apparently they're continuing with the investigation into you and your allies related to the 2020 election. Tracking that.

You mean the Fanny Willis case?

I think so.

I can't imagine. And I thought that case was over. I was told that case was totally over. Mr. President.

Have you go out with Hardee for Ghislaine Maxwell?

I haven't even thought about. I mean, I haven't thought about it for months. Maybe I haven't thought about it at all. You're just asking me a question. But I don't talk about that. I don't rule it in or out. I don't. I don't even think about it.

What I'm seeing. Sir. Marjorie Taylor Crane, the congresswoman was on CBS News. She was talking about how the files should be released. We anticipate that a bill will happen in the House. I know you have. About the investigation today.

I don't care about it at least or not. What I think you should do. If you're going to do it, then you have to go into Epstein's rent. This Reid Hoffman spent a lot of time on the island. I was never on his island. Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. You're gonna have to look into his friends. Because you know if they're going to do that. And I think the perfect guy to do it would be Southern District. Somebody like Jay Clayton. I understand that's who's been decided.

But does the congressman have a point, though?

Does Marjorie Taylor Greene have a.

Does she have an appointment?

I know nothing about her.

Want to release the fil.

All the following. They can have whatever they want. They already do. I think they have 50,000 pages already. Look, this is a Democrat hoax. This is a hoax put out by the Democrat and a couple of few Republicans have gone along with it because they're weak and ineffective. But this is a Democrat hoax to get away from the fact that they just lost the shutdown and they've lost the elections. They've lost the big election to be in a record number. They lost the popular vote. They lost this week's days. They lost everything. I think it was 312 to 220 something. So this is a way of not talking about that.

It's a hoax.

This is no different than Russia, Russia, Russia, and it's headed up by Democrats and some very weak Republicans. I was just wondering if you have.

A timeline, very few timelines, when you might release more of those files.

Which ones?

Democrats.

I don't know about those files.

I know nothing about it. But I understand they released like 40 or 50,000 pages already and nobody. I will say this. If they had anything, they would have used it before the election. Okay, I can't tell you what they put in since the election, but if they had anything, you don't think they would have used it before the election. They would have gladly used it before the election.

Why were you or why was your team encouraging Congressman Gobert and Congresswoman Base to not pursue.

Because we think it's bad to talk about it because it gets away from the subject of how well the Republicans are doing. We have the greatest economy, we have the largest investment ever made in our country's history. We have all of these great things happening. We have very little inflation, whereas he had record setting the biggest inflation in history. All of these things. And when you talk about the Epstein hoax, what happens is you're not talking about how well we've done, Mr. Bradon. That's the whole purpose behind them. They want to waste people's time. And some of the dumber Republicans like.

Them is the president only on subjects. How are we going to say it's mostly Democrats? Are we going to see more domestic travel from you as you try to sell that message?

Are we going to see some domestic travel? Yeah, well, we spent time here. I just got back from a big trip, a very successful trip with China and with, you know, all the countries. I saw many countries over there, but we stopped in Malaysia, Japan, South Korea. It was a phenomenal trip. We had a great meeting with President Xi who's, you know, great leader, great country. Actually, whether you like it or not, China is great country. Amazing, amazing place.

Japan, amazing place.

We stopped at tremendous countries with Tremendous leaders, and we did really well. We brought back trillions of dollars in trade and other things.

But someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene would say, I'm spending too much time overseas, not spending enough time selling you domestic.

So I heard that Marjorie Keller Greene said, oh, gee, I'm spending too much time overseas. So let's say I don't meet with China. You know, what's happened right now to Georgia and every other state, they're not working. Your magnets and your rare earths would.

Have kicked in and there wouldn't be.

A factory in the world that was working if I didn't have a relationship overseas with China, with Japan, with South.

Korea, with all of them.

Malaysia. I went to Malaysia, but visited many more countries than that. If we didn't do that, if we just stayed right here, you would right now have no factory anywhere in the world that would be working because of.

Rare earth with China.

Not only that, we made a deal with China. We'd taken billions and millions of doll. We made a deal with Japan. We take in billions of dollars. We made a deal with South Korea. We're taking in billions and billions of dollars. If I would stay home, none of that would be happening. And by the way, I stay home 95, 98% of the time. The last thing I want to do is travel 22 hours in an airplane, as nice as this plan is. So, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene is not any way. I mean, she is a very different thinking than I have. Something happened to her over the last period of a month where she changed, I think politically, I think that her constituents aren't going to be happy. Already I have people calling me.

They want to challenge her to a.

Race in her district in Georgia. And, you know, that's too bad. She's lost a wonderful conservative reputation. But when she says don't go overseas. If I didn't go overseas, we might be in a war right now with China.

On nuclear testing, sir, on nuclear testing, sir, are you receiving any meanings about.

We'Re going to have nuclear testing because other people.

People test. We have other countries that test. We have more nuclear weapons than any other country. I'm the one that renovated them and built some, and I hated to do it, but I had no choice because they have it. We have more Russia second, and China is a distant third, but within four or five years, they're going to be up with us.

What I would like to do is I would like to go denuclearization, in other words, where we have a Meeting primarily of the top three to cut back on nuclear weapons. That would be a great time soon.

Get a test take place, though, pretty, sir.

China, we're number one, Russia's number two, China's number three. They're catching up. They're quite a bit distant from us right now, but they. He'll catch us in four or five minutes, I think.

I think the best thing would be if we denuclearize.

Can you tell us why you needed to get an mri? I understand that the results were good, but what was it for?

Because it's part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard when you think I shouldn't have typically, I had an mri. Here's what the story is. I had an mri. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That's it. But I had an MRI as part of my standard. Yearly or every. I think they do it every two years, but I have the physical every year and the result was outstanding.

Is it your brain?

I have no idea what they analyze, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they've ever seen. Now, the other thing I took is I took as you know, a advanced, very advanced test on mental acuity because I think a president should have to do that. And as you probably heard, I aced it. I got a perfect score. I got the highest score. I got a perfect score. And the only reason I tell you that is it's one subject, unlike Biden and others, that you can take off your plane.

The question I do believe testing is being very specific. Are you saying you want to explode a warhead?

I don't want to tell you about that, but we will do nuclear testing like other countries do. We have more nuclear weapons than any other country and we have to test.

Other countries are not exploiting warheads.

Do you think you'll get on the road for the next election?

Oh, yeah. I'll be helping people. Okay. I'll be on the road helping people. Sorry, but the midterms are very important. And again, I think we should terminate the filibuster. Republicans should terminate the filibuster. The Democrats would do it immediately if they ever got bound. And without mansion and cinema, they would have done it.

Would you be open to endorsing someone Primary Marjorie Taylor Green, given her latest statements?

Well, it depends on who runs against her. I mean, I'm no longer much of a fan as I disagree with her policy. When she said that, you know, going to foreign Countries bringing back trillions of dollars is not important. Do you think I want to go and be on an airplane for 20 hours? Some of you were with me 22 hours. Be exact travel and then get off and make a speech and get people to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in our country. I'd rather do it without having to go. But if you didn't go, you wouldn't be able to have that kind of result. As an example, Malaysia. If you look at Thailand, I stopped the war in Thailand, in Cambodia. If I didn't go to that region, I probably wouldn't have been able to stop that war. That war would have been very costly in terms of lives, but even costly in terms of us.

Are you meeting with Indiana lawmakers next week? Are you meeting with lawmakers from Indiana next week?

Not that I know.

If I might be, I don't know. They will, I guess they're making a decision as to whether or not they want to gain for the Republican Party one or two more. By the way, I will say this. I heard one or two more seats. I heard that a big lawsuit will be taking place is but will be taking place concerning the California hoax where they're trying to get five more seats. And California is one of the most dishonored elections ever. They send out tens of millions of ballots to people all over the place. Many of those people get two and three ballots and they come back. California is a disgrace on voting and they're doing something that is very illegal. So we are or will be suing California or the five seats?

The Department of Justice will be.

The Department of Justice? Yes. You're being headed by the Department of Justice.

You're meeting with the Saudi crown prince next week for the meeting.

We're honoring Saudi Arabia, the ground groups.

What are your goals for the meeting? Have you decided to sell F35 fighter jets?

Well, they wanted by a lot of jets. We make the best jets. We make the best missiles. You saw that when we took out the nuclear capability of Iran. No. You know, for 22 years they wanted to do that. No president had the guts to do it. We did it. And Iran is a different place. By the way, Iran wants to negotiate a deal. Everybody wants to negotiate with us now. If we didn't have military strength, if we didn't rebuild our military in my first term, and now we continue to do it. Biden dissipated it by giving a chunk to the Taliban. Not a good idea. But you know what the good news is? It was a lot, but relatively very little.

So, yes, to the jets. But you're not sure yet?

I'm looking at that. They've asked me to look at it. They want to buy a lot of 35, but they want to buy actually more than that, fighter jets.

Will the Abraham Accords be a part of that conversation around getting Abraham Accords, getting Saudi Arabia?

The Abraham Accords will be a part we're going to be discussing, I hope that Saudi Arabia will be going into the Abraham Courts fairly shortly. We've had tremendous interest in the Abraham Accords since we put Iran out of business. Okay. Thank you much. Thank you, Everybody. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you.
