Trump says of his advisor Jason Greenblatt and "a young man named Jared Kushner": "Peace in the Middle East. If they can't do it, nobody can."
For at least the sixth time, Trump lies that Michelle Obama unsuccessfully campaigned for Stacey Abrams in Georgia. She did not in any way.
And what has that got to do with anything the RJC is concerned about?
Trump to Jews: "How the hell did you support President Obama? How did you do it? How'd you do it?" People in the room remind him that they didn't, since they are the Republican Jewish Coalition. He says, "You guys didn't, that's right."
Looney Toons.
Trump falsely says that this is the lowest unemployment rate in "more than 50 years." If you ignore earlier periods of this presidency, it's the lowest since 2000. Trump does a lot of this: discarding excellent true numbers in favour of bigger false numbers.
Trump falsely says that the U.S. has "lost" $800 billion per year on trade for "many years." Even if you ignore his use of "lost" to describe trade deficits, there hasn't been an $800 billion trade deficit if you count both goods and services trade.
Trump says the U.S. is "now" the #1 producer of oil and natural gas. "Can you believe that? Two years." The Energy Information Administration said in 2017 that 2016 was the fifth straight year the U.S. had been the "world's top producer of petroleum and natural gas hydrocarbons."
Trump says that NATO will get $100 billion more "this year" because of his efforts. On his visit this week, NATO's secretary general said it'd be a $100 billion total increase, since Trump took office, by 2020. Trump rejected this, saying he thinks it's going to be this year.
Trump is telling the story about how kings, queens, presidents and prime ministers called him to lobby against moving the embassy but he refused to take the calls, then called them back purposely late, asked what they wanted and said, "Wish I would've known! I did it yesterday."
For the love of Pete.
Trump on what he said to learn about the history of the Golan Heights: "Fellas do me a favor. Give me a little history, quick, I want to go fast, I gotta lotta things I'm working on. China, North Korea. Give me a quickie."
Trump on the importance of the Golan Heights to Israel: "Never fight uphill. A lot of battles are lost with these generals, want to fight uphill. Right? You need the height."
In what century is he fighting?
Trump to the Republican Jewish Coalition: "Some of you won't like this, maybe, but I would love to see peace in the Middle East."Trains to Europe, Hawaii and Australia are going to be hard to find.
Trump says the Green New Deal was proposed by a "wonderful young bartender, 29 years old. 29. No, I like her. She's 29 years old."
Trump continues to invent imaginary provisions of the Green New Deal, saying people would have to take "trains to Europe, Hawaii and Australia" and would be limited to "one car."
"We will have hundreds of miles (of wall) before the end of next year," Trump promises. "Walls build good neighbors. Right?"But then he has a problem with asylum seekers being muscular.
Trump over and over: "Sorry, get out. Sorry, get out. Can't handle it...Our country's full. We're full. Our system is full, our country is full, can't come in. Our country is full."
Trump calls the movement to boycott and sanction Israel antisemitic, saying "Republicans believe that we must never ignore the vile poison of antisemitism."
Trump applauds Timothy Matson, police hero of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, saying he visited Matson in the hospital and he was very muscular. "He is a massive guy. I looked at the chest, and it's muscle. Thank God you're massive and thank God you had a lot of muscle."
The president is describing asylum seekers, many of whom are families and unaccompanied minors, as lying muscular men with face tattoos.
Trump has a fixation about muscled men. Big men. He often comments on men's looks - if they're handsome or muscular. What's that about do you think? I know what I think.
Trump: "The Republican Party is the party for all Americans. It will be the party for great health care. You watch." Trump says that people keep talking about the spirit among Democrats, but Republicans have more spirit by far. "We may express it somewhat differently. And that's okay."
Sheesh.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE:
Looney Toons.
