Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure
Yeah?
Q Do you regret implying that Ted Cruz's dad killed JFK?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't regret anything, honestly. It all worked out very nicely.
Q Hey, Mr. President, you said Californians were rioting over the sanctuary cities. Where?
THE PRESIDENT: You shouldn't have - take a look. They want to get out of sanctuary cities. Many places in California want to get out of sanctuary cities.
Q But that's not rioting, sir, right?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, it is rioting in some cases.
Q Where are the riots, sir?
Q One more question, Mr. President. On Khashoggi, some conservatives have said that he's an activist, while, you know, there's a general -
THE PRESIDENT: Who's an activist? Who?
Q Khashoggi. Part of the Muslim Brotherhood. And some contend he's a journalist. Who do you think he is?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I'm going to have to find out. We're going to find out a lot. We're going to find out. We're going to know a lot over the next two days about the Saudi situation. It's a very sad thing.
Any more?
Q Yeah. Do you have any evidence that there are terrorists as part of this caravan? Or Middle Eastern -
THE PRESIDENT: You know what you should do, Jon? Go into the middle of the caravan, take your cameras, and search. Okay? Search.
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: No, no. Take your - Jon, take your camera, go into the middle, and search. You're going to find MS-13, you're going to find Middle Eastern, you're going to find everything. And guess what? We're not allowing them in our country. We want safety. We want safety.
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think it's going to happen. I'm not saying (inaudible). But I think we're doing really well. I have never seen such spirit, except for maybe '16, (inaudible) the big election. I have never seen the spirit that we have right now.
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: I think the Republicans are going to do very well. I have never spirit like we have. Now, whether it's Kavanaugh, whether it's tax cuts that we gave, whether it's common sense - I've never seen it. But I'll tell you - I'll tell you a big factor is what's happening on the border. What's happening on the border was caused by the Democrats because they won't let anybody change immigration laws that are horrible. The worst anywhere in the world.
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: No, they didn't. No. No, they didn't. Not at all. That's all fiction.
Q Mr. President, Saudis are going to get to the bottom of (inaudible)?
THE PRESIDENT: We're going to see what happens. And I'm going to know a lot in two days.
I'll see you in Texas. See you in Texas.
Q Mr. President, are you prepared to build up the U.S. nuclear arsenal? You said you're going to pull out of the arms deal.
THE PRESIDENT: Until people come to their senses, we will build it up. Until people come to their senses. Russia has not adhered to the agreement. This should've been done years ago. Until people come to their senses - we have more money than anybody else, by far. We'll build it up. Until they come to their senses. When they do, then we'll all be smart and we'll all stop. And we'll - and by the way, not only stop, we'll reduce, which I would love to do. But right now, they have not adhered to the agreement.
Q Is that a threat to Vladimir Putin?
THE PRESIDENT: It's a threat to whoever you want. And it includes China, and it includes Russia, and it includes anybody else that wants to play that game. You can't do that. You can't play that game on me.
Q You want more nukes is what you're saying? You're building up the nuclear arsenal.
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: Until people get smart. Until they get smart. They have not adhered to the spirit of that agreement, or to the agreement itself - Russia. China is not included in the agreement. They should be included in the agreement. Until they get smart, there will be nobody that's going to be even close to us.
Q But have you talked to Putin about it?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I have not. I have not.
Q The Russians say they've been complying.
THE PRESIDENT: I don't have to speak to him. I don't have to speak. I'm terminating the agreement because they violated the agreement. I'm terminating the agreement.
Thanks everybody. Thank you.
