Quotes from POTUS:
"We had productive discussion on having fair and reciprocal trade and market access."
"We're linked in the great effort to create a more just and prosperous world. And from the standpoint of trade and creating more prosperous countries, I think they are starting to be committed to more fair trade. We as a nation lost $870 billion on trade...I blame our leaders and I congratulate leaders of other countries for taking advantage of our leaders." (that's a real slap!)
"If they retaliate they're making a tremendous mistake because you see we have a tremendous trade imbalance...the numbers are so much against them, we win that war 1000 times out of a 1000."
"We're negotiating very hard, tariffs and barriers...the European Union is brutal to the United States....the gig is up...there's nothing they can say."
"We're like the piggy bank that everybody's robbing."
"I would say the level of relationship is a ten - Angela, Emmanuel and Justin - we have a very good relationship. I won't blame these people, unless they don't smarten up and make the trades fair."
Asked if Crimea should be considered Russia now:
"You'd have to ask President Obama because he's the one who let Crimea get away. He allowed Russia to take Crimea. I may have had a much different attitude.
Some people like the idea of bringing Russia back in." (end quotes)
Like anything, there's the rub when the feed bag is going to be removed from politicians. No more games folks, Putin and Trump are running the show and who's riding shotgun? The people of the world.
Now for that clip after the briefing, seems like a Kleenex monument.
