Trump to anti-ISIS coalition: "It's been an honour to work w/you and we will continue to...because unfortunately, this is not going to be something that - as brilliant as our military is knocking out the big, big sections, they'll still have tiny sections. Can be so dangerous."
Trump said that it will be announced "probably next week" that 100% of ISIS's former territory has been recaptured, but he doesn't want to say this too early.
Trump claims, when he was in Iraq, "I gave them the absolute go-ahead. I said, 'Go at it. How long will it take once you get started?' He said, 'Sir, one week.' I said, 'Where did that come from, one week?' And he meant it. And it's about a week since they really got going."
Trump on ISIS: "You're always going to have people. They'll be around. They're sick. They're demented. But you're going to have them no matter how well we do military. You can't do better than we've done military - militarily. But you will have people that will be around."
Members of the military do call him "sir," but I'm still dubious of this sir story, partly because Trump visibly seemed to be making it up as he went along.
