Trump told reporters this morning that he expects there will be "a lot of people joining our military" because of the event last night.
Trump repeated his usual false claim about Americans not paying his tariffs, saying, "Billions of billions of dollars of tariffs are coming in. And China's paying for it, not our people." Americans make the payments, and multiple studies have concluded they're bearing the costs.
Trump repeated his usual claim that there would've certainly been a war with North Korea if not for him. He's previously falsely claimed, not this time, that Obama told him he was close to going to war.
Trump said his Teleprompter went out "right in the middle of that sentence" when he said that the Continental Army took over nonexistent airports. He added, "I guess the rain knocked out the Teleprompter...it was actually hard to look at anyway, 'cause it was rain all over."
"I'm a very honest guy," Trump told reporters before and after making various false claims.
Trump says facilities on the border are "really well run." He then says Border Patrol officers "aren't trained to be doctors and nurses and janitors."
Asked about undocumented immigrants employed by his properties (for years), Trump says, "That I don't know. Because I don't run it." He adds, "Probably every club in the United States has that, because it seems to be, from what I understand, a way that people did business."
Trump continues, "We've ended - whatever they did." He says the rules are now "very strict."
Trump repeated his nonsense that Obama sought a meeting with Kim Jong Un, this time saying Obama "called" on "numerous occasions." There's no evidence Obama ever wanted a meeting at all, let alone of phone calls. I fact-checked this earlier in the week: cnn.com/2019/07/01/pol…
