Trump says - in 2019 - that "digital is becoming a very big factor in the world."

Trump, calling out supporter standing next to him, can't quite seem to find him.

At White House event on US-Japan *trade*, Trump does a show and tell, making people in the beef and farming industry look at his chart and tell him what a great job he's supposedly doing on shutting down traffic at the border. Again, this was a *trade* event.

At White House event on US-Japan *trade*, Trump goes on and on about the features of his border wall, including the likely made-up story that they got mountain climbers to test it out and that the wall is "anti-climb."

This was a White House trade event, with reps from Japan.

Trump is noncommittal on protesters in Hong Kong but stops to admire that some of them have supposedly been waving Trump signs and using his slogan.

Trump says he won't take any sides with regards to Turkey or the Kurds, despite Kurds fighting alongside America to defeat ISIS. Says he told Turkey's Erdogan "don't hurt" any of "our people."

Trump says he chose to give up on the Kurds because... something about EU countries not taking ISIS people and then he threatens them that maybe now they'll change their minds.

Trump says the US military has only become great now since he took over and spent money on it (the US military killed Bin Laden, as well as many ISIS and al-Qaeda under President Obama).

Trump declares, "you can't impeach a president for doing a great job." Then he points to the Japanese ambassador for support and cites a completely made up poll saying hes up 17 points. (He's down in support while impeachment support is up).
