Trump, at the signing of his preliminary trade deal with China, says Sen. Lindsey Graham is a "much better golfer than people would understand." Moments later, he mocks former FBI director James Comey. He then falsely says "you don't hear complaints about the VA anymore."
Trump says they like him in Alaska. Then, mentioning Rep. Mark Meadows, he says, "His wife actually supported me long before him. But he thinks I don't know that." He then starts talking at length about fireworks in South Dakota.
Trump mentions the CEO of eBay, then tells a Sir story about how he autographs things and then immediately sees them being sold on eBay for a lot of money, like $5,000.
Trump mentions News Corp., then calls Rupert Murdoch "the greatest," then congratulates Murdoch on the high price of his sale of assets to Disney, but laments that the sale was to "some group that doesn't like Trump as much, that's the only problem."
Trump on China's role in dealing with Kim Jong Un: "It's all a very, very beautiful game of chess, or game of poker, or, I can't use the word checkers, 'cause it's far greater than any checker game that I've ever seen, but it's a very beautiful mosaic."
I've abandoned this speech. Per @Kevinliptakcnn, Trump did not begin discussing the trade deal he was signing until he spoke for more than 40 minutes. China's vice premier was just standing there impassively.
