(7,220 posts)"I have visited ...Arlington, Black History, American History museums...Mr. President: You have a great democracy. Keep it going on.
(Trump looks at him and nods, then thinks about what that means for two beats, then raises his eyebrows as if surprised.)
Finnish Pres. noted 100 years of diplomatic relations with specific mention of "scientists, for example, meeting and working together".
Most important thing is to guarantee security to our respective citizens.
"We all know that Europe needs USA. But I say that USA also needs Europe. We know the price of everything, should recognize the value of democracy, human rights...Europe has in a way awakened to understand more of the security point of view. In my opinion, the stronger Europe we have, the stronger partner you have."
"The artic area is becoming more interesting, Maritime routes are being opened, but there are huge risks, one of which is that we should keep the low tension, and it is not a place for military; but greater challenge is the environment." (Talking about climate problems and melting sea ice in the artic, that if we lose the artic we lose the globe.)
Talking about the need to negotiate new agreement about arms control and avoid another cold war.

First questioner: "Will you cooperate with subpoenas?"
tRump:
"I always cooperate. But this is a hoax, blahblahblah, a fraudulent crime on the American people, but we'll work with "Shifty Schift" (apparently he's abandoned Liddle') and Pelosi and all of them.
...blahblahblah, still bitching about Schiff "making up the call, I think he had some kind of a mental breakdown". (Basically tRump is explaining how he doesn't understand paraphrasing); says Schiff is "guilty of treason, the call was 'perfect" (again that word!)
"many people were on the line", says he knew all about that "including Mike Pompeo"
...says he got the permission of the Ukranian government to release transcript of he call, "otherwise I wouldn't have done it" (sounds like he's laying the groundwork that he needs Pooty's permission to release the transcript of those calls).
Says he "loves REAL whistleblowers, but this is a "phony" one.
Oh goody, he's pivoting to Obama
