1. This is the exchange:

After a reporter asked if Trump had asked Finnish President Sauli Niinistö for any special “favors” such as when Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the president ignored her question and started ranting about how tough he was.

“The political storm, I’ve lived with it, from the day I got elected,” Trump said. “I’ve done more, and this administration has done more, than any in the history of this country in the first two-and-a-half years. I’m used to it, for me it’s like putting on a suit in the morning.”

Trump then claimed that many people — including two conservative talk show hosts — are in awe of his ability to handle controversy.

“Rush Limbaugh said, ‘I don’t know of any other man in America that could handle it,'” Trump said. “Sean Hannity said that same thing. Others have said the same thing. I don’t know any man in America… because it’s all a fraud!”

2. he also mentioned them (plus M. Levin) at press conf at U.N. last week

he mentions them toward the 2 minute mark if you can't stand to watch the whole 2.26 minutes. LOL

He touted his administration’s accomplishments and went back to the Democrats for their “viciousness,” saying that Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler “must laugh their asses off” in private.

“It’s so bad for our country,” Trump continued. “People have said — Rush Limbaugh, great man, Sean Hannity said it. A lot of people have said it. Mark Levin, they said they don’t know if one man anywhere in the world with all the men they know or woman that could handle what I’ve had to handle. And I think that’s true. But I handle it. To me, it’s like putting on a suit.”
