REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump to the Nation
Issued on: February 6, 2020
East Room
12:21 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you very much. (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you. Wow. (Applause.) Well, thank you very much, everybody. Wow. Weve all been through a lot together, and we probably deserve that hand for all of us, because its been a very unfair situation.
I invited some of our very good friends. And we have limited room, but everybody wanted to come. We kept it down to a minimum. And believe it or not, this is a minimum.
But a tremendous thing was done over the last number of months, but really, if you go back to it, over the last number of years. We had the witch hunt. It started from the day we came down the elevator, myself and our future First Lady, whos with us right now. Thank you, Melania. (Applause.)
And it never really stopped. Weve been going through this now for over three years. It was evil. It was corrupt. It was dirty cops. It was leakers and liars. And this should never, ever happen to another President ever. I dont know that other Presidents would have been able to take it. Some people said, no, they wouldnt have. But I can tell you, at a minimum, you have to focus on this because it can get away very quickly. No matter who you have with you, it can get away very quickly. It was a disgrace.
