Trump's Remarks Before Marine One Departure; June 20, 2020
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure
Issued on: June 20, 2020
South Lawn
3:54 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we had a very good decision in the John Bolton book case. And the judge was very powerful in his statements on classified information and very powerful also on the fact that the country will get the money any money he makes. So I hope a lot of books well, I probably dont hope that. But whatever he makes, hes going to be giving back, in my opinion. Based on the ruling, hes going to be giving back.
I think the judge was very smart and very indignant at what Bolton did. I think it was a great ruling. Obviously, the book was already out; it leaked and everything else. But he leaked classified information, so hes got a big problem.
The event in Oklahoma is unbelievable. The crowds are unbelievable. They havent seen anything like it. And we will go there now. Well give a, hopefully, good speech. Were going to see a lot of great people, a lot of great friends. And pretty much, thats it. Okay?
Q Why did you fire Geoffrey Berman? Why did you fire him?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, thats all up to the Attorney General. Attorney General Barr is working on that. Thats his department, not my department. But we have a very capable Attorney General. So thats really up to him. Im not involved.
Q The U.S. economy is doing very good
THE PRESIDENT: India?
Q The U.S. economy is doing very good, but countries in Europe and Asia are now doing very bad very badly. What are your positions to that?
THE PRESIDENT: The U.S. economy is doing amazingly well. Thats right, thank you.
Q What is your position to other countries?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, I would say that the numbers that were doing are record-setting numbers. We have record-setting job numbers. We have record-setting, as you know, retail sales numbers; that just came out. The U.S. economy is doing very, very well.
Q What is your assessment of the situation between India and China, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: Its a very tough situation. Were talking to India. Were talking to China. Theyve got a big problem there. Theyve come to blows, and well see what happens. Well try and help them out.
Okay? Thank you very much. See you in Oklahoma.
