Excerpts From Trumps Conversation With Journalists on Air Force One

JULY 13, 2017

The following are excerpts, as prepared and released on Thursday by the White House, from a conversation aboard Air Force One between President Trump and members of the press corps as they flew to Paris on Wednesday night.

The conversation was initially thought by the journalists to be off the record. However, the White House changed the terms of the exchange after Mr. Trump asked the pool reporter, who works for The New York Times, why it was not covered and she informed him that the journalists believed they were not allowed to use the material.

Note: Asterisks and ellipses denote sections of the president’s conversation that were left out by the White House.

...and nobody knew it until five years ago."

That's the first I've heard him say that

Interesting transcript! If you can make your way through the word salad

Thanks for posting
