Trump's Remarks Before Marine One Departure; December 4, 2019

Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure

THE PRESIDENT: So, I’m going to London, to NATO. We’re fighting for the American people. It has not been a fair situation for us because we pay far too much. As you know, Secretary Stoltenberg said that we were responsible, I was responsible, for getting over $130 billion extra from other countries that we protect, that weren’t paying. They were delinquent. So we’ll be talking about that. We’ll be talking about a lot of things.
We are leading the world now on the economy, and we have been almost since I became President. But we’re substantially ahead of anybody else; nobody is even close. You know that very well. And I look forward to having a number of very, very productive days for our country. We’ll be working hard.
Do you have a question?
Q Mr. President, does signing the Hong Kong bill hurt the chances of a China trade deal, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it doesn’t make it better, but we’ll see what happens.
Q Will you participate in the impeachment inquiry?
THE PRESIDENT: So, the Democrats — the radical-Left Democrats, the Do Nothing Democrats — decided, when I’m going to NATO — this was set up a year ago — that when I’m going to NATO, that was the exact time — this is one of the most important journeys that we make as President. And for them to be doing this and saying this, and putting an impeachment on the table — which is a hoax, to start off with.
If you noticed, there was breaking news today. The Ukrainian President came out and said, very strongly, that “President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong.” That should be case over.
But he just came out a little while ago and he said, “President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong.” And that should end everything. But it will never end it, because they want to do what they want to do. And they’re getting killed in their own districts. I think it’s going to be a tremendous boon for the Republicans. The Republicans have never, ever been so committed as they are right now, and so united. So it’s really a great thing in some ways, but in other ways, it’s a disgrace. It’s a disgrace for our country.
