00:00That's called a happy Trump.
00:03And considering the fact that I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied.
00:07On Venezuela, is it ultimately more important to you to establish stability there or democracy
00:12there?
00:13Well, you're talking about maybe the same thing.
00:16I mean, you're talking about stability or democracy?
00:18I don't know.
00:19To me, it's almost the same thing.
00:20We want stability, but we do want democracy.
00:23Ultimately, it'll be democracy.
00:25Peter?
00:26I have a policy question, President Trump, but I'm having a hard time seeing here.
00:30I see the American flag lapel pin.
00:32What is the other lapel pin on your track?
00:34Somebody gave me this.
00:35You know what that is?
00:36That's called a happy Trump.
00:39And considering the fact that I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied, I will never be satisfied
00:46until we make America great again.
00:48But we're getting pretty close, I'll tell you what.
00:50This is called a happy Trump.
00:52Somebody gave it to me.
00:53I put it on.
00:57And the policy question.
00:58How much money are you thinking of giving people in Greenland to get them on board with
01:03a possible U.S.
01:04I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet.
01:07I might talk about that.
01:09But right now, we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not,
01:15because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland.
01:19And we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.
01:26Okay?
01:27I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way.
01:30But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way.
01:37And by the way, I'm a fan of Denmark, too, I have to tell you, and they've been very nice
01:42to me.
01:43I'm a big fan.
01:44But you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that
01:48they own the land.
01:50I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also.
01:53But we need that because if you take a look outside of Greenland right now, there are Russian
01:59destroyers.
02:00There are Chinese destroyers and bigger.
02:03There are Russian submarines all over the place.
02:05We're not going to have Russia or China occupy Greenland, and that's what they're going to
02:10do if we don't.
02:11So we're going to be doing something with Greenland either the nice way or the more difficult
02:15way.
02:16Please go ahead, ma'am.
02:17On Greenland, Mr. President, why is it so important to you to own it when you have
02:25a military presence there, which you could expand to effect security?
02:29Because when we own it, we defend it.
02:31You don't defend leases the same way.
02:33You have to own it.
02:35And you know, with a nation, look at what happened with Obama with that horrible deal they
02:40made with Iran.
02:41It was a short-term deal.
02:42It was like a nine-year deal.
02:45These can't make nine-year deals or even hundred-year deals.
02:48Countries have to have ownership.
02:50And you defend ownership, you don't defend leases.
02:53And we'll have to defend Greenland.
02:55If we don't do it, China or Russia will.
02:58It's not going to happen.
02:59We are not going to have — and I like China.
03:01I like Russia.
03:02I love the people of China.
03:04I love the people of Russia.
03:06I get along very well with President Putin, but I'm very disappointed in him.
03:10I get along very well with President Xi.
03:12I'm going to go over to China in April, but I don't want them as a neighbor in Greenland.
03:16It's not going to happen.
03:17And — and by the way, and NATO's got to understand that — I'm all for NATO.
03:23I saved NATO.
03:24If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a NATO right now.
03:27But we're not going to allow Russia or China to occupy Greenland.
03:31And that's what's going to happen if we don't.
03:34Go ahead.
03:35On that economic report that came out today, Mr. President, one, can you respond
03:40to that?
03:41And two —
03:42It was an amazing report.
03:43The amazing — and the most amazing thing is government jobs are way down.
03:47And yet the employment came — unemployment or the employment numbers are very good.
03:53They're really getting better.
04:02But now we have all those people to work in the private sector for a lot more money.
04:07I think that's one of the very big things.
04:08The other thing is that 5.4 percent — and remember, this is after we had a shutdown.
04:14And that shutdown had an impact because the concept of the shutdown, even though it's
04:19before, people knew we were going to be shutting down.
04:21A lot of bad things happened.
04:23And by the way, on January 30th, you may have another shutdown.
04:26We'll see what happens.
04:28But I think the numbers, Caitlin, were really amazing.
04:31Look, to think about 5.4 percent — nobody thought that.
04:36They thought it was going to be 2 percent.
04:37And you know what it is?
04:38It's tariffs.
04:40And it's also November 5th.
04:41We had a great election — a great, great election.
04:45Our country was dead one-and-a-half years ago.
04:48And now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
04:51And I hope you guys were impressed — 5.4 percent.
04:55And we haven't even really transitioned yet.
04:57There's no reason it can't be much, much higher than that.
05:11Then we're sitting after a great opening meeting in the world.
05:12And no.
05:13Today we're talking to euch입니다.
05:14Just leaning on our opens and reaches a screwdriver, close to the way to go.
05:17That means we're going to be a political moment.
05:18And we're not going to go back at the door.
05:19We're starting to definitelyặn you despite the fight, guys.
05:20You know what when it comes before you first, guys.
05:22So you want to DOUJF, please.
05:24Let's continue to know you're way ahead to the winds.
05:26We'll be coming back.
05:26Let's get back.
05:27Never?
05:28The time that you're going to arrive again.
05:31I can't leave.
05:32Yeah.
05:33I can't leave.
05:34Bye.
05:36Don't let the back before you.
