Trump stated this "took place to all" presidents, and he named the White House a "quite unusual spot."

Trump has all but announced a third operate for the White House, and searching ahead he argued the "most critical detail is staff." Trump pressured he experienced "fantastic individuals" in his administration, and pinned the "poor types" on tips he bought from "RINOS" and other people. The longtime businessman also said "that could be dealt with," a nod perhaps to his upcoming political ambitions.
