Trump's Remarks Before Air Force One Departure; JB Andrews; September 8, 2020
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump Before Air Force One Departure | Joint Base Andrews, MD
Issued on: September 8, 2020
Joint Base Andrews
Prince Georges County, Maryland
11:46 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, thank you very much. Great job numbers. You see whats happening with respect to the economy. A vaccine is looking very good for pretty soon. Well talking about that a little bit later on.
Were going to Florida. Were going to North Carolina. Were doing a double stop. Well be doing some triples along the way, but right now were, sort of, in the earlier stages.
The poll numbers you saw were very good. Theyre really getting good despite all of the disinformation campaigns that the Democrats run. Pure disinformation. So were doing very well. Well have a good trip today, and Ill see you during the trip.
Any questions?
Q (Inaudible) spend any money on your own campaign?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, if I have to, I would. But were doing very well. We needed to spend more money up front because of the pandemic and the statements being made by Democrats, which were, again, disinformation. Weve done a great job with COVID. Weve done a great job with the China virus a great job. Whether its ventilators or whether its vaccines, which youll be seeing very soon, or therapeutics, weve done a great job.
But the press was fake, and we have to spend a lot of money. No, if we need if we did need we dont, because we have much more money than we had last time going into the last two months; I think double and triple. But if we needed any more, Id put it up personally, like I did in the primaries last time. In the 2016 primaries, I put up a lot of money. If I have to, Ill do it here. But we dont have to because we have double and maybe even triple what we had a number of years ago four years ago.
Q Mr. President, you spent $60 million in that primary. How much are you talking about putting into your campaign now?
THE PRESIDENT: Whatever it takes. We have to win. This is the most important election in the history of our country. We have a radical-left group going around. These people there is something wrong with them. There really is. There is something wrong with them. And Joe doesnt have the strength. He doesnt have the mental capability to control these people.
And you take a look at whats going on and I looked at Pittsburgh, I looked at Rochester, I looked at LA last night. I looked at these Democrat-run cities. You look at Portland every night. They dont have the strength. They dont have the I dont think the Democrats have the courage to control these people. Theyre afraid to even talk about law and order. They cant issue the words law and order. All we want is law and order.
And I just put out something: The suburbs are coming big to us because the suburbs are next. If you elected this guy, the suburbs would be overwhelmed with violence and crime. So thats where we are. This is the most important election in the history of our country.
So thats it. Well see you in Florida. Thank you very much.

(33,643 posts)1. Media should cease to show up to campaign ads like this ...
I don't know if they did, but I'd imagine they did. And they probably showed it on 'the news'.
Major networks should stop doing so, IMHO.

(15,776 posts)2. Stop giving him free air time
Hes an impeached liar, grifter n con man. His disrespect shouting in front of the helicopter is another reason to not engage with him.
