Trump's Remarks Before Air Force One Departure; May 5, 2020
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump Before Air Force One Departure
Issued on: May 5, 2020
Joint Base Andrews, Maryland
10:49 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Im going to Arizona. Were going to see Honeywell. Theyve done a fantastic job on many different fronts on the pandemic, and were going to pay our respects and also see the great people of Arizona.
Okay. Go ahead.
Q Mr. President, with these new projections, a lot of people do want the country to reopen quickly. Are you willing to accept these new projections that show that many more people will die and with interaction?
THE PRESIDENT: Those projections are without mitigation. Were doing a lot of mitigation. And we have to keep our country we have to our country wants to open. The governors its in their hands, but our country wants to open. And you see whats going on. They have to open. And the people of our country should think of themselves as warriors. Our country has to open.
Those projections are with no mitigation. We are doing mitigation. But I will say this
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: we have the greatest country in the world. Two months ago, I created, with a lot of good people I created the greatest economy in history the greatest employment numbers, the greatest success in history. And then one day, we had to close it down. Were going to beat those numbers, and Im going to beat them soon.
Go ahead.
Q Mr. President, why Arizona today? Are you going there also because its a state that is important for you politically?
THE PRESIDENT: Im going there for two reasons. I love Arizona. I have a lot of friends in Arizona. Ive great Ive had great success over the years in Arizona. And Im going to pay my respects to Honeywell, one of our great companies that has done a fantastic job for us. So I look forward to it.
Q And just to clarify, earlier: Have you decided that youre going to wear a mask at the at the Honeywell plant?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I havent decided because I dont know is it a if its a mask environment, I would certainly do that. Ill know when I get there. But I would wear it. If its a mask environment, I would have no problem.
Q Is it important for you
THE PRESIDENT: No, if Im supposed to make a speech. Youll tell me: Should I leave the mask on when Im speaking? I dont know. I just it doesnt sound right. But if its a mask environment, I would certainly wear a mask.
Q Mr. President, do you want to make any comment about this Lincoln Project ad that aired? You tweeted about it overnight
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, no, I saw it.
Q talking about Mourning in America.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, I saw a project a thing called the Lincoln Project. And I would have them change the name to the Losers Project. Because if you take a look, its Schmidt; its George Conway. The guy is he Kellyanne must have done a big number on him. But its George Conway and some other people Weaver. Every one of them, I either defeated or they lost by themselves. But its a group of major losers. Theyre Republican losers.
And if they would really think about it, I have 252 beautiful, brand new, conservative, wonderful judges. Two Supreme Court judges that are great. We produced the greatest economy in history until a month and a half ago, where we got hit by the virus and we had to close it down. And well do it again.
Weve rebuilt our military. Weve done things that nobody has been able to do. Ive gotten the greatest tax cuts in history in the history of our country, the biggest tax cuts. The Democrats want to raise your taxes. I got regulation cuts the biggest in the history of our country, no matter how long a President served.
With all of that, I guess they dont like me. But let me just tell you, these are losers, from day one. Guys like Bill Kristol. He 0 and 32. George Conway you take a look at him. Just take a look at that guy. The man is a stone-cold loser.
So they should not call it the Lincoln Project. Its not fair to Abraham Lincoln, a great President. They should call it the Losers Project.
Okay. Thanks.
