The Post published the transcript of the call, which it said had been prepared by the White House but not released.
“As you know, the border was a tremendous problem and they’re close to 80 percent stoppage”, Trump said.
Somehow, their intrepid reporters have managed to obtain the original transcripts of conversations between President Donald Trump and the Mexican and Australian presidents.
Mr Trump and Mr Turnbull before a meeting onboard the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in NY.
Trump: “But you can not say that to the press”.
He described the wall as “the least important thing we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important”. There, Trump repeatedly asked Nieto to stop telling the press that Mexico was not going to pay for the wall. Why was Trump willing to privately tell Nieto he wouldn’t pay for the wall while threatening him not to say so publicly?
In that same call, Trump also allegedly boasted about his election victory and called New Hampshire “a drug-infested den”.
“I think he should apologize to the people of New Hampshire”, said Sen.
Not long after Donald Trump became president, he did what all new presidents do: he held introductory phone calls with many foreign leaders.
“We are already seeing positive signs of our efforts as overdoses and deaths are declining in key parts of the state”, he said.
Never mind that Turnbull explains to Trump, several times, that these immigrants were vetted both by Australian and USA security officials.
In July, the Trump administration released a list of goals for a new trade deal between Canada, the US and Mexico.
“I want you to be so popular that your people will call for a constitutional amendment in Mexico so that you can run again for another six years”, he said.
Turnbull repeatedly pressed Trump to stand by the agreement and noted they were economic refugees who would only be accepted after strict USA vetting. Eventually, Trump said, “As far as I am concerned that is enough, Malcolm”. We have our San Bernardino’s, we have had the World Trade Center come down because of people that should not have been in our country, and now we are supposed to take 2,000. His logic is that if he agrees to take in 1,250 immigrants who landed in Australia, per a deal the Obama administration made, he’ll look like a hypocrite.
“I think it is a awful deal, a disgusting deal that I would have never made”, Trump added. You have brokered many a stupid deal in business and I respect you, but I guarantee that you broke many a stupid deal. It [sic] know it is good for you but it is bad for me. “I think that’s a awful characterization of any state, let alone our state”. I am going to get killed on this thing.
