Share to FacebookShare to Twitter President Trump said Thursday that he is thankful "for having a great family and for having made a tremendous difference in this country."
Trump made the comment when asked by reporters what he is grateful for on Thanksgiving shortly after holding a phone call with troops overseas.
“I’ve made a tremendous difference in the country,” Trump said. “This country’s so much stronger than it was when I took office and you wouldn’t believe it.”
“I mean you see it, but [it's] so much stronger that people can’t even believe it,” Trump said. “When I see foreign leaders, they say, ‘We cannot believe the difference in strength between the United States now and the United States two years ago.'”
The country “made a lot of progress,” he added.
The president also used his appearance to heap praise on his acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who was appointed to the role earlier this month after Trump asked former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign.
"Matt Whitaker is a highly respected person...and...you know, once I choose somebody they always go through hell...but Matt Whitaker is a highly respected man," Trump said.
"The Justice Department respects him tremendously," he continued. "I've spoken to a lot of people and you know, the press has been nasty to Matt Whitaker, but I can tell you that he is a highly respected, strong person and he's doing a great job. Everybody tells me that. He's doing a really great job."
I’m thankful for the magnificent and heroic leadership of our President Trump!
You are the greatest man the Republic has ever known. Not even Washington has accomplished as much as you against such fearsome odds
Thanks be to God for President Trump.
The quotes in the article do not support the assertion by The Hill that he said he is thankful for himself. That's something Obama would say and I hope Trump didn't say it.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never quite saw someone being thankful to themselves on Thanksgiving. :)
I love him and one of the reason is BECAUSE he is a character :)
The election of DJT was unquestionably a divine intervention to stop the communist evil of Hells and her band of traitors.
I never thought I would see someone even greater than the great Ronaldus Magnus...but DJT has exceeded RR while battling so much evil from so many sources.
"Throw me to the wolves and I'll return leading the pack."

I would be thankful if he actually arrests someone committing felony after felony like the clintons and obamas and actually builds the wall.
Amen to that.
Trump has certainly made some very evil people show their true colors.
My pocket book, bank account, and retirement plans thank him as well.
The “reporters” might believe the nation is stronger, but they sure as heck are not going to repot it.

Exactly. Is there no rule of law?
If not, maybe I’ll start committing felonies.
I’m thankful too.
Once again, Trump gets it right.
Imagine what he could have accomplished if he had the cooperation of the GOP............
