-- John Roberts just said there were Telepromter situated at main speech site --

CNN remarked that there were 7,000 people in there ... to hear an energy policy speech. They can't get over the fact that Trump is this popular.

Goes straight to questions. Says it is good that foreign leaders are rattled, that is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Responds to being called ignorant on foreign policy.

Next W is on Manafort's "pandering" remark. Trump says we are looking for absolute confidence, many women will be involved in the administration, women are on the VP list, press has been known to misquote Manafort.

Now that he is fund raising, not "self funding." He says he is not a puppet, he is raising money for other people, for the party.

Tax release question. Says IRS has been very professional, he will release when audit is complete. Do you pay some federal taxes? Yes, I do.

On his remarks that Hillary might not be in the race. He says she has bad judgment, probably illegal on the e-mail, bad report. Skirting on the edge all the time, this is her history. He'd like to run against her, but that is up to her.

Next Q is on his remarks about governor Martinez. He says he thinks she'll come around. He has 90% approval (must be in the party). Doing very well, landslide victories in the primaries. Lists states that are in play in the general election.

Asked a question about UN treaty on indigenous people - he said he'd be looking at that, no answer right now. [I wonder what that is about]

Article in Huffington Post - Trump says, I thought they didn't cover politics. LOL.

I can’t wait to wake up to his press conferences as President.

Did I just hear somebody say the federal government was in the way? Get the federal government out of the way? YES!!!

I was wondering about that as well. Haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but did a search on bing and this is one of the things that came up (treaty was voted on in 2007 and the US was one of the few countries to vote against it):
