“I was here on Christmas evening, I was all by myself in the White House. That’s a big, big house. Except for all the guys out on the lawn with machine guns… I was waving to them. I never saw so many guys with machine guns in my life. Secret Service and military. These are great people,” Trump began.

He added, “They don’t play games. They don’t like wave. They don’t even smile. But I was there all alone with the machine gunners. I felt very safe. I have to tell you. Great people. There’s a lot of them. But I was hoping that maybe somebody would come back and negotiate.””
