+++PART 3
WALLACE: So have you gotten comfortable with the place yet, sir?
TRUMP: I have, I feel very comfortable. It took me a little while. You know, its sort of incredible. You say youre the President of the United States, and I say, wow, and it takes a little while to get over that.
WALLACE: I was going to ask you, the first time
TRUMP: Yeah.
WALLACE: — that youre in the Oval Office —
TRUMP: Right.
WALLACE: — by yourself, everybodys gone, youre looking around the room, the — the iconic room, the most famous
TRUMP: Here we are, you know Ive had people come into this the biggest people in the world, presidents, prime ministers, the heads of the biggest companies in the world and they always stop and they say, this is the Oval Office.
WALLACE: Yes.
TRUMP: This is the Oval Office. There is nothing like it in the world. This is the Resolute Desk, very famous. This is where John John, at the time, right?
WALLACE: Right.
TRUMP: John Kennedy was right here, thats a little door that opens up and that was the famous picture, I could show you that picture, in fact, Ill give it to you. But this is a very important desk FDR, John Kennedy, you know, we have seven desks and as president you can choose any one of the desks. This is to me, I think the most beautiful, in terms of its carving. I also think in many respects its just some people that I respect.
WALLACE: How, when youre sitting at the desk, how do you make decisions? I mean do you agonize over them, do you second guess yourself? How does
TRUMP: I dont think about it, I dont think about, you know, how I make them. I make what I consider the right decision, I have great people working at the White House, they dont get enough credit. I have some tremendously talented people and I will talk to them and sometimes Ill have them go at each other, I do like that, you know let them go at each other. And they do. Theyve very competitive people and at the end I make a decision and its certainly on the economy, a lot of things weve been weve made a lot of good decisions and I want to keep it that way.
WALLACE: Do you ever second guess yourself? Do you ever —
TRUMP: Yes, oh, all the time.
WALLACE: And do you sometimes change your
TRUMP: Ive done things where I wished I went a different route but then what you do is you change course and you—you bring it back, you stabilize it out. But
WALLACE: Toughest decision youve had to make as President?
TRUMP: Well, I think North Koreas been very tough because you know we were very close. When I took that over President Obama right in those two chairs, we sat and talked and he said thats by far the biggest problem that this country has. And I think we had real decision as to which way to go on North Korea and certainly at least so far Im very happy with the way we went. I have a very good relationship with
WALLACE: Even though there was talk that they putting up new sites?
TRUMP: Maybe they are, maybe theyre not, I dont believe that, I dont. And you know could which is if thats the way it goes, thats the way it goes. You know, I go with the way we have to go but so far its been good, we have a very good relationship. Weve made I think some great decisions for the people of this country and I do, you know I put America first and other countries should put themselves first. Its not like we should put and everybody else should be second to us, no. Other countries are proud of their countries and their leadership put their countries first. But we were putting our country in many cases last. We were more worried about the world than we were worried about the United States, thats not going to happen with me.
For sure,wouldn’t it be something if more and more Mexicans started voting for us instead of the commie way.
What gets me is the trump-hate just grows week after week.What these commie clowns don’t realize is that when they come after Trump even more than usual he gets stronger and we get stronger with him!! They lose bigger than usual while we grow stronger. Bring it on commie clowns!!
Yeah for sure, I got another dose on an early morning trip to the airport when we were stopped by several men with no uniforms carrying uzis at a corner, they let us by but it was a moment you don’t forget any time soon.

I did NOT vote for Buehler in the Primary...and the Primary is where we had the problem was...how many +=%//*£ candidates were there? People don’t realize the GOP does not choose who will run...lobbyists do.
Sounds like a combination of taking our education system back and teaching capitalism from cradle to grave instead of socialism,could work.
Once third worlders start making a few bucks they should begin to see just what blood suckers the left are.
Brilliant ideas they would:MAGA!!
Wallace looked small and ineffectual sitting across from Trump. No contest.
Chris Wallace is a complete Jack@ss!
There are a number of stories out there that youre angry about the mid-terms, about your treatment in the media, about the way you were treated when you were in Paris. One story even said that you were in a cocoon of bitterness and resentment.
I don't know why President Trump gives these interviews. I wish he would at least always ask WHO is the "some say" or Who verified the "One Story said". The press makes up a story and then challenges PDJT and other Republicans to defend against the made up accusations.
I Hate to bring it up but all this jives with Jamal trying to upset MBS by turning some of those close to him.Could well have been an attempted coup. Sounds like it.It's likely he,Jamal, knew who was going to be at the embassy and that's why he went alone.
When you are scared to death that you will be thrown in jail as he claimed do you go to a foreign embassy alone?Hell no!Unless you are relatively sure of who will be there!! He knew who was coming to the embassy he designed the coup.
Problem is when the participants heard what he had to say they wanted no part of it or it was a reverse sting and they never planned to go against MBS to begin with.We may never know.
As far as Kashoggis death it could have been any one of numerous things that went terribly wrong. As we have already seen MBS's style is to force the bad guys like Jamal to pay. Not kill them.So his death makes no sense and could be why MBS keeps saying he had no knowledge of it he probably didn't.
Buehler may have not been the most Conservative person on the ballot. Other than being pro abortion, pro homosexual marriage and pro Global Warming I have no idea what he stands for. He began his campaign with a big up yours to the Christians.
Police say Best was found “unresponsive” near the garage door exit of an apartment building in Washington, D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood at 5:25 a.m. on Nov. 1, and was pronounced dead by medical personnel who responded to the scene.
The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Thursday said Best died from “multiple blunt force injuries” and it ruled his death a suicide. It would not release further information.
In announcing his death, HHS Secretary Alex Azar said the 49-year-old former CVSHealth and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals executive agreed to work at HHS “out of a desire to serve the American people by making health care more affordable.”
“He brought his deep expertise and passion to this task with great humility and collegiality,” Azar’s statement said. “All of us who served with Dan at HHS and in the administration mourn his passing and extend our thoughts and prayers to his wife Lisa and the entire Best family at this difficult time.”
Best is survived by his wife, Lisa, and three children.icial_daniel_b.html

Trump hired this guy to get big pharma inline and stop price gouging the public.
He was found dead in a garage from blunt force trauma to his body. the dc police belive he beat himself to death. yeah right. This is yet another dc cover up similar to Seth Rich.Its pretty obvious the deep state/cabal took him out to avoid messing up someones cash flow.There is most likely a lot to this story but i don't know anyone who will cover it.

good coverage here as well.
Here’s a great ad for Let’s “Complete the danged fence” AKA Build the Wall

I’ll pass anyone but McPain....
LOL! Good one!!!
Well, Maine and Alabama have at least one thing in common...third world power companies...just like Puerto Rico.
Also they (CMP) have recently become the world champions of overbilling, sometimes by 200% or more, and of course their new and exciting "smart meters" have nothing to do with it.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Maine is a net exporter of power, you would think that all that surplus power would lower our rates....
...BUT NOOOOOO!
We get to pay the "uptown" rates, same as our well-heeled bretheren in the rich part of the rest of New England.
And when we had an opportunity to cash in on tons of cheap abundant hydro-power from Quebec....the RATs blew it. Same with the Dicky-Lincoln hydro project.
Harsh weather, outrageous power rates, exodus of our young, an ever aging population....why do businesses say "no thanks"?
Sounds like a "death spiral" to me.
LOL
Wallace was doing a first class imitation of a skewered carp on that interview, wasn’t he?
