00:00What's on tap for Melania's birthday?
00:04Oh, she's going to have a great birthday.
00:07She's got a working birthday. She's up front.
00:11I should send her back. You want to have somebody answer a question?
00:14I'll send her back into the lion's pit.
00:18Susie, let's send Melania back to the lion's pit.
00:22Are you taking her to dinner, Mr. President?
00:25By the way, they would love that one.
00:26Can we see your office up there sometime this weekend?
00:32Yeah, you can come up. We'll let them come up a little bit later.
00:37Are you taking Mrs. Trump to dinner or have you had time to get her a present?
00:42You've been very busy.
00:43I'll take her for dinner on the Boeing.
00:47I'll take her for dinner on Air Force One.
00:50I haven't had much time to have my presents.
00:53We've been pretty busy.
00:55But it's working out.
00:56Things are working out very well.
00:58People are starting to understand how good tariffs are for us.
01:02And, you know, tariffs have been used against us for 50 years.
01:06Now, I never understood it as a private person why we allowed that to happen.
01:12You know, it goes back a long time.
01:14But I never understood it.
01:15Why did we allow that to happen?
01:17Where we couldn't go into China, but they could come here.
01:20We couldn't go into Europe, but they could come here.
01:22So many, every place.
01:24We couldn't go into India.
01:25They could come here.
01:27I never understood why they allowed that.
01:31And I don't blame the countries.
01:33I blame the presidents for allowing it to happen.
01:35But you have a different kind of a president now.
01:38So, thank you very much.
01:39I'll see you in the next question.
01:40Thank you, sir.
