[Special] Washington Post: President Trump’s Friendly ‘Fox and Friends’ Interview Went Exactly How You Think It Would

By Chris Cillizza:

DOOCY: Because it doesn't seem -- if you cut all the money from EPA and all the money from State, that's about $50 billion.

TRUMP: Well, I think the money is going to come from a revved up economy. I mean you look at the kind of numbers we're doing, we were probably GDP of a little more than 1 percent and if I can get that up to 3 or maybe more, we have a whole different ball game. It's a whole different ball game.

And that's what we're looking to do.

DOOCY: But to get the economy going, you've got to get the Affordable Care Ac t...

TRUMP: Right.

DOOCY: -- replaced and repealed.

TRUMP: Right.

DOOCY: And then you've got to do something about taxes and how close are we to either of those?

TRUMP: Right. We're going to be doing things having to do with other countries, because we're treated very, very unfairly. We're going to be doing cuts on so many different things.

We're also going to be -- when we help other countries, when we help them, even militarily, we're going to ask for a form of reimbursement, which right now -- I mean we have countries where we're taking care of their military, we're not being reimbursed and they're wealthy countries.

We have a lot of things happening.

We're going to get those numbers way up and we're going to take care of -- and we're going to have a lot of great friends, but we're going to get the numbers way up and we're going to get jobs back in our country. You see what I've done. Ford has announced, General Motors, Fiat has announced. They're all building big plants. They're all coming back into the United States.

They were fleeing. They were fleeing our country. And you mentioned EPA. We have, right now -- I call it the veins of the country. We have, right now hundreds and hundreds of massive deals that are tied up with environmental protection. When they are -- Scott Pruitt, who is terrific. Just got approved.

But when he gets going, those projects are going to be freed up and they're going to be sailing. And you're talking about thousands -- and millions, actually, of jobs.


(Editor's Note: I have added a new tag called "BigBrainYuge" to celebrate the mental majesty of our orange hued leader. If you read this snippet and you do not think Trump is an uninformed and intellectually bereft moron, I have bad news for you.)
