Outrageous lines from Donald Trump's wild, impromptu, news conference on the White House lawn
https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/10/politics ... index.html
1. "So we're going to Texas. We're going to the border. Just spoke to some of my friends in Arizona. We have tremendous support."
2. "The Republicans are extremely united. They all want to see something happen, but they're extremely united."
3. "For instance, this morning a number of people came out and said, 'You do need very strong border security, and that includes a wall or whatever it is.' A number of Democrats said that, but people don't like to report on it."
4. "We have tremendous unity in the Republican Party. It's really a beautiful thing to see. I don't think there'll be any breakaway, because they know we need border security and we have to have it."
5. "I'm a professional at technology."
6. "When during the campaign I would say, 'Mexico's going to pay for it,' obviously I never said this and I never meant they're going to write out a check."
7. "So Mexico is paying for the wall indirectly."
8. "And I find China, frankly, in many ways, to be far more honorable than Cryin' Chuck and Nancy. I really do."
9. "I think that China is actually much easier to deal with than the opposition party."
10. "I have the absolute right to declare a national emergency."
11. "I haven't done it yet. I may do it. If this doesn't work out, probably I will do it ... I would almost say definitely."
12. "And they don't come in at the checkpoints, which they do also."
13. "If we don't make a deal -- I mean, I would say a hundred percent, but I don't want to say a hundred percent, because maybe something else comes up."
14. "If we don't make a deal, I would say it would be very surprising to me that I would not declare a national emergency and just fund it through the various mechanisms."
15. "I don't know if they know how to make a deal."
16. "But that's a wall, and they have other walls. We have many walls under consideration."
17. "There's acid that can go through concrete."
18. "I very calmly said, 'If you're not going to give us strong borders, bye-bye.' And I left. I didn't rant. I didn't rave, like you reported."
19. "I don't have temper tantrums. I really don't."
20. "I didn't smash the table. I should have, but I didn't smash the table."
21. "And by the way, NBC may be -- NBC may be the most dishonest reporters of all time."
22. "The Democrats, which I've been saying all along, they don't give a damn about crime. They don't care about crime."
23. "And I'd say 80% of you are possibly in coordination with the opposition party."
24. "The buck stops with everybody."
25. "They've been taken over by a group of young people who, frankly, in some cases -- I've been watching -- I actually think they're crazy."
26. "We have to get a win or I'll have to go national security, one or the other."
27. "Compromise is in my vocabulary, very strongly."
28. "I didn't know anything about it. Nothing about it."
