Trump's Remarks Before Marine One Departure; September 26, 2020
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure
Issued on: September 26, 2020
South Lawn
6:25 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Were going to Pennsylvania, and we look forward. We have a big, big crowd.
That was great. It was a great honor to be with Amy and her family. Shes going to have an amazing future. I think its going to go quickly, I hope. And but I think shes got a great future. Brilliant.
When the professor at Notre Dame one of the most highly respected said the best student hes ever had, that means something. And first in her class and all of that. So its a its a great honor. Today was a big a big thrill.
Q Are you expecting fireworks at her confirmation fight?
THE PRESIDENT: I think its very hard. I mean, I dont know how they can do it. The question was: Do I expect any fireworks at the confirmation? I think its very hard. Shes you know, where? What could you say? The best student, best academically, great judge, great professor. The highest recommendations, right? So I think its very, very hard for them to do it.
Q Mr. President, how do you feel about a majority of Americans wanting to wait until after the election? The winner should nominate.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I dont think they know Amy when they get to meet her and get to see her. But, you know, this is just something we have a lot of time, because if you really look, you know, we dont have to do it before. But I think this will be done before the election, and I think itll send a great signal to a lot of people. But shes outstanding, and Im glad you could be there.
So were going to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and theres going to be a lot of people there, and thats good. And I think were doing very well. Thank you. Were leading in Pennsylvania. Were leading in Florida. I think were leading everywhere.
Q Mr. President, on another topic: Do you have confidence in Director Wray?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, he disagrees with us on a couple of things. Well see whats going on.
But if you look at the ballots you know, they found ballots in a garbage can, and they had the name Trump on them. They were cast for Trump, and they found them in a garbage can. They found many ballots, as you know, in a riverbed, in a state in a certain state. They had another case where a thousand ballots were sent, but not single they were sent double, so you get to vote twice.
This whole thing Ive been telling you, this whole ballot scam is going to cause a lot of problems for our country. I want to see a very peaceful transition, but its got to be a legal process. When you get thousands of ballots sent to people and theyre double ballots, where you get two votes and thats just one of many problems.
Go back and look at the Iowa primary, Democrat primary. They still dont know who won. I mean, if you look at it, it was a disaster, using this system. And I dont think they know who won yet. Many ballots were missing. There was fraud. There was look, we cant do this. And that was a relatively small number of people. We cant do this to our country.
So were going to see. Were going to watch, and were watching very closely. The U.S. attorneys are watching, the Attorney General is watching, the sheriffs are watching, local police is watching. And its a very sad thing.
Also, Bloomberg Bloomberg cant go to Florida and pay people to vote. Hes paying people to he committed a crime if he does that. And he has done that. So, you know, he understands that. So, thats it.
Q Are you getting ready for the debate? And are you going to go on the attack against Biden at the debate?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I cant tell you what Im going to do. I mean, I dont know. Im going to go to the debate. Steve is just asking, Will I go on the attack? I have no idea. I have no idea how hes going to be. Hes always different when he comes out because hes on a different medication, I guess. But hes always very different when he comes out. So I have no idea whats coming out.
But Ive been doing this for a long time, but hes been doing this for 47 years; Ive been doing it for four years. Theres a big difference.
Q Would you be comfortable if abortion becomes illegal in certain states?
THE PRESIDENT: Youre going to have to talk.
Q Would you be okay if abortion becomes illegal in certain states as a result?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, thats going to be up to all of the justices. Theyre going to see. I never discussed that with Amy. This is something that because it wouldnt be appropriate to discuss. Theyre going to have to make a decision, and thats going to be for the judges to see.
Q Did she tell you whether she believes Roe v. Wade
Q What was her question?
THE PRESIDENT: Say it?
Q Oh, is the confirmation hearing going to be on October 12?
THE PRESIDENT: It looks like it. Theyll be putting that out very shortly. Lindsey Graham will be putting that out very shortly. But its going to go fast. Were looking to do it before the election. So its going to go very fast.
Thank you all. See you in Harrisburg. Thank you.
