"I am the chosen one." -- Donald Trump just now. [View all]

What a moment.

President Trump on the WH lawn just looked up to the sky and said, “I am the chosen one.”

He was talking about the trade war with China and repeated his claim that he needs to take on China for unfair trading practice.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday his life would be easier if he had not mounted a trade war with China but said “I am the chosen one” to take on Beijing.

Trump told reporters the United States would probably make a deal with China.
