Who gets the rose? Who gets to go to the honeymoon suite with President Trump? You have to love how President Trump trots this stuff out. I do love this sort of showmanship from President Trump. I enjoyed it when he did it with Justice Gorsuch. I'm enjoying it even more this time because the whales and gnashing of teeth

2:52.4

that can be heard in the background are just

2:54.4

glorious. did it with Justice Gorsuch. I'm enjoying it even more this time because the whales and gnashing of teeth that can be

2:52.8

heard in the background are just glorious to be home.

2:55.5

We'll get into some of those whales and gnashing of teeth in just a second.

2:58.8

President Trump tweeted out, looking forward to announcing my final decision on the U.S.

3:02.8

Supreme Court Justice at 9 p.m. Eastern tomorrow night at the White House.
