You bet. Believe me. So many truths. Have a seat, please, sir. Would you state your

full name and occupation for the record? President Donald J. Trump, President CEO and

0:28.8

the host of America. Big ratings, the best. You understand the role of judges in the

0:34.4

US, sir? A judge halted your Muslim ban ruling parts of it unconstitutional, right?

0:40.1

He is not a little bastard. You're on her like that for a recess. I'd like an answer to the

1:55.6

conversations with Russian officials. Michael Flynn is an open Islamophob. He worked on

2:11.6

the assassination program under a Bush and Cheney. He more recently was the frontman

2:18.1
