Well, I'm delighted to be here with some of the truly great sports legends of all time as we formally announce the newest members of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. We have an opportunity to literally change the fabric of kids' lives, and our first initiative is to bring back the President's fitness test. I think the time is so important. Obesity is the highest it's ever been. Mental health, as we all know, the need ought to be tackled. Make our youth healthy, help get them engaged in sports, and let them learn what it takes to be successful in life. Kids are healthier, they're happier, they do better when they're out there, they're being active, they're playing in sports, they're hanging out with their friends. Re-instill that spirit of competition, and that spirit and that commitment to nutrition and physical fitness, and I'm so grateful to President Trump for your leadership and bring this back for our country. ♪♪♪

Thank you very much. It's a great honor to have Prime Minister Starmer in the Oval Office. It's a very special place, and he's a special man. And the United Kingdom is a -- is a wonderful -- this is a wonderful country that I know very well. I'm there a lot. And I'll be going -- I'll be going there, and we expect to see each other in the near future. We'll be announcing it. But we're going to be discussing many things today. We'll be discussing Russia-Ukraine. We'll be discussing trade and lots of other items. And I think we can say that we're going to be getting along on every one of them. We've had a tremendous relationship. And, frankly, the Prime Minister and I have met twice before, and we get along very famously, as you would say. And I look forward to it very much. We look forward to the day and the meeting. We'll be having a luncheon after this. And then another work session. And I believe we're going to have a press conference at the end. So I look forward to it. And, Mr. Prime Minister, thank you very much.

But isn't it nice to have a president who doesn't need a teleprompter not that he can read it anyway, he can't read it. Now think if I read my teleprompter and I'm going well let's see because of the weakness in the economy I'd like to apologize. Pause. Pause. Pause. What was that? That's unbelievable. Pause. You know I was watching it I said that was weird. They actually don't have pause in my teleprompter you know they have a blank space that's like you see there's a response if there's no response you just keep going you don't have pause.

and I'll tie in the Bible. Oh, in the Bible. - The former president to the United States, Donald Trump, let's watch together. - Today, it was a very important decision. We're very well crafted. And I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together, which our country needs. And they work long, they worked hard. And frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now. Extremely important. Essentially, you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way. And it has nothing to do with the fact that it's the leading candidate, whether it was the leading candidate or a candidate that was well down on the totem pole, you cannot take somebody out of a race. The voters can take the person out of the race very quickly, but a court shouldn't be doing that and the Supreme Court saw that very well. And I really do believe that will be a unifying factor because while most states were thrilled to have me, there were some that didn't and they didn't want that for political reasons. They didn't want that because of poll numbers, 'cause the poll numbers are very good. We're beating President Biden in almost every poll. New York Times came out yesterday with a very big poll for us. So they didn't like that and you can't do that. You can't do what they tried to do. And hopefully Colorado as an example will unify. I know there's tremendous support. They brought our support up very strong in Colorado because people in Colorado thought that was a terrible thing that they did. And while we're on the subject and another thing that will be coming up very soon will be immunity for a president and not immunity for me, but for any president. If a president doesn't have full immunity, you really don't have a president because nobody that is serving in that office will have the courage to make in many cases what would be the right decision or it could be the wrong decision. It could be in some cases the wrong decision, but they have to make decisions and they have to make them free of all terror that can be rained upon them when they leave office or even before they leave office. And some decisions are very tough. I can tell you that as a president that some decisions to make are very tough. I took out ISIS and I took out some very big people from the standpoint of a different part of the world, two of the leading terrorists, probably the two leading terrorists ever that we've ever seen in this world. And those are big decisions. I don't wanna be prosecuted for it. Another president wouldn't wanna be prosecuted for it. It had a tremendously positive impact. It stopped everything cold. And sometimes you have to make, they were tough decisions. Sometimes you have to make decisions like that. When you make a decision, you don't wanna have your opposing party or opponent or even somebody that just thinks you're wrong, bring a criminal suit against you or any kind of a suit when you leave office. I have that right now at a level that nobody's ever seen before. I have rogue prosecutors and I have rogue judges. I have judges that are out of control and it's a very unfair thing for me, but serving perhaps as a sample to others of what should not be happening. When you make good decisions, and in my case, the economy was great. We didn't go into any wars. We totally defeated ISIS. We provided the largest tax cuts in history. We provided the largest regulation cuts in history, but think of it, no wars. We beat ISIS 100% of the caliphate. Then there were no wars. We did a job that was great, but maybe I wouldn't have done that. The caliphate defeating them was very powerful. It was gonna take four years. It took me four months, but it was a very strong dictum that I gave. I said, get 'em, defeat 'em, end it. We were fighting for 20 years against ISIS and we did it very quickly. I don't wanna be prosecuted. In that case, it worked out very well. There will be some things that perhaps don't work out so well, but I don't wanna be prosecuted because I decided to do something that is very much for the good of the country and actually for the good of the world. The president shouldn't have that on his mind and he has to have a free and clear mind when he makes very big decisions. Or it's going to be nothing more than a ceremonial post. You'll be president, that'll be a wonderful thing and you won't do anything because you don't wanna be hit by your opponent or hit by somebody else because who wants to leave office and go through what I've gone through? I'm being prosecuted by Biden, my opponent, 'cause every one of these things, whether it's Fannie Willis or Bragg, these are local and state, but they're in total coordination with the White House. You can't do that. It shouldn't be done. I mean, a thing like that in the case of the DA's office, they put one of the top people, maybe the second person in the Manhattan DA's office to get Trump. They had a Hillary Clinton lawyer leave the law firm, very prestigious big law firm, leave the law firm to go into the DA's office to get Trump, pomerance, it's the pomerance. So he goes in to become a prosecutor, worked for the Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton, goes in to prosecute Donald Trump at a local level, in total coordination with the Department of Justice, meaning Biden. And then you have the Fannie Willis, and she would say, Fonny, Fonny, F-A-N-I, but Fonny. And she hired somebody, knew the person long before this horrible prosecution took place and she went out and she paid him an unbelievable amount of money, more money than he ever had dreamt possible, much more money than other people that do that for a living. He never did it at all, had no experience in it at all. And they had obviously a conflict, we don't have to go into that, but they were able to get a lot of money because it was a high profile person, me, I'm a very high profile person. So they were able to pay him close to a million dollars when he was not equipped to do the job, and she's not equipped to do the job, and that case should end immediately. And that case is so conflicted, nobody's ever seen anything like it. And then you have deranged Jack Smith, who's a Trump hater, and represents all the Trump haters, and he's going wild, he's just a wild man. He's been overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court, went after other people over the years, he's had great failure, but he's mean, he's nasty, he's unfair, and the judges on these cases, they're all Trump haters, other than we have maybe one or two that I think can be fair. But you look at New York, what's happened, I mean, these people have tremendous hatred. You can't do this to a president, and again, I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about in the future. A president has to be free. A president has to be, if the president does a good job, I did, some people would say a great job, but if the president does a good job, a president should be free and clear, and frankly celebrated for having done a good job. Not indicted four times, and not gone after on a civil basis, and not demanded to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines on something that was absolutely perfect where there were no victims, where the financial statements were absolutely flawless, where you have disclaimer clauses. I mean, nobody's ever had a thing like this, I wasn't given a jury, and I had a clubhouse judge just come up with this number. On a perfect loan, and very conservative financial statements, but even at that, if you look, the disclaimer says, don't rely on the financial statements in any way, shape, or form. Go out and do your own work. The banking question had the most sophisticated lawyers in the world, frankly, a very top, one of the top law firms anywhere in the country, and they can defend themselves, what guys like Bragg, and Letitia James, and Fonny, and Durange Jack Smith, what they should be doing is fighting violent crime, and that would lead me to the end. I will say that President Biden, number one, stop weaponization. Fight your fight yourself. Don't use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election. Our country is much bigger than that. The other thing I say to President Biden, close the borders now. This is not sustainable for our country, it's not sustainable for our cities. Our country is under siege. This is a violent thing that you've done, and many people are dying. Many, many people are dying. They die on the trip up, they die going through the border, and they die in our country. But many of the people coming up are from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums. Many are terrorists, you see it? Many, many are terrorists. And I believe the real number that we have right now is probably closer to 15 million people, and by the time the term ends, I believe the President's term ends. I believe you'll be at close to 20 million people. That's almost larger than any state in the union. Our country, it is not sustainable. Many of these people are tough. Many of these people are bad. They come from some of the roughest countries in the world and some of the roughest prisons. We have prisons in the Congo, in Africa coming. We have people coming from all parts of the Middle East. They're coming from Yemen, and yet you are bombing Yemen. You have to stop, you have to close the border. You have absolute authorization. You don't need Congress. I had the safest border in the history of our country, and I didn't use Congress for it. And then I built hundreds of miles of wall, and the reason I built it and how I built it was I considered it an invasion of our country, and I took the money from the military, and the Army Corps of Engineers did it with me, and we did a great job. And we had the safest border we've ever had, and now we have the most unsafe border. Anywhere in the world, at any time, there's never been a border like this. At any country, anywhere in the world, they would have fought with sticks and stones to stop the horrible situation that's occurring. Our people can't stand it, and the people coming in really can't stand it, because they're dying. Many are dying on the trip up, and they're dying in the country. And also, many of the people are criminals, and they're doing tremendous harm. I call it migrant crime. It's migrant crime, it's a new category of crime. They're hurting our country horribly, and we've become a laughingstock all over the world. So I say respectfully to President Biden, you have the authorization right now, I did it. I didn't go to Congress and say, do I have the right to close? I fought Congress on it, closed the borders. You can do it right now, you have everything. Use my policies, my policies were great. Everybody said it, use my policies. So just to finish, I have great respect for the Supreme Court, and I wanna just thank them for working so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly. And again, this is a unifying factor. Everybody and I was together, and they can go after me as a politician, they can go after me with votes, but they're not gonna go after me with that kind of lawsuit that takes somebody out of a race who's leading in this case, but even if the person wasn't leading. And I wanna thank you all for being here.

Will you sue him for us? Oh, we're definitely going to sue him. We're going to be a real pain in the ass. I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president. We need to focus on Donald Trump. We need to follow his money. What is fueling my soul right now is Trump and his illegitimate president. I look forward to going into the office of Attorney General every day, suing him and then going home.
