00:01:20STOCK MARKET JUST HIT ANOTHER ALL-TIME HIGH. THAT'S THE 81ST TIME DURING A
00:01:24BRIEF 1.5 YEARS. AND 401(K)S LIKEWISE, ALL-TIME HIGH.
00:01:30MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BENEFITING FROM THIS
00:01:35INCREDIBLE ECONOMY THAT WE ARE CREATING.
00:01:37WE ARE BUILDING RIGHT NOW A
00:01:39RECORD NUMBER OF PLANTS, FACTORIES.

00:01:50NUMEROUS PLANTS COMING FROM CANADA TO THE UNITED STATES.
00:01:53THEY WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY, BUT NUMEROUS PLANTS COMING FROM CANADA.
00:01:59ALSO JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, AND GERMANY.
00:02:03SO WE ARE DOING THINGS NO ONE'S EVER DONE BEFORE. STOCK MARKET JUST HIT 81 TIMES
00:02:07IN A SHORT YEAR AND A HALF
00:02:10PERIOD. ALL-TIME HIGH.
00:02:15AGAIN, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE DARLINE GRAHAM ON HER TREMENDOUS
00:02:19VICTORY TUESDAY NIGHT. SHE IS SAILING NOW, REALLY DOING GREAT.
00:02:23SHE STILL HAS TO RUN AGAINST A
00:02:25RADICAL LEFT LUNATIC, AND THE
00:02:28SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO STAND FOR THAT. I KNOW SOUTH CAROLINA VERY WELL.
00:02:33I WON IT EVERY TIME. I HAVE THE ALL-TIME RECORD BY MILLIONS OF VOTES.
00:02:38BUT I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE
00:02:40DARLINE FOR HAVING RUN A
00:02:43GREAT RACE. SHE'S GOING TO BE A GREAT SENATOR. THE PEOPLE LOVE HER.
00:02:47SOMETHING ABOUT HER IS VERY SPECIAL.
00:02:50SHE HAS A LITTLE LINDSAY IN THERE SOMEWHERE, GOOD GENETICS.
00:02:54LINDSAY IS LOOKING DOWN VERY HAPPY AND PROUD OF HIS SISTER.
00:02:58SO CONGRATULATIONS, DARLINE.
00:03:03FINALLY, THE PURPOSE OF THIS, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, IS WE
00:03:07ARE GOING TO BE CHANGING THE
00:03:12NAME OF LAKE ONTARIO, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, TO LAKE AMERICA.
00:03:16THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE RIGHT NOW AS I SIGNED THE ORDER. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY
00:03:20ABOUT IT? >> THIS IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD
00:03:23BUT IMPORTANT EXECUTIVE ORDER. IT DIRECTS SECRETARY BURNHAM AND
00:03:29DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO UPDATE THE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SERVICE TO REFLECT THAT THE LAKE ONCE KNOWN AS LAKE
00:03:34ONTARIO WELL FROM THIS DAY FORWARD BE KNOWN AS LAKE AMERICA.
00:03:37THIS IS A LAKE THAT HAS MOST OF ITS VOLUME IN THE UNITED STATES.
00:03:40THE DEEPEST PARTS OF THE LAKE IS IN THE U.S. TERRITORY. THIS WILL REFLECT THAT THIS IS
00:03:44AN AMERICAN LAKE. PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU.
00:03:48OK.
00:04:00[PEN SCRATCHING]
00:04:07OK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:04:11AND WE FILED ALL THE NECESSARY
00:04:17PAPERS, DOCUMENTS, EVERYTHING ELSE. WE NOTIFIED ALL THE VARIOUS PEOPLE WE HAVE TO NOTIFY.
00:04:21SO WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO DO.
00:04:24AND THIS IS OFFICIAL, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
00:04:28DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ANYBODY?
00:04:30>> THAT VIDEO YOU PUT UP
00:04:34YESTERDAY OF YOU CROSSING OUT LAKE ONTARIO AND WRITING LAKE
00:04:39AMERICA, IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY 30
00:04:43MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS ALL SOCIAL. WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU SENDING TO CANADA WITH THIS MOVE? WHY WAS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU?
00:04:46PRES. TRUMP: INTERESTING QUESTION. NO MESSAGE.
00:04:51AS YOU KNOW, CANADA HAS BEEN RIPPING US OFF FOR A LONG TIME ON TRADE, SADLY.
00:04:54EVEN THE MILITARY.
00:04:57YOU KNOW, WE DEFEND CANADA FOR NOTHING.
00:05:00THEY DON'T PAY US TO DEFEND CANADA, BUT WE DEFEND CANADA.
00:05:03AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:05:06AS AN EXAMPLE, WE BOUGHT ICEBREAKERS THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE.
00:05:10WE HAVE 11 BRAND-NEW BREAKERS COMING IN. THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE THE
00:05:14ICEBREAKERS. THEY DON'T PAY FOR ANYTHING. THEY WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A STATE. THEY ARE NOT A STATE.
00:05:17BUT THEY WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A STATE. WE CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE.
00:05:22WE LOSE ON AVERAGE, OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS, $16 BILLION A
00:05:26YEAR CARRYING CANADA. SO WE JUST CAN'T ANYMORE.
00:05:29WE LOVE THE PEOPLE OF CANADA. I DON'T THINK THEIR REPRESENTATIVES DO AN APPROPRIATE JOB.
00:05:32MAYBE THEY WILL CHANGE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW. DOESN'T MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE.
00:05:37BUT WE CAN'T LET THE WHOLE
00:05:40CANADIAN THING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES, AND IT HAS TO COME
00:05:44TO A STOP.
00:05:46SO WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING
00:05:48TARIFFS ON THEIR CARS THAT ARE COMING IN AT A SUBSTANTIAL LEVEL.
00:05:52BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE THE CARS HERE.
00:05:55THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN CARS IF
00:05:58THEY WANT, AND THEY CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR CARS IN CANADA.
00:06:01BUT WE DON'T WANT THEM TO MAKE
00:06:06CARS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IT'S VERY SIMPLE. LIKEWISE MANY OTHER PRODUCTS.
00:06:10THE LAKE CHANGE, LAKE OF
00:06:14AMERICA, WAS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT A LONG TIME.
00:06:18AS YOU KNOW, WE TOOK SOMETHING CALLED THE GULF OF MEXICO AND CHANGED IT.
00:06:21NOW IT'S VERY ROUTINELY THE GULF OF AMERICA.
00:06:26IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WE HAVE A GULF AND A LAKE AND NOW ALL WE
00:06:30NEED IS AN OCEAN.
00:06:34MAYBE WE WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE ATLANTIC AND/OR PACIFIC.
00:06:42>> -- DOING THINGS LIKE THIS TOWARD AMERICA'S ALLIES INSTEAD OF DOING THINGS THAT TARGET
00:06:46ADVERSARIES? PRES. TRUMP: CANADIAN OFFICIALS
00:06:49HAVE TREATED US BADLY. THEY ARE NASTY PEOPLE.
00:06:53THEY CHARGE OUR FARMERS 400% TARIFFS.
00:06:57THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IT A LONG TIME.
00:07:00I HAD THEM FIGURED OUT MY FIRST TERM AND I DID SOME PRETTY STRONG THINGS.
00:07:04PRETTY GOOD. THEN THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED,
00:07:08AND I'M COMING BACK AND FINISHING THE JOB.
00:07:10BUT THEY TREAT US VERY BADLY. CANADA TREATS US BADLY.
00:07:16OF ALL COUNTRIES -- AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PRESIDENT XI IS COMING IN A COUPLE WEEKS. WE DEAL WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE.
00:07:21PEOPLE OFTEN TIMES WILL ASK ME, WHO IS THE WORST TO DEAL WITH ON
00:07:24TRADE? I SAID, THAT'S EASY.
00:07:27CANADA. THEY ARE THE WORST TO TRADE.
00:07:30THEY FEEL ENTITLED. WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.
00:07:35>> TED CRUZ KEEPS TEASING A 2020 PRESIDENTIAL RUN.
00:07:40YOU HAVE RUN AGAINST HIM FOR PRESIDENT. DO YOU THINK HE COULD BE PRESIDENT? PRES. TRUMP: YOU SAY HE IS GOING
00:07:43TO RUN?
00:07:46>> HE IS TEASING, TALKING ABOUT IT. PRES. TRUMP: YOU DON'T MEAN 2020.
00:07:51>> 2028. PRES. TRUMP: I WOULD SAY HE IS
00:07:55VERY TALENTED. GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. I THINK HE MIGHT DO THAT, YEAH.
00:07:58HE IS A TALENTED GUY.
00:08:01>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THOSE WHO ARE CONCERNED CONCERNED A
00:08:05TRADE DISPUTE WITH CANADA COULD AFFECT AMERICAN AFFORDABILITY AHEAD OF MIDTERMS?
00:08:09PRES. TRUMP: ULTIMATELY IT'S GOING TO BE VERY GOOD FOR US.
00:08:14WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY, WE ARE LOSING $62
00:08:17BILLION A YEAR ON AVERAGE WITH CANADA.
00:08:20AND IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT IT, WE ARE LOSING MORE THAN THAT. IT IS TOO MUCH. WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT.
00:08:23WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT ANYMORE.
00:08:27>> HAS VLADIMIR PUTIN AGREED OR COMMITTED TO NOT ATTACKING A NATO TERRITORY?
00:08:30PRES. TRUMP: I HAVE HAD GOOD TALKS WITH HIM. HE IS NOT GOING TO BE ATTACKING
00:08:34A NATO TERRITORY. >> THE SUPREME COURT EARLIER
00:08:37THIS WEEK RULED ON MAIL-IN
00:08:41BALLOTS, AND THERE ARE STATES LIKE NORTH CAROLINA THAT HAVE BALLOTS THAT GO OUT NEXT WEEK. HOW ARE STATES SUPPOSED TO
00:08:45IMPLEMENT THIS IN TIME? PRES. TRUMP: NORTH CAROLINA IS
00:08:49GREAT. IT'S A GREAT PLACE.
00:08:52I WON AT GOLF THREE TIMES.
00:08:55THEY DO SOME MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
00:08:58BASICALLY THEY RULED ON THE LEGITIMACY AND THE WAY WE WANT
00:09:01TO MAKE THEM LEGITIMATE. IT WAS A GREAT RULING FOR THE REPUBLICAN --
00:09:04[INDISCERNIBLE]
00:09:09>> -- DELIVER A WARNING TO
00:09:12RUSSIA NOT TO ATTACK NATO TERRITORY --
00:09:13PRES. TRUMP: I DON'T WANT TO
00:09:16COMMENT ON THAT, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ATTACK.
00:09:20[REPORTERS CLAMORING]
00:09:24>> WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO AMERICANS MISSING IN NEPAL?
00:09:25PRES. TRUMP: TERRIBLE.
00:09:28WE HAVE CALLED, WE HAVE OFFERED ANY HELP THEY NEED.
00:09:32WE HAVE A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH NEPAL. THAT WAS BRUTAL.
00:09:36THAT WAS MUD AND WATER AS A MIXTURE. NOBODY'S EVER SEEN ANYTHING
00:09:39QUITE LIKE THAT.
00:09:44VERY POWERFUL, STRONG, WELL-BUILT BUILDINGS WIPED OUT LIKE TOOTHPICKS.
00:09:49THAT'S A TERRIBLE THING. NO, WE ARE SENDING AID. AND WE'VE SPOKEN TO THE
00:09:52LEADERSHIP AND WE LET THEM KNOW
00:09:56ANYTHING THEY WANT, WE WILL HAVE. AND THERE WERE 50, MAYBE 60 AMERICANS OVER THERE. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE FULL LIST
00:10:00YET, BUT HOPEFULLY THEY'RE OK,
00:10:04BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING
00:10:06THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT BE -- SOMEBODY WILL BE LOST, UNFORTUNATELY.
00:10:10>> THERE IS REPORTS THAT
00:10:13VLADIMIR PUTIN IS MEETING WITH
00:10:15THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN TO TALK ABOUT A NUCLEAR AGREEMENT NEXT WEEK.
00:10:18IS THERE CONCERN IN THE ADMINISTRATION, IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT THESE COUNTRIES
00:10:22AREN'T TAKING ECONOMIC D-DAY
00:10:23SERIOUSLY, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING BUSINESS WITH
00:10:27IRAN DESPITE THE WARNINGS?
00:10:29PRES. TRUMP: THEY ARE NOT PAYING THEIR TROOPS.
00:10:33THEY'RE IN DEEP TROUBLE. THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE CAPACITY. LAST NIGHT WE TOOK 24 BOATS
00:10:37THROUGH THE STRAIT. WE'RE TAKING THEM THROUGH ALL THE TIME.
00:10:40I SAY IT VERY OPENLY.
00:10:42IT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE FINISHED
00:10:47WITH THE MILITARY, BUT WE ARE -- THE STRAIT IS OPEN, AS YOU KNOW. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS OPEN.
00:10:50WE HAVE CONTROL AND WE HAVE THE BLOCKADE.
00:10:54IRAN'S NOT GETTING ANYTHING.
00:10:55NOTHING IS GOING THROUGH.
00:10:59NOT ONE SHIP HAS GOTTEN THROUGH.
00:10:59>> -- PUTIN OR RUSSIA IF THEY
00:11:03CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS WITH IRAN? PRES. TRUMP: SO FAR RUSSIA HAS
00:11:08BEHAVED QUITE WELL HAVING TO DO WITH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
00:11:13YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO, WE DO ALSO.
00:11:15SOMEBODY IS SAYING ABOUT CHINA, WHAT ABOUT CHINA?
00:11:18WE HEAR THEY'RE SPYING. WE SPY ON THEM TOO.
00:11:20IT'S THE WAY IT GOES.
00:11:24>> WHY NOT SANCTION CHINESE BANKS WHO ARE DOING BUSINESS WITH IRAN?
00:11:26PRES. TRUMP: WELL, WHO SAID I'M NOT? YOU SAID WHY NOT?
00:11:30I MEAN, WHO SAID I'M NOT? YOU DON'T KNOW IF I'M DOING IT. I DON'T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE
00:11:34EVERYTHING, DO I? >> WHAT OTHER LEADERS HAVE YOU
00:11:38SPOKEN TO ABOUT THIS PRESSURE CAMPAIGN TO GET THEM TO CUT OFF TIES WITH IRAN?
00:11:41PRES. TRUMP: ABOUT IRAN?
00:11:45THERE'S NOT A LOT TO SPEAK TO. WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO MEET OR ANYTHING.
00:11:50THE STRAIT IS OPEN.
00:11:52MILLIONS OF BARRELS OF OIL ARE COMING OUT OF THE STRAIT EVERY
00:11:56DAY. OTHER COUNTRIES RECOGNIZE THAT.
00:12:01EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY PUT
00:12:03SOME -- WE TOTALLY CLEARED THE
00:12:07STRAIT. WE HAVE THE BEST MINESWEEPERS IN THE WORLD.
00:12:09WE HAVE TOTALLY CLEARED THE
00:12:13STRAIT OF MINES, AND WE ARE WATCHING CLOSELY THROUGH SPACE FORCE.
00:12:17WE SEE EVERY INCH OF THE STRAIT.
00:12:20WE SEE IT AND TAKE IT OUT.
00:12:26SO I WILL BE GOING TO TEXAS, AND WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD.
00:12:32HE IS RUNNING AGAINST -- WE HAVE A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE, KEN
00:12:37PAXTON, AND HE IS RUNNING
00:12:38AGAINST TALA-FREAKO, THEY CALLED
00:12:45HIM, BECAUSE HE IS A LITTLE FREAKY.
00:12:48THAT'S NOT A MAN THAT REPRESENTS THE VALUE OF TEXAS. SO I'M GOING TO HELP KEN PAXTON, AND I'M GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF
00:12:52TIME IN TEXAS. I HAVE THE ALL-TIME HIGHEST VOTE IN THE HISTORY OF TEXAS ALSO. AND I'M GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME THERE.
00:12:56WE'RE GOING TONIGHT. SOME OF YOU ARE GOING WITH ME.
00:12:58THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
