Trump said Mike Pompeo wasn't supposed to meet with Kim Jong Un, then suddenly stops ranting, pauses for a split second, starts stammering, and tries to reverse course by saying the meeting was planned abruptly when he got there.
Other highlights:
“Michael would represent me and represent me on some things,” Trump said. “He represented me like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me. He represented me and you know, from what I see he did absolutely nothing wrong.”
“Michael is in business — he’s really a businessman, a fairly big business as I understand it, I don’t know his business but this doesn’t have to do with me,” Trump said, attempting to distance himself from Cohen. “Michael is a businessman. He’s got a business, he also practices law. I would say probably the big thing is his business, and they’re looking at something to do with his business. This doesn’t have to do with me. I have many attorneys — sadly, I have so many attorneys you wouldn’t even believe it.”
"Our Justice Department, which I try and stay away from, but at some point, I won’t — our Justice Department should be looking at that kind of stuff, not the nonsense of collusion with Russia. There is no collusion with me and Russia, and everybody knows it.”
"I have decided I won't be involved. I may change my mind. Its a disgrace! The only collusion is with the Democrats and Russians. Take a look. They wouldn't give their server to the FBI. So what kind of FBI. They break down doors for Paul Manafort. They undo the lock for Michael Cohen. And yet they walk into the DNC. They won't hand over the servers. Okay we'll leave. That's a fix!"
"...those memos were about me and they're phony memos. He didn't write those memos accurately! He put a lot of phony stuff. For instance, I went to Russia for a day or so, a day or two, because I own the Miss Universe pageant so I went there to watch it because it was near Moscow so I go to Russia. Now, I didn't go there - everyone knows the logs are there, the planes are there - he said, I didn't stay there a night. Of course I stayed there. I stayed there a very short period of time but of course I stayed. Well his memo says I left immediately abo - I never said that! I never said I left immediately. So I said - and, you know the funny thing, he does these memos, and then fake news CNN whose a total fake, you know they give Hillary Clinton the questions to the debate. Nobody - can you imagine, by the way, if... you gave me... the questions... to a debate. They would have you out of business and they'd have me, uh, you better get out of this campaign, whea - they don't even bring it up!"
"I don't watch [CNN] at all. I watched them last night."
