White House: President Trump Gaggles with Press Upon Departure from the White House, Oct. 2, 2026

I like it. That looks good. This is the way the White House is supposed to look. Not asphalt. Broken, dirty asphalt.

Look at this.

The finest stone you can buy anywhere in the world. Okay. So I'm heading to— I'm heading to Alabama, a place that I won all 3 times. Record votes, like Texas, like Oklahoma, like a lot of them. And we're going to give a little speech, and I hope they like it.

President Trump, you're saying now that if Democrats win control of Congress, they will impeach you. But you've already been impeached twice. So what's the third time? Well, I don't know, but I'm getting good at it. And it's a fake impeachment.

And we could have done that with Sleepy Joe, but we didn't do it because it would have been appropriate. I could have done that with Hillary Clinton. As you know, I had the chance to do it if I wanted. And I said that would be inappropriate. But with me, they like to I'm doing so well.

And if you travel around now, 32 stops before the midterms, do you think it's going to be harder for Republicans to keep the House or to keep the Senate? I think it's pretty even. I think that we're making a lot of progress. When I go there, we win. If I don't go there, we would not do as well.

You know, as you know, when I run, we get 44% more votes. So I'm asking them to go out and vote. They said, I'm not running, but I'm saying pretend I'm running. We want to pretend I'm running. I hope you like what you're seeing here.

That's getting all sorts of awards. And the best of all—. Yes. You see the new crane, the red boom? That's one of the biggest cranes in the world that lifts up the steel for the roof.

Pretty cool, right? What's that? Giselle, you're a hero. You're a hero. You always get the same question about the same country.

It's always the same question about the same country, but he's a nice guy. Thank you. Mr. President, people believe you never get tired. I never get tired. And, Mr. President, what will be—.

If I got tired, it would be a big story, I can tell you. What will be your next step regarding Iraq? You have to say. Oh, it's incredible. Well, if I told you, you'd have a major story, right?

But you'll see it's working out very well. Iran is not doing well. Sir, your message to pro-life voters, your message to pro-life Americans ahead of the midterms, your message to pro-life Americans ahead of the midterms. We love them. We love them.

We love everybody. I like, actually, I love everybody. One of those things. But we do love them. And you saw, Mr. President, South Korea said they have not signed off on this Alaska pipeline yet?

They're still studying it. Did you jump the gun? Well, I didn't jump the gun. I mean, they were there and they were represented. And let's see, if they don't want to do it, that's okay with me.

I'll just charge them more. What did you think about the jobs report? What did you think about the jobs report? They said they didn't sign. They said they're still studying it.

Tell them if they don't sign shortly, I'm going to double it up, okay? Your diesel deal. Your diesel deal. I do this. Your diesel deal with Europe.

Share your diesel deal with Europe. How did that happen? Your diesel deal with Europe. Your diesel deal with Europe. They asked for it.

Europe has a lot of diesel, and they're going to be making a major world contribution, and so are we. And we're not going to be doing the export ban. We're going to be doing what we're supposed to do. But I did ask them, and they We're going to have a lot of oil very shortly. As soon as Iran ends, which won't be long, not going to be long, you're going to have oil go down to the price it was before, maybe even lower than I got it at the beginning.

For a Democrat, for a Democrat to make the biggest bargain during the highest inflation— for a Democrat to make the biggest—.

Now, a ban on your oil to Europe, an export ban to Europe. We have a very good relationship with Europe, and they wanted to do it because they have a lot of diesel. They use diesel, and they have a lot of diesel. I said it would be great if you put it out to the market. They did it, and that's a great thing.

Mr. President, what about the relationship with Giorgia Meloni now? Very good. I think it's very A very good good. Relationship. Mr. President, Mr. President, is the diesel export ban officially off the table now that you're getting supply from Europe?

No, no, we were never going to do it. I don't think we ever— but basically Europe was great because they're putting a lot of diesel oil out there. They have diesel. They use diesel disproportionately more than most, and they did a great thing. Mr. President, on AI.

Mr. President, on AI. Mr. President, on AI. You said I should NATO Summit back in July that you don't sanction your friends and it's time to lift the sanctions on Turkey. He wants to hold up. Who you with?

CNN. Turkey. Turkey? Yeah, I love Turkey. He's a president.

He wants to hold up. He's a president. I always speak to President Erdoğan. He's a friend of mine, as you know, and I'll always make—. He's a president.

Before the clocks go back You supported a lot of leaders in Latin America who won their elections. Are you going to support Bolsonaro in Brazil? Well, we're looking at the whole thing and we're watching that election very closely. Mr. President, why are you so hesitant about this? Well, it was never really on the table, but what Europe did was a great thing.

Mr. President, Republicans will be finding out about Senator Raichin, North Carolina. Are you worried about Wally? I am, because he's a great man, and I am worried about him. I hope he wins. He's a great man.

He was a great leader for the whole Republican Party when I won, and he'd be a great senator. And as you know, the man Cooper, he's got a lot of bad crime numbers. He's got horrible crime. What do you think about the charge against him? I got one more.

Sir, what do you think about New York's governor appointing a special prosecutor in the Cornell rape case, Letitia James? Well, Letitia James is a corrupt person. She's totally corrupt, and I can't imagine it. And I feel badly for whoever she's looking at because they won't get a fair shake. Letitia James is a corrupt person.
