Donald Trump starts by comparing Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine to two children fighting like crazy in a park.

You see it in hockey. Here, play this clip. But sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other and they're fighting in a park. And you try and pull them apart. They don't want to be pulled. Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart. They don't want to be pulled. Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart. And I gave that analogy to Putin yesterday. I said, President, maybe you're going to have to keep fighting and suffering a lot because

both sides. Next, Donald Trump says that Putin told him that he has no choice but to further attack Ukraine and it's not going to be pretty. Play this clip. There's some additional fighting that's going to go on. You know, he was he attacked and they attacked pretty harshly. They went deep into Russia.

And he actually told me I mean, I made it very clear. He said we have no choice but to attack based on that. And it's probably not going to be. Now, the whole point of Friedlich-Mars meeting with Donald Trump was to try to get the United States to support Europe in defending Ukraine. And this is what Donald Trump is saying. Then Donald Trump starts talking about the 2020 election, and he says that it was rigged, and he says the biggest scandal outside of the rigged 2020 election is the auto pen scandal. You're play this clip.

Look, the auto pen, I think, is the big scandal outside of the rigged election of 2020. I think the biggest scandal of the last many years is the auto pen. And who's using it? He then continues to talk about AutoPen and his view that former President Biden really wasn't running the country and there was a robot that was running the country because Biden was executed in 2020. And then there was a auto pen that was just signing things and that that's how the country was being run. This is what Trump is saying in front of Friedlich Mars. And Donald Trump says he hasn't uncovered anything yet. He said, but he had a debate with the human mind. He says he debated the human mind and he's seen the human he's seen the human mind. Donald Trump says here play this clip.

Have you uncovered any evidence that anything specific was signed without President Biden's knowledge or by other people in the administration acting illegally? Well, I don't think Biden would know whether or not he signed it. I'm asking if you've uncovered any of that information. No, but I've uncovered, you know, the human mind. I was in a debate with the human mind, and I didn't think he knew what the hell he was doing. So, you know, it's just one of those things,

one of those problems. We can't ever allow that to happen to our country. The danger our country is in, and I know some of the people that worked with him, radical left, horrible people. And I could give you the name of some of the people that use the Odo Pen, because I'm here. He's seen the human mind.

What in the world is he even saying? This is, as an American, this is just so humiliating to watch this go down in the Oval Office. And then you have Friedrich Mars in a very solemn way in the Oval Office say, you know, tomorrow is the D-Day anniversary when the Americans ended a war in Europe. And Trump's response was, that was not a pleasant day for you, not a pleasant day. And Friedrich Mars has to explain, it was the liberation of my country from a Nazi dictatorship, Donald. And we need to focus on what Putin is doing right now and remember the lessons of history. Here play this clip.

June 6th tomorrow, this is D-Day anniversary when the Americans once ended a war in Europe. And I think this is in your hand in specific, in ours. That was not a pleasant day for you? No, that was not a pleasant. Well, in the long run, Mr. President, this was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship. That's true. And we know what we owe you. But this is the reason why I'm saying that America is again in a very strong position

to do something on this war and ending this war. So let's talk about what we can do jointly and we are ready to do what we can. And you know that we gave support to Ukraine and that we are looking for more pressure on Russia. The European Union did and we should talk about that. Then Donald Trump just lies and says that eggs have come down 400 percent, which they haven't play this clip. Grocery prices are down.

Everything. Remember eggs, eggs. We weren't going to buy another egg for the next 20 years. It was so expensive. Right. Remember you guys all hit me about eggs eggs have come down 400% everybody has eggs now they have an eggs for breakfast again But if you're going back to Russia Donald Trump says you know if Russia gets out of line

We'll be like ah you'll be so amazed. You'll be so amazed how tough we are. I don't have any friends What what is he even saying play this clip? It'll happen. I believe that And if it doesn't happen or if I see somebody's out of line if Russia's out of line will be You'll be amazed how tough remember this They like to say that I'm friends with I'm not friends with anybody. I'm friends with you They like to say that I'm friends with, I'm not friends with anybody. I'm friends with you. I'm not friends with that. I want the right thing to happen for our country, for everybody, for humanity.

But I'm the one that stopped the pipeline. It's called Nord Stream 2. Until I came along, nobody ever heard, not one person in this room ever heard of Nord Stream 2. You probably did because it went to Germany. Trump is asked about sanctions on Russia and Donald Trump says It's in my brain the deadline. It's in my brain will be very tough. It could be on both countries both countries Both countries and you have the German Chancellor Friedrich Mars looking at him like you are an idiot

Both countries. What are you talking about? Play this clip. You got enough. Go ahead. Mr. President, so what do you consider to put more sanctions on Russia because this discussion is going on now for weeks and months and you tweeted about it once, but then nothing happens. Yeah, when I see, when I see the moment when we're not going to make a deal when this thing won't stop.

Is there a deadline? When I see the moment when we're not going to make a deal when this thing won't stop, in that moment, yeah, it's in my brain, the deadline. When I see the moment where it's not going to stop, and I'm sure you're going to do the same thing, it will be very, very tough. And it could be on both countries, to be honest, you know, it takes two to tango, but we're going to be very tough. Whether it's Russia or anybody else, we're going to be honest you know it takes two to tango but they'll be we're gonna be very tough whether it's Russia or anybody else we're gonna be very tough that a reporter asked Donald Trump if you did this travel ban based upon the Egyptian the terrorist attack by the Egyptian national in Boulder Colorado why isn't Egypt added to the list of the country subject to your travel ban?

And Trump's like, Oh, I just, I like Egypt better play this clip. On your new travel ban, why now? And if the Boulder attack was part of your reasoning, why not include Egypt on that list where the suspect is from? Well, because Egypt has been a country that we deal with very closely. They have things under control. The countries that very closely. They have things under control. The countries that we have don't have things under control. And why now?

I can say that it can't come soon enough, frankly. We want to keep bad people out of our country. The Biden administration allowed some horrendous people, and we're getting them out one by one, and we're not stopping until we get them out. We have thousands of murderers. I hate to I even hate to say this in front of the chancellor because you have a little problem too with some of the people that were allowed in

small. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It shouldn't have happened. I told her it shouldn't have happened what she did. But you have you have your own difficulty with that. And we do. And we're moving them out and we're moving them out.

And we're moving them out very strongly. But it can't come fast enough. We wanna get them out. We wanna get them out now. We don't wanna have other bad people coming into our country by using the word bad on being nice. Okay, question. The weather is heating up

Donald Trump says on Elon Musk, I think he just misses the place and he has Trump derangement syndrome. Play this clip. Some of them embrace it and some of them actually become hostile. I don't know what it is. It's sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it. But we have it with others too. They leave and they wake up in the morning and the glamour's gone. The whole world is different and they become hostile. I don't know what it is.

Someday you'll write a book about it and you'll let us know. Yeah. He's the president. Then Donald Trump says, Elon wore the hat. That said Trump is right on everything. So once you wear the hat, you can't criticize me.

He wore the hat. That's what Trump says here play this clip. And then Donald Trump talks about Elon Musk having a black eye and Trump says, I offered him makeup. Now he's coming out against the budget bill. I told him to wear makeup when I saw he had a black eye. Play the clue. He wanted that person, a certain person, and we said no. And I can understand why he's upset. Remember, he was here for a long time. You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the oval desk.

And even with the black eye, I said, do you want a little makeup? We'll get you a little makeup. But he said, no, I don't think so, which is interesting. And very nice. He wants to be who he is. So you could make that statement too, I guess. Look, Elon. Then Donald Trump lies and just makes up that there's a trade deal between the United

States and China when all that happened was the United States capitulated and took 145 percent tariffs to 30 percent tariffs. And then Donald Trump Spoke to Xi Jinping Donald Trump begged for a call this morning with Xi Jinping the United States president begged for a call with Xi Jinping and the reason he begged for a call is because American car manufacturers and industry are not getting the rare earth minerals That were needed as part of the supply chain process, the manufacturing process. So Trump had to beg Xi Jinping to release some of the rare earth minerals from China.

Here, play this clip. With China, as you know, but we were straightening out some of the points having to do mostly with rare earth, magnets and some other things. So it's reduced trade tariff rates, they remain in effect? Yeah, we have the deal. I mean, we've had a deal. We announced the deal.

And we'll be, I guess you could say, I wouldn't even say finalizing it up, Scott. I would say we have a deal, and we're going to just make sure that everybody understands what the deal is. Okay? He had a really good presentation. By the way, he invited me to China, and I invited him here. We both accepted. So, I'll be going there with the First Lady Donald Trump then finishes the press conference by saying how disappointed he is that Elon play the clip. that'll be next. But I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.

And he continues to say that Elon is very upset that we took out the electric vehicle mandate, play this clip. All of the things that we're doing, nobody's ever seen anything like it. And, you know, Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate and, you know, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles. And, you know, they're having a lot of money for electric vehicles.

And you know, they're having a hard time with the electric vehicles, and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy. And you know, I, I, Elon knew this from the beginning. He knew it for a long time ago. That's been in there. That's been, I would say, JD, that hasn't changed. That's been right from the beginning. Mr. I think Mr. Secretary, that hasn't changed. That's been right from the beginning. Mr. I think Mr. Secretary

that hasn't changed at all right from the beginning. But I know that disturbed him. He wanted and rightfully you know he recommended somebody from that he I guess knew very well. I'm sure he respected him but to run NASA and I didn't think it was appropriate and he happened to be a Democrat, like totally Democrat. And I say, you know, look, we won. We get certain privileges. And one of the privileges, we don't have to appoint a Democrat.

NASA is very important. We have great people. General Kane is gonna be picking somebody with our, we'll be checking them out, seeing, but he wanted that person, a certain person, and we said no. And I can understand why he's upset. Remember, he was here for...

And again, it should be noted that Donald Trump was the one who begged for the call with China this morning. And then Elon Musk responded and said, "'Whatever, keep the EV solar incentive cuts in the bill, "'even though no oil and gas subsidies are touched, very unfair, but ditch the mountain of disgusting pork in the bill. In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that is both big and beautiful.
