“ Nineteen years is a long time.
And the Middle East — the whole Middle East equation, if you look at what's happened, if you've looked at the stupidity of decisions that were made, including the deal that was made — I mean, take a look at what happened with Iran. Had that deal stayed and I had not broken that deal, you could have never done the deal that I'm doing now where all the countries are pouring in.
And I had two calls this morning with countries; they want to know, "When can we go into the deal?" They want to go. It's not that we're giving them anything. ”

“ Because we're building that up as a great medical pharmaceutical manufacturing area where, you know, we're going to be taking back a lot of the business that we let go for years. And we're bringing — we're going to bring it back. They were very good at it. They did a fantastic job, but they destroyed it with their tax policy. They made it impossible for people to stay, so people went to China, mostly, and to other countries.
Puerto Rico has been very corrupt in terms of its politicians. You see that. They're one after another. ”

“ So what's going to happen on November 3rd when somebody is leading and they say, "Well, look, we haven't counted the ballots; we have millions of ballots to count"? It's a disaster. Everyone knows it. Everyone knows it's a disaster. ”

“ The Post Office has been a mess for many, many generations, but for certainly decades. And it loses a lot of money. It's always lost a lot of money. And one of the reasons it loses a lot of money now is that it's delivering all these packages. And every time they deliver a package, they lose $3 a package or whatever the number may be. ”

“ We're dealing very well with the Taliban. They're very tough, they're very smart, they're very sharp. But, you know, it's been 19 years, and even they are tired of fighting, in all fairness. And we really served as a police force, because if we wanted to do what we had to do, we would have fought a lot differently than they have over their 19 years. ”

“ Because what we're doing is we've been working on it for a long time to get it passed. Very tough to get things past Democrats, where they don't want to see this happen. And they probably, certainly, didn't want to see it happen at this point.
But it's a big package. It's a great package. And I think the most exciting part of the package isn't necessarily the billions of dollars; it's going to be what we do with the pharmaceutical industry. We're going to get them back into Puerto Rico. They like being there, but they changed the tax situation ”

“ They want security, they want peace, and they're really tired of fighting. It's incredible. They're tired of fighting. They've been fighting for so many years. They're tired of fighting. Thank you very much.
Why aid to Puerto Rico now, since in the past you've said they got too much Play on mobile device [19:34] Q: Mr. President, a question on the vaccine, but first on Puerto Rico. I heard you many times over the past couple of years saying that Puerto Rico got too much money. I mean, just last year, you said Puerto Rico was one of the "most corrupt places on Earth". ”

“ And, by the way, the Democrats ought to open up their states and they ought them up fast, Jon. The faster, the better — because they're hurting their people. A lot of damage done with these extended shutdowns. But we saved millions of lives by doing it the way we did it. And now we're opening it up, and you see the kind of numbers — the manufacturing numbers ”

“ But I think more exciting than the dollars — and you have to do something with respect to their grid; their grid is a disaster, their generators are wiped out. And they've been wiped out for years, long before Maria came. ”

“ Do you expect a TikTok deal before or after election Play on mobile device [14:14] Q: And on TikTok, sir, if you don't — if you don't mind: The Commerce Department essentially gave you a runway today to strike a deal after the election. Do you expect the TikTok deal before the election or after the election?
THE PRESIDENT: I think it could go quickly. We have great companies talking to us about it. You know about Oracle; you know Microsoft has been involved, and let's see whether or not they're continuing to be involved. Walmart is truly a great company. They are very much involved ”

“ Ultimately, we got it down to 50, and I thought they were in great danger when you have two armies sitting there looking to fight, and you have 50 people in the middle. I don't care who you are, even if you're the U.S. — those 50 people are in great danger. ”

“ So — but we have a lot of very important decisions coming down on this, on the scam of unsolicited ballots, where they're sending out tens of millions of ballots to everybody — people that didn't expect them. People are getting inundated with bal- — they'll be showered with ballots. ”
