You never know what’s going to happen with war.To me, it was always the Gulf of America. I could never understand. We have 92 percent of the frontage, and for years—actually, 350 years, they were there before us—it was called the Gulf of Mexico. I just had this idea. I’m looking at a map, I’m saying, “We have most of the frontage. Why is it Gulf of Mexico? Why isn’t it the Gulf of America?”And I made the change, and it went smoothly.The name is the Gulf of America. Google Maps changed the name, everybody did, but AP wouldn’t, and then we won in court. How about that? Isn’t that so cool?You know, when I have a general and I have to sign for a general—because we have beautiful paper, gorgeous paper. I said, “Throw a little more gold on it. They deserve it.” Give me—I want the A paper, not the D paper.We used to sign a piece of garbage. I said, “This man’s going to be a general, right? Yeah? I don’t want to use this, I want to use the big, beautiful, firm paper.And I sign it. Actually, I love my signature, I really do.My favorite word in the English dictionary is the word tariff. And people thought that was strange. And the fake news came over, and they really hit me hard on it. They said, what about love? What about religion? What about God? What about wife, family? I got killed when I said tariff is my favorite word. So, I changed it. It’s now my fifth favorite word. And I’m okay with that. I’m okay with that. But they hit me hard. But it is. I mean, when you look at …The other day they had 31 billion that they found: $31 billion. So, we found $31 billion and we’re not sure from where it came.A gentleman came in, a financial guy. I said, “Well, what does that mean?” He said, “We don’t know where it came.” I said, “Check the tariff shelf.” “No, sir, the tariffs haven’t started in that sector yet.” I said, “Yes, they have. They started seven weeks ago. Check it”—comes back 20 minutes later: “Sir, you’re right, it came from tariffs.” Thirty-one billion. That’s enough to buy a lot of battleships, Admiral, to use an old term. I think we should maybe start thinking about battleships.I’m an aesthetic person. And I’m not a fan of some of the ships you do. I’m a very aesthetic person, and I don’t like some of the ships you’re doing aesthetically. They say, “Oh, it’s stealth.” I say, “That’s not stealth.” An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you’re stealth.By the way, the B-2 bombers were incredible.We’re actually considering the concept of battleship: solid steel, not aluminum. I’m sort of open to it.We were not respected with Biden. They looked at him falling downstairs every day. Every day, the guy’s falling downstairs—said, it’s not our president. We can’t have it. I’m very careful, you know, when I walk downstairs, like, I’m on stairs, like these stairs. I’m very—I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall, because it doesn’t work out well.A few of our presidents have fallen, and it became a part of their legacy. We don’t want that. You walk nice and easy. You’re not having—you don’t have to set any record. Be cool. Be cool when you walk down, but don’t, don’t bop down the stairs. So one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs. I’d never say—da da da da da da ba ba ba, he’d go down the stairs, wouldn’t hold on. I said, it’s great. I don’t want to do it. I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things are going to happen, and it only takes once. But he did a lousy job as president.We will fight, fight, fight, and we will win, win, win.[Delete] [Mark as Spam]Click here to unsubscribe!DJT
