00:04Oh, she's going to have a great birthday.

00:07She's got a working birthday. She's up front.

00:11I should send her back. You want to have somebody answer a question?

00:14I'll send her back into the lion's pit.

00:18Susie, let's send Melania back to the lion's pit.

00:22Are you taking her to dinner, Mr. President?

00:25By the way, they would love that one.

00:26Can we see your office up there sometime this weekend?

00:32Yeah, you can come up. We'll let them come up a little bit later.

00:37Are you taking Mrs. Trump to dinner or have you had time to get her a present?

00:42You've been very busy.

00:43I'll take her for dinner on the Boeing.

00:47I'll take her for dinner on Air Force One.

00:50I haven't had much time to have my presents.

00:53We've been pretty busy.

00:55But it's working out.

00:56Things are working out very well.

00:58People are starting to understand how good tariffs are for us.

01:02And, you know, tariffs have been used against us for 50 years.

01:06Now, I never understood it as a private person why we allowed that to happen.

01:12You know, it goes back a long time.

01:14But I never understood it.

01:15Why did we allow that to happen?

01:17Where we couldn't go into China, but they could come here.

01:20We couldn't go into Europe, but they could come here.

01:22So many, every place.

01:24We couldn't go into India.

01:25They could come here.

01:27I never understood why they allowed that.

01:31And I don't blame the countries.

01:33I blame the presidents for allowing it to happen.

01:35But you have a different kind of a president now.

01:38So, thank you very much.

01:39I'll see you in the next question.

01:40Thank you, sir.
